Law school rankings by median LSAT
All 196 ABA-accredited law schools, ranked by the median LSAT score of the Fall 2025 entering class. Ties share a rank. The table gives each school's LSAT and GPA ranges (25th to 75th percentile), acceptance rate, and annual tuition.
This is a selectivity ranking, not the U.S. News ranking. The order on this page comes from one number: the median LSAT of each school's Fall 2025 entering class, from ABA Standard 509 disclosures via ILRG. U.S. News weighs other factors and produces a different order. Use this list to see how competitive each school's entering class is, then open a school page for its full admissions picture.

How to read this table
- Rank is a selectivity rank by Fall 2025 median LSAT among the 196 schools here. Ties share a rank. It is not an overall quality ranking, and it is not the U.S. News ranking.
- LSAT and GPA ranges are the 25th and 75th percentiles of the Fall 2025 entering class: the middle half of admitted students fell inside each range.
- Acceptance rate is the Fall 2025 figure from the same disclosures. One school (Ohio Northern University) reports no acceptance rate in the source data; it is shown as N/A.
- Tuition is the 2025-2026 academic year sticker figure (nonresident rate where public schools split it; in-state rate shown where published). Every cost figure on this page is an estimate, not a guarantee. Fees, books, and living costs are extra.
- Merit aid shows whether the school awards merit scholarships. Schools marked "Need-based only" award financial aid on need, not on LSAT or GPA.
