Questions people ask

What LSAT score and GPA do I need for Harvard Law School?

Harvard's 2025 entering class had a median LSAT® score of 174 and a median GPA of 3.96. Its 25th to 75th percentiles were 171 to 176 and 3.89 to 4.00, and it accepted 9.2% of applicants.

What is a good LSAT score for law school?

It depends on the school. In 2025, 91 of the 196 ABA-approved schools had a median of 160 or higher, 48 had 165 or higher and 22 had 170 or higher. Half had a median of 159 or higher.

Is a 160 LSAT and 3.5 GPA good for law school?

Both reach the median at 50 of the 196 ABA-approved law schools in 2025, and both are above the 75th percentile at 5. At 75 schools, one of the two is below the 25th percentile.

Which law school is the hardest to get into?

Yale, by acceptance rate: it accepted 4.06% of its 5,562 applicants for 2025. Its median LSAT® score was 174 and its median GPA 3.96.

Where do these figures come from?

Each school's Standard 509 Information Report, which every ABA-approved law school must publish. The ABA posts new reports each December, and this page shows the year it uses.

What if my score is above the median but my GPA is below it?

Then that school's group follows your GPA, the lower of the two. The list shows each placement separately, so you can see which number is holding you back at each school.

How we work this out

What it does

Enter your score and GPA to see where you sit at every ABA-approved law school.

Every ABA-approved law school's 2025 Standard 509 Information Report: the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile LSAT® score and undergraduate GPA of the class that started in 2025, full- and part-time students together.

Method

For each school, your score is placed against its three published score percentiles, and your GPA against its three GPA percentiles.
Each number is below the 25th, between the 25th and the median, between the median and the 75th, or at or above the 75th. Equal to a percentile counts as reaching it.
A school's overall group is the lower of your two placements.
The big number counts the schools where both your score and your GPA reach the median.
