LSAT Scores for Top 100 Law Schools: Complete Median Chart 2025

Knowing the median LSAT score at every law school on your list is the foundation of a smart application strategy. This chart covers median LSAT scores and GPA medians for the top 100 ABA-accredited law schools, organized by US News tier, so you can quickly see where you stand at each school.

How to Use This Chart

For each school, the most useful numbers are:

Median LSAT: The score at which exactly half of admitted students fall above and half below. If your score is at median, you are a numerically competitive applicant.
25th Percentile LSAT: The lower end of the admitted class. Applying below the 25th percentile means you are a statistical long shot at that school — possible with exceptional compensating factors, but not a realistic target.
75th Percentile LSAT: The upper end. Scoring at or above the 75th percentile means you are above average for that school’s admitted class — and a scholarship candidate.

How to Use This Data in Your Application Strategy

A smart school list uses your LSAT score to identify three tiers:

Reach schools: Your score is below the school’s median but above their 25th percentile — admission is possible with strong other factors
Target schools: Your score is at or near the median — you are numerically competitive
Scholarship schools: Your score is at or above the 75th percentile — you are a merit scholarship candidate

Use this chart to sort schools into each category. Build a list with 2–3 reaches, 3–4 targets, and 2–3 scholarship schools. Then use scholarship offers from the third tier as leverage when negotiating with your targets and reaches.

For a full breakdown of how scholarship strategy works, see the LSAT scholarship guide.
