Frequently Asked Questions

How are these law school rankings calculated?

Rankings reflect each law school's relative position based on LSAT medians, GPA medians, acceptance rates, and reported employment or matriculation outcomes from ABA 509 disclosure reports. AdmitBase prioritises transparent, primary-source institutional data and does not use opinion surveys or peer-assessment scores.

How many ABA-accredited law schools are ranked?

AdmitBase ranks 198 ABA-accredited law schools in the 2025 cycle, covering every program with sufficient public admissions disclosure. Schools that do not publish LSAT or GPA data are listed separately and not assigned a numerical rank.

What is a competitive LSAT score for a top-ranked law school?

A competitive score at a top-25 law school typically sits at or above each school's 75th-percentile median in the ABA 509 data. Use the table below to compare your LSAT and GPA against each school's 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile — applicants at or above the median are considered targets; at or above the 75th percentile are statistical safeties.

How often are these rankings updated?

AdmitBase refreshes law school rankings annually, after the latest ABA 509 disclosure becomes available. The current rankings reflect 2025 cycle data. We also re-rank when an institution reports a meaningful interim change.

Should I choose a law school purely based on ranking?

No. Rankings are one input among several. Geography, programme fit, cost of attendance, bar passage or board pass rates, employment outcomes by sector, and scholarship offers can materially change which school is the right choice for a given applicant. AdmitBase publishes the underlying data so applicants can weight each factor themselves.
