The Newest LSAT and GPA Medians – Class of 2023

Joshua CravenBy Updated:47 Comments37 Mins Read

New LSAT and GPA medians are out for the Class of 2023!

To help you pick reach, target, and safety schools, here are the most recent LSAT and GPA medians available, representing numbers for the law school class of 2023. Seeing the most recently admitted class numbers gives you the most accurate idea of where you’ll stand in the admissions game.

Generally, if both your numbers are above the median, consider that school a safety. Both below makes it a reach.

For comparison, I’ve provided the numbers for the previous few years so that you can see whether it’s gotten slightly more competitive or less so at a school from year to year.

Some trends to notice: In most of the very top schools, LSAT and GPA numbers have either stayed roughly the same as last year or gotten marginally more competitive (slightly higher medians). The number of applicants with high LSAT scores has been increasing lately, so at these top schools, we may see LSAT medians jump by a point or two max for the entering Class of 2023.

LSAT and GPA Medians – Class of 2023

Here are the numbers!

(note: US News only ranks law schools up to 150. For the table sorting functionality to work properly, we had to enter a numeric value, so any school ranked “151” in our tables below was unranked in the latest US News Law School Rankings.)
