This tool provides directional estimates based on school-level data from the American Bar Association's Standard 509 Information Report. The statistics shown on this page — including LSAT percentiles, GPA ranges, acceptance rates, grant prevalence, and tuition figures — are drawn from Akron, The University of's ABA 509 disclosure data for the 2025 reporting cycle, the most recent cycle available at the time this page was generated. All estimated admission probabilities and scholarship likelihood figures are derived from a quantitative model that weights LSAT scores at 70% and undergraduate GPA at 30% of an applicant strength index. These estimates are directional in nature and are not guarantees of admission, scholarship eligibility, or any specific financial outcome. Individual application outcomes depend on a wide range of factors not captured in school-level ABA data, including personal statements, letters of recommendation, work experience, character and fitness disclosures, application timing, and year-to-year variation in applicant pool composition. Do not rely on these estimated figures as the sole basis for any significant financial or enrollment decision. The figures presented reflect historical patterns in reported data, not individual predictions. Use this information as one input among many when researching law schools — alongside official admissions consultations, financial aid award letters from institutions, and conversations with current students or alumni who have direct experience with the program.
