Mississippi College

Mississippi College admits a moderately selective applicant pool — approximately 60% of applicants receive offers. While the LSAT remains important, the school's broader band of admitted scores means applicants near the median have a realistic pathway to admission when supported by a compelling overall application. Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 148 at the 25th percentile to 155 at the 75th percentile, a typical 7-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. This profile makes Mississippi College a reasonable match school for applicants whose LSAT scores fall in the mid-range of the reported distribution.

Mississippi College sits in the mid-range tuition tier relative to ABA-accredited law schools. The full-time non-resident tuition is $37,980 per year plus $1,662 in required fees. Living costs off campus are estimated at $26,100 per year. While not among the highest-cost programs, three-year total costs remain significant — typically $113,940 in tuition alone. Merit scholarships, where available, provide meaningful leverage for cost reduction. Prospective students are encouraged to model total cost of attendance including living expenses and compare net cost across admitted institutions before making a final enrollment decision.

Mississippi College awards grant aid to 65% of full-time students. Among recipients, the median grant award is $22,000 per year, with a range from $14,000 to $32,000. While a moderate share of the enrolled class benefits from scholarship funding, applicants in the upper portion of the LSAT distribution are better positioned to negotiate merit awards. Prospective students should factor in the uncertainty around scholarship eligibility when projecting net cost and are encouraged to compare offers across peer institutions before committing.
