Ohio Northern University

Ohio Northern University is a selective law school with an acceptance rate of approximately 32%. Admitted students present strong academic records, and LSAT scores play a meaningful role in distinguishing candidates in a competitive applicant pool. Falling below the 25th percentile LSAT cutoff significantly reduces admission odds, while scores above the 75th percentile place applicants in a strong competitive position. Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 145 at the 25th percentile to 150 at the 75th percentile, a typical 5-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. Applicants should approach this school as a realistic target if their credentials align with the reported medians.

Ohio Northern University offers a lower cost of attendance relative to most ABA-accredited law schools. The full-time non-resident tuition is $33,900 per year, which is below average for ABA-accredited law schools. Living costs off campus are estimated at $22,022 per year. The lower tuition base means that even without scholarship funding, graduates face a more manageable debt burden compared to higher-cost peers. This cost advantage can be especially meaningful for students planning careers in lower-salary public service, government, or public interest law. Applicants should still compare total net cost carefully, accounting for fees and living expenses, when weighing options.

Grant aid at Ohio Northern University reaches only 0% of full-time students, which is below average for ABA-accredited law schools. Applicants should anticipate that most of the cost of attendance will need to be covered through loans, personal savings, or employer assistance programs. While merit scholarships may be available for highly credentialed applicants, the overall grant prevalence suggests that financial aid is not a primary lever for most incoming students at this institution.
