Easiest Law Schools to Get Into

The easiest ABA-approved law schools to get into are the ones with the highest acceptance rates and the lowest published LSAT and GPA medians, not lower-quality schools. As of the 2026 cycle, the most accessible ABA law schools include Willamette (61.42%), Gonzaga (51.14%), Campbell (50.68%), Nova Southeastern (47.32%), and Washburn (46.45%), based on the 2025 ABA Standard 509 reports. Your realistic odds still depend on how your own LSAT and GPA compare to each school's medians.

What makes a law school easy to get into?

A law school is easier to get into when it combines a high acceptance rate with LSAT and GPA medians near the lower end of the national range, not when its degree carries less weight. Easier-admit schools are still ABA-accredited, so their graduates can sit for the bar in any state. The label is about numbers and applicant volume, so a school that is easy for a high scorer may still be a target for someone below its medians.

Where does this accessibility data come from?

Acceptance rates and medians in this guide come from each school's ABA Standard 509 Information Report, the standardized annual disclosure every ABA-approved law school must publish. U.S. News draws on the same 509 data for its selectivity figures. Because the numbers reset each cycle, treat any specific figure as current only for the reporting year it names.

How do I choose an accessible law school that is right for me?

Start with your own LSAT and GPA, then keep only the accessible schools where both of your numbers meet or beat the medians and where you would actually want to practice, given cost, location, and bar-passage outcomes. A high acceptance rate is not a reason to attend a school whose employment or bar-passage numbers are weak. Running your numbers through Lovare's free admissions calculator ranks these schools by your real odds.

Frequently asked questions

What are my chances of getting into law school?

Your chances at any law school depend mostly on how your LSAT score and GPA compare to that school's published medians. At the most accessible schools, applicants near or above the medians are admitted at high rates. Even at easy-admit schools, numbers well below the medians can draw a rejection, so compare your figures school by school.

How many law schools should I apply to?

Most applicants apply to roughly 6 to 12 law schools, mixing reach, target, and safety options based on how their LSAT and GPA compare to each school's medians. Including two or three genuine safety schools, where your numbers clear the medians comfortably, protects you against a thin cycle without inflating your fees.

What GPA and LSAT do I need for law school?

There is no universal minimum, but the most accessible ABA law schools post the lowest medians in the country, with median LSATs of about 153 to 156 and median GPAs of about 3.35 to 3.68 among the six most accessible schools, based on the 2025 ABA Standard 509 reports. Meeting or beating a specific school's 25th to 75th percentile figures is what makes you competitive there, so aim at each target school's own medians.
