Emory Law publishes the broadest grant reach in our verified set outside a handful of outliers, at 98 percent of students, which changes what a 30.1 percent acceptance rate means for cost. Verified July 2026.
The gap between offers and enrolment is where yield lives. Verified July 2026.
An acceptance rate is a ratio over a self-selected pool rather than a difficulty score, so read it beside the bands below rather than instead of them.
Emory Law publishes an LSAT band of 162 at the 25th percentile, 166 at the median and 168 at the 75th, all from its own 2025 509 report. That is a spread of 6 points across the middle half of the admitted class, which is the range your own score has to land inside. Verified July 2026.
Emory Law's 6-point LSAT spread from 162 to 168 sits above every school in the Atlanta market in our verified set, and Emory is the only Atlanta school our spine holds. retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
A median means about half the admitted class scored below it, from Emory Law's own 509 (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026, so a score at the median is a live application rather than a marginal one. Verified July 2026.
LSAC publishes a standard error of measurement of about 2.6 scaled points (https://www.lsac.org/lsat-interpretive-guide/2019-2020), retrieved July 31, 2026, so treat your own score as a band against Emory Law's band. Verified July 2026.
Emory Law publishes a GPA band of 3.68 at the 25th percentile, 3.82 at the median and 3.87 at the 75th, from the same 509 report. That is a spread of 0.19 points; Set that beside the 6-point LSAT spread, our arithmetic on Emory Law's own published quartiles, retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
A wide GPA range next to a narrow LSAT range is the signature of a school that will take a lower GPA when the test score carries the file.
That is an inference from quartiles rather than a statement about how Emory Law's committee behaves, and no 509 publishes the latter at any school. Verified July 2026.
Emory Law publishes a median grant of $36,000 reaching 98% of its students, from its own 509 report. No 509 publishes grant size by LSAT or GPA band at any school, so nobody can tell you your own award. Verified July 2026.
Grant reach matters more than median size to a below-median applicant, because reach is how likely you are to receive anything at all (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
Emory Law publishes tuition of $69,510 plus $962 fees and a total cost of attendance of $109,462 (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
After July 1, 2026 the residual is what matters, because federal borrowing for professional students is capped at $50,000 a year and Grad PLUS is phased out for new borrowers, per Harvard's summary of the statutory changes (https://sfs.harvard.edu/changes-federal-student-loans), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
Emory Law is a target for anyone inside its published band and a reach below the 25th percentile, and no published source can be more precise than that about an individual file. Place your own numbers against 162 to 168 on the LSAT and 3.68 to 3.87 on GPA, from Emory Law's own 509, retrieved July 31. Verified July 2026.
Place your own numbers against 162 to 168 on the LSAT and 3.68 to 3.87 on GPA, from Emory Law's own 509 (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
Above both medians you are the candidate Emory Law would pay for, and its published grant reach of 98% is the evidence for that (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
Below the 25th on both, the application needs something the index cannot see, and no 509 publishes what that is at any school.
Emory Law published 91.5% employment at the ten-month date for a class of 224 graduates, from its own ABA reporting. Emory Law's market breakdown, large-firm share and federal clerkship share are each recorded as not pulled in LOVARE_SCHOOL_DATA_SHEET.xlsx, so this page publishes none of the three. Verified July 2026.
retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
The employment figure covers all employment types rather than large-firm work alone, which is why it sits well above any single-sector share at every school.
Ten months is an early snapshot of a job held on one day. It is the standard because it is comparable across schools, not because it is complete.
Emory Law is not one of the 31 schools in our master Admissions Playbook, so this page carries no committee texture for it and says so rather than inventing any. Everything below is a published figure or an inference we label. Verified July 2026.
The Playbook covers 31 schools and holds essay posture, interview behaviour, yield protection and scholarship posture for those. Emory Law is outside it, retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
That absence is worth stating plainly, because the thing applicants most want about Emory Law is exactly the thing nobody has published. Verified July 2026.
What we do hold for Emory Law is its own 509 report, and every number on this page comes from there rather than from anyone's impression. Verified July 2026.
5 fields this page would otherwise use: the large-firm share, the federal clerkship share, the market breakdown, a personal statement prompt and limit. Each is recorded as not pulled in our data sheet rather than estimated, and this page publishes none of them. Verified July 2026.
Every one of those is a real absence rather than a zero, retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
Naming the gap is the only honest option available. The alternative is filling it from a prep site, which is how a wrong figure enters a corpus and never leaves.
Where Emory Law publishes any of these later, they belong in the sheet first and on this page second. Verified July 2026.
Place your own LSAT and GPA against Emory Law's published quartiles, then place your likely award against its published grant reach. Those two comparisons decide far more than the acceptance rate does; Then read the school's own pages for the things no 509 publishes. Verified July 2026.
The acceptance rate of 30.1% describes Emory Law's applicant pool rather than your odds (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
The grant reach of 98% tells you whether Emory Law spends broadly or narrowly, and broad reach is worth more to a below-median applicant than a large median reaching few (https://law.emory.edu/_includes/documents/sections/aba-required-disclosures/std-509-info-report-2025.pdf), retrieved July 31, 2026. Verified July 2026.
That is where the remaining decision actually lives.
Every figure on this Emory Law admissions page carries a Verified July 2026 stamp because a dated stamp is the only honest way to publish a number that moves. Each source below was retrieved in July 2026 and is linked in full rather than named vaguely, so nothing here is modelled, averaged or inferred.

The acceptance rate is the least useful number on this page. Your own score against Emory Law's published quartiles is the one that decides anything. The Lovare Diagnostic takes about fifteen minutes and returns your own numbers against published school data rather than a single probability, and it is free.
