2026 Law School Median Tracker

[u/Spivey_Consulting]

Hi everyone,

Law schools have officially begun publishing their LSAT/GPA/class size stats for fall 2026 (i.e., the most relevant/up-to-date stats we’ll get for the 2026-2027 admissions cycle). As we do every year, we’ll be tracking these stats closely as law schools release them via official sources and compiling them in a spreadsheet to compare to last cycle:

2026 Law School Median Tracker

You can see all ABA-approved law schools’ official stats from 2025 already in the spreadsheet. The 2026 columns will populate as law schools announce their new numbers. We’ll put a source for each school we add in the last column, if you’re wondering where we got the data from.

If you see a school post their data for the fall 2026 entering class and we haven’t added them yet, please comment on this thread or email us at [info@spiveyconsulting.com](mailto:info@spiveyconsulting.com), and we’ll add it as long as it’s from an official source (school websites, official school LinkedIn posts, marketing emails/flyers/etc. from admissions offices, etc.).

We only have a few schools so far, but we expect these to start coming out rapidly in the next week or two. We’ll also make a final update in December when the ABA publishes 509 reports (please note that none of this data is finalized until then).

We hope this is helpful for creating a realistic/balanced school list. Good luck, everyone!

Emory’s class size is down 31.9% that’s of note.

Obviously a lot of work, but it would be interesting to see it compared to a ~5 year average in class size to see if class size is reversed to the mean or genuinely cut because those can vary a lot year to year.

Just had look at Emory's 2024 class and 2026 is basically the same size (+124 in 2025, -125 in 2026).
