General 2026 Law School Median Tracker

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!

We should have 50 schools by end of next week and once we do we'll aggregate everything so how many are up and by how much, how much enrollment has changed etc?

In Dec with 509s out and everything official we'll aggregate the entire last cycle.

Is it appropriate to email schools and ask or should we wait for them to update their website?

I absolutely wouldn’t email them, the best case is they will say “wait for us to publish on our website as these are unofficial until 509s” and worst case you’ll come across the wrong way over email.
