How to Find the Right School

What makes a law school the right one for you? Is it the location, the type of law you want to practice, its size?

There are many variables to consider when choosing a law school. To be confident you’re selecting the school that best suits your needs and goals, it’s important to thoroughly research the schools that interest you. Your research should include:

  • Tuition and other costs
  • Average LSAT score and GPA of students who have been accepted
  • Acceptance rates
  • Employment outcomes and career support

You should also determine the factors that matter most to you personally. Learn more about how to evaluate law schools here.

The in-depth data available through LSAC LawHub®’s Law School Wizard will provide you with personalized information on employment outcomes, student-debt projections, and more, to help inform your law school strategy. To get more familiar with each law school’s offerings, programs, and student environment, we recommend you review the information available in LSAC’s official guides too. This information is provided directly by the law schools. Links to detailed acceptance data and individual law school websites are also available through the official guides.

Your school choice ultimately affects your career, so it’s important to determine the best fit for your goals.
