A note on honesty: 2% of employed graduates are in positions the school itself funded — excluded from the full-time-lawyer figure above.

University of Missouri is an ABA-accredited law school. It admits about 42% of applicants, making it selective. The median enrolled student scored 161 on the LSAT with a 3.72 GPA.

Medians describe the class, not your odds. A number below the median isn't a rejection and one above isn't a guarantee — splitters get in both directions. The tool below places your actual LSAT and GPA inside University of Missouri's band.
