What the state data shows
Notre Dame reports the highest LSAT median in the state at 170, with a 3.89 GPA median and a 16.1% acceptance rate on 3,579 applications. The spread of 15 LSAT points between the top and bottom of the state means a single score can be a stretch at one Indiana school and comfortably above median at another. The national median of school medians is 159, so Indiana's strongest reported median sits 11 points above it.
1 of the 3 schools charge residents less than non-residents, so residency status is worth checking before you apply. The lowest published resident tuition belongs to Indiana University Maurer at $36,950 a year, where the median full-time grant is $33,000. Across the state, published non-resident tuition runs from $58,000 to $73,430, a gap of $15,430 a year before fees, living costs or scholarship.
2 of the 3 schools reporting bar outcomes beat the weighted average pass rate in the jurisdictions where their graduates sat. Notre Dame reports the state's highest first-time pass rate at 92.15% from 191 first-time takers, against a 79.83% jurisdiction average. Bar admission is granted state by state, so the jurisdiction you intend to practise in matters as much as the school.
