Enter your LSAT and GPA to see where you stand against Barry University's admitted class and the grant range it actually publishes.

Barry University reports a median grant of $16,000 per year for students receiving financial aid, and 79% of its students receive aid, with 1% of aid recipients covering full tuition or more. The median award covers about 38% of annual tuition, so the school still costs roughly $26,000 per year in tuition after aid.

What three years would actually cost you

At Barry University, three years of tuition, housing and fees cost $225,474 before aid. A grant of $6,500 to $22,000 a year would leave you paying between $159,474 and $205,974 over three years. The lower figure assumes the larger award applies every year, so treat it as a floor rather than a bill.

The net figure applies this school's median award to every year and every student, so it is a floor rather than a bill — it excludes students who receive nothing, tuition increases, and living costs beyond what this school publishes. See the full cost breakdown →

Is this school worth your score?

Barry University sits in the 2nd percentile of law schools by median LSAT but the 24th percentile by median grant, so it gives more aid than its selectivity suggests. Among the 164 schools with both figures reported, that is a gap of 22 percentile points.

Selectivity and generosity are two different things. A school can sit high on one and low on the other — and that gap is the part worth knowing before you decide where to apply.

The comparison set is the 164 schools that report an annual tuition figure and a median grant. Schools reporting tuition per credit hour are excluded because there is no annual aid figure to line up against. Percentiles are rank positions, not estimates.

Conditional scholarships at Barry University

Barry University gave conditional scholarships to 253 students in 2024, and 42% kept the award after review — 148 students had it reduced.

Conditional scholarships are awarded on need but have to be re-earned every year. If you drop below the GPA threshold, the award can be cut — this is the school's own reported figure, not an estimate. See the retention data for every school →

Is Barry University keeping more conditional scholarships?

Between 2022 and 2024, Barry University has been keeping fewer of them: the share of conditional scholars who kept their award moved from 43.9% to 41.5%, with 253 students entering with a conditional award in 2024. That path was not straight: it stood at 41.0% in 2023.

Is Barry University getting more competitive?

Applications to Barry University rose from 1,452 for the 2015 entering class to 1,582 for 2025, while the class enrolled 257 students — so there were 6.2 applicants per place, against 5.2 in 2015. Between 2021 and 2025 that figure moved from 3.8 to 6.2, and competition for each place has tightened.

Applicants per place is applications divided by the number who actually enrolled. It moves with how selective the school is, not with how many offers it sends — a school can issue more offers without becoming harder to get into. The summary above judges the direction over the three most recent entering classes, not across the whole span: a single unusual year in the middle of eleven is not a trend.

How Barry University compares to schools at the same level

These are the schools with the closest median LSAT to Barry University's. The table sorts by median grant, because that is usually what the comparison turns on once the academic profile is close enough — and the three-year net cost column shows what each of those grants actually leaves you paying.

Applicants per place is applications divided by students who enrolled. The competition column compares the most recent three entering classes rather than the full span, because a single year in the middle of that span is not a trend. Conditional retention is the share of students who kept a need-based conditional scholarship after year one review.

Barry University is in . It admits 55.9% of applicants, and 79% of its students receive financial aid.
