Like most US law schools, Loyola implements a value curve. The Loyola curve has an average GPA of 3.0. The class curve prevents many students from transferring to higher ranked law schools. In addition, the curve makes Loyola's top students more attractive to legal employers less likely to employ lower-ranked law graduates. The curve puts many students at a disadvantage, since legitimate entrepreneurs will usually only consider recruiting graduates with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

Jobs
According to the ABA 2016 official disclosure required by Loyola, 62.2% of Class 2016 gets a "bar passage required" job within ten months of graduation. The position of "bar passage required" is defined as a position that requires graduates to pass the exam and is licensed to practice law in one or more jurisdictions. Positions that have such requirements vary and include, for example, positions in law firms, businesses, or governments. However, not all positions in law firms, businesses, or governments require a bar section; for example, a paralegal position is not. Positions requiring graduates to pass the exam and are licensed after starting work to maintain a position fall into this category. The AGO is also included in this category.
An additional 20.5% of Class 2016 obtains a "J.D. advantaged" job within ten months of graduation. The position of "JD benefited" is the position where the employer is looking for an individual with JD, and may even require JD, or that JD provides a provable gain in obtaining or performing work but who does not require cross bar or active legal license or involving legal practice. Example position where J.D. are benefits including corporate contract administrators, alternative dispute resolution specialists, government regulatory analysts, FBI agents, and accountants. Also included may be employment in personnel or human resources, employment with investment banks, employment with consulting firms, occupations conducting compliance work in business and industry, employment in professional law firms development, and employment in legal career law office services, admissions offices, or other law school administration office. Doctors or nurses planning to work in litigation, insurance, or risk management arrangements, or as expert witnesses, will fall into this category, as well as journalists and teachers (in higher education settings) of legal and legal topics. This is an indicator that a position does not fall into this category if J.D is not common among people who hold such a position.
Bar Passage

Loyola is listed as a law school that previously provided inaccurate consumer information. When the ABA required law schools to publish accurate graduate employment statistics, applications to law schools dropped dramatically. In response, law schools lower acceptance standards to maintain class size without considering the consequences at the bar section level. Since 2011, applications for law schools, including Loyola, have fallen by more than 50%. Loyola responded by lowering the standard of acceptance. In 2011, Loyola recognized the grade with a 25/75th percentile GPA of 3.13/3.57 and the 25th/70th LSAT of 156/162. By 2016, the Loyola entry class has a 25/75th percentile GPA of 3.02/3.54 and the 25th/70th LSAT of 154/160. The decline in revenue standards to maintain registration has led to a decrease in cross bar rates across the country.
