Out of curiosity, what does the number of LSAT takers being down mean for T14 admissions?

I understand there's less people filling the same number of spots, but there's also the chance that the people who chose not to take it in October were likely lower-scoring applicants who got dissuaded.

Any correlation?

What does it mean in general? Thanks!

Crazy, lowest since 2000–2001

This guy seems to take a more optimistic stance on the reduced number of LSAT takers

Awesome, thanks, man! I appreciate the link!

In a previous thread it was revealed that it is in fact the higher scorers who are deciding not to take. In other words, smart people are finding better ways to spend $200K

yeah i read somewhere that the one of ranges that has seen a big, if not the biggest, decrease is those who score 170+

it was somewhere reputable like nytimes, about 6 months ago

Silver medalist right here. Whats with me being referred to as "this guy"!?

But man, that's good news for us all, can't believe so many fewer takers!

Second place is the first loser.

How could/should this affect the application strategy of this cycle's applicants? Aim higher? Way higher?

[one_by_one]

Holy crap! Is there a breakdown by score range available? Any idea if that will be made available? Asking bc there is a graph of it in last years thread, though that may have been added at the end of the year, unclear
