Are you still very debt averse?

Then I think the correct answer is still get WE and reapply. You are a candidate for full scholarships, or nearly, at many schools in the T14. You could be leaving over 75k on the table if you took the current Duke offer. Just my 2 cents, but we have the same LSAT, and my GPA was a full .2 lower than you, and I got more than 90k at Duke. You need some leverage, and that means reapplying.

Will the next cycle be super competitive?
What are people's feelings on this. If anything I would have thought the numbers would continue to decline, just at a slower rate.

Last year, there was such a substantial national decline, and a lot of law school deans said, “It’s got to be the bottom of the market, right?” People assume there has to be an uptick, because there’ll be a recovery and students will see an opportunity to get into better schools. But then a year goes by and there’s an additional decline. I will say this: The preliminary data I’ve seen on the students who have taken the LSAT this year suggests that we’re not seeing a big recovery—let’s put it that way.
