We've seen law school application number plummet in the past few years. How do you see the application number will look in the future? How will this affect our applications in the future cycle? :)

Schools decrease class sizes to keep their medians up.

I think enough rats will have fled the sinking ship that your chances of getting on board will be improved.

I'd guess another 8-10% decline this year based entirely on the June LSAT statistics.

Note: applications are dropping because people understand that law is a high risk profession.

I've done a little more research and it seems the more recent cycles actually are easier.
