You shouldn't have to drop below T10, and one or more of MVP should offer you a good chunk of change. With the drop in test takers 174s are rare, and 174 AAs are rarer.

I may be wrong but I'm not so sure that admissions to top school has really gotten easier if that's what you're implying here. Maybe they let more people off the waitlist after I bowed out but I don't think I outperformed my stats. At least not significantly.

There are like 33% less 170+ applicants now than there were 2-3 years ago, and if LSAT test taker numbers keep falling the only logical result is that admissions becomes marginally less competitive (Or schools reduce class sizes, which is plausible but a pretty expensive solution). At least this year it didn't seem to hit HYS obviously, but there has been more T6 WL movement, and more lower T14 small scholarship to splitters than last year. At the very least this should continue into next year, but there is also valid reason to believe that the trend will go further.

High LSAT URMs are an anomaly though so it's kind of a crapshoot predicting it. I was just going on the few URM LSN profiles I've looked at.
