Law School Applicants with Highest LSAT Scores Increase

According to the latest LSAC Current Volume Summary (2/7/14) applicants to law school are down 11.1% and applications are down 12.2%. This drop in applicants and applications is the smallest drop in both categories at this time of the year in the last four years. However, more interestingly, for many law schools the drop may not be a drop at all.


For the first time in years there is an increase in applicants who scored a 170 or higher on the LSAT (1.7% increase for 170-174 and 5.6% increase for 175-180). 


Conversely, the largest decrease in applicants is occurring with applicants who score a 144 or lower on the LSAT (15.7% decrease for 140-144 and 20.3% decrease for those scoring less than 140).


If these trends continue, law school applicants may continue to drop overall; however, the decrease will be anchored by lower "quality" applicants while higher "quality" applicants begin to return  to law school.


For many law schools this shift is a welcome sign that the law school recession may be slowly coming to an end as more "qualified" applicants begin to return to legal education while those who are less likely to be admitted begin to opt out of applying to law school.
