As of October 10, 2022, both law school applicant and application numbers are down significantly vs. last cycle, though there's a big asterisk to these numbers, because last year applicants were quite a bit front-loaded due to the huge number of reapplicants. So these decreases will very likely become less pronounced later in the cycle—but still, this bodes well for applicants.
- At this time last cycle, 14% of applications had been submitted
- Applicants are down 13.6% vs. last cycle (2021-2022), and applications are down 19.7%
- Applicants are down in all LSAT bandwidths (see below)
- 53 schools are seeing an increase in their applications so far
- 143 schools are seeing a decrease
- 1 school no change
