Following up on yesterday's post, 9% Of The Way Through The Fall 2022 Law School Admissions Cycle: Applicants Are Up 11.5%, With Biggest Increase (21.6%) Among The 150-159 LSAT Band:  Mike Spivey, First Look. 2021-2022 Application Cycle Volume as of October 1st:

The increase in total applicants seems to be driven by those scoring in the 150-164 score bands, which are up 26.4% over last cycle. We're also seeing applicants in the lowest scoring bands make up a smaller portion of the applicant pool than they have historically, which is great news.

… I think we can say that we're not going back to pre-COVID applicant numbers or patterns just yet. These numbers represent strong demand among law school applicants. We also have pretty similar LSAT registrant volume to last year so far. …   High scoring applicants, while not up nearly as dramatically as last year, are up a little bit, and LSAT score averages are still above pre-COVID norms.
