This is a first ever, and we are grateful to LSAC for sharing this data with us.
Hi everyone, we're back with another data update. February is over, and it's been an interesting month for applicant and application volume. At this point last cycle, we had about 75% of our final applicant volume.
Going forward we'll resume posting these after the 1st of each new month, but we'll be a bit too busy watching the Super Bowl to write this up on Sunday, so you get it now!
LSAC has published the final counts for the November 2019 LSAT.
Happy New Year everyone! This marks the start of the "2020" part in the "2019-2020" application cycle.
One of the most important factors when deciding where to attend law school is your scholarship. What does it mean if that scholarship is conditional?
November 2019 LSAT scores are being released today. Congratulations to all those who took that test!
The ABA has released the 2019 509 reports, so it's time for us to dive in and see what kind of information and trends can be gleaned from the data.
The link to all of the entering class data for every ABA-approved law school from the official 509 reports is here.
In this episode of Status Check with Spivey, Mike gives an update on 2022-2023 cycle data and discusses admissions strategies for the second half of the application cycle: waitlists and letters of continued interest, tips for asking for scholarship reconsideration, and handling the waiting/anxiety. (It may surprise you how impactful that last item can be to your outcomes!)
