The LSAC is reporting that "As of 03/18/16, there are 299,758 applications submitted by 46,008 applicants for the 2016–2017 academic year. Applicants are up 1.0% and applications are up 1.4% from 2015–2016. Last year at this time, we had 82% of the preliminary final applicant count." Based on this preliminary data, one would predict that there will be around 56,107 applicants for 2016-17.

Used Cars, a great film. Moving Iron. The Slasher is a great film too.
So the number of applicants seems to be leveling off at about the same value as last year's.
I might just point out that the law-school emails -exhorting me to apply- are still coming.
As I mentioned in a previous post in this series, what is surprising is not that I am receiving these emails but that I am receiving them despite having no LSAT score on file with the CAS. The final LSAT administration for this cycle is past – where am I going to dig up an LSAT score?
Is there a 'site possibly on the deep web that "sells" LSAT scores (I'm being silly here, so don't take this seriously):
Me: "Hi, I'd like a nice 180 LSAT score please."
'Site: "Very good sir. Would you like that gift wrapped?"
Me: "No, thank you. I'll wear it out … to my first class at Yale Law."
J.R., still time to take the June test! Maybe too late for Yale, but I'm sure a school like Georgetown and down will consider a top notch candidate like yourself.
Sales.
