Projections For Fall 2021 Law School Applicants: +28% (+53% In 160-180 LSAT Band)

Following up on my previous post, The Booming Fall 2021 Law School Admissions Season: Applicants Are Up Over 35%, With Biggest Increases Among The Highest LSAT Bands And Applicants Of Color:  Mike Spivey (Spivey Consulting), 2020-2021 LSAT Score Volume Projections as of 11/9:

We’re a couple months into the 2020-2021 application cycle, and so far our increase in applicants hasn’t slowed down. If anything, it’s sped up. In this post, we will look at past data on specific LSAT score bands' volume throughout the cycle, then project what final LSAT score volume may look like this cycle. ...

None of these projections should be taken as gospel. They are informative only, and only informative insofar as we mirror the prior two cycles relatively closely. We will re-run the numbers on 12/1.

Here are the increases in the three LSAT bands:

LSAT Band	Projected 2021 Increase
160-180	52.9%
150-159	22.5%
120-149	8.0%
