Hello all!
I am applying during Fall of 2021 hoping to attend a law school in the Fall of 2022. I just took the April LSAT Flex, hoping to give myself ample time to retake it this summer.

I was wondering if anyone has any predictions about whether or not the law school admissions cycle will return to normal, stay as competitive as 20-21, or get even more competitive? I think some relevant factors could be- 1) the introduction and dissemination of the vaccine 2) higher(?) deferral rates? 3) the difficulty of this cycle.

What do others think? I'm not sure what to make of everything at this point, does anyone have suspicions one way or another?

Hi mpalakur!

Thanks for the post, and great question! Dave and Jon have discussed the next cycle several times in their podcast, most recently (and probably with the greatest depth) in episode 81: https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/podcast/81/ starting around the 1:08:53 mark. To summarize, they mention that next year will return toward "normal," but it will still be tougher than the 19-20 cycle.

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you so much Stephanie!

I will check out that episode, and hopefully as the application season kicks off we'll get a clear picture of what's to come!
