Law School Application Volume Declines Slightly

The National Law Journal reports that applications  at the nation's top law schools declined  2%  this year from last year.  Applications had  been steadily climbing in recent years.

More interesting to me than the overall slight decline is the wide disparity among schools:

Declines:

  • UCLA: -13%
  • UT: -11%
  • Vanderbilt: -9%
  • Cornell: -8%
  • USC: -8%

Increases:

  • University of Minnesota: +22%
  • University of Pennsylvania: +21%
  • Duke:  +9%
  • University of Michigan: +4.5%
  • GWU: +3.5%

The article also reports on trends in minority enrollment.
