Securing a spot at a top law school could become more difficult this year as more people with high scores on the Law School Admission Test are submitting applications, the ABA Journal reports. Based on data from Law.com, applications are up 20% compared to this point last year and up 16.8% compared to two years ago. Interest among Black and Latino applicants is also up with an increase of 24.2% and 20.1% respectively. The data also shows that LSAT scores are up. Observers suggest this may be up due to the new LSAT Flex test, which is taken from home and is shorter than the traditional test, or the free online LSAT prep being offered by the Law School Admission Council through the Khan Academy.
