A REAL RECOVERY, OR A DEAD-CAT BOUNCE? Number of LSAT Test-Takers Increases 7.4%, The Fourth Consecutive (And Biggest) Increase.

The catch is that someone has to pay for those scholarships, and that might also be people who borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars believing now is the best time ever to go to law school. … On the other hand, interest in medical school is at an all-time high. We certainly need doctors more than we need JDs.”
