It seems law schools have finally noticed the gigantic bubble engulfing their industry. They're cutting class size.
Kaplan surveyed 123 admissions officers at ABA-accredited schools and found 51 percent have cut the size of the entering class.
Not surprisingly, 63 percent said they were cutting back on their student bodies because there are just fewer jobs out there.
For those who actually get accepted, paying for law school might be easier because 47 percent of the schools surveyed had increased financial aid this year.
Fewer seats and more financial help will help prospective law students who really stand out, said Jeff Thomas, director of pre-law programs at Kaplan, in a press release.
"Now more than ever, being a highly competitive applicant may earn you great rewards," Thomas said.
