Iowa Law Applications Up 62%

In case you thought you wouldn't have much competition this law school application season, check out Applications Up, Way Up, at Iowa Law at Above the Law.

The University of Iowa College of Law has sent out an email, which states:

We have nearly completed a busy Fall travel schedule. Also, it has been a very successful travel season, as reflected in our total application numbers to date: Applications to The University of Iowa College of Law have increased 62% versus this time last year, and the quality and diversity of those applications has increased significantly, as well. It is still early in the admissions season, so we will see if these positive signs hold up over the long term.

This should serve as a reminder that if you are choosing to apply to law school in this difficult economy, be sure to get those applications in as early as possible; many schools have rolling admissions policies, but even the ones who don't still like to get a certain number of seats filled early.
