It was a BAD week for Midwest law schools, after a study using data from LSAC showed that Midwestern states lead the way in terms of the drop in LSAT administrations. Minnesota leads the way with a 45.7 percent drop from 2010 to 2014. Two Minnesota law schools, Hamline University and William Mitchell College of Law are in the process of merging. Wisconsin was not too far behind with a 44.9 percent drop. Other states near the top include Ohio, Michigan, Iowa and Missouri. 

Outside of the Midwest, New Hampshire and Vermont were third and fourth on the list. Utah was No. 7.
