For those who watched today's LSAC webinar: did you get the impression that the 2021 cycle be more competitive than previous cycles?

For those who couldn't catch it, could you explain what led you to that conclusion? Nervous lol
@ I got the impression that a lot of accepted fall '20 1L's are thinking about deferring because of the likelihood of online programming in the fall. This would push a lot of applicants into the '21 cycle, therefore making it a more competitive cycle. Dean Guzman of USC stated that if there is a larger pool of applicants, schools have the ability to be more selective. More applicants also means less scholarship $$, and if your 1L class is big, this also means a more competitive job market post-graduation. Hope this helps!
Should I be taking prep tests, or at least working timed sections from prep tests, while I learn the core curriculum? Or should I learn all of the core curriculum first, then just begin to take a ton of full, timed prep tests? Looking to take the test in June, so I should have CC done by mid march, giving me almost 3 months to just focus on prep tests and blind review.

I wonder how harder it will be. I guess more people are going to apply law school in order to hide from the recession. It sucks
@ I feel you there. I am a splitter (2.8 gpa and PT'ing in the mid 160's), so I am very worried about my chances of getting in now.
