Former NYU Law Admissions Dean + Steve Schwartz on Law School Admissions

Discussion with former NYU Law School Admissions Dean Christina Chong (inGenius Prep) and Steve Schwartz on Law School Admissions, covering 2019 LSAT changes, LSAT addenda, and more.

0:17 law school application advice

4:51 law school diversity statement

6:38 law school addenda

12:09 2019 LSAT changes

13:37 lsat frequency, applying late in the cycle

15:42 negotiating law school scholarships

17:59 LSAT vs GRE

20:38 law school rankings lsat vs gre

24:45 law school application advice

***

Some takeaways:

* keep addenda short and sweet, not 7 pages, ~200 words for a low LSAT score

* feel free to write an addendum whenever you like, even if it's just because the digital LSAT doesn't go well for you

* don't repeat yourself in your application

* lots of ambiguity about the future role of GRE, but doesn't seem as compelling as applying with LSAT

* a school as popular as NYU doesn't necessarily obsess over rankings the way others might
