In this episode:
0:00 Intro
2:32 Can you give us an overview of the more distinctive elements of the Fordham Law J.D. program?
5:20 Is Fordham’s House System physical houses?
7:21 I did notice that Fordham has a lot of experiential learning opportunities, clinics, extra internships, and externships. Can you touch on that a little bit?
10:55 When is the best time to apply?
13:33 I know that Fordham Law accepts the LSAT and the GRE. Approximately what percentage of the applicant pool is applying with the GRE?
14:39 Are you saying a test is going to be required, or that the LSAT is going to be required?
16:04 Who should take one test, and who should take the other?
18:51 What's your number one tip for the personal statement?
22:14 Is full-time work experience a nice-to-have or really important to the admissions committee at Fordham Law? And do you like to see that experience related to law in some way?
25:55 When should an applicant write an addendum?
29:12 You have an application in front of you from a specific applicant. How do you go through it? How do you evaluate?
30:54 I noticed that Fordham requires that an applicant not have been dismissed from another law school, regardless of the time elapsed since the dismissal. Are there other blemishes on one's record that would be an automatic denial?
34:03 How would somebody who has a blemish on their record show that that blemish doesn't really represent them today?
34:55 Are you concerned at all about applicants using ChatGPT or AI?
36:20 Does Fordham Law consider update letters from applicants who have something significant to tell you after they submit their applications and before hearing back from you?
39:09 What are the most common mistakes that you see law school applicants make during the application process?
42:49 I know you're also an expert in financial aid and financial literacy. If you could give one piece of advice to a law school applicant approaching law school regarding financial aid and financial literacy, or simply good financial planning for the process, what would it be?
47:07 Is there anything you would've liked me to ask you that I haven't asked you?
