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

Hey Steve, thanks for all your uploads as usual. Great content! Question - are your podcasts available on android/Google platforms or just iTunes?

[@UnpluggedPrep]

Hey Avi, Glad to help! They're available on all major podcast platforms (Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, etc.) Just search LSAT Unplugged in your favorite podcast app and you should be able to find them.

Came back to share podcast iTunes link:
LSAT Unplugged on iTunes: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lsat-unplugged/id1450308309?mt=2
It should be on all the other major platforms as well. But let me know if there are any I missed, and I'll see what I can do to get it listed :)
