Together, we discussed 2019 LSAT changes, trends with the LSAT being offered more frequently, the Digital LSAT, and the LSAT v GRE. We also covered law school personal statements, addenda, and diversity statements. (Christina works at InGenius Prep. Email grace.kennedy@ingeniusprep.com to find out more about working with Christina.) *** 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 *** If you like these kinds of discussions, I've done several more on the LSAT Unplugged Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/lsat-unplugged/id1450308309 Also check out a big playlist of them here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgOHAiSs08EZdFUmSJ5Kg81zWHocombvI LSAT Blog: http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/ Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/LSATBlog/?sub_confirmation=1 ***
