Episode Synopsis
This week, Linda Abraham welcomes Dean Shane Cooper, Senior Associate Dean for Admissions, Financial Aid and Student Services at Cornell School of Law. Dean Cooper shares insights into the admissions process at Cornell Law School, emphasizing the mutual goal of finding the right fit between the school and the applicant. We discuss the benefits of small class sizes, close faculty interaction, and strong international programs. Despite its Ithaca location, the school offers abundant opportunities for experiential learning. Dean Cooper explains that Cornell accepts LSAT, GRE, or GMAT scores without preference, with financial aid linked to the strength of these scores. He highlights the importance of diverse experiences and well-rounded characters in applicants, and we explore how interviews, re-applicant growth, and the Why Cornell essay play significant roles in the admissions process. Dean Cooper underscores Cornell Law’s commitment to opening doors for students and making a positive impact on the legal community.Mentioned in today's episode:Cornell Law School JD ProgramAre You Ready for Law School?, Accepted's Free Law School Admissions Quiz Related Admissions Straight Talk episodes:How to Get Into George Washington School of Law How to Get into Washington University in St. Louis School of LawHow to Get into USC Gould School of LawJD-Next: A Great Option for Law School ApplicantsHow to Get into the University of Chicago Law SchoolFollow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact [email protected]+1 (310) 815-9553
