HARVARD LAW Dean Josh Rubenstein interview == taking ?'s! Forum

[HITeacher2]

How does your attitude towards admissions differ from your predecessor (Toby Stock)?

What changes have you made to HLS admissions since you've taken over as Dean?

[PrayingforHYS]

What advice do you have for high GPA/low (relative to HLS standards) LSAT scores???

+1 on asking if GPA is a bigger factor to him than it was to Toby Stock (would prefer a yes/no answer rather than "well, we look at all applicants individually..." etc)

Also, how about asking him about what % of students who get a phone interview get accepted, and what is his general range for sending out phone interviews (does it start as early, say, october 1, or is more like mid/late oct? -- does it go as late as january?)

are candidates actually given a fair chance or are they automatically dismissed based on numbers? Every time we have a speaker at our school, they state they will look at each applicant and consider everything not just the scores.

I must say I think my file was opened, one look at LSAT, and move on - I feel that somehow I could have written and done anything and everything and it would not have mattered. (this is me just being disappointed I guess).

So what happened to this one?

[LLB2JD]

I was actually wondering the same thing a few days ago

JR is quite a busy man -- we should have his responses posted by the end of the month!
