The University of Texas School of Law offers academic excellence, affordability, and robust support to its students. In this podcast interview, UT's Dean of Admissions, Mathiew Le, discusses the distinctive qualities of the UT Austin Law JD program. He highlights the vibrant city of Austin, the healthy and robust Texas legal market, and the focus on building a strong community at UT Law. Le also discusses the Society Program, which helps students navigate the law school experience in a fun and social way, and the Mentorship Program, which provides students with guidance and support throughout their time at UT Law. Le advises applicants to submit their applications early, but only if they have a strong application. He also discusses the acceptance of both the LSAT and GRE, and the importance of tailoring applications to specific law schools. Le emphasizes the importance of leadership, community engagement, and enriching the learning environment in the admissions process. He also advises against trying to be overly creative in personal statements and highlights the availability of financial aid and scholarships at UT Law. Show Notes Located in the heart of vibrant Austin, Texas Law offers its students academic excellence, affordability, and robust support, plus professional opportunities upon graduation. And today, we're speaking with its Dean of Admissions. Thanks for joining me for this, the 546 episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Are you applying to law school this cycle? Are you planning ahead to apply to law school next year or later? Are you competitive at your target programs? Accepted's law school admissions quiz can give you a quick reality check. You'll not only get an assessment, but you'll also get tips on how to improve your chances of acceptance. Plus, it's all free. Now, for today's interview, I'm delighted to have on Admissions Straight Talk, Mathiew Le, Assistant Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Texas School of Law. A native of Texas, Dean Le earned his bachelor's from the University of Texas at Austin and his JD from Ohio State University, Moritz College of Law. Prior to joining UT Law, Dean Le was the Assistant Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Washington School of Law for almost a decade. He has held numerous national service and leadership positions, including serving as a member of LSACs board of trustees. Dean Le firmly believes in the value of a public education and has a deep commitment to providing access for education to underrepresented groups and helped co-found the National Asian Pacific American Pre-Law conference, now associated with the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association Annual Convention. Dean Le, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [2:10] Thank you so much, Linda. It's really a pleasure to be here. Thanks for having me. I'm delighted to speak with you today. All right, let's start with a very basic question. Can you give an overview of the more distinctive qualities or elements of the UT Austin Law JD program? [2:16] Sure. Absolutely. Well, one of the things that I always like to start off telling students that makes UT special really comes from a place of three colors. The first of which is the City of Austin. Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the country, and continues to be a city that is grounded in a vibrant music and entertainment culture. Many people know that there's been an infusion of major tech companies like Amazon, Google, Oracle, and Tesla, combined with cultural offerings here. It's just a wonderful pit stop for many students who will come to law school for three years here in Austin and then decide to go elsewhere. A little bit about the Texas legal market in general is that it's very healthy, it's very robust. In the state of Texas, we have several major markets, Houston of course, Dallas, and then San Antonio as well.

IRAC stands for Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion and it is the ideal framework for thinking about legal issues, writing legal memorandum, and most important to law students, Some key takeaways are: 1. The A in IRAC gets the most points on an exam2. When answering an exam, always explain the “why.” Why does this fact matter to proving your point?3.
