Caring for a Cold in College
Bernadette "Bernie" Chimner began teaching in 1999 for a major test prep company. Although she loved her job teaching and tutoring, she found herself unhappy with the company’s stance toward its students and teachers. Her quest for a company with a philosophy more akin to her own would take her through two other large test prep companies before she finally arrived at Griffon Prep. She brought with her an extraordinary reputation as an exceptional instructor and a vast knowledge of both the LSAT and the GRE.
Bernie is extraordinary in her dedication to her students. She spends her time after class and during break answering questions and she goes to lengths to make sure she is in touch with her students between classes as well. As a teacher, she is patient, friendly, and gifted at explaining questions in a simple way.
Bernie’s skillful teaching is backed by an array of exceptional test scores. She obtained a perfect 180 score on the LSAT in June 2005, has a perfect GRE math score of 800, and boasts both a GRE verbal score and a GMAT score in the 99th percentile.
How much does the LSAT weigh in the admission process?
Host: How much does the LSAT weigh in the admission process?
Bernadette Chimner: Most schools are going to weigh the LSAT has almost 50% of your application. Which means it's going to count for more than where you went to school, how well you did in undergrad, where you've worked since then, all your extracurriculars. Certainly, those other factors count, but unlike your undergrad where the SAT was just one little piece, the LSAT test is the one and only large equating factor they have to compare applicants across the board and unfortunately, schools put a lot of emphasis on that LSAT score.
