LSAT Course Selection: Size Matters
If you’ve taken a Manhattan LSAT course, you know that we keep our classes small (or at least you know that your class was small). We cap in-person classes at 18 students and live online classes at 25 (where there are two teachers for the class) because, as research increasingly shows, students learn better when they are engaged. Engagement is hard (and often impossible) in a lecture of 75 or 100 people.
Manhattan Prep Giving Back
It’s been a very busy 2013 here at Manhattan Prep! We’ve already worked with over a dozen non-profit organizations this year, supporting their programming and initiatives through in-kind donations, discount programs, and much more. We love to find new ways to team up with these organizations, connecting with pre-MBAs from all over the country who are striving to make a difference.
Below are some highlights from our giving so far this year. We encourage you to check out these organizations to see what awesome things they’ve been up to!
