| Dean of Admissions Heads to Hollywood to Pursue Acting Dream |
1 - 2 |
During his tenure, Meeker has personally read more than
20,000 applications. The number of applications reached an alltime
high in 2005, and acceptance rates fell from 28 percent in
2000 to 12.5 percent this year. As a result, students are entering
with average LSAT scores (170) and GPAs (3.7) that are the
highest in school history.
Meeker said he has dreamed of being an actor since he was
a child. “Working as the dean of admissions at Penn Law has
been one of the most rewarding, challenging, and enjoyable experiences
of my life,” he said. “Unfortunately, one cannot be a
full-time dean of admissions and a part-time actor. If I am to
ever fully pursue acting, it must be now.”
