About

I got into Harvard Law School two years early through the Junior Deferral Program. Since then, I have coached 60+ applicants across college, law, and policy-school admissions, including international applicants, on school selection, essays, and overall application strategy. I studied public policy and international affairs at Princeton and am now a Marshall Scholar and DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford. My own path has not been linear, and I understand how difficult it can be to turn a broad set of interests, experiences, and ambitions into an application that makes sense on the page. The strongest applications make a clear case for one person: the personal statement, résumé, recommendations, and supplemental essays should all point in the same direction. I help clients decide which experiences matter, what those experiences reveal about them, and how to present that story with precision. I work especially well with T20 applicants whose numbers do not tell the full story; Junior Deferral, KJD, 3+3, and other early-admission candidates; international and UK-based applicants to US law schools; and applicants with experiences that do not fit neatly into a conventional narrative. We can work on school-list strategy, personal statements, “Why X” and optional essays, résumés, recommendation strategy, waitlist decisions, and scholarship negotiation.

Hamid has helped clients get into these schools:

I got into Harvard Law two years early, through the Junior Deferral Program, one of the most selective and least understood routes into a T14. Since then I have coached 60+ applicants at Write Track Admissions, including a client admitted to Harvard, Yale and Stanford in the same cycle. I won't hand you a template. Most applications fail because the essays, resume and recommendations each argue for a slightly different person. My job is to find the single argument your application should be making, and then make every document carry it. Where I'm most useful: - Applicants aiming T14 whose numbers alone won't carry them - Junior Deferral and early-admission candidates (JDP, KJD, 3+3) - International and UK-based applicants to US law schools - Anyone whose story is genuinely unusual and hard to compress What we work on: school list and strategy, the personal statement from first idea to final draft, "Why X" and optional essays, addenda, resume, briefing your recommenders, waitlist strategy, and scholarship negotiation. Background: DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar; Princeton University, School of Public and International Affairs; JD at Harvard Law School via the Junior Deferral Program. Book a free intro call and bring whatever you have, even if that is nothing yet. I will tell you honestly where you stand and what the next 30 days should look like.
