About Hamid

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.
