Description

This package is for applicants who want hands-on help developing their law school personal statement and one supplemental essay, while also making sure the rest of the application fits together coherently. We will start with a conversation about your background, what has led you toward law, what you hope to do with a legal education, and which parts of your experience are actually worth building the application around. The goal is to identify a few strong themes before we start worrying about individual sentences. From there, I will work with you on your personal statement from the early brainstorming stage through to a final draft. We will think carefully about what story you are telling, whether it gives the admissions committee a real sense of who you are, and whether it explains your interest in law without simply repeating your résumé. We will also work through one supplemental essay together. Depending on the school, that might be a statement about your background, perspective, interests, or reasons for applying. We will make sure it answers the prompt directly while also adding something new to the application rather than restating the personal statement. I will also review your CAS application as a whole. That means looking at the way your résumé, experiences, essays, and other application materials fit together and flagging anything that feels inconsistent, repetitive, unclear, or underdeveloped. Throughout the process, you will receive detailed feedback on your drafts, and we will talk through the bigger strategic decisions together. I want you to understand why I am recommending a change rather than simply handing you a heavily edited document. For some background on me, I was admitted to Harvard Law School through its deferred admissions programme and am now completing my doctorate at Oxford. I have also worked professionally in admissions consulting, helping applicants think through both the writing and overall strategy behind highly selective applications. The aim is not to manufacture a version of you that sounds like a “law school applicant.” It is to work out what is genuinely strongest about your background and motivations, and then make sure the application communicates that clearly and convincingly.

This package is for applicants who want hands-on help developing their law school personal statement and one supplemental essay, from the early strategy stage through to a polished final draft. We will start with a conversation about your background, experiences, reasons for pursuing law, and what you want an admissions committee to understand about you by the end of the application. The first step is usually not writing. It is deciding which parts of your story are actually worth building the application around, and which themes will make the strongest case for you. From there, I will work with you on your personal statement from brainstorming and structure through multiple rounds of revision. We will look closely at the story you are telling, whether the essay gives the reader a clear sense of who you are, and whether each section is actually doing useful work. The goal is not simply to produce polished prose, but to make sure the essay leaves the admissions reader with the right impression of you. We will also develop one supplemental essay together. Depending on the school, that might be a statement of perspective, a “Why X” essay, or another optional prompt. We will think strategically about what the supplemental should add to the application rather than simply repeating material that already appears elsewhere. Throughout the process, I will give you detailed edits and comments directly on your drafts, as well as broader feedback on structure, positioning, and content. We will also talk through the reasoning behind the larger changes so that you understand what we are trying to achieve rather than simply accepting edits. I will keep an eye on the application as a whole as well. Your personal statement, supplemental essays, résumé, and broader profile should reinforce one another without all saying exactly the same thing. For some background on me, I studied at Princeton, was admitted to Harvard Law School, and am now completing my doctorate at Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. I have also worked professionally in admissions consulting, helping applicants think through both the strategy and writing behind highly selective applications. My role is not to manufacture a story for you or make the essay sound like something an admissions consultant wrote. It is to help you identify the strongest version of your own case for admission and make sure the writing communicates it clearly, convincingly, and in your own voice.

Harvard Law JDP | Marshall Scholar | Clients at Harvard, Yale & Stanford

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.
