About

Hi! I am Allie, and I am an incoming JD candidate at Harvard Law School. I applied to 13 T-14 schools and was admitted to 7 of them! I also was admitted to Columbia's deferred MBA program. I graduated magna cum laude from Cornell University (4.19 GPA) and spent nearly three years in New York as a Public Finance Investment Banking Analyst at J.P. Morgan. Having successfully navigated both top-tier law school and deferred business school admissions, I specialize in helping applicants translate high-rigor, non-traditional, or finance backgrounds into compelling, human stories that stand out in elite applicant pools. Whether you need to craft a standout personal statement, reposition your professional experience for public interest or corporate law, or write a game-changing Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI) to convert a waitlist into an offer, I bring strategic clarity, rapid asynchronous feedback, and insider perspective to every step of your application.

Allie also coaches for MBA, GMAT, College, and ACT. View all.

Allie’s Law School Qualifications

Allie has helped clients get into these schools:

Navigating the elite admissions landscape isn’t just about having a perfect transcript; it’s about narrative strategy and the 'Triple Threat' edge. My academic foundation is equally rigorous: I graduated from Cornell University with a 4.19 GPA and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa as a junior. I don't just 'edit' essays; I help you architect a profile that stands out in a sea of high stats. I have mastered the art of the scholarship-winning narrative, securing hundreds of thousands of dollars in merit aid across the country’s top programs. I bring fresh, real-time insights from the current admissions cycle. I know exactly what it takes to get the 'Yes' from both Law admissions committees, and I am dedicated to helping you translate your unique experiences into an irresistible application.

Hunter Rawlings Presidential Research Scholar

Cornell University

July 2021 - Present

The Hunter R. Rawlings III Cornell Presidential Research Scholars program selects highly motivated students and provides them with the opportunity to conduct financially supported, faculty-mentored research throughout their undergraduate years. Students are encouraged to pursue their intellectual interests through research in any area of study including the Humanities, Physical and Biological Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Engineering. Selected RCPRS students have demonstrated academic excellence in addition to personal characteristics necessary to becoming a great researcher. My fully-funded research utilizes Aihwa Ong and Leti Volpp’s anthropological and sociological framework of cultural citizenship to assess how the absence of it contributes to Asian American political alienation, and thus, social/political invisibility. Specifically, I am investigating Chinese Americans to analyze how despite their legal citizenship, the lack of cultural citizenship allows violence against Asian Americans to flourish.
