Austin’s Law School Qualifications

10+ people coached for Law School

As a JD/MBA graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I offer a unique dual-lens approach to the admissions process. Having successfully navigated the rigors of both Penn Carey Law and The Wharton School, I help applicants master the "dual-narrative" required for elite joint-degree programs. My coaching focuses on more than just high LSAT/GMAT scores; I specialize in synthesizing professional experience into a cohesive story that resonates with both legal and business admissions committees. Whether you are targeting a T14 law school or a top-tier MBA, I provide the strategic roadmap I used to secure my own seat at the table.

About Austin

Navigating the intersection of law and business requires more than just high scores—it requires a cohesive narrative. As a JD/MBA graduate from the University of Pennsylvania and a practicing Associate in Skadden’s corporate groups, I have lived the path that most applicants are currently trekking. I specialize in helping elite candidates bridge the 'narrative gap' between the academic rigor of Law and the leadership-driven focus of the MBA. Whether you are aiming for a T14 Law School, an M7 Business School, or a dual-degree seat at the most competitive programs in the world, my coaching is built on an insider’s understanding of what admissions committees—and top-tier employers—are looking for. I don't just help you apply; I help you articulate a cross-disciplinary vision that sets you apart in a crowded field of high-achievers. Let’s build the strategy that secures your seat at a top program.
