Description

If your GPA and your LSAT don't tell the same story, most application advice stops being useful. It assumes your numbers sit near a school's medians and that the essays are the only variable. When one number lands well below the line, the rest of the application has to do different work, and almost nobody tells you what that work is. That gap is what this package exists to close. I applied to law school with a 3.4 GPA and a 150 LSAT and went to UVA Law. I practice now as a commercial litigator at a boutique trial firm, and I spent time as an admissions counselor reading files from the other side of the desk. I know what a low number looks like to a committee, and I know which parts of an application can actually move against it. How we work: First, an honest read of your file. Which number is the real problem, how far below the medians you actually sit at each school you are considering, and what leverage you have that is not a number. Second, we rebuild the school list around that answer. Reach, target and safety mean something different for a splitter than they do for a balanced applicant, and a list built on medians alone will cost you money and cycles. Third, the writing. Your personal statement stops apologizing for your numbers and starts doing its own job. Your addendum, if you need one, explains without excusing. That line is where most addenda fail. This is strategy work, not editing. I will tell you when a school is out of reach, and I will tell you when you are selling yourself short.
