Application Strategy: Your coach will help you identify your unique strengths and advantages as an applicant and plan how to effectively showcase those strengths throughout your law school application. If you're concerned about any part of your application profile, like your LSAT or GPA, your coach will help you develop an application that proactively addresses these areas and effectively spotlights your strengths. 4. Personal Statement Brainstorming, Advising & Editing: Get expert guidance and feedback from your coach on your personal statements for each school. Find confidence in a narrative that effectively highlights your motivations, experiences, and aspirations. 5.

Activity Descriptions: Work closely with your coach to decide which extracurricular activities, experiences, awards, and honors to include and how to describe them in a way that fits your application's broader narrative. 7. Letters of Recommendation: Strategize with your coach about choosing potential recommenders, making recommendation requests, and supporting recommenders so you can be sure you're getting strong letters of recommendation. 8. Supplemental Essays Advising & Editing: Understand exactly what each school is looking for in their supplemental essays and get personalized advising support from your coach.

Specializing in Waitlist Mentoring | Former Govt. Employee | Future Big Law

I am currently a 3L student at University of Pennsylvania Law School. I was accepted off the waitlist in May 2023; before I committed to Penn, I was planning on attending UCLA Law. At Penn, I was awarded the Leader of the Year Award for my pro bono work my 2L year, received my Wharton Certificate in Management, and was a Wharton McNulty Nonprofit Board Fellow with Jounce Partners. I am the Development Editor for the Journal of Constitutional Law and led both the Pardon Project and Democracy Law Project (the two largest pro bono projects at Penn). Before law school, I worked for three years -- I was on the 2020 Biden Campaign and then worked in the Administration at the U.S. Department of Health of Human Services in the Secretary's Office. I have mentored four people through the law school waitlist process, drawing on my own experience of being initially waitlisted at Penn. When I applied to law school, I was working long hours and was not a natural test taker, so I focused on leveraging my professional experience and presenting my story in the strongest possible way. That approach earned me admission to UCLA Law (a T14 school) through my personal statement and essays, and later, I was accepted off the waitlists at both Georgetown Law and Penn Law before starting 1L. Since then, I have coached four applicants through the same process, helping them strategically navigate their waitlists. Each of them ultimately secured admission to their top-choice school, along with several others. I hope to continue using my experience to help future applicants maximize their chances of success.
