The most important Sentence Equivalence pairs for your real GRE exam.

This resource contains the most important Sentence Equivalence (SE) vocabulary pairs to prepare for the real GRE. This list has been carefully crafted and refined over years of student feedback. After their official GRE attempts, my students have consistently shared the vocabulary they encountered, the kinds of word relationships they saw, and the Sentence Equivalence pairs and patterns that appeared on their exams. Over time, I have used that feedback to identify the vocabulary and pairings that are particularly valuable for GRE preparation. Rather than overwhelming you with thousands of words, this resource focuses on high-value vocabulary pairs and relationships that closely reflect what students have reported encountering on the actual GRE. The goal is not simply to memorize definitions. Learn these words as pairs and relationships, understand their nuances, and train yourself to recognize when two seemingly different choices ultimately produce sentences with equivalent meanings. Use this alongside official ETS Sentence Equivalence questions. If you know these pairs thoroughly and can recognize them in context, you will be much better prepared for the vocabulary and pairing patterns you may encounter on test day.

Get Recognized at Work: 5 Steps to Document and Show Your Impact

Inside the 5‑Step Recognition Playbook This isn’t a fluffy checklist. It’s the exact process I use with senior women in tech to help them get promoted, become the obvious choice for big opportunities, and feel grounded in their own impact. You’ll learn how to: 1. Get out of the self‑doubt spiral. Use a simple self‑coaching model to separate “what actually happened” from the harsh story your brain is telling about you. 2. Choose a “10% better” thought. Stop forcing fake affirmations and find language that actually feels believable in your body. 3. Run a weekly Recognition Retro. Block 30 minutes, open one document, and build a running evidence file of your wins and why they mattered. 4. Turn wins into impact statements. Use my template to learn to talk about your work clearly in 1:1s, team updates, and reviews. 5. Design recognition that works for you. Clarify how you like to be recognized and how you want decision‑makers to see your work. This is for you if... ✦ You’re a woman senior IC or manager in tech and your work is strong, but your promotion timeline doesn’t reflect it. ✦ You feel behind compared to peers with louder self‑promotion, even when you know your impact is just as big (or bigger). ✦ You’ve tried “just speaking up more,” but it feels vague, cringey, or like one more thing on your plate. ✦ You want a concrete, repeatable way to see your own impact and talk about it without feeling like you’re bragging. If you’re tired of waiting to be noticed and ready to start designing your own recognition, this guide is for you.

The Personal Statement That Got Me Into Every Top Law School!

This is the personal statement I submitted during my own application cycle, when I was admitted to every law school to which I applied, including Harvard, Columbia, Yale, U Penn, U Chicago, and more. It shows how the strongest essays find the magic in the mundane—using close observation and precise detail to turn an ordinary experience into a story only one unique applicant could tell. I share it as an example of how to write the rare personal statement that an admissions officer cannot shake.

The 150 LSAT Addendum That Got Me Into UVA Law

A real below-median LSAT addendum, reproduced verbatim, with a line-by-line read of the four things it does and the four things it refuses to do. Written for a splitter whose score sat roughly twenty points under the school's median — a low LSAT against a low GPA. Includes how to decide whether you need an addendum at all, because a weak one is worse than none. Reproduced as submitted, which means it names the sitting: the October 2021 LSAT.

The 3.4/150 Personal Statement That Got Me Into UVA Law

The essay I submitted to UVA Law with a 3.4 and a 150, reproduced in full, plus a breakdown of what it is doing and what it deliberately is not. It never mentions either number. Almost every personal statement example you can find belongs to an applicant whose scores were never the problem — this one is the other kind: below median on both, first-generation, a splitter. Names and dates are removed and my family appears by relation only. It was one piece of a file that got in. It was not the whole file, and no essay is.

The 3.4/150 Resume That Got Me Into UVA Law

The two-page résumé that went into a below-median file, reproduced in full, plus a read of the five things making it work: numbers in nearly every bullet, promotions stacked to show trajectory, campaign work filed as professional experience rather than extracurricular, and one line that carries the whole financial story. Written by a first-generation, low-income splitter with a low LSAT. Only the contact block is removed — the schools, employers, campaigns, dates and thesis are all real and all mine.

The 2.0-Semester GPA Addendum That Got Me Into UVA Law

The transcript addendum I submitted about a semester with a 2.0 and a 2.7, reproduced in full. It names the medical reason — a PCOS diagnosis and surgery — because a verifiable circumstance is the whole difference between an addendum and an excuse. Written for a low-GPA, below-median splitter file. The breakdown centres on the sentence most drafts leave out: the one naming the writer's own mistake rather than only the circumstance. Includes when to write one and when writing one hurts you.
