Description
JDP-type programs let current college juniors apply to schools like HLS and CLS a year early, then spend at least two years working, studying, or serving before starting 1L. The application window is short which means every piece has to be ready at the same time. Together we will: . Decide whether JDP is right for you now, or whether you should apply as a senior or after working, and lock in your LSAT/GRE plan. . Build your Statement of Purpose and Statement of Perspective. . Write your 200-word deferral plans response so it shows real direction without boxing you in. . Tighten your resume and plan your two to three recommendations, including who to ask, when to ask, and what to give them. . Prepare for interviews. . Draft any addendum you need (test history, grade context) and run a full check before you hit submit. *No admissions outcome is guaranteed.*
What you'll get from this package
A go/no-go JDP decision and a game plan covering test date, recommender asks, and draft deadlines
A final Statement of Purpose and Statement of Perspective
A 200-word deferral plans response grounded in tailored options for your two years
A polished, admissions-ready 1–2 page resume
Recommender sheets and tailored scripts for your academic letters
A mock Zoom interview with written feedback and a bank of preparation questions
An addendum draft (if needed) and a line-by-line pre-submission final check
Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions.
I work with you the way a senior attorney works with a junior attorney. For each piece of your application, we start by talking through the deliverable and brainstorming together. I give you clear guidance, and you go draft it. Then you bring it back, we discuss it, refine the thinking, and you go back for another round. Early rounds focus on substance and story. Once the foundation is solid, I get into the draft with line edits and comments. The final product is always yours. Sessions are live 1:1 over video, with written feedback between them, and every session ends with a clear assignment and deadline. Because JDP opens in the Spring, I recommend starting in February or March of junior year so your essays are close to final before spring exams.
