Deferred Law School Admissions Consultants

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.

I was admitted to Harvard Law School through its Junior Deferral Program, so I recently went through every step of the application process myself and know what it takes to stand out. I help applicants with personal statements, "why law" and diversity essays, resumes, addenda, and building a balanced school list. My approach starts with finding the story only you can tell, then shaping it into essays that are clear, specific, and genuinely yours. Whether you're applying straight from college, as a junior through a deferral program, or after time in the workforce, I'll help you present your strongest, most authentic application.

I was admitted to Yale Law School, Harvard Law School, and Stanford Law School, among others. I also received full-tuition scholarship offers from the University of Chicago Law School and Columbia Law School. I have demonstrated experience with crafting law school application materials and with LSAT preparation (I scored in the 99th percentile, and I have helped others do the same). Currently, I'm studying politics at the University of Oxford, where I am a Barry Scholar. The Barry Scholarship is awarded to around a dozen students in the United States each year, and it fully funds the pursuit of any graduate program at Oxford. I was admitted to three programs at Oxford, each of which was competitive. I'm experienced with writing, editing, and interview preparation. I specialize in applications to law schools, master's programs, and prestigious scholarships.

Understanding the British Law School scene can seem more than daunting for those interested in pursuing legal education abroad. As a Mature LLB Candidate at Cambridge University, my goal is to help Americans and other international students understand whether these programs are the right fit and navigate the maze of deadlines and requirements needed to make an application.

I am currently an Associate Professor at Florida Gulf Coast University, where I teach environmental law and policy. I attended the University of Pennsylvania Law School and, prior to pursuing a PhD, I worked at several prestigious international, national, and boutique law firms. I have counseled numerous students interested in attending law school, helping them decide whether and where to apply, and what strategies to use to stand out as applicants.
