When I met with Raha, I had been unsuccessful at finding the person who would be as excited as I was about why I am going to law school. Admission experts advised I set a reasonable expectation. I was a splitter. As a non-traditional applicant, however, I believed my story would merit serious consideration if I owned my narrative and law schools actually reviewed holistically. I believed law schools did. Raha approached the early foundational sessions, “Who is David?”, with curiosity and asked thoughtful questions to understand where I was coming from. Through her articulation of the life I lived—systems-thinker seeking harmony—I felt invigorated to portray that in my writing. My early drafts, however, often curated to what I thought law schools would want to hear. I would highlight one aspect while removing others, which then led me to revise another. In those times, she pushed back and reminded me to stay close to my narrative backbone. Amidst self-doubt, I realized I needed someone who not only would proofread, but also hold me to a standard. As a result, I told my story. In any cycle, law schools want to hear from you, and you need to make yourself heard. But because life experience is often complex, you need to be strategic about what you choose to highlight—and Raha is as strategic a coach as she is an authentic person. I’m headed to a T10 law school. But this success is merely the cherry on top to a much weightier lesson I internalized through Raha’s coaching—stay true to yourself—a lesson I hope readers will take with them as well.

Vica was an amazing coach throughout the law school admissions process. She was really helpful in helping me brainstorm and craft my narrative. Furthermore, Vica is highly organized, kind and extremely supportive! I am so glad I made the decision to work with her!

As an extreme splitter I had an uphill battle to getting accepted to law school, Taylor helped me focus and lean in on the parts of my application that were in my control. She helped me communicate not only my military experience to the admissions committee, but also guided me on how to frame all the other elements of my life into a cohesive story. Rather than just telling my story, Taylor taught me how to show these elements of my life in my written materials in a compelling way to answer the big questions on why now, why law school, and what I can bring to the classroom/profession. I can not advocate for Taylor enough!

Indrani provided very substantive feedback. She was easy to work with, attentive, available, and her experience/knowledge/confidence in law school admissions was a huge plus in helping me achieve my goals. Super nice person as well! Highly recommend!
