Live Edit: Turning a Weak Personal Statement Into Something Unforgettable [9/30/2026] (Recording)

A strong law school personal statement should do more than explain why you want to become a lawyer. It should give admissions committees a memorable sense of who you are, what shaped you, and what you’ll bring to the law school community. In this live editing session, you’ll see how a weak personal statement can be transformed into a compelling one, with a focus on sharpening the story, strengthening the writing, and making the essay feel genuinely personal. You’ll walk away with practical techniques you can apply to make your own personal statement more distinctive. Join live with an incoming J.D. at Columbia Law School for a real-time breakdown of what works and what doesn’t in a law school essay. You’ll see the editing process firsthand and learn how small changes to structure, storytelling, and specificity can dramatically strengthen a personal statement. Bring your questions and leave with a clearer framework for turning your draft into an essay that admissions committees remember.

All-Encompassing Guide To Admissions And Ask Me Anything [7/12/2026] (Recording)

For the past couple of years, I’ve advised many high school students on their college applications, helping them get accepted to many highly selective colleges and universities; Harvard, Penn, Georgetown, Cornell, and Princeton, just to name a few. I myself applied to a little less than twenty schools, with notable acceptances to: Michigan (Go Blue!), Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, Richmond, Bucknell, and Tulane. I also earned a four year, full tuition Army ROTC scholarship (worth over $300,000), full room and board scholarships (worth over $80,000), as well as over $6,000 in national and local scholarships paid directly to me. Join me for an all-encompassing guide to college admissions where you can ask me anything! Whether you're curious about crafting compelling essays, strategizing your school selection, or understanding financial aid and scholarships, this session is designed to provide you with the insights you need. We'll cover everything from recommendations and interviews to waitlist strategies and supplementary materials. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable advice and clarity on your college journey.
