Traditional Law School Admissions Coaches

As a law school coach with a specialty in supporting first-generation law students, I bring a unique blend of empathy, strategic guidance, and personal commitment to my clients’ success. Having navigated the complexities of legal education myself, I understand firsthand the challenges and uncertainties that often accompany the journey, especially for those who are breaking new ground in their families. I’m passionate about coaching because I believe everyone deserves a dedicated ally in their corner—someone who provides tailored advice, boosts confidence, and brings clarity to each step. My coaching style is warm, approachable, and goal-oriented; I focus on helping clients articulate their aspirations, tackle obstacles, and build practical strategies to excel in their legal careers. Whether it’s preparing for the LSAT, refining application essays, or making the most of law school, my goal is to help you reach yours.

I have advised hundreds and hundreds of law school applicants over an almost twenty year period. I am an expert in law school admissions and have also published a book and a nationwide column about it. Many applicants that I have advised have been admitted to their top choice of law schools. Some of my former students have also received up to full scholarships to law school. I am also an expert on the subject of legal careers, as well as alternative legal careers. In addition I have taught several courses for students planning to apply to law school. I am a graduate of Brown University and Boston College Law School.

Experienced law school admissions consultant with a track record of success at T14 schools, including financial aid. Extensive experience working with students with below median GPAs and STEM backgrounds. Whether you need assistance with personal statements, interview preparation, or overall application strategy, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

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.

More than 20 years of experience working with prospective and admitted students for top law schools in the United States. Can focus on the application and career prospects.

I have a degree in English from the University of Cambridge, and I am a former news journalist, relentless reader, avid writer, and Stanford MBA. My first law school client came from a military background. We worked together from the get-go on her Personal Statement, Optional and Diversity Statements, resume, and preparing for interviews. She got into: Harvard, Cornell, Michigan, Vanderbilt, GWU, Syracuse, Boston College and Colorado. She's now at Harvard Law School since Fall 2024! 🏆 I have since helped over a dozen law school applicants from all kinds of background write successful applications for Harvard, Stanford, Cornell, and other top law schools.

Welcome to my profile! As a Harvard Law School graduate and a former corporate associate at Skadden, I bring extensive experience in law school admissions coaching. I have successfully guided over 100 aspiring law students through the competitive admissions process, leveraging my expertise as a pre-law tutor at Harvard College, a Truman Albright Fellow mentor, and served as a fellowships advisor at Yale. Currently, I serve as the Director of a Legal Academic Pipeline Program at a top three law school, where I mentor students pursuing careers in law teaching and academia. With insider knowledge of what top law schools seek, I specialize in strategic school selection, crafting compelling personal statements, and optimizing application materials. Whether you're navigating the complexities of law school admissions or refining your unique narrative, I offer tailored, results-driven support to help you succeed. Let’s work together to turn your law school aspirations into reality!

I applied and am a big promoter of my experience at Harvard Law School. It's a grueling process, and no one should have to go it alone. I'd be happy to help you do so as well.

I'll be entering Yale Law School this fall as a Truman Scholar and Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow. As a first-gen applicant, I've spent years learning this process, inside and out: what makes for a winning personal statement, the way an addendum or supplemental essay can reframe an entire application, and what it actually takes to build a narrative that feels true to you—while speaking the language that admissions committees respond to. A lot of law school coaches went through the admissions process years, if not decades, ago. As a YLS Launchpad Scholar from 2024 to 2026, I received cutting-edge, comprehensive advice from admissions officers at T14s around the country. Ultimately, in the 2026 application cycle (which is widely regarded as the most competitive in history), I gained admission to Yale, Stanford, Chicago, UVA, Penn, Berkeley, and Duke. Whether you're working on your personal statement, your "Why X" essays, your résumé, or your overall application strategy, I'll help you apply with clarity, intention, and a package that reflects the absolute best version of you.

As a JD/MBA graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, I offer a unique dual-lens approach to the admissions process. Having successfully navigated the rigors of both Penn Carey Law and The Wharton School, I help applicants master the "dual-narrative" required for elite joint-degree programs. My coaching focuses on more than just high LSAT/GMAT scores; I specialize in synthesizing professional experience into a cohesive story that resonates with both legal and business admissions committees. Whether you are targeting a T14 law school or a top-tier MBA, I provide the strategic roadmap I used to secure my own seat at the table.
