Traditional Law School Admissions Experts

With 20+ years of professional experience across law, education, and leadership, I bring both firsthand experience and strategic insight to every stage of the law school journey. I earned my Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School and AB from Harvard University, scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT, and was admitted to Harvard and Stanford Law before choosing Columbia—where I secured my Big Law offer as a 1L in Jones Day’s Paris office. As the founder of Nurimas Coaching, I’ve dedicated over 350 hours to supporting aspiring law students—first-gen, nontraditional, and transfer applicants alike—through LSAT preparation, application strategy, and career alignment. My specialty lies in helping candidates craft authentic, imaginative personal statements that reveal how they think and what drives them. Clients have written essays exploring a “third utopia” inspired by Indian science fiction, a Sherlock Holmes–style investigation into the heist of African languages as an introduction to how law can intentionally silence voices, and law as a language of displacement through its procedural rules—stories that marry creativity with intellectual rigor while remaining unmistakably personal. Beyond admissions, I help students study the law effectively, strengthen legal writing, and strategically position themselves for 1L and 2L opportunities. Whether your path leads to Big Law, public interest, or a federal clerkship, my coaching blends reflection with rigor—so you can approach law school with clarity, confidence, and a foundation for long-term success.

Welcome to my profile! I bring a unique blend of academic and professional experiences to help you navigate the law school admissions process. I am currently attending Stanford Law School, after having received admission to several other T14 law schools and some very generous scholarships. I deferred law school for a year to obtain a Masters at Oxford University on a full scholarship from Columbia University. I have extensive experience in editing application essays and resumes for mentees and friends, and several of these people have gone on to win prestigious fellowships or gain admission at T5 law schools such as Columbia Law School. I am committed and detail-oriented – key components in crafting compelling law school applications. I'm here to guide you through every step of the process, from personal statements to interview preparation. Let's work together to make your law school dreams a reality!

I I bring a nontraditional perspective to law school and business school admissions, having spent nearly eight years in the professional world and over five years living and working abroad in Dubai and across the Middle East before returning to graduate school. I earned both my B.A. and M.A. from Brown University and was accepted into nearly every law school I applied to, as well as multiple JD-MBA programs. I also earned multiple merit scholarships at every school I was accepted to, and successfully navigated the negotiating process to increase my package based on other offers. Alongside my academic and professional journey, I am a three-time Ironman 70.3 finisher and competed at the 2023 World Championships, which reflects my commitment to discipline, resilience, and long-term goal-setting. I am deeply passionate about helping others navigate ambitious transitions while maintaining balance, well-being, and a clear sense of purpose. Whether you are coming from a traditional educational/career path or considering a major pivot, I can help you craft a compelling story, strategically position your experience, and ace the application process with confidence. It is never too late to pursue a JD or MBA (or both), and I am here to help you make it happen!

I grew up in South Tucson, Arizona, and I’m now a JD/PhD candidate at Yale Law School and the University of Oxford. For over ten years, I’ve helped students from first-gen, low-income, and immigrant backgrounds gain admission to top law schools and receive the most prestigious scholarships by turning their life stories into clear, compelling application narratives. As a Truman Scholar, Marshall Scholar, and Skadden Fellow, I’ve been through the fellowship and admissions process at the highest levels. I know how intimidating this process can feel, especially if you don’t come from backgrounds where there are few people to turn to for guidance. I’m here to help guide you through the admissions process and put forward the strongest version of your story.

I am a rising 3L at Duke University School of Law and a Duke undergraduate alum. I scored a 175 on the LSAT and received scholarship offers from 10 law schools, including a full-tuition scholarship to Cornell Law School. I also navigated 30+ competitive undergraduate applications, developing tailored essays for each school and building a strategic extracurricular and internship profile to strengthen my candidacy. Throughout both processes, I became deeply invested in understanding what actually drives admissions and scholarship outcomes—when to apply, how to present a strong application, and how to make strategic decisions that maximize results. I now use that experience to guide students through both college and law school admissions in a thoughtful and effective way. I take a flexible, personalized approach and support students in whatever way they need. My goal is to make sure there are no gaps in support, so you always have clarity, direction, and someone in your corner.

Hi there! I’m Lara, a current 1L at Columbia Law School and a proud first-generation, Latina law student. My journey to law school was driven by a passion for advocacy, and now I’m dedicated to helping you find your own seat at the table. As a "reverse splitter" applicant who secured multiple full-tuition scholarships, I know firsthand that your worth is so much more than just a set of numbers. I specialize in helping students leverage their unique lived experiences to build a narrative that admissions committees can't ignore. Before coaching, I served as a 1L Admissions and Recruitment Representative for the Latinx Law Students Association (LaLSA) and held office hours to demystify the JD process. Whether it’s polishing your personal statement or navigating the complexities of being a first-gen applicant, I’m here to be your mentor and biggest cheerleader. Let’s turn your law school dreams into an acceptance letter!

There's so much information on what a law school applicant should do, it can feel overwhelming. My goal has always been to provide superior information targeted to each student's unique circumstances. No questions are off limits, I make the path simple, comfortable and understanding. We can tackle anything or everything – from the minutiae of getting your recs/transcripts to LSAC to crafting your personal statements. Perhaps the best definition I’ve heard of a law school personal statement is that it’s a chance to tell your story. My goal is to capture a side of you that no one can deny is uniquely you. Law school trains you to be an attorney. But every student, every lawyer, is first and foremost a person – with a story. Your story informs your judgment. As an attorney, you hold tremendous power in society. Showing an admissions committee who you are through your story demonstrates how you’ll use that power responsibly. Our purpose is to tell your story. I believe every person has greatness inside of them and our goal is to show your greatness through your story.

I earned my JD from Howard University School of Law, graduating in the top 10% of my class while serving on law review. After law school, I joined Paul, Weiss and later Kirkland & Ellis, advising leading private-equity sponsors on multi-billion-dollar M&A transactions, carve-outs, and complex fund formations. This combination of elite legal training and high-stakes deal work gives me a deep understanding of what top law schools and firms look for in applicants and future attorneys. Beyond credentials, I bring a coach’s mindset. I’ve mentored aspiring law students, junior attorneys, and MBA candidates on crafting standout applications, preparing for interviews, and positioning their career narratives for Big Law, clerkships, and JD/MBA paths. Whether you’re targeting a T14 school, planning a dual-degree, or pivoting into business, I’ll help you translate your experiences into a compelling, authentic story and create an application strategy that maximizes your chances of admission and scholarship awards.

Hello, nice to meet you! My name is Alexander Walton, and I am currently an incoming JD Candidate at Yale Law School. During my admissions cycle, I earned scholarship offers and multiple T6 Law School admissions. Now, I want to help you get accepted to your dream school.
