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.

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.

As a current 2L at NYU Law and former admitted student to top law schools including Harvard Law, Columbia Law, Penn Carey Law, Duke Law, and other peer schools (all with scholarships), I have significant insight into what top law schools are looking for in applicants. Experienced in coaching and new to Leland, I have helped guide multiple students through the law school application process, specifically aiding them in crafting compelling personal statements, creating a narrative throughout their resumes, prepping for interviews, deciding on which schools to apply to, and developing a strategy for scholarship negotiation. Whether you are just starting your application or need targeted advice, I am here to help you succeed. Let's make your law school dreams a reality!

Welcome to my profile! As a current JD candidate at Harvard Law School, I bring firsthand experience and insights into the law school admissions process. When applying to law school, I questioned whether I could be a competitive applicant at T14 schools, as I earned my undergraduate degree from a public university that does not send many students to top-tier law schools. However, I believed I would bring a unique voice to some of these schools and spent months crafting my essays and other application components. I received numerous offers at T14 schools and was honored to join Harvard Law School's Class of 2026. I have helped many potential students with their applications and am a Harvard Law School Admissions Ambassador, acting as a liaison with potential and admitted students. I am passionate about helping aspiring law students craft compelling applications that highlight their unique strengths and experiences. Let's work together to make your law school dreams a reality!
