Scaling the Ivory Tower

The challenge: how do you make your law school application pop off the page? So often, it feels as though originality and authenticity are impossible when law schools seem so eager to reduce to your vital statistics. The truth is that law schools are largely interested in your LSAT and GPA, as this is what helps determine their position in the rankings (and they are very insecure about their rankings).

But numbers aren’t their only interest. They want to admit fully rounded human beings, capable of articulating a vision of who they are and what law school can help them do. I help by asking the right questions to develop the best version of you that can pop off the page.

In case you need an expert’s eye for:

Finding and compiling a list of target schools based on your goals

Extended Guide: 10 hours - $2000

For those seeking personally tailored advice and guidance through the application process. This package will include extensive drafting and editing of your most important documents, including your personal statement, school-particular essays, and any necessary addenda (to explain that GPA dip or the drinking ticket from your freshman year). This option is meant for those that need that extra edge in the application cycle, especially if you’re worried about a “black eye” on your record.

By the Hour - $225/hr (2 hr. minimum)

A great option for professional advice on your personal statement. Sometimes it just helps to get a second pair of eyes…and your friend who majors in English might be neck-deep into Ulysses. I can provide a very quick turnaround. I typically block off an hour to devote to your first draft, provide feedback for half an hour, then spend another 30 minutes looking at your revisions. I know what law schools look for and can give you clear directions to focus on the elements the admissions office really cares about.
