Application Strategy

Before you write the first words of your application, it is important to start with the right strategy.

This includes selecting the right law schools to apply to.

We help you figure out which schools are the best match for you, and ensure your professional goals inform your application decisions.

A key part of this strategy is understanding your background and what it means for your application.

We take a comprehensive approach involving your personal story, LSAT results, academic profile and professional goals.

Before we begin working with you on major application decisions, we ask you to explain in your own words why you want to be a lawyer.

This process not only serves as a key building block for your application package, but can identify if it is the best time for you to apply.

We help you find the right approach for you.

Autobiographical Sketch and CV Review

Law schools require an autobiographical sketch detailing your education, accomplishments, volunteer activity and experience.

Though they may seem less significant than other parts of an application, the sketch and CV serves as a guide and is key for a successful application.

We work closely with you to create a powerful autobiographical sketch tailored to the factors law school admissions officers look for.

This includes informing the sketch with your personal story and the specifics of your CV to showcase your relevant experience, most impressive achievements, personal well-roundedness and distinguishing details.

Our approach gives you a powerful autobiographical sketch and CV so your application stands out and you make the right impression.

Personal Statement

Every successful law school application needs a well-written and impactful personal statement.

We know it can be challenging to talk about yourself, so we use a highly detailed approach that identifies your key strengths and stories to form the basis of your personal statement.

We take the time to get to know you not as an applicant, but as a unique individual.

This close perspective, combined with our expertise in creating winning personal statements, results in a powerful statement you will be proud of.

The writing process begins with you submitting a first draft.

Together we revise and expand it using samples of successful statements along with guidance informed by your background to develop a statement that truly represents who you are, not just repeat your CV.

We help your personal statement highlight the qualities law schools are looking for and put your application on the path to success.
