Last year was my first year of PreLawCoach, and I am so thankful to everyone who used my services, as I tried to get the business off the ground. This year, PreLawCoach grew tremendously. Not counting all of the hours I spent reviewing resumes, personal statements, and other application documents, I spent 411 hours in sessions, up from 120 hours in 2017! I am so honored to be able to be a (small) part of so many applicants' journeys to law school and hope to be able to serve even more in 2019. To each of them, my sincerest thanks; and, to everyone, very best wishes for the new year!

Application season is underway, so I want to let you know I offer a range of application/admission services. You can book a session to chat generally about your applications, about choosing a school, or anything else. I offer review of resumes, personal statements, supplemental statements, and school-specific statements; and I offer bundling and prepayment discounts. You get 10% off your bill, when you bundle 2 services (e.g. resume review and personal-statement review); 15% off when you bundle 3. If you prepay, you get another 10% off. My turnaround is usually pretty quick, so you shouldn't have to wait long for me to give you my edits. So, if you'd like any help with your applications, don't hesitate to contact me.

After you take an LSAT diagnostic, it's extremely helpful to take stock of the questions you missed, to break down the misses into question categories & question types. Doing so reveals which question categories/types, if any, were particularly problematic for you, and helps you prioritize your prep, moving forward. The same is true for subsequent practice tests and for any actual LSAT score, if you intend to take the test again. If you don't have the time or energy to do this yourself, let me know. I conduct such inventories for the price of $25 per LSAT (whether diagnostic LSAT, subsequent practice LSAT, or actual LSAT).

I want to make sure folks know that I offer LSAT tutoring not just for first-time takers but also for re-takers. If you have taken the LSAT once or even more than once and want to take it again, I'd love to help you try to improve your score. For the February 2018 LSAT, I tutored four new clients who came to me after having taken the December 2017 LSAT. We had a small window of time to prep for the February test, but each student improved his/her score. The average score increase was 6.75 points, and the max increase was 11 points. I love working with students who are trying to improve on their scores. In particular, I really enjoying finding and working on specific parts of that LSAT that are problem areas for students. If you're in the market for prep, as you gear up to take the LSAT again, I'd love the opportunity to try to help you. 

Law-school admissions season has begun! If you're in the market for application advising and/or admissions counseling, I'd love to hear from you. I am sure many of you have plenty of questions, and I'd welcome the chance to try to answer all of them. Here are some of the questions I can address with you:

• Which schools should I consider applying to? 
• How many schools should I apply to?
• Which schools are potentially good fits for me?
• Should I retake the LSAT?
• Does my resume need work?
• What should I write about in my personal statement?
• What can I do to improve my personal statement?
• Am I able to address/explain poor grades from a particular term? 
• From whom should I seek recommendation letters?
• How many recommendation letters do I need?
• How do I get the most out of an admissions fair?
• How do I prepare for an admissions interview?
• How should I handle being wait-listed?
• I've been accepted to multiple schools. How do I pick between/among them?
• How do I handle scholarship negotiation?

If these questions and/or others are on your mind, please let me know. I am available for a range of admissions services and welcome the opportunity to try to help you navigate this admissions season.
