Dhruv Was Overwhelmed by the Law School Admissions Process as an International Applicant; We Helped Him Succeed

Applying to law school is a challenging process for any domestic student, and international applicants face additional challenges. Dhruv was concerned that he would accidentally submit an incomplete application, having a lot of uncertainty surrounding requirements unique to international applicants. 

Dhruv was also concerned that his application wouldn’t stand out from thousands of qualified domestic applicants. He wondered what T-14 schools were looking for in applicants and how he could position himself in his personal statement and law school essays as a frontrunner candidate.  

Without a strong pre-law advising system at his university and no family or peers with experience applying to U.S. law schools, Dhruv came to Juris Education for guidance and support.

First, we reassured Dhruv that many international students feel overwhelmed by the U.S. law school admissions process. After learning about his goals, preferences, and target programs, we built a clear plan for him to follow using a detailed project tracker to ensure he wouldn’t miss a single step. We explained the international application process in-depth, ensuring Dhruv understood key nuances and requirements. 

We also helped Dhruv tailor his school list. We provided insights into how top schools viewed international applicants, and strategized on how to highlight Dhruv’s achievements, work experience, and background as unique strengths. 

Our end-to-end application support included helping Dhruv craft a compelling personal statement, diversity essays, and an addendum describing how attending a U.S. law school would help him achieve his career goals. With unlimited revisions on his written materials, we helped Dhruv submit an application he could be 100% confident would give him the best shot at acceptance.

Dhruv was accepted to multiple law schools, including Columbia Law School, NYU School of Law, and the University of Fordham School of Law. He ultimately decided to attend Columbia Law School on a $40K+ scholarship!
