Challenge:
After scoring 150 on his first LSAT attempt, Michael reflected on his law school readiness as a senior. With a lower LSAT score, high GPA, and only a few extracurriculars to showcase, he determined that his profile likely wasn’t competitive enough to be admitted to a T-14 law school.

We conducted an in-depth persona assessment to assess current key takeaways about Michael’s involvement, activities, and experiences
Tutored Michael for his upcoming LSAT test date, helping him ace Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension topics to achieve a top 1% score
Helped Michael craft and edit an application to become a legal assistant at a civil rights firm in Phoenix

Helped Michael become a volunteer caseworker for the Arizona Justice Project, using his free time to pursue his passion for justice for wrongly incarcerated individuals

How We Helped:
Helped Devon develop a list of 15 law schools that contained a balance of T-14, safety, and target schools based on his academic profile
Conducted an in-depth persona assessment to uncover Devon’s key leadership experiences, including his role as Managing Editor at USC Annenberg Media
Helped Devon build an LSAC personal statement narrative centered on his leadership abilities, journalism experience, and passion for the legal profession
Edited Devon’s pre-law resume to ensure his activities demonstrated measurable impact and growth over his college career
Helped Devon prepare for law school interviews with school-specific questions and mock simulations that would prepare him for the big day
