Brian Reid

Brian has extensive experience counseling students at all stages of the law school application process. During his time at Suffolk Law, Brian regularly met with students to advise them on writing their personal statements, compiling letters of recommendation, and writing optional essays. As a member of Suffolk University Law School’s admissions committee,  Brian analyzed 2,500+ applications and gained a deep understanding of what factors make applicants stand out. He has worked with students from diverse backgrounds and co-founded and co-ran the Suffolk Pre-Law Achievers Program.  This two-week pipeline program was designed to equip students from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds with the skills they need to create a successful law school application.

As a counselor, Brian’s approach centers on getting to know each student so he can help them understand how their individual experiences make them a unique law school candidate. Drawing on hundreds of student meetings, he helps applicants understand each step of the application process and how to leverage their past successes to compile a robust application. Brian’s passion for coaching comes from seeing students he met during the application process succeed in law school and go on to thrive in their legal careers.

In his free time, Brian enjoys reading, golfing, and spending time with his wife and dog.
