Leyla Hadi

After graduating and passing the New York State Bar, Leyla worked as an attorney at Hogan Lovells in New York, a top-50 global law firm. After four years as an attorney, she left the corporate world to pursue both creative and public-spirited endeavors, such as admissions counseling. Her guidance has helped students receive acceptances from Cornell, Georgetown, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UPenn, Columbia and other top law schools.

Leyla is passionate about guiding students towards pursuing their legal goals, from advising them about academics, research, the application process, and how to network for prosperous careers. She has a strong understanding of what the industry values and connections with professionals in the field, which she’s eager to share with students. 

Leyla’s personal background, education, and professional experience have provided her with a unique perspective on the law school application process. She is adept at identifying and highlighting each student’s unique skills, passions, and individual narratives to ensure their applications stand out. 

A fun fact about Leyla is that although she has never visited LA, she has always been an avid Lakers fan!
