Natalie Santoscoy, a Law School Admissions Consultant at Juris Education

Natalie graduated summa cum laude with a degree in political science from the University of Texas at El Paso before earning a JD from the University of California Berkeley School of Law on a full-ride scholarship. She served as the Assistant Director of Admissions at UC Hastings Law School (now UC Law San Francisco) for nearly 8 years and evaluated over 10,000 applications. She has helped students gain admission to top law schools, including Columbia, NYU, Michigan, and UC Berkeley.

Prior to law school, Natalie participated in the Law School Institute, a selective pre-law program that was featured on 20/20, a TV program. Throughout her education, she interned and worked several legal positions but found her passion to be working with law school applicants. At UC Hastings, she led recruitment efforts, coordinated diversity initiatives, managed the administration of the LSAT for over 400 students, and worked closely with both the LEOP Committee and LSAC’s Misconduct and Irregularities Subcommittee. She also served as a reader for the Millennium Scholarship.

As a coach, Natalie combines her deep admissions knowledge with an adaptable, student-centered approach. She helps applicants develop compelling narratives, provides strategic support for scholarship and deferral planning, and guides students through every phase of the application process, from early candidacy to final decision.

Natalie is passionate about mentorship and education access. Outside of admissions, she serves on the Oakland Fund for Children and Youth, helping distribute grants to youth-centered nonprofit organizations. She remains committed to supporting students beyond the application stage, continuing to mentor those she has helped into law school.

In her free time, Natalie enjoys spending time with her sons and diving into their latest obsessions, from Godzilla to K-pop Demon Hunters.
