Parth earned his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and his JD from Columbia Law School, where he received the James Kent Scholar Award. Professionally, he has worked at several prestigious firms, including Jones Day, DLA Piper, and Simpson Thatcher & Bartlett. He has 10 years of admissions experience, including serving as an alumni interviewer at UT Austin.

Through his professional experiences, Parth has developed strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and the ability to break down complicated legal concepts. These skills have been instrumental in his years of coaching law school applicants, guiding them through every facet of the complex application process. Students Parth has coached have been accepted to Columbia Law School, Harvard Law, UPenn Carey Law, the University of Michigan Law School, Georgetown University Law Center, and many others. 

Parth understands the stress that goes into applying to law school, and he prides himself on his ability to break application components into digestible pieces. He works closely with students to ensure they craft the perfect application with maximum care and minimal stress. 

As a coach, Parth’s greatest strength is helping students reflect on their background (personal, professional, academic, extracurricular, etc.) and choose impactful experiences and stories to describe in their law school applications. He believes each student can portray unique value as part of the admissions process. Since students are often tempted to simply include what seems appealing or attractive to schools, Parth’s approach focuses on reflecting on students’ actual strengths and highlighting them within their application.

In his free time, Parth likes to work out, attend concerts, watch movies, try new restaurants, and attend standup comedy shows.
