Dane Hixon graduated cum laude from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law with a full-ride Scholar in Law Award. As a former WashU Law admissions ambassador and a first-generation law student, he brings both insider perspective and firsthand experience navigating the application process.
Before law school, Dane worked as an environmental educator at Cuyahoga Valley National Park—giving him firsthand proof that an unconventional path is a major asset. Today, as a Juris admissions counselor and appellate prosecutor, he helps applicants own their backgrounds with confidence, build cohesive applications, and target law schools that actively value their unique perspective.
