“EXPECT TO HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR CORNER – people who will tell you hard truths (that many parents or friends might not want to say!) but who also provide compassionate moral support.”
“SUSAN AND CHRISTINE WERE THERE EACH AND EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND CONTINUE TO BE IN TOUCH TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS EVEN AFTER COMMITTING TO AND ENROLLING IN LAW SCHOOL. The law school admissions process has so many steps and can be very confusing/ overwhelming. The most helpful service that the Pre-Law Collaborative offered was help with the essays and with navigating the admissions process from brainstorming a school list all the way until hitting submit on my final application.”
“EXPECT A PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE FOCUSED ON THEIR NEEDS AND GOALS. Beginning with the consultation it was clear that Susan and Christine had my best interest at heart and were willing to do whatever was necessary to ensure my success and confidence in ultimately committing to the perfect law School. Susan and Christine were very approachable, always responded in a timely manner, and ensured that each aspect of my application was perfect.”
“THE EXERCISES TO DETERMINE AN ESSAY TOPIC WERE MAYBE THE MOST HELPFUL PART. I felt completely overwhelmed but Susan’s starting exercises made it possible to make progress. She pushed me to write the best possible essay while also recognizing the strain of applying to law school. I found her edits invaluable. She never interfered with my vision and language yet gave me a great foundation to understand the purpose of the essay and write the best possible version.”
“EXPECT A GREATER LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE AND CERTAINTY, which are sometimes quite lacking in a standard application experience. Susan and Christine clearly have enormous experience.”
“WITH FULL CONFIDENCE IN MY LAW SCHOOL LIST I was better able to personalize each law school application and ultimately accept admission to the perfect fit. I came into this process with a clear understanding of what I was looking for in a law school. Susan and Christine…helped me create a list of reach, target, and safety schools that would meet my needs and allow me to thrive.”
“EXPECT DEDICATED, SINCERE AND EXPERT WORK. I truly felt as though my application experience with Susan and Christine was as personal and efficient as possible. My specific needs and concerns were always figured out with perfect clarity and both Susan and Christine seem beyond prepared at every step of such a potentially confusing and stressful process.”
“FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS WERE IMPORTANT TO ME, so negotiating scholarship/financial aid offers was most helpful to me. It can be a difficult process to navigate, but the Pre-Law Collaborative helped me get a very generous scholarship from the school I am attending.”
“THE MOST HELPFUL SERVICE WAS JUST HAVING A DRIVING FORCE to apply early, follow up on schools, and attend events. This made my application cycle much less stressful in the end compared to my peers.”
“FROM BEGINNING TO END SUSAN WAS THERE EACH STEP OF THE WAY TO HELP WITH GENERATING IDEAS, DRAFTING, AND EDITING MY ESSAY. Before beginning the essay I had a few ideas of what to write about but overall was lost and overwhelmed by the entire process. Through various exercises Susan helped me hone in on what was best to write about and how it could be tailored to fit exactly what the different law schools were looking for in their essays. I never felt rushed and Susan was willing to provide as much help and revisions as needed. This instilled a sense of confidence that the essays I submitted not only checked all the boxes schools were looking for in terms of substance but were also mechanically flawless.”
“I WAS ABLE TO CREATE A POLISHED PIECE OF WRITING THAT I COULD NOT HAVE DONE ALONE. Working with Susan during the essay process was gratifying work: from deciding what topic the essay would be on, to its basic structure, through our final meetings and editing sessions. My vision was not changed or altered. Although there were a lot of edits along the way, I was able to tell the same story I summarized in a sloppy paragraph at the very beginning of the process. Susan very quickly and effectively gave me the tools I needed to precisely and smartly express my own message.”
“AS SOMEONE WHO ENTERED THE LAW SCHOOL APPLICATION PROCESS WITH A VAGUE AND UNDECIDED LIST, I NEEDED A LOT OF HELP WITH MY SCHOOL LIST. Working with Susan and Christine, each step of the process was extremely specific and tailor made for my preferences. They helped guide me through this process while teaching me what I should be looking for. Their hands on approach and advice made me feel more certain and knowledgeable about my decisions and how I went about making them.”
