Isn’t it all just a numbers game? Do I really need Admissions Consulting?
Every year, law schools have to choose between thousands of students with comparable GPAs and LSAT scores. The only way they can do this is by considering each applicant’s story. That’s why your essays matter. Admissions officers can and do reject 180-scorers because their written materials are lifeless, and at the same time they accept students who are below both medians because their essays are extraordinary.
What’s it like to work with a 7Sage writer?
We start with a conversation. Your writer will want to know everything you’re willing to tell them about your background, interests, and life experiences. Then we’ll think together about how to leverage those experiences in your essays. Starting with the personal statement and then moving to the other essays, we’ll talk you through every stage of the drafting process, from brainstorming essay topics and outlining to rigorous developmental revisions of complete drafts. Later in the process, we’ll offer thorough line edits and scrutinize every word. We won’t just add commas or suggest synonyms (that’s proofreading, although we do that too). We’ll think about tone, style, pacing, and voice. This is your one chance to speak directly to admissions officers. We’ll make sure you get it right.
How long does it take? Am I too late or too early?
Typically, our clients finish the core written documents (personal statement, lived experience essay, resume, supplementals) in 8-10 weeks. But don’t worry: it’s absolutely possible to finish faster if you’re in a rush, and if life gets in the way, we have you covered for the whole cycle. Some clients will start as early as March or as late as December, and we’ve seen success with all different sorts of timelines.
How many schools do we need?
Most students apply to between eight and fifteen schools total. If you’d like full coverage of the entire process, we recommend the fifteen-school package. If you want support for just the most important apps, our most popular package is the five-school package. If your budget is limited and you just want support for the core documents, the one-school package is for you.
How will I be paired with a consultant?
You’ll pick the admissions officer you’ll work with at the beginning of the process, then we’ll pair you with a writer based on your availability, work style, school goals, and personal background. We’ll try to match you with a consultant who best fits your needs. If for whatever reason you feel that you need a different consultant, we’ll accommodate one switch, no questions asked.
Do you offer combined admissions and tutoring packages?
Yes! For certain packages, you may also receive a free mock review or two free hours of tutoring. Learn more by signing up for a free consultation.
Do you help with Canadian, transfer, or LLM applications?
For Canadian and transfer applications, absolutely. We’re also happy to work on your LLM applications with you as long as they are roughly the same length as an average JD application. Just note this preference in your response to the welcome email and we'll pair you with consultants who are experienced with those application types.
How long do I get to work with you?
Admissions Consulting covers you until you commit to a school or until the last day of August that follows your application submission.
How do payment plans work?
We split the purchase price into a set of monthly payments. You pay the first today, and then we'll bill you each month until you're paid up. No interest, no shady terms, and no third-party companies. Note: once you buy, you are obligated to complete all the payments.
Is there a refund policy?
We have a qualified 6-day refund policy. If you change your mind, let us know within 6 days of payment to get a full refund less $250 per hour of our consultants’ work time and a 6% processing fee.
