"2020 was one of the most competitive years, yet with Mara's help, I was able to go to one of my top ten choices.
I would not have been able to handle this process without Mara's guidance and it goes without saying that I would not be in law school without her."

Mara is extremely professional and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the law school application process.
"Applying to law school can be confusing and it is often hard to know who to trust to help properly guide you through the application process. There are large organizations that promise the world and highly expensive boutique companies that try their best to make you believe they’ll make the difference. Having gone through it myself, I know that what you need is one highly qualified person to provide a focused, customized, and successful experience. Mara is that person. She is brilliant, sharp, thoughtful, and knows exactly what to do in order to get you into the law school of your dreams. Simply put: Mara is the real deal. If you are lucky enough to work with her, you will be incredibly proud of the way in which you are able to present yourself to the law schools on your list.
Mara is extremely professional and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the law school application process. Applying late in the cycle, I knew I would have to work quickly to get my application materials ready in time. Mara understood this and shared that urgency with me. She was able to get drafts back to me in record time and even worked through the weekends to ensure that I made all of my deadlines. However, the heightened pace never meant sacrificing quality. She was so detailed about my background and made sure that she understood every part of my academic and professional history in order to convey the most relevant and compelling information to the admissions committees in a way that would resonate with them.
Mara understands law, the language of the personal statement, and even when it meant more work for her, she always encouraged me to write every optional essay available in order to craft the best application possible. Her guidance is impeccable, she is always accessible, and she is excellent at helping to focus the direction of an essay all while ensuring one’s words, work, and personal voice shine through. She is also definitive when it counts. Questions about the personal statement, diversity statements, optional essays, scholarships, and school selection were all answered in thoughtful ways that truly helped shape my understanding of the process and what to look for when choosing a program. From the very first moment to the last, she customized the experience to fit my goals and always made it clear how much she cared about my journey during this process (and even beyond)!
Additionally, and perhaps most impressively, her optimism is special. There will always be someone during the application process who will tell you that your LSAT score is too low or your dreams are too big, but Mara encourages those dreams and then helps you achieve them. While she remained realistic in telling me how competitive this year was going to be, she always approached every draft and conversation with support and positivity. I truly appreciated that during this process. With her help, I have already been accepted to a Tier 1 law school during a year in which they received more applications than any other year in the law school’s history and received multiple scholarship offers (including a full scholarship)- and I’m just at the beginning of hearing back from the schools to which I applied! Ultimately, I can’t say enough about the value that Mara adds and how fortunate I feel to have found her to navigate this process with me. She is exceptional and will make your law school application that much stronger- guaranteed."

I am so happy to have found Mara!
“I took a couple of years off between college and graduate school and was extremely anxious about my application. I was referred to Mara to get some guidance for this extremely pivotal move in my career. I am so happy to have found Mara! She helped me craft the perfect essay and was personable, professional, and responsive. Best of all was the quick turnaround time for my essay. I would recommend Mara to anyone seeking to get into a prestigious law school, or who wants the best essay and application guidance out there.”

I was drawn to Mara in the first place because I felt like she got me and my goals right away
“I am SO grateful for all the help Mara provided! I truly believe that I would not have received the acceptances that I did without her. Especially as someone who dreads writing tasks like those on law school apps, Mara’s comments on my writing were so valuable, and she really helped shape my essays in the most natural way. Mara was always there to answer my many questions and was so thorough in ensuring that every aspect of my application was as good as it could be. I was drawn to Mara in the first place because I felt like she got me and my goals right away, and I think that’s something she always kept in mind throughout the process. Thank you, Mara!.”

The Dean of Admissions said that my personal statement was excellent!

The ability to reach out to Mara at any point with questions was extremely helpful.
"Mara was incredible to work with! From the initial phone call, my worries and questions were all answered. When I began submitting my documents for review, the feedback was amazing. Not only were edits with comments made to my documents but they were reorganized in a manner that made them much easier to read. The ability to reach out to Mara at any point with questions was extremely helpful. I truly don't believe my application would be as strong as it is now if it hadn't been for the help and guidance Mara provided me!"

I could tell that she cared deeply about my story
"The most valuable part of working with Mara was the human component that she brought to reviewing my materials. I could tell that she cared deeply about my story and genuinely wanted to help me turn it into something great."

She also went above and beyond to provide feedback and make sure my questions were carefully answered
"I would highly recommend Mara's services to others applying. Not only was she timely, knowledgeable, and personable but she also went above and beyond to provide feedback and make sure my questions were carefully answered. All questions and document edits were returned to me within 6 hours, and if more time was needed for a particular document, (as I usually sent off all my documents at once) I was notified. Mara's response time is impeccable, and anyone who works with her can be certain they will not be waiting around for help on any portion of the process."

Her assistance on the scholarship essay was helpful and informative throughout
"My expectations were exceeded in working with Mara. When I first scheduled a consultation, I had less than a week to prepare my scholarship essay and had some vague ideas on what I should talk about. By the end of that call, Mara had already given me valuable insight on the law school admissions process, why the cycle had been so tough, and some good tips on negotiating scholarships. And her assistance on the scholarship essay was helpful and informative throughout. I was ultimately offered a full-ride to a T-10 school!"

Mara’s amazing. She helped me every step of the way
"Mara’s amazing. She helped me every step of the way, from start to finish. One other thing I love about Mara is that she doesn't sugarcoat things. She is straight to the point and won't make me have unrealistic hopes. Some people may prefer sugarcoating, but I'd rather hear the truth and find solutions for the best possible result. I thought my first draft of the personal statement was pretty good until I met Mara. The way she reworked it made me realize why I needed to hire a consultant."

Reach out to Mara. She'll get you where you're looking to go!
"When I was struggling to come up with a formula for writing my personal statement, I turned to Mara for help. I knew what I wanted to say but had no idea where, to begin with, such an important document. Mara worked with me to really emphasize my 'why' throughout my personal statement and later on in my diversity essays. It was so easy to work with her - she knew which questions to ask and immediately made me feel at ease. Much of my anxiety about writing my essays and applying to schools melted away as soon as I developed a plan with Mara, and she continued to work with me every step of the way. If you're like me and have big, lofty goals but aren't sure where to begin, reach out to Mara. She'll get you where you're looking to go!”
