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.”
