We're particularly interested in reviewing fuller applications (with at least a PS and resume.) We're also happy to review previously used apps from potential reapplicants.

Admissions CoordinatorJoin me Friday at 12ET for a free admissions live class on what your personal statement needs to accomplish. I'll also be live-reacting to personal statements users have submitted to teach you the tips and tricks that make admissions officers fall in love.
Hey there! I'm doing a free live stream of personal statement reviews this week. If you'd like me to respond to yours, you can submit it!

Admissions CoordinatorThis Thursday at 8PM I'm opening the floodgates and showing off some of the most successful law school applications from last year. I'll be breaking down personal statements from applicants who beat their numbers and got into top schools below at least one median.
These aren't "the best personal statements I've seen (from people who had great numbers anyway.)" These are real essays that made a measurable difference for people who worked with 7Sage last year. Some of their approaches might surprise you!
Join me live this Thursday, September 18th at 8PM ET
I'm also going to be spending part of the hour reviewing personal statements submitted by you. If you'd like me to consider giving your personal statement draft a free live review on air, you can submit it here.
Hey Peter! If you're not using AI to write your essays, then I wouldn't worry about it. I've seen some attempts to do this, and it's very obvious when people are using AI tools on these statements -- they're full of puffy statements that could be true about any applicant or any school. What you need to write are essays that capture your unique voice, that don't sound "perfect," and which specifically talk about experiences and motivations that cannot be extrapolated by an LLM. Having sat with 7Sage admissions officers as they've evaluated hundreds of applications, I can tell you they're hunting for very specific things -- generating your essays with AI, or worrying about them mistakenly thinking that, isn't the real assignment here. Make sure your essays are strong, specific, and fit your overall application strategy, then fire away.

Admissions CoordinatorCome spend an hour with me, the coordinator of 7Sage's law admissions programs, as I review applications that under (and over!) performed and discuss the best application strategies for 2025.
The class is this Friday, August 8th at 12PM ET.

You should almost never cancel your first score! In general, I would only cancel scores when something went WRONG during the test and you would explain why you canceled in an addendum
