7Sage admissions is launching a new service, the Application Autopsy. Here's what it includes:

• Three of our admissions experts will blind-review your file under real life conditions. You'll get each of their assessments, plus a summary by the committee chair. : What did you do well? What was lacking?

• We'll tell you if, and how, we think you could do better with an R&R. Were you telling the right story? Was there a red flag you weren't aware of?

Here's what the overview page looks like:

An example of one of the three ballots:

In addition to the rating, three ballots, and summary, you'll also get a 45-minute follow-up meeting with one of our consultants to discuss improvements you can make next year. Sign up today with this link:

7Sage Admissions Committee is testing a new service -- the Application Autopsy. Here's part of what it looks like:

How to get a free Application Autopsy:

• Send us an application you submitted this year

• Tell us what your results were (where did you get in? where did you get rejected? are you on any waitlists?) by using our Admissions Tracker.

What you may get:

• Three of our admissions experts will blind-review your file under real life conditions. You'll get each of their assessments, plus a summary by the committee chair. : What did you do well? What was lacking?

• We'll tell you if, and how, we think you could do better with an R&R. Were you telling the right story? Was there a red flag you weren't aware of?

We're looking for some early feedback! If you'd like us to review your file, you can submit it here. We'll do free reviews of the first three files we receive. In exchange, I'll organize a meeting with you to discuss your experience and get some feedback.

Edit: Thanks for submitting, everyone! We got a flood of files. We'll have reviews of the first three that came in by the end of the week! Stay tuned for this to launch as an official offering.

The data is out! Our Admissions Predictor has gobbled up the freshly released data on 2025's LSAT and GPA medians.

Step on up, plug in your numbers, and see which schools you should consider targets, reaches, and safeties.

Some highlights from the new data:

Across the board, LSAT medians and GPA medians are up, as we predicted.

The average increase among T14 schools was less than lower-ranked schools. There's a sense that top schools have already have a glut of high-number candidates, and so are using increased application numbers to focus more on softs, like your work experience and application narrative.

Penn's LSAT median is a 173, up from a 172 last year.

Duke's increased from a 170 to a 171

Berkeley's GPA median increased from a 3.87 to a 3.92

UChicago has joined Yale, Stanford, Harvard, in the 174-median club.

WashU has clearly the highest medians, with a 175-3.96.

But remember that your numbers don't tell the whole story. In a competitive cycle, a strong narrative and strong essays are key. 7Sage Admissions has some great affordable resources for those looking to perfect their applications, from Essay Workshops with professional writers and Office Hours for strategy discussions with an admissions officer of your choice, to comprehensive consulting options. https://7sage.com/pricing/admissions

Want to know the most frequent mistakes law school applicants make in their personal statements? Join me tomorrow at 12PM ET for a free livestream where I review your essays and explain the pitfalls to avoid in your personal statement.

This 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.

Want to be the fly on the wall of an admissions room and hear how AOs really judge applications?

Join us as a committee of three top AOs (with combined years of experience at Stanford, Berkeley, Northwestern, and Notre Dame) review applications submitted by 7Sage subscribers.

Thursday, September 4th at noon ET! RSVP here: https://7sage.com/classes/evt_030rya8YhRXxg3CwiADQVi

And if you'd like us to consider reviewing your application, you can submit it here:

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.

Join 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.

Come 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.
