Admissions CoordinatorHave Dean Z read your personal statement -- for free! (Free T14 PS evaluation & Essay Workshop)
Hey applicants!
Next week, the 7Sage Podcast is going to have a very special guest: Michigan Law's famous "Dean Z," aka Sarah Zearfoss. For those of you who don't know, Dean Zearfoss is sort of Youtube-famous for her live evaluations of applications.
We're giving you a chance to have Dean Z read your application! Here's how it will work:
Submit your personal statement on this form: https://docs.superhuman.com/form/7Sage-Podcast-Personal-Statement-Read_dwM9U3ZPMk1
We'll pick three to send to Dean Z to discuss on next week's podcast episode.
If we pick you, you'll get a free Essay Workshop with a 7Sage Consultant
The catch: For maximum impartiality, we can only look at statements for people who aren't planning on applying to Michigan law this year.
Let me know if you have any questions! Please submit your essay by 5PM ET on Thursday, October 1st to be considered.
Hey applicants! On Tuesday, Alex, me, and the podcast team will be sitting down with Robert Schwartz, Dean of Admissions at UCLA Law. I know many of you are applying to UCLA and I would love to bring your questions to Rob on your behalf!
Post your question here!

Admissions CoordinatorMany schools just changed their application requirements!
On September 1st, over a hundred law schools announced updated application requirements. No need to rush to LSAC -- we have them all for you here!
https://7sage.com/admissions/application-requirements
Some initial takes:
Lots of schools are adding Why X essays
Lots of schools are adding what we're calling the "agreeable disagreement" essay that Stanford, Yale, and Columbia were trying out in the last few cycles.
Check them out! If something still looks like it's from last year, that's because that school is waiting until either September 15th, 30th, or October 1st or 15th to announce their new requirements.
Happy applying! And if you want to dive deeper on any of this, come visit us at 7Sage Admissions.
@NoNamed92 It's already over! But yes, limit one. You can come with a mess
@nid07 Can you email editors@7sage.com to report this issue? They should be able to help!
@SleepyElephant123 @adzballroom @SMRegalado @geekedup974 @salma. @KAH @msbesq @EllaC @julia @ellelit FYI!

Admissions CoordinatorBack for one day only -- the $99 Personal Statement Workshop Special.
Two weeks ago, we practically gave away 150+ Essay Workshops with our team of professional writers to help you brainstorm, outline, & revise a killer personal statement. Well, it was so popular that we decided to bring the deal back to give people who wouldn't ordinarily be able to access our best-in-class Admissions Services a chance to get some professional help.
How it works:
Get an Essay Workshop code here: XXXXX Limit one per student!
Once you get your code, you have 14 days to book an Essay Workshop here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/e207221f/appointment/86404424?appointmentTypeIds[]=86404424
When you book, you'll send us a draft of your personal statement (or other admissions document). We'll spend some time with it, then meet to guide you through improvements.
This is a limited time deal! We got flooded last time we offered this, so it's only going to be up for a short time today. Once we've hit capacity, we're closing it, and we can't guarantee this will open again!
Edit** That's all, folks!
Do you find yourself stuck between two answers? Are you applying without a "pre-law" background? The 7Sage Pre-Law Doctors have a prescription for you.
If you'd like us to answer your questions, dive into your analytics, and give you a big round of admissions advice, submit your questions here! If we pick you, we'll also give you some Admissions Services and three months of Live.
@EllaC Demand was twice as high as we were expecting, so I had to close it down early so that we could service everyone who signed up.
@msbesq The deal is over! We had twice as many people sign up as expected so we're spinning it down for now.
@tholomew You need to make the appointment within 14 days, but you can schedule it however far out that you want.
I'm going to pick files to send her on Friday!
