Admissions Terms of Service

Admissions Consulting

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide editorial guidance and strategic consultation ("Admissions Services") to help the Client with applications to a specified number of American or Canadian JD programs ("Covered Schools"), as selected by the Client at the time of purchase. In addition, 7Sage will provide post-application support on matters of waitlists, interviews, scholarship renegotiation, and school choice.

The Client will work with a Writing Consultant on their application documents. The Client will also receive one admissions diagnostic meeting with a former law school admissions officer, as well as any follow-up meetings that 7Sage deems necessary to the development of the Client's strategy. The Client will not receive feedback or advice from any other 7Sage consultants, with one exception: the Client is entitled to a review of their first completed application by a committee of 7Sage consultants (see Committee Review).

Covered Schools

7Sage and the Client will agree on a list of schools ("Covered Schools") for which 7Sage will provide Admissions Services. The number of Covered Schools shall not exceed the number of schools selected by the Client at the time of purchase. 7Sage will not be obligated to provide Admissions Services for additional law schools, although the Client may apply to additional law schools without 7Sage's help.

If 7Sage and the Client do not explicitly decide on the Client's Covered Schools, the Covered Schools shall consist of the first schools to which the Client receives 7Sage's help after the execution of this Agreement, up to the number of schools selected at purchase. "Help" with a particular school shall be defined as any advice, of any extent, that is specific to that school's application materials.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Editorial meetings with a Consultant to develop all documents the Client may need to write for their Applications, including the Client's personal statement, résumé, diversity statement, addenda, and school-specific application essays (the "Documents"), with the exception of any documents noted in the "What's Not Included" section of this agreement. Scheduled meetings will range from 30 minutes to one hour, unless 7Sage determines a longer meeting is necessary. Editorial meetings shall not exceed three per week, unless 7Sage determines it is necessary.
Incidental communications via email or electronic message between meetings, such as sharing marked drafts, clarifying feedback, or coordinating next steps. 7Sage will respond to such communications within two business days.
Strategic consultation about the Client's choice of Covered Schools, timing of submissions, and other matters related to the Client's Applications
One admissions diagnostic meeting with a former law school admissions officer, plus any follow-up meetings 7Sage deems necessary to the development of the Client's strategy
Editorial guidance on correspondence with law school admissions officers
Review of the Client's first completed application by a committee of 7Sage consultants (see Committee Review)
Review of Client's Applications
Interview preparation
Waitlist strategy and editorial guidance on letters of continuing interest
Strategic and editorial help on negotiating financial aid with law schools to which the Client was admitted

Committee Review

The Client is entitled to one review of their first completed application by a committee of 7Sage consultants who are not assigned to work directly with that Client. The committee will provide feedback on the Client's application at this time, but only at this time.

No U-Turns on Documents

After we've reviewed a document three times, we won't consider substantial changes to the topic or framing of the document that significantly exceed our recommended changes.

Time Period

Admissions Consulting is intended to cover the Client's selected number of applications in a single admissions cycle as well as post-application support unless the Client Delays.

The Admissions Services shall end as soon as any of the following events occur:

The last day elapses of the August following the Client's first application to a Covered School
Eighteen months elapse after the Client begins to use the Admissions Services, unless the Client Delays (see Delays)
Three years elapse after the Client purchases the Admissions Services

Essay Workshop

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide one round of feedback ("Admissions Services") via phone or video on one essay or other law school admissions document of 1,200 words or fewer.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

One 45-minute conversation about one application document, by phone or video, with one consultant

Time Period

If you don't send us a draft of your admissions document within one year, your Essay Workshop package expires.

Unlimited Edits

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide multiple rounds of feedback ("Admissions Services"), via phone, video, or email on one essay or other law school admissions document of 1,200 words or fewer. Specifically, we will work with you on one version of the selected document. We will not help with creating multiple versions of the same document for different schools.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Meetings by phone or video call to discuss one version of the selected law school admissions document
Asynchronous editorial feedback on the selected law school admissions document

Time Period

We will provide Admissions Services for a period of up to two months, beginning on the day you send us your draft. If you don't send us a draft of your admissions document within one year, your Unlimited Edit expires.

Office Hours

Scope of Service

A 7Sage consultant will meet with you via Google Meet (or, if you request, a phone call) for one 30-minute appointment to discuss your admissions questions ("Admissions Services").

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

One 30-minute conversation about your admissions questions

This package does not come with written follow-ups, nor is it suitable for document review.

Time Period

You will select a timeslot when you book. If you miss or are more than 10 minutes late to the meeting, we will cancel the meeting without refund.

Mock Application Review / Application Autopsy

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide strategic consultation and editorial guidance to help the Client with one application to one American or Canadian JD program. The Admissions Services will consist of written comments and a rating from three 7Sage consultants, a summary of our recommendations, and one 30-minute follow-up call.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Written comments and a rating from three 7Sage consultants on the submitted application, including the Client's personal statement, résumé, diversity statement, addenda, and school-specific essays, subject to other terms of this agreement
After the review, we guarantee one follow-up call of at least 30 minutes if you request such a phone call and if you want to speak for 30 minutes

Time Period

The Mock Application Review / Application Autopsy can only be used within the admissions cycle for which it was purchased. If the Client does not send us an application for review within the admissions cycle for which the Client purchased it, the service will expire on the last day of August of that admissions cycle.

For example, if you purchase a Mock Application Review in October 2025 with the intention of submitting your application during the 2025–2026 admissions season, it will expire on August 31, 2026.

You may also purchase this service prior to an admissions cycle during which you intend to use it.

7Sage will render its review within four business days of receiving the Client's submitted materials.

Hourly Consulting

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide Admissions Services in the form of strategic consultation and/or editorial guidance by the hour. We'll track our time to the nearest minute and let you know how much time you have left after each interaction.

After your hourly purchase, you'll receive a welcome email. When you reply, a 7Sage manager will read over your response in order to pair you with a consultant. This reading time is not on the clock. All of your consultant's work time, however, is on the clock, including the time they spend reading your initial email.

Example: You want help with a character and fitness issue. You send us an explanation of a disciplinary incident and ask what to do. A 7Sage manager reads over your email and pairs you with Conny Consultant. This pairing process does not count against your time. After you've been paired, Conny will start the clock as she reads your initial email and formulates a response.

We ask all new clients for a résumé. Unless you ask for feedback on your résumé, though, we'll only take a minute or two to glance over it. This orients us without taking much of your time.

We will not perform written feedback on a new document if you don't have at least 45 minutes left.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Strategic consultation about the Client's choice of schools, timing of submissions, and other matters related to the Client's applications
Strategic guidance on any Documents the Client may need to write for their applications, subject to other terms of this agreement

Time Period

Hourly consulting expires one year after it was purchased. For the elimination of doubt, we will no longer be obligated to perform any further Admissions Services a year after your purchase.

After-the-App Support

Scope of Service

7Sage will provide Admissions Services in the form of strategic and editorial guidance on interview preparation, waitlist strategy, letters of continuing interest, financial aid and scholarship negotiation, school selection, and correspondence with law school admissions officers, for up to five Covered Schools.

Enumeration of Admissions Services

7Sage's Admissions Services will consist of the following:

Editorial guidance on correspondence with law school admissions officers to a Covered School after the submission of an application to that school
Interview preparation
Waitlist strategy and editorial guidance on letters of continuing interest
Strategic and editorial help on negotiating financial aid with law schools to which the Client was admitted

Time Period

After-the-App Support ends on the last day of the August that follows the Client's purchase. The Client may not Delay.

Example 1: You purchase After-the-App Support in October of 2023 and work with your consultants on and off from February 2024, when your results start rolling in, to April 2024, when you put down your seat deposit. Your Admissions Services expire on August 31, 2024.

Example 2: You purchase After-the-App Support in October of 2023, but come March, you have not gotten into any schools you want to go to. You may not delay 7Sage's Admissions Services to the following cycle; your After-the-App package will still expire on August 31, 2024.

General Terms

What's Not Included

None of 7Sage's Admissions Services include any of the following:

Writing original content or preparing application Documents on behalf of the Client
Fact-checking the Client's documents
Performing research for the Client
Editorial work on Documents that have been edited or critiqued by a third party after the Admissions Services commence
Editing letters of recommendation (although 7Sage will provide advice about recommendations)
Editorial work on any Document more than 500 percent longer than a school's stated length guideline
Logging onto LSAC's website or any other website with the Client's credentials
Assistance on applications to joint-degree or dual-degree ("Concurrent Degree") programs, such as MBA or LLM programs. (If the Client applies to a Concurrent Degree program, 7Sage will only help with the JD application. 7Sage will not help the Client write or adapt JD essays for use in a Concurrent Degree application.)
Assistance on applications to programs available only to admitted students, such as Georgetown's Global Law Scholars Program
Help on FAFSA applications
Direct interaction with law school admissions offices, financial aid offices, student organizations, or visa authorities on the Client's behalf
Help on LSAT accommodation requests
Conversations with the Client's parents or relatives, or with anyone other than the Client
Feedback on documents containing any text generated by ChatGPT or other AI-based programs

Errors and Accuracy

7Sage provides resources to help the Client check their Documents and application forms for errors before submission, including automated proofreading tools and checklists. These resources are aids, not guarantees. 7Sage does not warrant that any Document or application form is free of typographical, grammatical, formatting, or factual errors, and 7Sage does not fact-check the Client's Documents. It is the Client's responsibility to ensure that everything they submit to a law school is accurate, complete, and free of errors.

Human summary: We'll give you tools to catch typos, but what you submit is on you. Check everything again yourself before you hit submit.

Finished Documents

A Document is Finalized when the Client and 7Sage agree that it is finished, or when the Client submits an application containing it, whichever comes first. 7Sage may help the Client tailor a Finalized Document to a Covered School but will not otherwise replace or perform Admissions Services on the Finalized Document.

Example 1: The Client Finalizes a three-page personal statement for School A. The Client also wants to apply to School B, which requires two-page personal statements. 7Sage shall help the Client produce a two-page version of her personal statement.

Example 2: The Client Finalizes a personal statement for School A but wants to tailor it to School B. 7Sage shall help the Client add a school-specific paragraph for School B.

Example 3: The Client Finalizes a personal statement about her experience as a legal intern but later decides that she really wants to write about bird watching. 7Sage shall not be obligated to help the Client write a new personal statement about bird watching.

Human summary: When we both agree that an essay is done, or once you've submitted it, it's finished. After that, we won't replace the essay or do any more edits on it unless the edits are necessary to tailor it for a given school.

Disengagement

For Admissions Consulting clients: If a Client Disengages, 7Sage shall not make Substantial Revisions to any Documents on which 7Sage has already performed Services. Substantial Revisions are changes to the content, structure, or framing of a Document. Correcting typographical, spelling, punctuation, or grammatical errors is not a Substantial Revision.

7Sage shall consider that a Client has Disengaged if (1) 7Sage has ever given the Client feedback or suggestions for at least one Document and (2) the Client has not sent 7Sage a new draft of ANY Document for 45 days or more.

Example 1: 7Sage sends the Client feedback on a personal statement. The Client does not communicate to 7Sage for 45 days except to write, "Thanks, I'll think about it."

The Client has Disengaged. 7Sage will correct errors in the personal statement but won't otherwise revise it or help the Client write a new one.

Example 2: 7Sage sends the Client feedback on a personal statement. The Client does not respond to that email for 45 days but DOES send a draft of a diversity statement within 45 days.

The Client is still actively engaged. 7Sage shall help the Client complete both the personal statement and the diversity statement.

Human summary: If you stop working actively on your applications, we'll fix errors in documents we've already started, but we won't otherwise work on or replace them.

Delays

From time to time, a Client may decide to submit applications in a later admissions cycle than they originally intended.

A Client who has purchased Admissions Consulting may Delay 7Sage's Admissions Services at any point before the Client submits their first application to a Covered School. Once the Client has submitted an application to any Covered School, the Client may not Delay: 7Sage's Admissions Services cover a single admissions cycle and do not carry over to a later cycle after the Client has applied.

If the Client Delays Admissions Consulting, the Services shall end:

On the last day of the August that follows the Client's first application to a Covered School, OR
Eighteen months after the Client Resumes the Services, OR
Two and a half years after the Client purchases the Services.

In case of a Delay, the following conditions shall apply:

The Client shall inform 7Sage of their intention to Delay. Work on any Document in progress at the time of the Delay shall pause and resume when the Client Resumes.
The Client may not Resume Services until the June 1 that follows their decision to Delay, but may choose to Resume Services at any point after that June 1.
7Sage shall consider that the Client has Resumed the Services when, after Delaying, the Client next uses 7Sage's Services.
For the purposes of this agreement, the Client may only Delay once. A Client who has Resumed may not Delay again.
7Sage cannot guarantee that the Client will be paired with the same Consultant or Consultants when the Client Resumes.
If the Client is paying for their service on an installment plan, the Client must continue making payments according to their original payment schedule and may not delay those payments until the next cycle.
The Client cannot Resume the Service until they have paid their full balance.

Human summary: You can delay your admissions cycle at any point before you submit your first application, once. You can pick back up with us on June 1 of the following year. You might not have the same consultant when you come back, and if you're on a payment plan, your payments continue on schedule. Once you've applied, we can't carry your package into the next cycle.

Payment

The Client agrees to pay for 7Sage's Admissions Services in full, if the Client has not already done so, according to a schedule agreed upon by the Client and 7Sage (the "Payment Plan").

7Sage does not allow the Client to "downgrade" from the Admissions Consulting package to another package.

No-Shows and Late Cancellations

The Client agrees to provide at least 24 hours' notice before cancelling any meeting. If the Client misses two meetings without giving at least 24 hours' notice, we reserve the right to terminate the service without issuing a refund.

Essay Workshop clients who miss their scheduled meeting or fail to give 24 hours' notice before cancelling those meetings will forfeit their payment for the service and cannot reschedule.

Refunds

7Sage offers a qualified six-day refund policy. If the Client requests a refund within six days of payment, the Client shall be entitled to a full refund less $250 per hour of 7Sage's work time and less a 6% processing fee. For example, if we've spent half an hour with you, we can refund your purchase less $125 + 6% of the total cost for processing. The Client acknowledges that this refund policy will govern even if the Client encounters unforeseen circumstances.

From time to time, 7Sage may be sold out and offer potential Clients a spot on a Waitlist. If 7Sage has offered a consulting or editorial package from a Waitlist and the Client has purchased from said Waitlist, such purchase will not be eligible for any refund unless otherwise noted.

7Sage shall not be obligated to refund the Client if and because the Client is disappointed by the results of their Applications.

Human summary: You can ask for a refund within six days, but we'll charge you $250 per hour for any work we may have already done, plus a 6% processing fee.

Chargebacks

In the event that the Client initiates a chargeback dispute with their credit card issuer or financial institution regarding any payment made to 7Sage under the terms of this Agreement, 7Sage shall immediately terminate all services provided under this Agreement.

Termination

7Sage reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time if the Client misrepresents facts about themself, acts egregiously, becomes hostile, proves impossible to satisfy, maintains unreasonable expectations, or makes unreasonable demands despite 7Sage's good-faith efforts. In such cases, 7Sage shall refund the Client on a prorated basis.

Acknowledgments

The Client's LSAT scores, undergraduate GPA, professional background, disciplinary record, and many factors over which 7Sage has no control will constrain and affect the Client's chances of admission to law school. 7Sage makes no guarantee, either explicit or implicit, that the Client will be admitted to any particular law school.

Law school application requirements and the processes by which law schools admit applicants may change from year to year, and 7Sage may from time to time be unaware of such changes.

The application to Yale Law School asks if you received assistance in preparing your application. If the answer is "yes," Yale asks you to specify from whom you received the assistance, the nature of the assistance, and whether or not you paid for the assistance. Answering "yes" may impact your chances of acceptance to Yale.

Human summary: We'll do our best to help you, but some of this is out of our control. We don't guarantee that you'll get accepted anywhere.

Confidentiality

7Sage will keep the Client's Documents and personal information confidential. 7Sage editors and consultants may share the Client's Documents and information with other 7Sage editors and consultants. 7Sage may also share the Client's Documents with third-party service providers that 7Sage uses to deliver the Admissions Services.

Legal

Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed omitted and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Assignment

7Sage shall have the right, at its election, to assign this Agreement to any person, firm, or corporation, including all 7Sage employees, contractors, shareholders, parent entities, subsidiaries, and affiliates. The Client may not assign its rights under this Agreement under any circumstances.

Integration

This Agreement constitutes the sole Agreement of the parties hereto and correctly states the rights, duties, and obligations of each party. Any prior agreement, promises, negotiations, or representations between the parties not expressly stated in this document are not binding. All subsequent modifications shall be in writing and agreed to by both parties.

Indemnification

7Sage is not responsible for any loss, injury, claim, liability, or damage (including a rejection from any law school or a decrease in the Client's LSAT score) related to the Client's use of the Materials or Services. The Client agrees to protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless 7Sage, its affiliates, subsidiaries, parent entities, and partners, and each of their assigns, agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, contractors, and employees from and against any and all expenses, damages, claims, suits, actions, judgments, costs, and expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorney's fees), arising out of, or in any way connected with (1) any breach of this Agreement; and/or (2) any acts or omissions of the Client. In the event 7Sage expends any monies in an effort to enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Client shall reimburse 7Sage for all of the said costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees).

User Conduct

You agree to interact respectfully with others on the Site. You may not use our chat, forums, or any other communication tools to harass, spam, stalk, or send repetitive, unsolicited, or inappropriate messages to other users. 7Sage reserves the right to immediately suspend or terminate your account, without refund, if we determine you are abusing our communication tools or harassing other users.
