Brigitte (my admissions counselor) and Kristen (my writing tutor) made the admissions process incredibly easy for me. Their knowledge of the process made what could have been an overwhelming process very straightforward. They let me push my essays in the directions that I wanted but provided helpful tips and feedback at all times. Their turnaround time was incredible and I was able to work at the pace I wanted. I applied to 15 schools and was accepted at 11, waitlisted at 3, and only rejected from 1. I could not have asked for a better cycle and could not have achieved the results that I did without Brigitte and Kristen's help!

I worked with Shamala Gallagher and Sam Kwak this cycle, and I couldn't have asked for a better team. Both were, without fail, quick to respond to emails and readily available for calls. With their help, I was admitted to multiple T-14s and T-20s, most of which offered major scholarships (ranging from 60% to full tuition).

Shamala gave consistently good guidance, and my essays were much stronger for it. Further, I always felt she genuinely cared about helping me succeed. I came into the cycle with a strong sense of what I wanted to write about, and Shamala's feedback helped me tell my story in a more effective way.

Sam was equally helpful. He is a tough judge who gives his honest opinion, which you should look for in an admissions consultant. Many times, he took issue with my essays and sent me back to the drawing board – and he was right to do so! My resume (which I thought was strong beforehand) ended up dramatically more professional and effective through his critiques.

7Sage isn't cheap, but law school admissions is competitive. For me, their service was worth the cost.

In sum, Shamala and Sam were great to work with, and I would encourage future applicants to request them without reservation. No one can guarantee you a successful cycle, but take it from someone who was in your shoes a year ago: you won’t go wrong with Shamala and Sam.

This past cycle I had the privilege of working with Dawn and Brigitte and I am so beyond grateful for their incredible guidance throughout the entirety of my law school admissions process. From the very beginning, they were supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me present the strongest application possible.

As a reverse splitter, I entered the admissions cycle feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to approach many aspects of the process. Dawn and Brigitte helped break everything down into manageable steps and walked me through the best strategy for each document and application component. The process always felt collaborative; they offered thoughtful, experienced advice while remaining completely open to my own ideas and perspective.

What stood out most to me was how intentional they were about making sure my application truly reflected who I am as an individual. Rather than simply checking boxes, they took the time to understand my experiences, goals, and voice. They reassured me throughout the cycle that I was a strong candidate for many of the schools on my list, which gave me a great deal of confidence during an otherwise stressful process.

Their attention to detail was invaluable. They caught nuances in application wording that I never would have recognized on my own and consistently encouraged me to expand on experiences and themes that ultimately strengthened my essays. Throughout the entire cycle, they regularly checked in on my progress and were always available to answer questions or provide guidance.

Thanks to their guidance and constant encouragement throughout this process, this fall I will be attending one of the top law schools on my list with a scholarship. I could not be more pleased with how my admissions cycle turned out and I am incredibly grateful for their help. I would highly recommend their services to anyone navigating the admissions process.

This cycle, I worked closely with Kory Hawkins and Shamala Gallagher. I had a wonderful experience with both of them.

 

From brainstorming through drafting, reviewing, and finalizing my essays, Shamala played a key role in helping me select and refine my story. Shamala didn’t write anything for me; rather, her guidance and feedback assisted me in identifying and rewriting components that weren’t working. The end result was exactly what I wanted: the strongest possible iteration of my essays, written in my voice, telling a story that was not only authentic but felt personally meaningful, like a deep and intimate snapshot of who I am. Also, Shamala is just a clever, fun person to work with. I highly recommend her!

 

Kory’s feedback was critical both in writing my essays but also to the entire admissions process. He acted as an expert minesweeper, guiding me through the treacherous terrain of essay content, successfully leading me to avoid risky topics while emphasizing my most impactful experiences. In approaching the broader admissions process, his advice helped my manage my expectations in an extremely competitive cycle, focusing on realistic but still attainable stretch goals. Ultimately, his past experience as an admissions officer at Columbia played a key role in preparing me for the interview and securing an offer.

 

As a second-year re-applicant, I saw the 7Sage difference – this year I received multiple admits from T14 schools and a full-ride offer from a T20 school, none of which I received last year. Nothing changed EXCEPT I rewrote my essays with Kory and Shamala in my corner, backing me up. I have nothing but gratitude to them for helping me refine my story and secure admission to one of the best law schools in the country.

I worked closely with Shamala and Brigitte, and both were incredible—very responsive, flexible and generous with their time, and I’m so grateful for their support throughout this entire process. I came into the admissions cycle as a splitter with a lower LSAT score, so I knew my essays needed to be as strong as possible. Shamala helped me craft polished, authentic essays that truly reflected my story and strengths, often through multiple rounds of revisions.

As the first person in my family to go to law school, I was unfamiliar with many parts of the admissions journey. Brigitte was incredibly helpful in explaining the behind-the-scenes aspects of what admissions committees are really looking for and gave me so much clarity and confidence throughout the process. Her guidance was especially valuable when it came to interview preparation and understanding things like scholarships, waitlists, and strategy overall.

Thanks to their guidance, I received offers from multiple T14 law schools and will be attending a T4 school this August. I would absolutely recommend 7Sage Admissions to anyone looking for personalized support which can really help you send out the best possible version of your application.

This cycle, I worked with Daniel Ryu and Jennifer Kott. I could not recommend both of them enough! Daniel helped me to write my essays, and he was incredibly thorough with his recommendations and brainstorming help. He was also very quick with his responses- he would get edits back to be within a day, and often was able to hop on a call within an hour of me asking. He was truly essential to my writing process. We did so many brainstorming sessions and I am so happy with the way my story came together! Jennifer was also extremely helpful in this process in providing an admissions-standpoint view on my essays as well as the rest of my file. She was very quick in responding to my questions and made many reviews on my many essays. This team was an essential part of my application process and gave me the results I wanted-- attending UVA as a kjd!

I worked with Shamala Gallagher as my writing tutor and I couldn't be happier with the support she gave me throughout the admissions process. Not only is she a lovely human being, she is also an incredibly talented writer! She helped me immensely with my personal statement; without her I wouldn't have known where to start! Shamala was extremely helpful with brainstorming the story I wanted to tell through my personal statement, while also making sure everything was my own original writing. She was always willing to meet with me to discuss my ideas, review essays, and revise revise REVISE. For each individual school she made sure to take into account the big picture and the story I was telling through my essays. I am almost certain that I wouldn't have gotten into the law school I will be attending this fall without Shamala's guidance! 10/10

This cycle, I worked with Dawn Corrigan and Susan Cersovsky and I could not be more pleased with the expert advice and help they provided me.

I came into the cycle as a huge splitter (sub 3.3 GPA), and I knew I needed perfect essays to have a shot at the top schools. For this reason, and because 7Sage offers dedicated writing consultants in addition to experienced admissions consultants, I chose to work with 7Sage over several other consulting groups.

Dawn and I worked together on each of the most important documents (personal statement, perspective statement, resume, various C+F addenda), going through multiple rounds of review and revision until each document was perfect. I so appreciated her quick and thoughtful feedback throughout!

Moreover, it was incredibly helpful to hear from Susan about what admissions officers are looking for and how they read applications; I was able to incorporate her advice throughout my essays as well.

This fall, I am attending a T-14 with a nearly 2/3rd's tuition scholarship. I was also offered admission to two T-20 law schools.

Thanks again, Dawn and Susan - you guys are the truly the best! I am so grateful to have worked with you this year, and I would 100% recommend your services to others!

I had a great experience working with Daniel Ryu as my law school admissions writer. From the start, Daniel took the time to understand my perspective and goals going into law school. While writing my essay, I felt that he had a strong grasp of my motivation for law school and helped me tell a compelling narrative. He also pushed me through multiple rounds of revisions, which was difficult, but each time I could tell my essay had gotten better. Thanks to Daniel's guidance, I feel confident that I maximized my narrative for admissions. I received multiple law school acceptances with substantial scholarship offers. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, invested writing partner through this process.

As an applicant with C&F concerns, I was convinced to use application counseling to better navigate the specific considerations that come with C&F. Though I believe that my writer did a great job proofreading my work and assisting me with brainstorming topics for my various essays, I feel as though I lacked a truly cohesive and all-encompassing application strategy that took into account my unique candidacy and my college experiences. Additionally, I feel as though I did not gain much specific insight into this year's application cycle and its nuances. I am ultimately very happy with the school I am going to, but I am not sure that paying the significant sum of money that comes with being a 7Sage client significantly changed my cycle results or gave me significantly more insight into the law school admissions process.

I am so grateful that I decided to get assistance from 7Sage admission consultants. I had Brian Booker (writing consultant) and Josh Brooks (admissions). Both consultants were extremely kind, responsive, and incredible at making a stressful cycle manageable. Brian is such an incredible person to brainstorm ideas with and has an amazing ability to help transform drafts into a product I was so proud of (without feeling that my voice was ever lost). Josh was always available to answer my constant questions about the process and provided invaluable insight into how admissions boards view applications. I had slightly below average LSAT scores for the T-14s and was accepted by two T-14 schools! I really cannot recommend this service enough and these consultants in particular.

I worked with Jennifer Kott (admissions) and Daniel Castro (writing) for the 2025-2026 cycle! I am so incredibly grateful for all the support and guidance they provided throughout the entire 8 months -- at the start of it all, I was deeply insecure about my chances, which hindered my writing. Jennifer helped me strategize and shape my applications, while Daniel guided me to think more deeply and bring out my story. Both consultants were always quick to respond to my questions, everything from the initial planning stages in the summer to my scholarship packages in early March. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable about the schools and (especially) their locations -- she's recommended so many places for me to try around the two T6s I'm choosing between. Daniel is super precise and I was always grateful for his comments on my essays, which helped me dig deeper into my reasoning and sharpen my answers for different supplementals. Another note: having their support and guidance meant the world to me, as I was also studying for the September LSAT and working full-time during the cycle.

Lastly, shoutout to Jonathan Gharraie (who I initially worked with) as well for helping me with my personal statement!!

I highly recommend working with Kristen Gleason as a writer! I came into the applications process very nervous and uncertain of the direction I wanted to go in, and Kristen was absolutely invaluable in keeping me grounded and helping me navigate the writing process. She was very kind and supportive and, while I was still always in the driver's seat, she wasn't afraid to tell me if my ideas wouldn't help my application in a broader sense or if my fears were unfounded. I would absolutely work with Kristen all over again.

I greatly outperformed my stats this cycle. Out of the 5 schools I chose as "7Sage schools" in my package (all T14s), I was accepted into 3 of them (two of which are T6s!) and used similar materials to what I crafted with Kristen's help to get into 3 additional schools (2 T14 and 1 T20).

I worked with Christina Wood and Dr. Samuel Riley on my law school applications, and I’m really grateful for their help.

I reached out at the end of October on a tight timeline, and within about a month, we had completed all of my essays for at least one school. Christina was incredibly responsive. Even when I sent drafts late at night, she consistently turned them around within one or two days with thoughtful, detailed feedback. At one point, I started doubting my overall direction and questioning whether my essays were working. She was patient and steady during that period, helping me work through revisions in a focused way.

Dr. Riley was also very supportive throughout the process. As a former admissions officer, he brought a helpful perspective in assessing my application as a whole. With his feedback, I was able to see more clearly where my strengths were and where I needed to improve. In our review sessions, his feedback was direct but constructive, and it strengthened both my writing and my confidence in the overall application.

Overall, they provided both structure and accountability at a time when I really needed it. As someone who had been out of an academic environment for a while, I appreciated having experienced, thoughtful people guiding me through each step. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone applying to competitive programs.

Thank you very much!

I worked with Meghann Banacki as my admissions consultant and Willie Fitzgerald as my writing consultant. These two were both extremely helpful, and impactful on my admissions process.

I made a late pivot in deciding to go to law school, so I felt like I was behind the 8 ball in the process. Meghann helped me better understand everything that goes into the process, as well as assure me that I am perfectly on track with admissions. I had no clue where I should be applying whatsoever, or what LSAT score I needed to be competitive at my top choice. Meghann was beyond helpful in guiding me through the process.

At the start of this process, I was not the best writer. Thanks to Willie, by the end of the process I genuinely feel like my writing skills drastically improved. He was so helpful not only with my personal statements in getting my narrative across, but also with all of the supplemental essays.

I do not think that I would have gotten into my top choice without the help of Willie and Meghann.

Thank you very much! Best of luck in law school!

I consider myself a strong writer and good time manager so I was on the fence about admissions consulting - boy, was I glad that I decided to go through with it! I was admitted to T14 schools with more news coming.

I worked with Rebecca Spiegel and Jennifer Kott. Becca and I met every week. It was truly so nice to have a second set of eyes to help polish my narrative. I liked that she let me drive while still providing incredible feedback and helping me tell my story effectively in a way that was still me. Her expertise made it feel like I had a second admissions consultant and, thanks to her, I was able to submit my essays confident and worry-free.

Jennifer provided me additional peace of mind throughout the process. Whether it was helping me form the timeline for my submissions, talking through interview questions, figuring out which schools were the right fit, and even drafting emails to the adcom, she helped me feel that I was on track and doubt-free. You could tell that she's been operating in this world for a while!

Both Becca and Jennifer were responsive, warm, and accommodating to my schedule. Their help provided me peace of mind throughout the process since I knew that I had submitted the best packet possible. I recommend 7Sage to anyone no matter where they are in life or the application process.

When I was starting this process, I was very unsure about whether or not I wanted to get admissions consulting. I heard so many mixed reviews and spent so much time researching various consultants online. I ended up going with 7Sage and I do not think that I could have found it to be more worth it.

I was a huge super-splitter with a GPA below median for almost every school on my list, and because of this I became increasingly worried that I wasn't going to get into any of my top choices for schools. I was assigned to work with Kristen Gleason and Elizabeth Cavallari and right from the jump they were steadfast and efficient. We had multiple long phone calls, email chains back and forth, which they both responded very quickly in, and essay draft reviews. They helped me curate probably the best piece of writing that I have ever produced and as of a couple of weeks ago I was admitted and will be attending my top law school choice. Four months ago I was having trouble imagining myself at any of my top choices with the statistics that I had, but with the unwavering support and assistance from both Kristen and Elizabeth, I not only made it through the process, but I also couldn't be more satisfied with the results.

If admissions consulting is something that you are considering, specifically 7Sage, I fully and whole-heartedly give my 100% recommendation.

I don't know what I would have done without my mock application review and admissions counseling from 7sage, particularly Jennifer Kott. The three admissions counselors who reviewed my application gave me game-changing (and life-saving) feedback, both big and small - from tiny application details that mattered more than I realized, to resume-tidying, to large conceptual reflections on my personal statement that helped me shape it into an essay I feel really proud of. Jennifer Kott is incredible. She met with me to walk me through the feedback and coach me on next steps. She was warm, brilliant, reassuring, clear - truly the law school application lifeline that I'd been missing. Best money I've spent, hands-down. If you can afford it, do it.

Thank you so much, Rebecca!

I worked with Kristen Gleason and cannot even find the words to describe how helpful she was during my application cycle. When I first signed up for 7Sage consulting, I was on the verge of spiraling with my personal statement and falling behind self-imposed deadlines every other week. I was going through several drafts and did not have much confidence in any of them. From the first call with Kristen, I felt like the process wasn't as stressful and complicated as I had imagined. She quickly provided a calming presence and assured me that I could still apply early. Over the next few weeks, we exchanged emails (for which she responded very quickly), and she greatly helped me with everything from understanding prompts to brainstorming topics and later polishing essays. Looking back, 7Sage not only saved me a great deal of anxiety but also greatly increased my chances as a reverse splitter and KJD applicant to T14 schools.

At the time of writing this (early December), I have committed to a T14 and received a nearly half-tuition merit-aid scholarship. Overall, if you do decide to sign up for 7Sage and work with Kristen, I am confident you will have a great experience and significantly improve your chances :)

Amazing! Best of luck in the T14!

I worked with Tony Andrews and while I have not received any decisions yet, I can confidently say that without his help, I would have not been able to submit applications even remotely close in strength to the ones I was able to submit. FYI - I had Taj McCoy and some other admissions officers look over one application & they did indeed say "Very strong writing"!

I came to Tony with a personal statement that I had worked on for about a month or two (and felt pretty confident in), but in just 1-2 meetings, he asked me the right kinds of questions that pushed me to really dig deep into my story. He also reassured me on what might work and what might not (because honestly, that's the toughest part about all of this!) and I was able to rewrite my PS with greater confidence. In just a week and half, I was able to completely scrap my PS and write a much, much stronger one. Tony's feedback was invaluable to making my PS as compelling as it can be, not to mention how helpful his comments were on my other essays too.

Tony was also very responsive. I did not email him on the weekends so it might be different if you do, but the feedback turnaround was no more than 48 hours.

Ultimately, if I could work with Tony again, I would. 1000%. It was such an incredible pleasure working with him. Thank you Tony!!
