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.

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.

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!!

Thank you!

Working with Jennifer Kott and Tony Andrews was one of the best decisions I made during my law school application journey. I’m incredibly grateful to have had the chance to work with both of them. Thanks to their support and guidance, I was admitted to my dream T4.

Jennifer Kott brought unmatched expertise and warmth to every stage. From day one, she was a steady, insightful presence—always quick to answer questions, offer strategic advice, and help me stay grounded. She truly took the time to understand my background and goals, and I can’t overstate how much it meant to have her in my corner. Jennifer was my biggest cheerleader through it all.

Tony Andrews was instrumental in helping me shape my narrative. He provided thoughtful, targeted edits that consistently felt right for each essay. More than just polishing my writing, Tony helped me uncover and articulate the deeper story behind my application. Beyond being a masterful editor, Tony was also kind, encouraging, and a genuine pleasure to work with throughout the process.

I wholeheartedly recommend choosing 7Sage and working with Jennifer and Tony. Their support was personal, professional, and profoundly impactful. I’m so thankful to have had them as my team!

When I started the application process, the personal statement and perspective statement felt quite intimidating because I always felt uncomfortable with narrative writing. After using 7Sage for LSAT Prep, I decided to purchase the Writing Consulting package and was paired with Daniel Castro, who played a pivotal role in my acceptance to five out of the nine T14 schools I applied to.

Daniel is an incredibly talented writer and storyteller who helped me pull out a cohesive narrative from my various work experiences and my time as an undergraduate student. He gave excellent and honest feedback on what points to emphasize and what details to omit. Beyond the personal statement and perspective statement, Daniel's insight was invaluable for the more complicated and specialized essays that some schools required. When it was time to submit my applications, I felt reassured that all of my materials were polished, and I was very happy with the story I shared.

I will be attending one of my dream schools this fall, and I strongly believe that I wouldn't have been able to accomplish such great results during a competitive cycle without the help of Daniel. I highly recommend 7Sage for anyone who needs guidance with their written materials!

In hindsight, I just can't imagine this process without Meghann Banacki. She is a writer, advisor, and coach of the very highest caliber.

Meghann met my (very unusual) situation with astounding care, not just as a consultant but as a trusted collaborator. She kept me focused but flexible, knowing when to push me and when to let my writing wander.

Meghann consistently went above and beyond, putting in the time to consider each of my essays in granular detail. But she also gently helped me see when it was time to hit "submit." During a process that can be tense and confusing, Meghann always put my interests first.

The result: Acceptances in the T3 and scholarship awards across much of the T14.

Meghann is simply the best. I will forever be grateful to her for making such a decisive positive impact on my life.

I would give six stars on this review if I could. Working with Ethan and Brigitte was probably the best thing that could have happened for my application. They were responsive, insightful, and compassionate as they allayed any concerns I had about my application. Where they truly shined was in refining my personal statement and optionals. Ethan's expertise helped me cut through the writer's block I had from time-to-time and to perfect the narrative beats and rhetoric I used to tell my story, and Brigitte's knowledge of the admissions process ensured that my background came together cohesively despite how disparate my experiences were.

Because of this, I was able to get into 10 schools and 9 T14-caliber schools (including Harvard, Cornell, Duke, and NYU). I will be attending Columbia with a full-tuition Hamilton Fellowship in the fall. Going to law school for free would not have been possible without them. They are worth every penny, and I cannot recommend them enough.

Working with Brigitte and Patrick was truly one of the best decisions I made during the law school application process. They were incredibly patient, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. I always felt like I had people in my corner who genuinely cared about my success.

Brigitte provided great insights that helped me refine my approach to my application materials, while Patrick helped me transform my essays with thoughtful, insightful feedback that pushed me to become a stronger writer not just for my applications, but in general. His encouragement and perspective made a huge difference.

Thanks to their guidance, I’ll be attending one of my dream law schools this fall. I truly could not have done it without them and would recommend 7Sage to anyone who is applying to law school!

As a second-time applicant, Daniel Ryu's help with the application process made a huge difference in the outcome of my cycle this time around. Since my test scores weren't the strongest, I believe Daniel helped me write my way into law school. He helped me bring my personal statement, addendums, and optional essays to the next level, which made all the difference in the current cycle. Perhaps most importantly, Daniel was a kind, optimistic and encouraging guide throughout the whole application process. He was also very responsive and easy to talk to. It was comforting to have a reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable guide on my side. He just gets it. Having gone through this cycle with him, I highly recommend Daniel Ryu's help!

I feel so lucky to have been paired with Daniel Ryu (writer) and Samuel Riley (consultant) for my law school cycle. They are truly my dream team, and I could not have asked for a better pair.

Daniel is literally perfect. He is so timely and sharp, and most importantly, so kind and supportive. I trusted his opinion on every aspect of my application. I feel like Daniel had the ability to take the initial brain dump I gave him for my personal and diversity statements and help me focus on the key elements that truly crafted my story. He is also genuinely caring, and you can tell he puts time and effort into each round of edits (but still manages to turn over edits so quickly). He genuinely wants the absolute best for you, it doesn't feel like a transactional relationship at all.

Sam was also the best. He’s so warm, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable about every aspect of the law school admissions process. I felt so lucky to have him in my corner. During our early calls, I asked him back-to-back questions about the behind the scenes of admissions process and different scenarios. I always walked away with so much more context and confidence. During the months I was crafting my application, I had bi-weekly calls with Sam, and it was so incredibly helpful to chat through my thoughts. He is so patient and I felt supported every step of the way.

Should I choose to try and do transfer apps after my 1L year, I would only want Daniel and Sam again. They were the best.

I am so grateful to Dawn Corrigan for her help during this admissions cycle. I originally expected to apply during the 2025-26 cycle, but an unexpectedly high first LSAT score led me to apply for the current cycle. I was already anxious that I was "too late" when I met with Dawn at the beginning of my application-writing process for an Essay Workshop. I scheduled the workshop because I was unsure whether the personal statement I was working on would work better as a supplemental/diversity statement. Dawn agreed that this was the case, but conveyed this to me in a way that made me much less worried about the prospect of starting a personal statement from scratch. She helped me workshop personal statement ideas so that I would leave with a solid notion of where I was going with the essay. Likewise, we stayed in touch after my workshop, and she was happy to answer any questions about the application process that I had. Both in the workshop and email communications, Dawn has always been kind and giving, doing more than was even required of her just because she cares.

I am happy to say that I was accepted to 5 of the 8 law schools to which I applied (I am still waiting to hear from the other 3, so I have only received acceptances)! Of those 5 schools, I received generous scholarships to most, including several full tuition or institutional maximum scholarships. I genuinely could not have gotten through this process without Dawn and 7Sage, and I cannot thank them enough for it.

I am very grateful for the guidance of Jennifer Kott and Daniel Castro throughout the 2024-25 application cycle. Daniel was very helpful with crafting a cohesive application narrative and I super appreciated Jennifer’s wisdom from the admissions counselor’s perspective. Her supportive advice and perspective was seriously invaluable! With their help, I received multiple T-14 acceptances including one at a T-4 program with a scholarship. I am very happy that I found 7Sage for both LSAT studying and application help. I believe that the results 7Sage helped me achieve more than paid off the investment of the program. I would recommend 7Sage to anyone looking to apply to law school!

I had an amazing experience working with both Tony Andrews and Selene Steelman on my applications and would strongly recommend their services. I have been very fortunate to receive acceptances and scholarships to four t-14 schools this cycle and will begin at UVA in the fall. As a splitter applicant, I believe that crafting a creative and well-written narrative in my essays helped my application stand out amidst this competitive cycle. Tony helped immensely in talking through ideas and providing guidance on the several rounds of drafts in my personal statement and additional essays. He provided very clear feedback and suggestions and was very available to help. Working on admissions strategy with Selene also was very helpful in deciding how to highlight various aspects of my application. I felt very supported feeling like all my application questions were answered by her. Due to their kind help, I sent my applications feeling very confident in my essays and the strength of my application!

I am very fortunate to receive 7 Top-14 Acceptances out of 10 total schools I applied to, thanks to the 7Sage admissions package. I am heading to HLS in the fall, my top choice school. (I applied during the 2024-25 application cycle for the law school class of 2028.) Conor Ahern and Jennifer Kott were very helpful in guiding me throughout the application process. They helped me narrow down which parts of my story to highlight for different schools, and they also helped me refine my language, decide on key details to accentuate my narrative & my legal interests. I also want to highlight that 7Sage was the most affordable out of comparable and similarly famous admissions consulting packages that are known in this area. Thank you to 7Sage for helping me achieve my dreams!

I worked with Kristen Gleason throughout the 2028 law school cycle, and I can't say enough positive things about my experience! I am so grateful for her guidance in drafting my various essays, making sure that I felt confident in every word I wrote. At times where I struggled to craft my narrative, Kristen was immensely helpful in talking things through with me. She was very available whenever I had a question and always returned essays with prompt and thoughtful edits. I will be starting at HLS in the fall, and I am so appreciative of the effort she put into making sure I was confident in my application. Thank you so much, Kristen!
