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!

As I've been out of school for a few years, I would have been at a loss with the law school admissions process if not for 7Sage! It was a pleasure working with Kristen Gleason and Sam Riley during this competitive application cycle. They worked with my timeline and accommodated my busy life and schedule. Through my research, I found that 7Sage Admissions Consulting offered the best value, and I'm very happy with how the cycle turned out for me!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kristen Gleason in the 2028 law school cycle. Kristen was an incredible help throughout the entire process. I was thoroughly impressed by both her attention to detail and larger thematic guidance on my written materials. Prompt responses and feedback allowed me to apply early and stay true to my planned timeline.

My results this cycle speak for themselves. Despite having stats below the medians for most T-14 schools, I received admission offers from several, including Michigan and UVA, with solid scholarships. I absolutely recommend working with 7Sage and, in particular, Kristen if possible.

I am writing this review as my cycle comes to a close, with four T14 acceptances so far, and I credit a large part of that to my 7Sage editor, Hope Kerpelman. I applied during the 2024-25 cycle and used the 7Sage unlimited edits package for my PS. For context, I am a non-traditional applicant and a splitter, with a GPA well below medians, but very niche work experience. I knew that my PS would not only have to be well-written, but also clearly tell my story, my strong 'why law,' and explain 'why now,' since I am older. I was matched with Hope in early Sept and we had my PS finalized by mid October.

Hope was amazing. We had an intro call where I explained the essence of I wanted to say in my PS, and she suggested I write up a few possible anecdotes through which to frame the essay. Once we chose one, I wrote the rest of the essay with no page limits (and very little structure). Hope went back and forth with me as many times as I wanted and her responses were always super quick and helpful. I am generally someone who gets possessive about my writing, but her edits drew on my writing to improve it. She also kept anything I was adamant about including, even when we had to cut it down by a huge amount. Without Hope's work, I truly do not think my PS would be nearly as strong as it is. And given I had to overcome my stats, I believe this has been very important to my acceptances. Highly recommend 7Sage and Hope specifically!

Writing this review in hopes of helping someone decide which admission service to go with. For some context, I was a reverse splitter with T3 softs and some C&F issues, targeting T20 schools. I was also juggling between retaking the LSAT, a full-time job, and applying to law school. I screened many other companies' services and ended up choosing 7sage because, from the initial call, I gained a strong sense that this service could be individualized to my preference and would help me stay on top of the admission timeline with how streamlined 7sage's process was.

I worked with Lulu Dewey and I cannot thank her enough for my successes during the 2024-2025 law school admission cycle. Not only did I get accepted into the upper T14 school of my dreams, but I am also so proud of the work that I was able to put together. Lulu went above and beyond in understanding my story and helping me connect the little bits and pieces of my stories into a cohesive narrative. Lulu provided helpful feedback for every writing challenge I faced during this process. She offered thought-provoking insights when I was stuck and was concise when I tended to ramble. She is extremely supportive and encouraging, and it truly meant a lot to have someone who cherished my story as much as I did. Working with Lulu alleviated a lot of my stress and fear going into this process and I truly can't recommend her enough.

I cannot recommend 7Sage enough, especially my consultant (professional writer) Will Carpenter, who was instrumental in my law school application journey. As a non-traditional applicant - having been out of university for several years, an international student, and with an LSAT score that wasn't ideal - I was lost and unsure how to present my story compellingly. Will took the time to understand my background and helped me craft a cohesive narrative which truly reflected who I was. His insights as a professional writer were invaluable, and he spent so much time working with me, ensuring that my application was the best it could possibly be. I thought the service was expensive at first, but it was worth its every penny. I ended up submitting applications that I felt proud of! If you're considering law school, 7Sage and specifically Will, should be at the tope of your list!

I just want to say a massive thank you to Tony Andrews and Brigitte Suhr for their help during this most recent law school application cycle. My resume had a lot of different experiences that didn't necessarily relate to each other, and Tony and Brigitte were immensely helpful as I zeroed in on a coherent narrative about my career/education thus far and my desire to attend law school. I was most appreciative of Tony and Brigitte's willingness to tell me when my idea or writing was stale, could be misconstrued, or didn't quite land the way I was hoping it would. In the end, I was accepted to my dream law school (a T3) and offered a very generous scholarship ($50,000/yr) at a T4. I couldn't recommend Tony and Brigitte more!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Lulu Dewey at 7Sage. Going into the process, I knew my essays would be critical to my success as a splitter, and I wanted to make sure they were as strong as possible. Lulu helped me achieve that and so much more.

She was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, taking the time to understand my ideas and work with me in a way that fit my learning style. She didn’t just edit my writing, she helped me think through key moments in my journey and develop essays that felt authentic and compelling. I often struggled with having too many ideas and not knowing how to organize them, and Lulu helped me shape them into something clear and powerful.

What stood out most was her ability to provide constructive, insightful feedback while also making me feel confident in my application. Thanks to her support, I was admitted to multiple T20 schools with full scholarships. I wouldn’t have gotten the same results without her guidance. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to strengthen their law school applications.

I had applied to law school in two previous cycles with mixed results despite a strong LSAT and resume. When I started working with Lulu Dewey and Jake Baska it became clear why I hadn't been reaching my goals.

Jake's extraordinary knowledge of the admissions process enabled me to come up with a coherent and comprehensive plan for my applications. Under his guidance I selected a carefully thought out spread of schools that maximized my chances of having multiple options I would be happy with, and the potential to negiotiate the best scholarships possible once admitted.

Lulu helped me redefine my story and transform it into an essay that barely resembled what I had put together myself a year earlier. I had felt pressured to try and present myself as someone I wasn't based on a misinformed notion of what admissions officers were looking for. Lulu helped me clearly articulate my own individual journey towards law school in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. And once the brainstorming was over, she and Jake supported me through draft after draft until I arrived at the most cogent version of my essays possible.

Applying with and without these two in my corner felt like night and day. The entire process became way less stressful because I had two experts I could turn to whenever I hit a snag or was unsure what I should do. Can't recommend working with them highly enough!
