I originally went with Spivey because I am a super-splitter in my late 30s, so definitely not a typical candidate. The insider knowledge that the Spivey team provides was wonderful and reassuring throughout the application process, they have experience with everything, so nothing is new to them. More than anything though, Tom Robinson specifically made the package worth it. Here are a few examples of how he helped: -His thoughtful feedback throughout the essay drafting process, information regarding specific schools and their proclivities, ie. when to write which 'why x' essay. -Tom sent me random articles having to do with my essay topic as they came up, not always to use them but because he was genuinely interested. -Tom was able to put me in touch with current students at several of the universities I applied to, so that I could learn more about them. -Tom caught a number formatting issues before I clicked submit on my applications, things I just didn't see. -Tom helped me draft a roster of schools that matched my goals, including safety schools, targets, and reaches. -Tom helped me think through the admissions offers I received, waitlist options, etc. I only worked with Tom, but I get the impression that the rest of the team is similarly qualified and attentive. I would recommend this for anyone that wants peace of mind and excellent counsel.

Shannon was an amazing advisor. As a first generation student, I’ve often struggled to recognize my strengths and accomplishments. I felt that Shannon truly saw me and helped me see myself through a new lens. We were able to complete my application in such a short time period, and through the stress of law school and job applications. I am so appreciative of Shannon’s patience and nuanced thinking!

I was very happy with my experience with Spivey Consulting. They were thorough and realistic in the help they provided with navigating the law school admissions process. The consultant I worked with personally, Nick was very knowledgeable!

I received interview preparation services from Danielle, and it was by far the best experience I’ve had. Danielle had an exact understanding of what I needed and went above and beyond my expectations. Her insights and guidance were incredibly valuable, offering advice I couldn't have found elsewhere. The service was absolutely worth the investment. What truly stood out was her continued support. Even after our session ended, she generously offered to share helpful resources for another law school I was applying to. This level of dedication was far more than I anticipated. Thanks to Danielle’s help, I was well-prepared for my interview. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support with law school preparation.

I read the Spivey Law School Admissions Bible and listen to all of their podcasts Status Check with Spivey. Their amount of sophisticated and insider admissions experience information they put out for free is mind boggling. Kudos to them for helping so many in the admissions process I can’t say enough good things about this firm and their people.

Spivey Consulting Group delivers! I’d like to extend my eternal thanks to Paula Gluzman for being my law school admissions fairy godmother! Paula made an incredibly challenging process much less painful. With Paula’s help I was accepted to multiple tier one law schools with merit scholarships during one of the most competitive law school admissions cycles in history. Working with her was the best decision I could’ve made, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all she did to get me there. Even if I hadn’t gotten these results, I would still hire Paula again in a heartbeat for how much she helped me. What makes Paula so wonderful starts with the fact that she’s a genuinely lovely person. Paula’s warmth and positivity are matched by her intelligence, knack for strategy and years of experience. All these traits make her the perfect law school admissions consultant. In particular, I’d like to highlight how Paula comes through for students from diverse, non-traditional backgrounds. While my LSAT score and undergraduate GPA were good, I had a sensitive issue that I didn’t quite know how to tackle in my applications. Paula jumped in with an expert strategy and helped me turn what I believed to be a weakness into a way to showcase my resilience. Paula brought empathy, wit, and expertise to every essay strategy session. I tend to have a clear vision for my writing, and I worried that this might present a challenge, but Paula deftly helped me refine my work. Through a thoughtful and collaborative process, we successfully improved every piece of material in my applications. Paula is so talented at what she does that I even had fun editing with her! Paula was also very understanding and accommodating when I needed to schedule sessions around my rigid work schedule. She answered every one of my questions and emails in a timely manner and with great attention to detail. Hire Paula if you’re in search of the world’s most empathetic and brilliant law school admissions consultant! I promise you won’t regret it!

Spivey and Nathan Neely are awesome! I am very pleased with my admissions outcomes despite being part of an unusually competitive admissions cycle. Spivey is the way to go!

Rodia went above and beyond the entire time I worked with her. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, supportive, and transparent about the entire process. Not to mention, she is kind and reassuring, which made the stressful application experience a little less hectic. In general, the team at Spivey is incredibly talented and knowledgable, and they are worth every penny.
