Reapplicant Success Story
Please note that before reapplying you should have us assess all of your individual dynamics. Some applicants should not reapply as it's hard to predict overall applicants pool and individual school applicants pools. Each specific case is different.

If you are thinking about reapplying, we'd be happy to talk through with you all of the the considerations. "As a re-appl

Testimonial 12.20.17

As chair of the Stanford Native American Pre-Law group, I have hosted a number of speakers and admissions officers, and Mr. Spivey’s speech stands out as one of the most interesting and useful talks I have attended. He combines his university insider perspective with his admissions consultant experience, striking a balance that is hard to find. The information he presented was invaluable and I
