"It's been a very exciting past 2 months for me. As of last Tuesday, I was accepted at every school I applied to, all 14 of them, including University of Chicago, Michigan, Northwestern, Duke, and Georgetown. I'm still in the process of talking to people and visiting schools to decide where I want to go, but I'm leaning towards Chicago right now. I will let you know when I make my final decision.
Here is the complete list of all the schools I was accepted to: University of Chicago, University of Michigan, Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, George Washington ($10,000 one time scholarship), Boston University, Washington University ($25,000 a year scholarship), University of Illinois ($15,000 a year scholarship), William and Mary ($14,000 a year), Emory ($7500 a year), American, and Chicago-Kent.
Thank you so much for you help. It really boosted my confidence. I would (and will) recommend you to anyone I know who is applying to law school!"  A, California

"Dear Mark,

I received the binder accepting me into Yale Law School today!! YES!!!!!

Thank you very much!!!" B, Connecticut

"Heike -

Well, this is also a nice Christmas present [an offer of a full tuition scholarship from the University of Michigan]. I also got a letter from Cornell offering me admission plus a Dean's Scholarship. But really, the Michigan offer would almost make me rethink on Yale...

I'll take a few more days to think about it, but I would love to have your views

on the question.

All the best and a wonderful Christmas to you!"  S, Paris

"Derek,

Hey! Hope you're well, and that you remember me. Hope you're getting a breather these days. Wanted to let you know that I was accepted in George Washington's Joint-Degree Program. The law school AND the Elliott School have both accepted me, and I plan on getting my JD and Masters in International Affairs. Thank you FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP. I seriously doubt I couldn't been accepted without your guidance, and I appreciate all of your time and effort."  K, Maryland

"Hi Heike,

Thanks a lot for your help once again. I am admitted at Windsor Law School for 2007-2008. How's things around you? I hope you are doing great."  J, Canada

"Hi Heike,

So I've gotten off the waitlist at NYU. With the exciting opportunities going on at their law school and dynamic atmosphere of NYC, I may end up there and ditch the new LSAT idea. I am still debating though, for I just found out I was waitlisted at Stanford and have a sliver of hope for enrolling there in the fall. Thanks for your help!"  J, California

"Amy,

I wanted to give you a final update on my law school admissions cycle: I have officially decided to attend the University of Chicago. I want to thank you again for all the advice and help you gave me."  S, Pennsylvania

"Hi Heike,

I forgot to email you to let you know that I didn't get into Yale. I am deciding right now between Harvard and Stanford. Such a hard choice. Do you have any input? I went to Stanford's admit weekend (and loved it!) but it was on the same weekend's as Harvard. I don't know if I am crazy to turn Harvard down. What kind of feedback have you gotten from former clients who attended either schools? Let me know and thanks again for all of your help!"  A, Massachusetts

"Amy,

Just wanted to let you know that I have gotten into a bunch of top 100 schools and I really appreciate your help! I know it's because of everything you have done and it means a lot to me. I am still waiting to hear from SMU, CU (Colorado), and Oregon. So far, I have gotten into Denver, Cincinnati, Florida State, and University of San Diego. I was wondering between the schools I have gotten into where you would recommend I go. I am really still interested in practicing corporate law and I wanted to know what you thought about how hard it is to get a job in another state besides the one you graduate from. Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks again for everything, your help throughout the process has been amazing!
Thanks again,"  T, Colorado

"Derek,

All of our hard work paid off--THANK YOU!! I have also been accepted to Duke, Michigan, and Georgetown...still waiting to hear from Yale and Harvard but Berkeley is my first choice and I am so excited! Thank You!"  B, Maryland

"Hi Heike,

I thought I would just provide an update for you. I am actually really excited because I just got OFF the waitlist at the University of Virginia. I really think that I got in because, after taking your advice, I went to go visit Virginia and had a great meeting with the dean. Thank you for your help, and I will keep you update with any more decisions.

Warm Regards,"  N, Connecticut

"Hi Amy,

I just wanted to thank you again for all your help and let you know that I was accepted to GW, Penn, Virginia, and Duke. I know they are all great schools, but I am having trouble deciding where to go. If you have opinions about any of them I would greatly appreciate your insight!

Thanks again."  J, New York

"Dear Heike,

I just wanted to send a note to thank you again for all your help and patience during this whole admissions process. Thanks to you, I'll be starting Tulane in the fall. Without your help, I would have never thought of applying there! Thanks again for everything. I'm looking forward to starting school in the fall."  C, California

"Not only did Derek impart to me the knowledge and know-how I needed to make my applications and essays as polished as possible, he consistently gave me large amounts of his personal time to walk me through various issues and problems I needed resolved promptly. Derek guided me through some tough decisions; all the while being ultimately concerned with my personal well being. I wouldn't have been admitted to Georgetown or received a substantial scholarship to Vanderbilt (where I will attend next semester) without his help and guidance. Thanks so much, Derek."  B, Alabama

"I am soooooooooooooo happy!! I got in, I got in. The dean of Georgetown even wrote by hand a letter to me, it was short, but still it soo reassuring and I feel so proud of myself right now.
I just wanted to so how thankful I am for your help...
Thank you again. I am so glad that I got to work with you."  A, New York

"Hi Derek,

I decided to go to Yale, and I'm thrilled!

Thank you so much for your help. I never would have tried for Yale if you hadn't suggested it. I would have applied to Stanford as a reach and not gotten in, and who knows where I would have ended up? But instead I'm going to Yale.

I guess I can deal with three New England winters for that!"  S, Virginia

"Dear Anne,

I need to thank you for your assistance in my law school application process. Though it is still early in the game and I have yet to hear from 4 law schools out of 18, I was admitted to Catholic U, LSU, SUNY Buffalo and Alabama-Tuscaloosa with a 3/4 merit scholarship. I have been admitted to the waitlist of American U, U Florida, Loyola-Chicago, George Mason, Tennessee and U Maryland School of Law. Though I will try to thank you via email as soon as I have the complete list of acceptances/rejections at hand, please know that I thank you now for your guidance in filling out my application and choosing the best approach for my essays. Regards,"  M, Italy

"Dear Derek,

Your advice was instrumental in helping me apply to law school and improve my essay and resume. I wanted to inform you that I was recently accepted off the waitlist to Loyola Marymount – one of my top choices. It also happens to be the one school that you suggested I add to my initial list after our consultation.
Thank you very much for all your help."  J, California

"Heike,

Well here's the wrap up.. I withdrew my app from everywhere and accepted Harvard...I went to the admit weekend and it was good and I can see myself there, other than the weather and the prices of housing, but hey I can deal with it...I went there before the decision from Stanford came and was pretty much sold on Harvard....But all and all I want to thank you. This was a crazy cycle and I was definitely more successful than I could have ever dreamed of. I thank you for being so patient with me and for all your help and advice. I don't know what I would have done with out you...thanks so much." 

"Heike counseled me to apply early decision and helped me see that the University of Chicago was the best choice for me. She even took me on a personal visit to the campus. She was enthusiastic but realistic. I know I will keep in touch with Heike throughout my legal career and I am indebted to her for her generosity and insight. Her assessment was essential to my decision to apply early decision at U of C. While I may have been accepted to U of C without ED, Heike encouraged me to apply ED, and I will always be grateful for that encouragement. I would certainly recommend this service if the student is already very committed. I don't think AC can work miracles, but you can boost a motivated student's chances of having good odds to having excellent ones."  L, Pennsylvania

"Anne was a delight to work with. She obviously knows her stuff, conveys her thoughts professionally and thoroughly and with compassion."  C, Virginia

"Last year I did not get accepted to any school nor did a friend of mine. Heike [his consultant] re-targeted my school choices, fine-tuned my resume, and helped me rewrite my application essay. In total, it was two weeks work for me. She was very honest about my chances at other schools. The results were incredible. I got into every school she helped me with. My friend joined Admissions Consultants, and was assigned to Heike. He friend got into every school he applied to as well. Heike is fantastic. She was totally honest about my chances at other schools. After the acceptance letters came, she was very helpful in making my final choice. choosing after acceptances. I wish I had done this last year. I would be a year ahead today."  S, Illinois

"Hey Mark,

drum roll ......

"Hi David - I have to thank you and your company because even though I got a 143 on my LSAT I still managed to get into Hofstra law school so far - I'm still waiting on other schools -but THANK YOU sooooo much! Your service is soooo amazing. Best, " V, New Jersey

"Hi David:

Just to inform you that Fordham and Pace have accepted me to their LLM program. Amy was a fantastic help and I'm sure I wouldn't have done it without her, specially Fordham, which was the most difficult application to process, so Amy should be very proud. Thanks again,"  L, New Jersey

"Heike,

Thank you so much for all the help, I know I'm neurotic and you really helped me tremendously through this process. At the end of the day I was accepted into seven of the eight schools to which I applied, that is a strong testament to your abilities. Final tally was ASU, Santa Clara, Oregon, Pitt, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and denied at DePaul, who needs them?
I know that without your help the above list of acceptances would be shorter and I doubt that I would have been accepted into ASU which was my dream school. I'll make sure to keep you updated with my progress. Thanks again,

Sincerely,"  B, District of Columbia

I just received a phone call from the Assistant Dean at Thomas Jefferson where she offered me admissions to law school in the fall. Thank you greatly for all your help. I know it made the difference.

"Hi Mark,

...I have heard back from 15 schools so far and I have been accepted at all of them. I was accepted at Georgetown, Fordham, UVA, University of Indiana Bloomington, Seton Hall, U Penn, Harvard, U Michigan, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt, NYU, Duke, Boston College, Washington and Lee, and Notre Dame. I also received several offers of scholarships. I am still waiting to hear from Columbia, Stanford, and Yale.

Thanks for your help on this and for your earlier help which contributed to my acceptances."  E, New Jersey

"Heike -

I got my first acceptance today...Georgetown Law. I was shocked to hear this early, but I'm not complaining :)"  M, Maryland

"Mark,

Received an acceptance from University of Chicago this morning. It's been a good week.

That was my Early Decision application, so that is where I will be going next fall.

Again, many thanks for your assistance. I hate to think of where I'd be without it.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"  J, Illinois

"Heike,

I'M IN!!! WE DID IT!!

[Admissions Officer] called me at work a little bit ago. I am soooooo excited. I really cannot begin to describe how happy I am.

I'm ordering a sweatshirt NOW.

Thank you SO much, Heike, for everything. You went WAY beyond the call of duty (or service or even friendship, for that matter). Thank you [for] introducing me to Chicago and for helping me create the best acceptance package I could.

I do hope to see you in Chicago in the future. I am just too happy right now (as you might have noticed with the inordinate number of capital letters).

It's a beautiful day!"  K, Indiana

"Dear Heike,

Here is my Christmas present this year: admission at Yale!

Thank you so much for all your help! I think I know which school I will be attending next year at this point...

I also had an email from [name of firm], telling me that they were giving me an internship. Overall, today was a good day!

All my best wishes for Christmas to you and your family, and a great Thank you!"  S, France

"Hi Heike,

I'm just writing to inform you that I got in to the University of Chicago today. Thanks for all you did! I really appreciate it. I'm still in a bit of shock. Ann called me this morning to give me the good news.

Thanks Again!"  N, California

"Hello Heike,

I got admissions letters from GULC [Georgetown University Law School] and Cornell last week. I am surprised to hear from them so quick. I have not yet heard from any other schools yet, but I look forward to some good news. Thanks so much for your help. It was awesome!

Thank you so much."  C, South Korea

"Hi Heike,

Indiana and ND [Notre Dame] got back to me--I'm complete and under review. Phew!

But great news! I got a packet from Michigan today--I'M IN!! I'm ecstatic to have such a great "back-up." Thought you'd be interested to know the note written on the acceptance letter: "Your work experience and expertise will be invaluable background for you with a JD. I hope you'll join us."

Thanks to you for all your help. A year ago, I never would have dreamed I'd be an 'auto-admit' at Michigan."  K, Indiana

"Amy,

I don't know what I would have done without your guidance and moral support. You have put an incredible amount of work into my application and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. As you know, I had a lot of quirks to deal with. Your reassurance during our first conversation gave me so much confidence about this process.

During the course of the application, I had to reflect on the many ways in which I have grown. I know that I've grown during the application process as well and I owe some of that to you. You helped me "bring my potential to the surface" as I love to say:)"  G, California

"Mark did an incredible job throughout, and I was admitted to nearly every school to which I applied: Harvard (this is where I'm going), Stanford, Columbia, NYU (with scholarship), Chicago (with scholarship), UVA (with scholarship), Penn (with Levy scholarship), and Georgetown."  S, New York

"Dear Heike,

This morning, I got an unexpected Thanksgiving present: a UPS letting me know that I was accepted at Michigan Ann Arbor! I am so excited! There was a hand-written note on the letter saying they had been 'moved' by my statement. Thank you so much! So early in the season and I already have a place to go.

Thanks again!"  R, France

"Dear Renee,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the help you gave me with my personal statement (and just general advice!) this year. It helped more than I can say, and was absolutely invaluable. I appreciate everything you did for me so much!

I also have some good news (and from where you used to work, too!): I just heard back from Penn, and have been accepted there! I'm really excited. I haven't looked at Penn since I was thinking about applying there for undergrad, but I'm planning on going for one of the accepted student days and checking it out.

Thanks again so much for all your help, and I will definitely keep you updated on how things go!"  R, Massachusetts

"Hi Heike,

I was just awarded an $81K scholarship at Northwestern U!!"  C, California

"I feel so grateful I "discovered" you guys. I will definitely recommend you, but I want to keep you guys as my own "secret weapon" until I've been admitted."  B, New York

"Hi Renee,

I just got home to find a letter from New York Law School. They have accepted me and are offering me a $25,000 merit scholarship for my first year! The letter also says that the scholarship will be renewed in subsequent years if I stay in the top 15% of my class, and I will be invited to join their honors program!"  L, Nevada

"Hey Dave,

Amy did such an incredible job with my papers - timeliness, quality, etc. Thanks!"  M, Virginia

"Hi David,

I am terribly sorry about not writing sooner to thank you and tell you how fabulous Mark was.  You may remember me - I had worked with Mark on law school applications several months back, and I was eventually accepted into Northwestern and UPenn.  [You are more than welcome to use any part of this message in your "Testimonials" board or anywhere you see fit - you guys definitely deserve it!]

The services Mark provided were superior in every way.  He was thoroughly knowledgeable about law school admissions, the unique characteristics of most law schools, and exactly what it was that admissions officers did, and did not, look for in applicants.

I was accepted to Penn and Northwestern even though (when compared to other accepted students at those schools), I had a GPA that was only average and a LSAT score in the 25%ile of accepted applicants.  I am 100% convinced that it was Mark's help that made the difference.  Basically, what Mark did for me was take all the disparate parts of my life (including my prior job academic and professional experiences, my family history, my unique preferences and hobbies, my friendships and relationships, my dreams and goals, traveling experiences, clubs and other activities etc.), and pulled everything together into one single, powerful, focused application.  That was the kind of thing I could never have done on my own, especially because I wasn't very clear on exactly what it was that law schools actually looked for in their applicants.

Mark was also personable, warm and just generally easy to talk to.  Not only would I recommend you guys to anyone, but I actually DID recommend Mark's services to my friend.  (He's already sent out his applications and now I'm just sitting back and waiting for him to get his acceptance letters.)

Thanks again for creating this service."  L, Pennsylvania

"Hey Heike,

Just got a letter in the mail today saying I got into Harvard! Only took 'em eleven days too. I wanted to thank you again for all of your help! It's amazing to actually be admitted to Harvard and your help was invaluable, I'll definitely be recommending you and Admissions Consultants to my soon-to-be-applying friends! Thank you again so much!!!"  S, California

"Hi Renee,

I thought I would update you on my status for law school next year. I heard yesterday that I have been accepted at Cornell so I will be enrolling there. Thanks so much for all your help during the past eight months - I really appreciate it."  K, District of Columbia

"Hi Mark,

Thanks for your feedback on HLS [Harvard Law School]. I'm going to make the changes and get it ready to go.

Secondly, thank you very much for your advice. It really made me breathe a little easier.

It's been fantastic working with you. I'm definitely going to recommend you to my friends, a bunch of whom are planning to apply to law school ;-)"   A, New York

"I also want to let you know that Paul is AWESOME. He has been so helpful, and really actually has me believing that I will get into law school :) I'm so glad I found you guys."  V, New York

"Hello Heike,

I'm writing to let you know that I've been admitted to Yale. Thank you again for all of your advice."  A, Massachusetts

"I'm very pleased to announce that I was accepted at Cornell's law school. Thanks for all your effort and assistance. I don't believe this would have been possible otherwise. I'm not an ivy league lawyer yet, but I feel I've cleared the first major hurdle of getting into the law school!"  R, New Jersey

"Renee,

I would like to thank you for the assistance you provided during the application process. Your advice was very helpful and I am very pleased with the results." [Admitted to Washington & Lee. Admitted to Illinois, DePaul, and Louisville with scholarships.]  R, Illinois

"Heike is fantastic! She offered information specific to my needs. I have already referred 2 people."  K, Ohio

"Hey Heike,

I just wanted to let you know that I did end up getting into USC this past Thursday! :-) Classes started this Monday and I love it. I wanted to thank you for your advice – If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have tried to re-contact the dean, wouldn't have found out about the GPA percentile, and wouldn't have tried to find other ways to bump my application to the top of the pile."  M, California

"Renee-

I just received a letter offering me admission to MICHIGAN (my first choice) for 2005!!!  I am extremely thrilled!  There is no way that I could be here without your help.  Not only did you help me mold my essays and personal statement into virtual perfection, but you also provided me with the friendly and crucially important support I needed.  I have already called my friends, and they're on their way over with champagne!  Thank you SO much!!!"  Z, Georgia

"You are the best! I'm in at Chicago's law school and my LSAT was in the lowest 25 percentile. I know your thoughtful guidance and spectacular essay revisions made all the difference!"  R, New York

"Heike,

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just wanted to tell you that I got into Boalt today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Last week I was scared because all these people with my exact same stats (GPA and higher LSATS) and all these people with LSATS in the 170s were getting rejected by the boatload.  So I was just waiting for my rejection letter to get the inevitable over with.  Then I found out that I am in!  You don't know how in shock and how happy I am-- my mother cried she was so happy for me!!!!!!!!  So far I got a full ride to Kent and into some of my other schools (Hastings and Madison), but I will just have to turn them down now that I am in at my #1!!!!!!!  I know I couldn't have done this without your help because I truly believe that my personal statement and genuine interest in the school made me stand out from the rest (otherwise I would have been rejected with the other boatload of people)!!!  Thank you sooo much for your help and advice-- now I just have to get used to the idea of living in Northern California, which won't be so bad because now I am that much closer to Tahoe!!!"  L, California

"In at Georgetown! My first decision of any kind. I am so excited. It is such a relief to know that, even though my fingers are still crossed for some other schools, I have an amazing school to fall back on.

I've got to get to work, but I wanted to let you know and say thanks again for all your help."  A, California

"Renee,

I was accepted to the University of Minnesota.  I am excited about UMN, and will continue to look forward to future decisions.

I have to believe that the success that transpires from the acceptance letter from UMN and into the next couple of months can be attributed, in large part, to your diligent work and advice on my applications.  I went three years (the time between when I realized I truly wanted to go to law school) without a single acceptance letter (3 wait-lists, 6 rejections).  Until today, anyway.  I know that I will be successful wherever I go, but am humbled by the guidance you offered me.  Thanks, and we'll keep in touch."  K, Utah

"Heike,

I am quite pleased. [UT Austin's] numbers for the 2005 class were even more competitive than for 2004, so it ain't no small potatoes that I got an

unambiguous response so quickly....

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more stoked I get. Thanks for all your

help - mission accomplished."  T, Texas

"Dear David,

Thanks for all your help. Paul was terrific! Not only did he provide very helpful advice and follow-up, we could tell he really cared about the outcome."  A, Maryland

"Hi Heike,

Thank you very much for your edits - I am always surprised at how subtle (and not so subtle) changes can make quite a difference. I felt much more confident sending out my papers with your help. Thank you again for your thoughtful insights. I will keep you posted come spring, maybe sooner, when the rejections/acceptances start coming."  D, Washington

"Dear Mr. Petersam,

I have been a client of AdmissionsConsultants for law school admissions since March 2004, when I requested to work with Ms. Renee Post. I had purchased the three application law package, working on applications to three 'reach' schools with Ms. Post's assistance, aside from sending out several other applications without AdmissionsConsultants' input.

I am delighted to say that I have been accepted to Michigan Law School off the waitlist. Mich was one of my top two choices from the very beginning, and definitely a reach school given that my GPA was below their 25th percentile entering class GPA. I am also on the waitlists at the two other reach schools I applied to with Ms. Post's guidance.

Ms. Post has worked ceaselessly on my case ever since I signed on with AdmissionsConsultants. From the initial stage of helping me highlight the broader theme of my application strategy, to thorough proofreading and expert commentary on every document I prepared, she has been an amazing advisor. With every one of my numerous queries, she provided spot on advice. No matter how small the question, she treated it with utmost care and diligence.

Michigan Law will provide me with a challenging environment to help me grow as a person, morally and intellectually, and an amazing platform to be an effective advocate. I would not have had this opportunity without the skilled guidance and perseverance of Ms. Post."  D, Illinois

"Mark,

Thank you for being the calm voice of reason that I needed the other day. I cannot tell you how happy I am to be done with the application part of the process. It finally feels like my hard work is paying off and this whole thing is coming together, in large part to your assistance."  A, California

"Dear Heike:

Thanks for your help and your advise is really important for my law school application. So far, I received these [LL.M.] admissions: Columbia, New York University, University of Pennsylvania and USC."  L, California

"Hi David, I hope you are having a great summer. I wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I appreciate all the help you and Renee provided me during my law school application process. From the initial conversation we had last summer through the follow up letter guidance, you and Renee were very professional, courteous, and insightful. I first retained your services because I was a non-traditional applicant and was not sure which parts of my background I should try and highlight. Also, like most applicants, I wanted to maximize my chances for acceptance into the schools that I applied. I believe that Renee's advice on my resume and essay made my application much stronger. Also, having her to review my applications made the process much less stressful for me. I plan to attend law school this fall at the University of Oklahoma. They offered me a generous scholarship that will cover most of my tuition expenses for the three years. I decided that graduating from law school virtually debt free was too attractive to pass up."  B, Oklahoma

"In at [University of] Chicago! I am so incredibly happy! Now, no matter what else happens, this admission cycle has been a total success. I couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks so much."  P, Illinois

"Heike,

Just to give you an update, I just got an acceptance letter from Michigan today. I just wanted to let you know and to thank you again for all of your help since I know I went back and forth with you on my personal statement, my resume, my optional statements, etc. a ridiculous number of times. Although I feel my numbers were competitive I definitely think they were far from auto-admit numbers and I feel your input contributed strongly in them making such a fast decision [one month] regarding acceptance. Thank you so much for all of your help."  E, Wisconsin

"I want to thank you for all of your guidance and help with this process. I know it's your "job" to do that, but it was a pleasure working with you and I felt like it was not just a job to you. Very reassuring."  S, Massachusetts

"Renee greatly exceeded my expectations. I had a score on the LSAT that was 10 points lower than the average at Boalt Hall but thanks to a well put together package, I was accepted."  M, California

"Hey Heike,

Thought I'd let you know that Georgetown and UVA have sent acceptances. Also, a number of schools now have commented that they liked my essay, Georgetown saying actually a good few words about it and my interests in the margins of the letter. So, thank you for all of your help with the essay, it's apparently paying off quite well with the top 14. :) Hope you're doing well!"  S, Colorado

"Hey Mark --

Thank you so much for your quick return on the personal statement. I am glad you think it is effective, I was worried it sounded like incoherent rambling. You were right -- you are very good at making personal statements succinct and cohesive!"  J, Alabama

"Heike,

So this is it. I've just moved down to DC and paid my tuition deposits to Georgetown and I am ready to start.

Thank you so much for all your help. I really never would have thought to apply here if it weren't for your suggestion. I hope you and your family have a great summer. I'm sure when school starts, I'll start blaming you for getting my into law school in the first place, but in all seriousness your help was indispensable!

Cheers & THANK YOU!!!"  C, Pennsylvania

"Thanks again for all your help and effort. I really appreciate it, and I believe the result of your consultation has greatly helped me earn my admissions to law school."  J, Massachusetts

"Given Renee’s background and the schools that are listed on your website, I was surprised that she was knowledgeable about regional part-time evening programs in New York."  K, New York

"G-Town looks great. Heike, I've already been accepted to more law schools than colleges! Cheers & THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP"  R, Pennsylvania

"I just wanted to let you know that I've decided to go to Brooklyn Law School. They've given me a $15,000 scholarship. I know I wouldn't have made it through this process without all your help. You told me from the beginning that it was going to be tough, and I am thankful for your kindness and realistic assessment of my chances. Again Renee, thank you so much! I am and have been so grateful for all your help. You really helped get me through this process! I hope all is well with you and you are enjoying the spring weather. Thanks again!"  W, New York

"Hello Mark, I hope you have been well. I've finished applying to all of the schools I had intended to apply to. I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all of your help during this process. You really did make it all much easier and I'm confident that I couldn't have marketed myself as well as I did without all of your help. I'll keep you updated as to which schools I get accepted into. Thanks again for everything."  R, Virginia

"Renee,

Just a quick note to let you know that I was accepted into W&L Law. Thanks for all your help."  C, District of Columbia

"Heike's honesty was helpful. She was great. What a valuable service."  H, New York

"I have been accepted by the Cal Berkeley Law School (Boalt Hall). I find this not only exciting but eerily predictive in that the first words out of your mouth when I spoke to you regarded Boalt Hall. I am sure you probably don’t remember, but I do. I could not have done it with out you and I just want to thank you! My warmest regards and sincerest thanks go out to you."  J, Nebraska

"Mark,

Just wanted to let you know that I got my acceptance letter from Baylor today for Spring 2005. It even had a handwritten note from one of the admissions officers!!! As you can imagine I am on cloud nine! This is a real dream come true for me. Never thought that they would offer me a seat. I guess it doesn't hurt to dream a wild dream once in a while!

I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and encouragement. With your help I produced a great personal statement, which is what I believe got me into my dream school. I could not have done it without you. Thank you once again."  V, Texas

"Not only did I get into some law schools that I considered to be "stretches" but I also completed my applications more efficiently. Your upfront guidance on strategy and personal statements made the whole process so much more efficient than if I had attempted to go this on my own and wrote 5 to 10 drafts of each of my personal statements like my peers."  H, Arizona

"Heike, I wanted to let you know that I already heard from DU and I got in! The head of the program called me yesterday morning to deliver the news. I know my personal statement played a huge role in me getting accepted thank you very much!"  J, California

"Hey Mark! I got my acceptance letter from HARVARD today -- quick turnaround on my app -- and I am so EXCITED! Thank you so much for your help with everything!!!!"  J, Alabama

"Hi Heike,

Good news! I got accepted to Washington and Lee Law in Virginia.

Just letting you know! :)"  L, Maryland

"I just received an email from Boalt Hall inviting me to join the class of 2004! To say the least I'm in complete shock! But after calling my friends and family I wanted to sit down right away and email you to thank you very much for your help! I don't think I could have made such an application package without your help! Thank you so much. Well I guess the appropriate thing to do now is go out and celebrate! So I'll be off but thank you again for all the endless assistance you showed to me! This is so huge!"  M, Alabama

"Hi Renee,

We haven't spoken in a while so I just wanted to check in. I hope you had a great holiday.

Some good news: I got into the University of Houston! I am so happy."  C, Missouri

"Hi Mark,

I'm sure you've been absolutely bombarded with e-mails from people thanking you for your help, but here's another. THANK YOU!

I just got accepted in UC Hastings! I'm extremely excited. I sent in my enrollment confirmation within 5 minutes of opening the letter (just in case they realize they made a mistake and try to take back my admission).

Thanks for everything!"  K, California

"Hi Heike,

I got admitted to Chicago today! I'll be in Chicago in the beginning of April to visit U of Chicago and Northwestern so hopefully I can thank you in person for all of your help!"  L, California

"Thank God for your assistance! You took a very stressful period in my life and kept me on track and offered me good encouragement. The advice was dead on and your essay assistance seemed magical. You were more than my consultant when I was trying to complete my applications before the deadlines; you were my friend too. Thanks again!!"  S, California

"Hi Mark,

I got into NYU and will be going there this summer. Thanks for all the help. 2 out of 3 is not bad."  G, New York

"Renee was a big help.  We discussed so much and she put in so much time into reviewing my applications from start to finish.  My parents and I are forever grateful to Admissions Consultants and Renee for helping me through this difficult process. I learned that there can never be "too much" information.  I also learned how to take a question that is very general and make it specific to my situation.  I commend all of you for your services and again I thank you."  C, New York

"Hi Heike,

I wanted to let you know that I heard back from Northwestern and I got in!! I am thrilled, and wanted to thank you for your help!

I also was accepted at DePaul, and although I haven't heard back from Kent-Honors yet (their honors deadline was just a few days ago, on 2/27) I'm going to withdraw from those schools as NWU is too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Now I'm going to start looking for an apartment, I can't wait to live in Chicago, this is a dream come true for me.

Thanks again for all of your help, and I hope all is well!"  J, Minnesota

"i'm totally impressed with it [resume] and so is my dad. lol. good job! you're a miracle worker... :)"  U, Florida

"Mark, I'm so excited right now - I got accepted to Northwestern Law!!! I'm sitting here with a large grin on my face as I type this. Thank you 1,000% for all your incredible help. I know I wouldn't be sitting here holding this acceptance if it weren't for you."  B, New York

"Hello Heike,

Great news, I was accepted at Berkeley! Thank you so much for all of your help with my application, I really think it made the difference."  A, Massachusetts

"Dear Admissions Consultants,

I am writing you concerning the services I received from your company. I signed up to receive these services sometime last November and was assigned to work with an amazing professional, Renee Post. In this letter I would like to not only thank you for the fantastic services your company provided but to also emphasize what an outstanding job I believe Renee did.

When I began to sort through my applications I was overwhelmed to say the least. Not knowing exactly how to make the perfect application package I turned to your company. My profile was made up in part by a very good GPA but a very mediocre LSAT score. Renee helped me to use the different aspects of my application to highlight all my good points and assure that anything that did not shine on its own was properly addressed. Her help was untiring and unbelievably thorough.

The results are that I not only got in my top choice for law schools (Boalt Hall which has a 10 point higher median LSAT score than my own) but I have also been accepted and waitlisted by some of the other top programs in the country. All of which I know is the result of a very well put together package. Certainly without my hard work none of this would have happened but at the same time Renee's amazing know how about the application process as well her incredible patience and dedication to her work was a crucial part to my success. I am so grateful to her and to your company for the services provided and will whole heartedly recommend them to friends of mine who are applying to graduate/professional programs in the future. Thank you again and a special thanks to Renee for all of her hard work and professionalism."  M, Alaska

"Hi Heike,

Hope you're having a good holiday. I wanted to let you know I got into USC and NYU today!"  L, California

"Mark,

I have been meaning to e-mail you for the longest time but have been so swamped with work that I have not been able to until now.

So I thought I should tell you that I decided to go to Rutgers-Newark for law school. In the end it was between Northeastern and Rutgers. While there were a lot of things I liked about the Northeastern program there were too many things pulling me to the New York area to turn Rutgers down.

Now looking back on the decision, I could not be happier (I reserve the right to amend this sentiment until after I completed my first semester). I visited the campus and think that it offers exactly what I am looking for.

With that said, I want to thank you for all your help in guiding me through the application process. While I did not get accepted to every school I applied to, I still look at this experience as a positive one because, with your help, I feel that I put my best foot forward and ultimately ended up at a school that I believe will meet my needs. I truly enjoyed working with you and now I know who to call should I decide to transfer to NYU as a 2L.

I hope this e-mail finds you and your family well and that you are enjoying the break before the admissions cycle heats up again in the fall."  A, California

"Heike-

I wanted to let you know that I got into Minnesota off of the waitlist.  What a relief!!!  I'm thrilled and freaked out because I have to move, quit my job, and be in Minnesota by August 30th!!! Anyway, thank you for all of your help.

Best,"  K, Illinois

"Hello Renee,

I hope you have been well.  Following this note is my acceptance to Penn Law!!!   Thank you for all of your help these past few months.  I really do appreciate everything you have done for me.  I'm still waiting on Columbia and Chicago but I'm almost certain I will be attending Penn Law.  Thanks again."  R, Virginia

"Hey Heike,

I decided on Harvard for this fall and actually just sent in my notification yesterday. I had gotten more and more excited about the place, and then went to admitted students day and knew there was no choice, I had to go. I love the place. Heh, I even got to have lunch with Alan Dershowitz, it was a nice touch. I think going there helped me realize that for what I'm looking for Harvard right now is the place to be. Maybe not 20 years ago, but today's Harvard is everything I could ever want so I am stoked! Thanks again so much for all of your help!"  H, California

"Mark, I just thought I would share with you the final results of my Law School Admissions process:

USC: Accepted
UCLA: Accepted
Berkeley: Accepted
Georgetown: Accepted
UVA: Accepted
U Chicago: Accepted
U Penn: Accepted
NYU: Accepted
Columbia: Accepted
Harvard: Accepted (and attending)
Stanford: Rejected
Yale: Waitlisted

Thank you very much for all of your help. I'm starting to consider a joint JD/MBA, so I'll probably be in contact this fall as I start to apply for the MBA portion of the joint program."  M, California
