"Hi Amy,

I have been admitted to Harvard! I am soooooooooooo happy! You cannot believe how thrilled I am. The admissions office has contacted me and they are extremely kind to me! This is really amazing! I am moving to Boston and going to Harvard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind regards," -C, France

"Hi Derek-

Just wanted to share some great news with you, which is that I was recently accepted at Michigan. I considered this a bit of a "reach" school, so it really is quite exciting. Michigan actually seems like a terrific fit for me.

At any rate, I wanted to thank you again for helping me to put together a strong application package.

All the best," -A, NY

"Hi Heike,

I got into Harvard!!!!!!! I had my doubts, but you were absolutely right. Thank you so much for all your help. I cannot even count the huge number of ways you helped with my application. I can confidently say that this would not be happening if it were not for you. Hope to tell you more good news soon." M, FL

"Amy,

I'll definitely be going to Notre Dame, no matter what. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help during the admissions cycle. My entire family says this is the best investment we've ever made."

-J, NC

"Hi Maria,

Working with Derek over the past year on law school applications has been nothing less than a stellar experience. His competence in the law school admissions process is absolutely unrivaled. That fact is borne out in the results of my application cycle: I was admitted to at least 13 schools in the top 30, with more than 5 of those in the top 10. I am exceptionally pleased to note that I will attending the University of Pennsylvania in the fall; this is in no small measure directly related to Derek's help. I give my highest recommendation both to Derek and to AdmissionsConsultants."

-A, PA

"Amy,

I really can't express how grateful I am. Everything you've done to get me into law school paid off and regardless of the outcome of my other apps, I'll be going to a great law school. I know I couldn't have gotten in there without you, your help was an invaluable resource and was easily the best investment I've made on my journey to law school.

Thank you so much!" -J, CA

"Hi Heike,

I got into Georgetown!!! I got my acceptance letter yesterday. Thanks so much for your help and counsel, I feel like your help made a huge difference."  M, North Carolina

"Derek,

Hello. I'm writing to thank you again for all your help on my applications. During the course if the summer, I was admitted to Fordham, Cardozo, GW, and BU Law. :) I was able to use those acceptances to leverage a full ride at Brooklyn Law. I'm now in my third week here and I'm very happy. None of that would have happened without your help." J. New York

"AMY!!!

I was accepted at University of Georgia! I'm so happy. Thank you so much for helping me! My dream is coming real and I can hardly believe it!" -J, NC

"Hey Amy,

I hope that your holiday festivities went well. Sorry, I had meant to send you a message but got caught up with finals, Christmas, and some other great news! Since last communicating I have received an acceptance to William Mitchell Law School which was one of my top choices. Thank you so much for all of your help throughout the application process, I truly believe that your guidance helped me to understand what the committee was looking for and take my application to the next level. Again, thank you for your guidance." -D, NC

"Hey Heike,

So, first off, thank you SO much for everything! You've been tremendously helpful and I really appreciate all of the time you've spent with my application/just chatting with me!

In other news, I GOT INTO CORNELL LAW SCHOOL!!! Thanks for helping me do so!

Warm wishes," -N, FL

"Dear Derek,

I have to thank you again. I spoke to my son this AM. He now not only agrees with and understands what you are saying but is approaching the task with enthusiasm.

Hope you get VERY MUCH more business--you deserve it and your students will prosper from the association." -H, FL

"Hi Heike,

I just wanted to tell you that I got accepted into Baltimore and New England Law School's program!! I am so happy and want to thank you so much for all of your help and support!" -K, CA

"Hi Derek,

I just wanted to thank you again for all your helpful editing with my personal statement and University of Pennsylvania essay this past summer. When I go back and look at the first draft and then my finished product, it's amazing how much better the writing became just from your suggestions.

I got a phone call from Penn's admission office telling me I've been accepted for the class of 2012! I couldn't be more thrilled. Regards," -G, PA

"Hi Heike,

Thank you again, sincerely, for all of your help. I'd recommend your services to any of my friends who are planning to apply to law school, and it's been so nice to know that there's been someone to help me.

Best regards," -D, MD

Dear Maria,

I am very glad I found Admissions Consultants. I have a strong academic background and when I start to get denials after denials I started to panic and I knew then that something must have gone wrong in my application. I started to get extremely nervous and feared the worst because I was like a person groping in the dark, trying to make sense of all that has gone wrong.

I was very thankful to be assigned Amy as my consultant. Through her experienced eyes she very quickly discovered the errors and oversight in my applications and she offered very useful advice on how to rectify the errors. Knowing where I have erred calmed me down a lot; and despite knowing that it is probably too late to do anything about my applications, I feel more confident knowing that it wasn't anything wrong with me that my applications were rejected - only that I have not presented it in the best light to show myself as a competitive applicant.

I highly recommend Amy as a consultant. She is highly experienced and gives sound and practical advice. On top of that she is warm, helpful and persuasive. She also possesses high counseling qualities that help in soothing and reassuring a panic stricken applicant like me.

-J, Malaysia

"Hi Heike,

I'm happy to report that I'm heading to Stanford for the JD/MBA program! On the law school front, I also got into to Harvard and Columbia (with the Sharp scholarship), but Stanford was always at the top of the list.

Thanks again for all of your help. I definitely think your insight was critical in helping me polish up my application - and it seems like it worked!" -Z, GA

"I GOT INTO MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-P, CA

"Dear David,

I wanted to take a moment this afternoon to convey my praises about Mark.

I worked with Mark this year as I reapplied to law school, and I cannot effectively state how extraordinary his guidance has been. I was neurotic and frazzled throughout the process, but Mark was GREAT about reassuring me and helping me keep my head when I seemed certain to lose it. I was extremely fortunate to have gained admission to some phenomenal law schools. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that one of the most agonizing decisions of the application process would be deciding between UPenn and Virginia (with scholarships at both schools!).

Thank you for pairing me with Mark last summer! I am extremely grateful!"

-M, SC

"I was lucky enough to work with Heike. She was extremely dedicated and encouraging. However, I'm grateful for her honest assessment as well. She helped me with numerous drafts for my personal statement and gave me very useful feedback on how to highlight my strengths.

She is an expert in what she does. Heike was always prompt with her replies and this was tremendously helpful for rolling deadline purposes. She helped alleviate the experience of an extremely difficult process to make it a lot less stressful. I was able to get into a reach school and I cannot be happier. I would highly recommend Heike to anyone applying to law school for the best results!" -S, NJ

"Hey [Michael],

All those letters paid off. Either way I got [into] the school [Columbia Law School] I wanted and into the best school I had a shot at. Thanks for everything," -M, AK

"Hi Heike,

I got into Georgetown!!! I got my acceptance letter yesterday. Thanks so much for your help and counsel, I feel like your help made a huge difference." -M, NC

"Derek was not only an absolute pleasure to work with, but he improved my essays and overall application considerably. He gave me insight into the point of view of law school admissions committees and helped me to ensure that my strengths were well-presented. I couldn't have done it without him." -K, NY

"Hi Derek!

The end of the road indeed. It has certainly been a pleasure to work with you as well. I have felt this to be a worthwhile experience. I will certainly let you know as my decisions roll in. I'm sure you know that I too am looking forward to it!

I want to tell you that I greatly appreciate all of your help. You have helped me to get the best out of myself - not such an easy task believe it or not. I often am willing to settle for pretty good, which by any other standard is usually good enough. In this case, I am glad to have created the best applications I possibly could have created. It helps to have a bit of peace of mind.

Thanks again, and I hope to relay good news to you in the near future! Best Wishes,"  -J, CA

"Heike,

Got an email saying I'm in at Duke. That was easy... They can't send me an official letter yet, because they needed to forward my application to the Psych department since I applied for a JD/MA, and the psych department might not review until January. Thought I'd let you know!"  -S, VA

"Hey Amy!

Just wanted to let you know that I did end up at American. I was deciding between here, Case Western, and Brooklyn (where I was admitted off the wait list), and American/ Washington DC won out. I probably would have gone to William & Mary if they had let me in off the wait list, but apparently they were over enrolled for this year. I think it was probably for the better, though, because so far I am loving DC and AU. Thanks again for all of your help!"  -E, NY

"Hi Derek,

I landed at Brooklyn Law so I guess alls well that ends well we targeted them and it worked out well so I'm happy. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you I have been trying to get settled and doing orientation activities etc etc... Thanks again for the assistance with the process in a word you rocked I would likely have been far less successful in the absence of your assistance."  -H, NY

"Hi Michael,

Just wanted to give you a quick update on my status. So far, I have been accepted to Georgetown, George Washington, Northwestern, WashU (w/ full scholarship) and Michigan (w/ invitation to apply for a scholarship). I'm still waiting to hear from Columbia, Chicago, Penn, Cornell, and Harvard. Anyway, thank you again for everything you did for me and my applications. I don't think I would have such good news to report if it hadn't been for your help. I hope the cycle is going well for you and your other clients.

Best," -M, GA

"Hi Michael -

Just thought I'd let you know that I' got into Georgetown and NYU this week! Regarding my 'extensive campus involvement' - your advice about lengthening that portion of my resume clearly worked!

Happy holidays! I'll keep you updated!" -P, Washington DC

"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, CA

"Dear Michael:

Great news! I just received the Columbia ED acceptance! I'll have to immediately withdraw all my other applications, including my acceptances to Duke and Georgetown.

I can't express how thankful I am to you for all the help and guidance you provided throughout the process. I have no doubt in my mind that it made a huge difference for me. Thanks again!

Best," -W, NY

"Hi Amy,

I just received a favorable admit letter from Ohio State U. It says that, We are pleased to inform you that you have been favorably recommended for admission to the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law for Autumn 2008. Sincerely,"  -Z, China

"Hi Amy,

I was accepted at Tulane and I'm going. I visited the school last week and I was very impressed. New Orleans seems to be a great city and I'm excited. Thanks for your input."

-J, TN

"Michael,

Thanx for emailing, I wanted to let you know I got into Syracuse, Hofstra, Florida Coastal and Howard. I also received a $15,000 merit Scholarship from Howard. I wanted to thank you for all your help in the process."

-S, TX

"Dear Mark,

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

Thank you very much!!!" -B, CT

"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, MD

"Hi Amy:
I have some very good news to report--I have just got the acceptance letter from the University of Michigan! The decision came so soon. My file had barely been complete for 2 weeks. I think the new personal statement and an earlier submission of my application made all the difference!

Thank you very much. I wouldn't be able to get into my top choice without your help! Best regards,"  -X, GA

"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!"  -M, CA

"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, PA

"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, MA

"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, CO

"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, MD

"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, CT

"Maria,

I was attending a law school and was feeling frustrated. I decided to apply as a transfer student and was accepted at a school that was probably above my pay grade, but a great fit. Amy helped me draft a personal statement that touched on the highlights of my application, bringing them together in a way that would speak to admissions committees.

Realistically, applying to law school without the perspective of a professional is a mistake. It is too competitive and there is too much at stake to not consult someone with experience. With that said, I would encourage anyone considering law school to talk to Amy. Working with Amy was a pleasure and quickly paid dividends.

Best," -T, SC

"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, NY

"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, CA

"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, AL

"Dear Heike,

I am happy to report that my transfer applications were accepted at both George Washington and UVA. I wanted to thank you again for all your help and support throughout this process - I know that you have gone above and beyond for me, and I *deeply* appreciate it. Thank you *so* much. If there's anything I can do to repay the favor, please let me know. I hope your summer is going extremely well, and I wish you all the best.

Sincerely," -T, VA

"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, NY

"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, VA

"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, CA

"Hello Heike,

I hope you are well and enjoying your summer. I thought you might enjoy an update as per my law school status. I honestly cannot thank you enough for all of your help. With your help I was accepted to six law schools. You have been a tremendous resource and a wonderful guide. Please be well. I will certainly keep in touch.

Sincerely, " D, IL
