Frequently Asked Questions on Law School Admissions Consulting

Is Law School Admissions Consulting right for me?

Most applicants are going to be qualified for some range of schools. However, most people are on "the bubble" somewhere, meaning the next level of schools is just beyond their reach. Applicants applying to competitive programs, international applicants, weaker writers, or those who have complicating factors, weaker LSAT scores or GPAs that need to be addressed can all benefit from the guidance of a seasonsed admissions consultant.

How does the service work?

One business day after you enroll in Law School Admissions Consulting, you will receive a welcome email, including a brief survey. The survey inquires about your goals, target schools, and more to help us better understand your needs. We then use this information to match you with the right consultant. Or, let us know who are your top three consultant choices and we'll be happy to match you with one of your preferred consultants.

The service is delivered remotely with your consultant advising you via phone and email. The remote delivery allows Kaplan to provide the most convenient scheduling and to match you with exactly the right consultant regardless of geography.

What are the consultants' credentials?

Kaplan's law school admissions consultants are so effective because of their deep experience in the field. Most have served on admissions committees or as advisors—many at the top law schools—and they bring really cogent insight into the admissions decision-making process. Most importantly, they understand that this process is about you presenting the best you possible. Our consultants know how essential it is to preserve and amplify your voice. They bring their expertise to bear to help you succeed.

Does my consultant do the work for me?

No. Kaplan consultants work with you to enhance your original work. They'll help you brainstorm, polish your work, and help you position yourself for the greatest effect. But don't forget, medical school is a very personal choice—it's important that the schools understand who you are as a person. And Kaplan law school admissions consultants can help you do that.

How should I best use the consulting time?

Our consultants have "billable" hours for the services they provide. They have guidelines as to how much time to spend on any individual aspect of the service and will continuously update you on the amount of time you have remaining. If you don't use all of your purchased time, you can receive a refund for all whole unused hours at the rate of $100/hr. In addition, if you wish to add time, you can purchase additional hours at the rate of $249/hr. There are several different package options available that drop the per hour price down as little as $145/hr.* You may not purchase individual hours before purchasing one of our standard packages.
