My time working with Juris could not have been more enjoyable! I took my LSAT on June 21st with the goal of applying to Harvard, Stanford, and Yale Law School, and knew I needed to quickly turn my attention to my applications.
I have a relatively overrepresented professional background and was concerned about how I could stand out from the many with identical work experience. I knew I wanted to engage a consultant and knew I needed someone who (1) could dedicate the time to truly understand what makes me ME, (2) keep up with my rapid pace of iterations, and (3) had a diverse client base such that he or she wasn't giving the exact same, cookie-cutter advice to dozens of other applicants struggling with the same issue. Further, I knew that my working style would require a lot of consultation, discussions, and experimenting with ideas.
I did an intro call with Juris and quickly gained comfort around my couple of key criteria. I was attracted to the fact that each counselor only takes on 5 clients and that there is no limitations in terms of consultations, edits and changes.
Once I started working with my counselor, I was extremely impressed by his commitment to my application push. He spent hours on the phone with my drawing out every detail of my childhood up through my current job, taking detailed notes, and spitballing some potential essay topics. Yaron was also willing to speak with my parents for a few hours and used that conversation to fill in some of the detail about my younger years. What I was most impressed by, however, was the pace at which he turned things around. I would send him multiple full essay drafts almost every night before I went to sleep (between 12 am and 3 am) and would get back thoughtful comments on each draft the very next morning (even on weekends!). My counselor's geographic location allowed for this dynamic, and it was clear to me that he was reviewing my essays for hours starting from the moment he woke up.
I was incredibly proud of how my applications turned out and I attribute a great deal of my success to Juris' hands-on, white-glove approach to the process. I got the sense that they really cared about getting to know me and helping me reach my goals, which made the whole process that much more enjoyable and productive.
I have enthusiastically recommended Juris to all my coworkers and friends and hope my excitement has come through here. With Juris' help, I ultimately earned acceptance at Stanford Law School (along with a waitlist at Yale that is still pending at the time of writing).
