Spivey Consulting Group Omdömen 75

I worked with Kristen Mercado and had a great experience with Spivey. As a mid-career applicant, I didn’t have many people in my life I could bounce ideas off of or ask to look over my essays, so I really appreciated having a second opinion and an extra set of eyes on my applications before I submitted them. Kristen also helped course-correct me a few times when I was going in the wrong direction on a particular essay or application component, based on an admissions officer’s perspective, which I never would have thought of on my own. She was also very helpful in answering the random questions I had throughout the process, especially as unexpected issues came up.

I can’t say for sure whether working with a consultant changed my results in the end, but at the very least, it made the process significantly more manageable, which for me was 100% worth it. I ended up getting accepted to three T-14s as a low-GPA/high-LSAT splitter, and I’m completely satisfied with my results.

I am so glad I worked with Spivey Consulting this cycle! My consultant Rodia Vance was incredibly knowledgable, warm, and insightful--her expertise aided my law school applications immensely. As a first generation law student the application process could be murky, but my consultant helped clarify my many questions. The competence and reassurance that she offered made Spivey well worth the cost, and I am very happy with the results!

I highly recommend using Spivey Consulting Group for waitlist assistance, especially if you have the opportunity to work with Nick Everdell. He was very responsive throughout the process and supportive of my goals. I received a response to every email within 24 hours, and it rarely took the full 24 hours. If you want peace of mind while navigating the waitlist process, this is a great option.

Sam Parker is incredible to work with. She is timely, thoughtful, and thorough in her feedback and advice. I had very specific goals, but a lack of clarity in how to achieve them. Sam helped me do just that and I found success on every front. Helping convert lived experiences, dreams, and goals into a law school application is a difficult task that Sam had mastered. I am grateful for her assistance and the rich knowledge that Sam, and the rest of the Spivey team, possess. Sam also sends an in-depth, personable update to each client, each month that paints a clear picture of what is going on in that moment in the world of law school admissions. My highest recommendation to Sam!

Rodia was incredibly helpful. As a first-generation law student, I knew I needed guidance throughout the law school application process. I had so many questions and concerns about every aspect, both specific and general. Rodia was incredibly helpful and knowledgable in answering all of my questions, and explaining concepts about the application process to me in a detail-oriented, data-based, experience-based way. I felt very confident turning in my application materials, and I could not be happier with my cycle's results. I could not recommend Rodia more!

Sam was an amazing consultant and guide in my law school application process. I didn't know anyone who had applied to law school or had gone to really help me understand this process, and she did such an amazing and caring job of teaching me how the process works and what to really emphasize in my story and essays. We also worked on deciding what school to pick and ensuring I got the maximum amount of scholarship to help me attend. I just cannot recommend her enough. She brings so much knowledge and experience to her approach it really helps you see how to maximize your position and take advantage of you going through an already stressful process.

This past admissions cycle I had the distinct pleasure of working with Samantha Parker. Long story short, I’ll be attending my dream law school this fall.

If that wasn’t enough for you, dear reader, Sam’s guidance played no small part in ensuring my application exhibited a compelling, cohesive narrative. She was consistently attentive and responsive, often preemptively flagging portions of my application admissions officials would want clarified or expanded.

I highly recommend Sam to anyone, especially those working or studying while applying. She possesses a deep knowledge of the process, in addition to that of her colleagues at Spivey, and so eliminates the need to spend hours wringing the truths of admissions out of subreddits and podcasts. Thanks to that, I was able to apply relatively stress free (there will be stress no matter what you do), secure in the knowledge that I had put my best foot forward.

I worked with Spivey to refine my law school applications for the '25-'26 cycle and had an absolutely amazing experience. My advisor Anna was extremely attentive, helpful, and responsive from day one. As a first-generation law student, it made a world of difference to have someone provide honest, grounded feedback while encouraging me to reach for the stars and apply to my dream schools. I felt as if my story truly mattered, and I knew that Anna was always rooting for me.

I was accepted to multiple schools that I thought I had no chance at, including Harvard, where I will be going this fall. A HUGE thank you to Anna and the team at Spivey--I couldn't have done it without you!

Working with Rodia Vance as a Spivey Pro Bono Client was truly a boon, particularly during what was an unprecedentedly intense admissions cycle. Rodia was careful to keep the reins in my hands throughout the entire process, nudging me in the right direction with candid advice as I crafted my essays, prepared for interviews, and polished my resume, but also giving me the agency to follow my instincts and curate an application package that remained true to me. I am grateful to her, and to Spivey Consulting Group, for inundating me with important information that is too often gatekept in the pre-law community. With their support, I felt empowered and informed when I was applying to law school - and I am now preparing to enroll at my top choice in the fall!

I had the pleasure of working with Kevin this past cycle, and as someone who felt like I didn’t have a particularly compelling story, I am confident that I put forth my best application. There is so much admissions information circulating online, but knowing I could check in with Kevin on a weekly basis and hear his inside scoop, backed by actual admissions office experience, always helped calm my nerves and keep a level head—especially when it seemed to make sense to rush things. Regarding my written materials, we spent a lot of time together composing the right narrative, which is where I think Kevin’s expertise shines and made a real difference in my outcomes.

My results have been very positive, with a handful of T14 acceptances (including one of my dream schools) and strong scholarship outcomes across the board. Kevin’s support was instrumental, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Highly recommend Spivey and working with Julia Truemper. Julia was incredibly attentive, responsive, and thoughtful as I worked through my applications. Cannot recommend her and the team enough!

I worked with Paula Gluzman and I have to say her guidance was essential in my application being successful and getting me accepted into Penn Carey Law School. Of course, my opinion reflects only my experience but I can say with certainty if I had not made the investment to work with Paula I would not have been able to start my law school in September of 2026. Specifically, there is a lot of minute details and nuances that must be taken into account when applying for law school, especially when submitting a large number of applications. The details become even more overwhelming when you realize that each school has its own unique application process. However, working with Paula was extremely helpful because she streamlined the complicated application process and made it manageable given the relatively short amount of time that I had. In addition, I should say that the feedback that Paula provided me after reviewing my essays and application material was also extremely helpful and constructive. Her feedback was honest, detailed, and straightforward and she was very quick and responsive when replying to my emails. She was also very clear about her availabilities which made planning easier. Overall, given my personal circumstances and the tight timeline that I was on, Paula's guidance and feedback was absolutely a game-changer for me and enabled me to put together a polished, top-notch application that eventually got me into Penn Carey Law School.

From start to finish, Hannah ensured that my application cycle would yield the best results possible given my complicated circumstances (lower GPA, later application submission, highly competitive cycle). All that considered, I knew I'd have an uphill battle in front of me applying to highly competitive law programs; Hannah helped to set realistic expectations, maximize the potential of my written materials, and keep me on track. She was always available when I needed her, and gave wonderful advice regarding which schools to apply to and where to focus my energy. Additionally, she was greatly helpful navigating the addendum process and making sure that these materials helped, rather than hurt, my application. Overall, I had a wonderful experience working with Hannah and was ultimately admitted to my top choice law school thanks to her expertise. I would highly recommend working with both Hannah and Spivey during the law school application process.

I just finished an amazing admissions cycle with Anne Dutia. Because I have some non-traditional aspects of my educational, professional, and personal history, she did a great job ensuring that every piece of my story tied together in a cohesive manner. Further, she was instrumental in helping me trim unnecessary parts of my essays while elaborating on valuable parts that I had omitted.

Her communication style is also praiseworthy. I was clear on the outset that I preferred direct feedback to sugarcoating. Anne really delivered on this. She was very honest (but polite) about bad ideas that I initially thought were good, and her suggestions came back timely and in great detail.

In hindsight, this service was even more helpful than I originally expected. Given the value of admission results and scholarships, the five application package I bought would've still been worth it at twice the price.

My advisor Paula was so caring and patient from day one. She gave me a roadmap, surrounded me with resources, and made herself available all the time. No questions were too small or too large for her and she was genuinely invested in my success. My applications would not have been the same without her! I have some friends who used other Spivey consultants and have not had exactly the same experience so there is perhaps some variance among consultants.

Spivey Consulting was extremely helpful! They helped me put together the best law school application, highlighting all of my strengths. I especially loved working with Sam Parker. She is extremely thorough, caring, and knowledgeable about the field of law school admissions. With her help, I was admitted to my top-choice law school! I'd recommend any law school applicant to work with Sam or another member of the Spivey Team.

Sam was instrumental in assisting my application process. She provided helpful and timely feedback on my written materials. Sam’s strategic advice was sound and significantly boosted my confidence throughout the application timeline. Furthermore, her communication and professionalism were outstanding. I would highly recommend her to any interested clients!

I had a fantastic experience working with Spivey Consultant Sam Parker. Sam exemplifies professionalism and her expertise was invaluable to my admissions process. Sam guided me throughout the admissions process, and worked with me to ensure that I was bringing out the best in myself in my applications. Beyond her professionalism and expertise, Sam is a fantastic person and was a joy to work with. I would highly recommend Sam Parker and Spivey Consulting Group to any prospective JD applicant.

Working with Sam Parker was a wonderful experience! She is incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, committed, and knowledgeable about law school admissions. I got into all my top-choice schools, and having Sam’s guidance and feedback throughout the process was invaluable and also made the stress so much more manageable. She is super supportive and at the same time pushes your application to its highest potential.

Sam was able to answer all my questions about the admissions process and was dedicated to providing feedback on my resume and essays. She was always responsive, empathetic, and thoughtful -- I always felt that I was in good hands.

I truly could not have asked for better guidance. I am so grateful to have worked with Sam. If you're considering working with Sam and Spivey Consulting, don't hesitate!

The recommendations that were made during the application process were always delivered considerately while still helpfully honest. I also felt my identity was respected and taken into account throughout writing my essays.
