I highly recommend Anna to anyone navigating the law school admissions process. Anna drew on her years of experience and deep understanding of how law school admissions really work. More than that, she was a steady, calming presence whenever I got anxious about the details, always helping me see the bigger picture and focused on what really mattered. I’m so grateful to have her by my side during a stressful time.
Success with Harvard and Yale LLM Applications
Cannot Thank Ada Enough
I was admitted to my top choice T14 school and could not have done it without Ada’s guidance. From the outset, Ada quickly picked up on the factors that set me apart as an applicant and provided key insights on how to best communicate my strengths. When hitting a roadblock, Ada was someone who I could always brainstorm with to find creative ways to tell my story. Ada also offered excellent guidance regarding application strategies. I strongly recommend Ada Sheng to anyone considering applying to law school. I cannot thank her and Anna Ivey Consulting enough!
The Best Thing About Anna's Service Is the Peace of Mind
I spent 2 months banging my head against a brick wall trying to come up with a good personal statement before I got smart and contacted Anna. The crux of my dilemma was an uneasiness to talk about certain obstacles that have shaped who I am. Once I went through Anna's detailed brainstorm questionnaire, I realized that my PS didn't touch on anything meaningful. It was blah. Anna encouraged me to switch my topic and I reluctantly agreed (kicking and screaming the entire way). With her guidance, I spent one night writing a PS that was far superior to my 2-month tome! Later, Anna pretty much destroyed and rebuilt my resume, the one part of my application that I thought didn't need much work.
The Best Decision I Could Have Made
Choosing to work with Ivey Consulting was the best decision I could have made for my law school application process. I worked with Teresa who was insightful, constructive, and supportive at every step of the process. I am ecstatic with the results of my application process and am positive I would not have received the same offers without Teresa’s guidance.
Penn ED Success for Reapplicant
As a reverse splitter and international re-applicant, I was confident in my strengths but unsure how to craft a compelling application. Ada helped me understand what admissions committees look for and guided me through writing each essay so that my voice stood out and my strengths were showcased in the best possible way. On top of that, the entire Anna Ivey Team has been nothing but professional and punctual throughout the process (super important with rolling admissions timeline). It has truly been a pleasure
Made the Admissions Process Much Less Stressful
I have no doubt that working with Teresa and the team at Ivey Consulting played a huge role in my successes during the law school application process. From the very beginning, Teresa worked diligently to ensure that my application (especially my personal statement) was not just strong but outstanding. We parsed through countless drafts together, addressing everything from major thematic points to the minute details that gave my essay its voice.
Janeille Pushed Me to Reflect Deeper
In my first conversation with Janeille, she listened to a jumble of my seemingly unrelated experiences and asked questions that pushed me to reflect deeper on my experiences. I was left with chills at the end of our call. After writing a draft, her edits were detailed, and it became clear that she was thoughtfully reviewing every sentence, word, and punctuation. Ultimately, the personal statement was a cohesive, genuine piece of writing that let admissions learn a great deal about me in only two pages. Janeille’s help didn’t stop at the essays.
I Knew My Essays Must Have Made an Impression
Before my initial consultation with Janeille, I submitted two personal statement drafts and many personal anecdotes responsive to the Ivey questionnaire. Even though I threw in the kitchen sink, Janeille’s insightful follow-up questions tapped into aspects of my background, which I had not even considered as potential personal statement topics.
Columbia's Hamilton Fellowship with Anna's Help
Disclosure Incident From College
I was more than a bit scared to apply to law school when I found out I would be having to disclose an incident during my time in college. I immediately paid for a phone call with Anna and had a great conversation with her. Anna was wonderful throughout the whole process, giving me ideas for how to best articulate what happened. She was kind, patient, intelligent, and serious about limiting the damage as much as we could to help my case when applying. She had a very positive attitude and was a delight to engage with. I am so grateful to Anna and very much in her debt.
Ada's Dedication and Patience
I simply wanted to extend a sincere and profound thank you for all the drafts you edited and the advice you offered as we applied to so many different law schools. The process made me realize sometimes one's biggest strength is having the self-awareness to understand where one's weaknesses are and seeking the necessary help to compensate for them.
Anna Had My Back Every Single Step of the Way
Anna Ivey had my back every single step of the way. She worked with me as I dealt with the tough decision to postpone my law school cycle one year to improve my LSAT score. With her encouragement and kindness, I knew I was in the best hands from the start. She made certain I capitalized on every angle possible and thanks to her commitment to me as an applicant I have been more successful than I could have imagined. I am forever grateful.
Happy News from Berkeley, NYU, Duke, UCLA, and Michigan
Not only did Janeille help me select life experiences that would best capture my unique perspective and personal development, she also encouraged me to communicate those experiences in an authentic and fresh voice.
Janeille’s guidance is invaluable, especially when one is applying to top law schools known for their holistic review processes.
Sliced through the twaddle
Anna Ivey is a gift from the gods. After being wait-listed and finally rejected from University of Virginia School of Law after I applied on my own, I signed up with her and re-applied the following year. Anna performed an extensive background evaluation to brainstorm about potential essay topics and came up with a gem, one that was right in front of me but that I had never considered.
Working with Anna Ivey was such a delight
Working two jobs and getting my family ready to move to another state for law school doesn't leave me much time for writing unsolicited reviews of products or services. However, working with Anna Ivey was such a delight that I am compelled to share a few thoughts. In my experience, I found only one discrepancy between Anna Ivey as advertised and Anna Ivey in reality: she delivered more than what she promised.
Janeille Believed In Me
HEY!!! Great news and so relieving. I was accepted to [law school] under the condition that I complete my masters program before entering law school and will start in the fall! It’s relieving in the sense that I can now relax and complete my graduate studies and prepare for law school next year. Thank you so much for being a part of this journey and sticking by me when no one else did. Thank you for believing in me.
At Ease With Anna in My Corner
My Experience with Ada has Been Nothing Short of Life-Changing
I would not be where I am today without her, and I will never forget that she is the reason for the future that now lies ahead of me. From our first conversation, through many essays and interview prep, Ada was unfailingly kind, always honest, and unwilling to let me submit anything less than my best work. She kept my expectations realistic, while still encouraging me to shoot for the stars.
Their Service and Expertise are Second to None!
As a non traditional applicant, I struggled with finding resources to help me through the law school application process, including how to study effectively for the LSAT. Anna spent time and efforts to understand who I was and had that well reflected on my application. I believe this is the factor that helped me get accepted to a T-14 law school. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her team of admission experts to all college and law school applicants. Their service and expertise are second to none!
