About All Rise Admissions

I am a law professor and former admissions decision-maker who brings firsthand insight into how top law schools evaluate applicants.

I have been helping students reach their admissions goals for over 20 years. At Stanford Law School, I not only taught and advised students in the Corporate Governance and Practice program but also reviewed and made admissions decisions.

As an admissions consultant, I help applicants understand how admissions committees actually think—what signals matter, how files are read holistically, and how to position their experiences for maximum impact. My approach is informed not only by theory, but also by having sat on the other side of the table.

I especially welcome working with international LL.M. students—international LL.M. applications are reviewed differently from J.D. applications, and LL.M. applicants deserve advice that is tailored to their needs, not just rebranded advice for J.D.s.
