What’s included in a comprehensive law school package vs. hourly?
These are genuinely different products built for different situations.
A comprehensive package covers the full strategic arc of a law school application: a thorough diagnostic intake and positioning deep-dive, a tailored Law School Strategy Brief, and an intensive multi-round drafting process for your personal statement, diversity statement, and all addenda. You work with a lead consultant who owns strategy and positioning, plus a dedicated essay specialist who works at the sentence level. That dual-role model is the baseline, not an upgrade.
The difference between tiers is number of schools, not scope of service. Silver, Gold, and Platinum all include the full core — strategy, personal statement, resume development, letters of recommendation support, interview prep, post-admit decision support, and waitlist strategy — with coverage for 1, 5, or 10 applications respectively. All tiers also include a blind review by a second seasoned consultant who evaluates your materials the way an admissions committee member would: no context, no prior knowledge, just the work itself. For candidates targeting competitive programs or managing complex profiles, this additional perspective is genuinely valuable.
Hourly and à la carte work is different in kind. It’s best suited for candidates who already have a coherent strategy and need a targeted second opinion — sharpening a personal statement, preparing for an interview, or getting a post-rejection assessment of what went wrong. What it’s not designed to replace is full-cycle consulting. Building a coherent application argument across multiple schools requires sustained strategic work, not a single session.
The consultation call is where we sort this out together. For law applicants, the deciding factors are usually practical: time, budget, and how much support you actually need given your situation.
