Tony has over ten years of experience working with prospective law students, including Assistant Director of Admissions positions at three top law schools: The university of Michigan, New York University, and the University of Washington. He is passionate about working with students to demystify the application process and to provide individualized strategic counseling to help each student present the best application possible.
After graduating from the University of Michigan Law School, Tony spent time at a large New York law firm working primarily in international product liability litigation and moonlighting as an advisor to the firm's many paralegals who were applying to law school. He then spent over five years as the Assistant Director of Admissions Tony, PowerScore Admissions Consultant at three top law schools: the University of Michigan, New York University, and the University of Washington. During this time he counseled hundreds of applicants through the application process and read thousands of applications.
Tony's interest in counseling has led him to the University of Chicago, where he currently pursuing an A.M. degree specializing in clinical social work. When he has free time, he enjoys playing obscure European board games and watching old movies.
It started over ten years ago when I was an applicant myself! I was the first in my family to go to college, so graduate school applications were completely foreign. I was lucky to have some great mentors, though, and I ended up at my top choice law school. Later, I worked for close to six years in law school admissions and saw how the process worked at a number of institutions. I've read thousands of applications and I have a good sense of what works and what doesn't.
I used some of Powerscore's materials to study for the LSAT (which worked out well for me!), so it's been a company I've respected for a long time. I'm passionate about working with students, and I know from personal experience how the application process can be difficult to navigate. I'm excited to use my behind-the-scenes experience to help students craft the best applications possible.
I think it's important to get to know each student I work with. Why are they applying to law school? How did they get to this point, and what do they hope to achieve? There's no one-size-fits-all approach to the application process—it's only by doing individualized work with each client that we can discover the best approach to their application.
Good question! I think anybody who feels overwhelmed by or anxious about the admissions process will benefit from Powerscore's services. We can help with broad strategic questions like: where should you apply? What should you highlight in your application? How can you best position yourself for financial aid? But we can also help with the nitpicky details: Is your resume formatted correctly? Do you have typos in your personal statement?
Start getting your ducks in a row as soon as possible, and apply early! Nearly every law school operates on a "rolling admissions" basis, so applying early puts you in the best position for admission and financial aid opportunities.
In early September, the biggest thing is certainly to register for the LSAT this fall if you haven't taken it already or if you plan to retake it. If you are going to take it, make a study schedule and stick to it! Powerscore classes are a great way to prepare, but no matter what you do you should prioritize studying as much as possible. After that, I would plan to spend substantial time on developing your personal statement. Start early so that you have lots of time for revisions.
That depends on a lot of factors and will depend on what each applicant is looking for. For some students it may be important to go to a highly-ranked law school, and for others it may be better to go to a school with ties to the market they plan to practice in. It really depends for each student and I'd encourage anybody struggling with this question to talk to me!
