Spivey Consulting Group Anmeldelser 

I have a story and stats that make admissions complicated: an old GPA under 2.5, a very unusual background, and a story that was strong but hard to organize. They helped me turn all of that into an application that actually made sense.

Mike helped me personally, which says a lot about the kind of person he is and the kind of culture he has built. I worked with Mike, Paul, and Anna, who kept it extremely real. They took my application seriously, pushed me where I needed to be pushed, and helped me see what was actually compelling in my own story.

Anna was wonderful throughout the process. She was kind, calm, and thoughtful at moments when this whole thing felt pretty brutal. Also, Paul Rollins is amazing. If you can choose him, choose him. He is direct, smart, and really good at helping you sound like the best version of yourself instead of some polished admissions robot.

I ended up getting into Georgetown Law with an old sub-2.5 GPA. That is still pretty hard for me to believe. Spivey made this possible, and I'm beyond thankful.

Excellent experience, I highly recommend!

Julia was incredibly helpful throughout the application process. She was a wealth of information about each school, the process itself, and provided invaluable guidance on my essays.

I highly recommend Spivey Consulting. Julia Truemper was incredibly attentive and thoughtful when reviewing all of my written work. She had great feedback, catching big and small errors, and offered helpful insight into what admissions offices want to see. Working with Julia alleviated an immense amount of stress, I cannot recommend her services enough. Any time I doubted my word choice, or additional sentence, she was readily available to respond to any and all questions. As an extreme over thinker, having someone to turn to with my anxiety filled thoughts was absolutely worth it! I am admitted to one my dream schools and Julia really helped make it happen.

My consultant, Nikki Laubenstein, was professional, patient, and responsive throughout the cycle. I am very satisfied with and grateful for the advice and feedback she provided, and I would highly recommend Nikki and Spivey Consulting to prospective applicants. In an extremely competitive cycle, I was admitted to T14 law schools that are truly dream schools for me.

Samantha Parker was an incredible guide and mentor throughout my law school application process. As someone transitioning from another industry, I initially felt intimidated and unsure of how to effectively share my story with admissions committees, but Sam provided thoughtful, strategic advice and helped me articulate my story with clarity and confidence. She was also consistently kind, supportive, and approachable, so I always felt comfortable asking any question, no matter how small.

Due to the fact that I was also balancing a full-time job, I was worried about scheduling, but Sam was incredibly flexible and always made time for me. It was easy to coordinate calls whenever I needed guidance, and I was also able to share updates on my SpiveySheet which was a useful tool to track my progress on applications.

Thanks to her support, I was admitted to nearly every school I applied to and am beyond excited with where I ended up. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Sam to anyone seeking help with their applications.

I had Sir Williams as my consultant for a law school essay and I would recommend his services to anyone that needs help with generating an essay topic, constructing a plan of action, essay formatting, review, and much more. Mr. Williams answered all of my questions in a timely and articulated manner. As someone who was having trouble in figuring out what I wanted to articulate in my essay, Mr. Williams made me feel like I had a game plan after only two calls! I am truly grateful for the assistance he provided me from the first consultation up until the final review. Mr. Williams respected my viewpoints and the experiences I wanted to discuss in my essay and I would be honored to recommend him to anyone that needs law school admissions consulting.

Rodia’s advice and editing suggestions were constructive and thorough. With her help, I was able to create polished applications to multiple schools, many of which I received high scholarships from. Overall, Spivey provides a wonderful service, particularly in an increasingly competitive law school application cycle.

Working with Nikki throughout my law school application process was truly an incredible experience. From the very beginning, she guided me through every step with clarity, patience, and genuine care. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful process felt manageable and even exciting because of her support.

Nikki was always available to answer questions, review materials, and provide thoughtful, honest feedback that strengthened my application. She didn’t just focus on the logistics, she took the time to understand my goals and helped me present the strongest version of myself.

When the anxiety of awaiting decisions set in, she was there to reassure and encourage me. And when the acceptances finally came in, she celebrated right alongside me, which made those moments even more special.

I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend Nikki to anyone navigating the law school application process.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Joe Pollak! From the very beginning, it was clear how thoughtful, invested, and knowledgeable he is, and that only became more evident as we worked together.

I came into the process with strong stats and high expectations, but I didn’t fully know how to translate my experiences and goals into a cohesive, compelling application. Joe helped me do exactly that. He pushed me to clarify what I wanted out of law school, guided me in shaping my story in a way that felt authentic and polished, and supported me through every step of the process.

With his help, I achieved outcomes beyond my wildest dreams. I received the Rubenstein and Darrow scholarships, and ultimately also got to choose between Harvard and Stanford, along with admission to nearly every T-14 school I applied to.

More than anything, though, Joe was just an incredible person to have in my corner throughout this process. I was definitely not low-maintenance, and there were stretches where we met multiple times a week and I sent many questions and emails his way. He went through countless drafts with me, always with thoughtful, detailed feedback. He was incredibly responsive, and just as importantly, he was a steady, kind, and calming presence. Whenever I found myself spiraling or overthinking, he helped ground me and move forward with clarity and confidence.

Joe’s admissions experience came through in every aspect of the process, from big-picture strategy to the smallest details. I always felt like I was making informed, intentional decisions because of his guidance.

I genuinely could not have done this without Joe. Working with him was the best investment I made in this process. I recommend him and Spivey without hesitation. If you’re thinking about it, it’s 100% worth it!

I really enjoyed my time working with Nikki. I found her insights very helpful and her guidance made the whole process feel more organized and streamlined.

I enjoyed working with Sam Parker during the law school admissions process. I was initially hesitant about using Spivey since I had a relatively straightforward application. However, I am so glad that I did! Sam’s wealth of admissions knowledge and expertise was a grounding force during an often anxious, noisy process. She reviewed each of my essays several times and helped make essay drafting, interviewing, and waiting feel less overwhelming. That peace of mind was so worth it to me, and I’m headed to my top choice law school. I highly recommend working with Sam!

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!
