Law School Admissions Consulting

Strategic JD Admissions Support from Mentors Who Understand Legal Education and Pathways

Another Degree mentors help you navigate the law school admissions process with clarity and purpose. Our support is designed for applicants preparing for JD programs as well as other graduate pathways in law and legal studies.

​

We use the term "mentor" because Another Degree offers more than traditional law school admissions consulting. Our current mentors graduated from top law schools and have built careers in industries like healthcare, technology, education, and policy - and we're always growing to onboard professionals who understand how legal education connects to real careers. You receive the combined strengths of an admissions consultant, academic advisor, and career‑focused coach who helps you articulate your motivations for pursuing law and present a compelling, authentic application.

How it works and what to expect

• Law school admissions consulting sessions are held online and tailored to your goals and stage in the application process.

• You can view our mentor list and request a direct booking for an initial session at a time that works with your schedule - or complete the form on this page to request a mentor match.

• You may receive a notification if your mentor requests more information before your first meeting. This allows them to review your materials or learn more about your interests, experience, and goals.

• Unlike other admissions consulting companies that rely on upselling and commissions, there is no obligation to commit to multiple sessions. We recommend starting with one session. Afterward, you will be offered discounted package options if you would like continued support. You can also use session packages across multiple mentors to build a team with complementary strengths.

• Users who purchase multiple session packages will receive access to a private online learning community moderated by Another Degree mentors. This space offers peer support, Q&A threads, writing accountability, and guidance between your one-on-one meetings

• Have other questions? Pull up the "let's chat" tool on this page, reach out via our contact form, or consult our frequently asked questions page. Learn more about what makes us different on our blog post: Why Choose Another Degree.
