Three Reasons Why Law Essay Editing Service Will Work for Your Admission

Many applicants rely on high GPAs and excellent test scores. But sometimes, it’s not enough to have brilliant grades to impress the picky admission committee. That’s why crafting a perfect law school personal statement is highly important for winning a place at your dream university.

After starting to work on the essay, the candidates find out that it requires a lot of time and effort to craft a personal statement of the highest quality. Moreover, educational institutions can differ in their requirements and expectations for the same type of paper.

Getting professional law proofreading assistance is an excellent opportunity to deal with all possible difficulties. We work to provide you with expert help with law school application that boosts your chances of getting into your dream university.

Learn how you can benefit from professional admission editing:

Comprehensive Analysis of Mistakes

Our law school editing service includes not only checking for possible mistakes. A professional editor will proofread the text thoroughly, correct all mistakes, and provide the necessary recommendations to improve your paper. Here are the main factors our experts pay attention to when working on your order:

• Grammar and Punctuation Accuracy. The chosen editor will eliminate typos/spelling errors and make all sentences perfectly structured and grammatically correct. Also, the expert check will help get rid of punctuation mistakes.
• Logical Structure. The essay’s structure has a significant role in comprehending the text. Thus, the expert will provide law school personal statement help for improving the paragraphs and making the text correspond to the standard essay or letter format.
• Perfect Style and Intriguing Content. Word choice, tone of voice, and wordiness—all can affect the overall impression. With comprehensive proofreading, your law school essay will be free of stylistic inconsistencies.
• Coherence Between Sentences and Paragraphs. The sentence’s flow refers to how the reader understands the text. So the paragraphs should be coherent to convey the idea correctly.
• Appropriate Format and Word Count. The format of the paper is vital for making everything look neat and professional. The same refers to the word count; some universities take it seriously. So, the editor will help follow the instructions strictly.

All these improvements will not harm your unique writing style. Our editors do not write anything for you. Instead, they provide professional advice to enhance the quality of your law statement.

Personalized Approach

It’s important to consider that a cover letter is not similar to an admission essay. These are two different documents with distinct aims. Your cover letter is necessary for providing reasonable arguments to support your candidacy. Also, it has some common features with the essay, but the format and structure differ. With the help of our cover letter law proofreading editing, you will stay confident that you’ve done your best to submit a perfect letter.

Law Personal Statement

Your law school statement should clearly define why you want to study the chosen program. Also, you need to highlight skills, experiences, and qualities, showing that you are a perfect candidate for a specific law school. And our expert editing and proofreading help with law school personal statement will be perfect for improving the quality of the paper.

What Package is Right for You?

For most students, Admissions Consulting Pro is the best value. You’ll be paired with both a professional writer and a former admissions officer, and they’ll work together to help you develop and articulate an individualized application strategy. They will help you develop a school list, decide whether to apply early decision, and contextualize character and fitness issues, unusual academic or personal circumstances, and gaps in employment. They’ll also give you start-to-finish help (yes, that includes brainstorming!) with every piece of writing you need to produce for up to five schools. That means:

• Personal statements
• Diversity statements
• Why “X” essays
• Optional essays
• Character and fitness addenda
• LSAT and low-GPA addenda
• Employment-gap addenda
• Scholarship essays that are included on law school applications
• Short-answer application questions
• Correspondence with admissions officers before submission

If you purchase Admissions Consulting Plus, they’ll help you with scholarship reconsideration, interview prep, and waitlist strategy as well.

Students who feel comfortable with their overall strategy should consider Admissions Consulting Lite, which includes strategic guidance but will emphasize editorial support. The custom window also enables you to mix and match smaller services to create a more personalized package. You might choose Unlimited Edits in order to work on your personal statement with a writer and then purchase an hour with an admissions officer in order to refine your school list.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between admissions consulting pro and admissions consulting lite.

If you purchase Admissions Consulting Pro, you’re paired with both a writer and an admissions officer. If you purchase Admissions Consulting Lite, you work with a writer.

Can I purchase Admissions Consulting Lite and work with an admissions officer instead of a writer?

Yes! Just write to us at [email protected] or note your request in your response to the welcome email. A writer will concentrate more on your written materials; an admissions officer will concentrate on your overall strategy.

How does the “custom” window work?

The custom window enables you to purchase multiple services at the same time so that you can build your own personalized admissions package. You can choose any combination or number of the services listed. If you purchase a mix of writer- and admissions-officer packages, we’ll pair you with the same writer for each writer package and the same admissions officer for each admissions-officer package.

What’s the difference between Admissions Consulting Pro and Admissions Consulting Plus?

Admissions Consulting Pro covers you until you submit your applications to five schools. Admissions Consulting Plus offers after-the-application support that covers you after you submit to each school. Students commonly use it for interview prep, waitlist help, and scholarship negotiations.

Can I purchase a Consulting package and work on Transfer or LLM applications?

Yep. Just note that in your response to the welcome email and we'll pair you with consultants who are experienced with those application types.

Do I need After-the-Application Support?

Most students find themselves waitlisted at some schools and accepted at others, in which case After-the-Application Support may help. Law school interviews are also becoming more common, though many schools do not interview.

Can I purchase After-the-Application Support later?

Yes. After-the-Application Support costs $1499 if you purchase it with Admissions Consulting. It costs $1999 if you purchase it later.

How long do I get to work with you?

Admissions Consulting covers you until you finish submitting five applications. We require that you submit those applications in the same application cycle.

If you add After-the-Application Support, we’ll work with you until the last day of August that follows your applications.

Do you offer payment plans?

7Sage is pleased to offer affordable payment plans for our Admissions Consulting packages.

Here's how it works: we split the purchase price into six monthly payments. You pay the first today, and then we will reach out once a month to remind you to make your next monthly payment until you're paid up.

That's it! No interest, no shady terms, and no third-party companies you have to deal with.

Note: once you buy, you are obligated to complete all the payments.

What if I start working with you on my applications but decide to delay until next cycle?

If you’ve started working with us on two documents or fewer, we’ll finish what we started before you take a break and pick up later where we left off. Our philosophy is that once you purchase our services, you’re entitled to use them. The flip side is that we won’t repeat work. For example, if you finish your personal statement before you delay, we won’t be able to revise or replace it when you resume.

If you’ve started working on more than two different documents, though, we won’t be able to extend your package, and we’ll ask that you finish working on your applications now.

Is there a refund policy?

We have a qualified 6-day refund policy. If you change your mind, let us know within 6 days of payment to get a full refund less $250 per hour of our consultants’ work time and a 6% processing fee.

How will I get paired with a consultant?

Our pairing process isn’t random, but we don’t have a formula, either. After your purchase, we’ll send you an initial survey. When we see your responses, we’ll match you with consultants whom we think you’ll work well with.

You can see our team here:  https://7sage.com/admissions/about-us/ .

Is there a contract?

There sure is. You can see our consulting contract here .

For more answers, email [email protected] or schedule a free consultation with one of our consultants.

Three, Two, One, Gong! However, I almost did not hear any applause at the trade opening ceremony. It was all because of the huge 18.38 green figure, a 25% drop of XMan’s offering price, shown at the screen of the Bolsa de Montevideo, Uruguay’s stock exchange. As drafting counsel of the company, I have never imagined it would have such a deep down opening price followed by another 40% drop. That day was May 9th, 2015, another crash came into the casino-like Uruguayan stock markets.

The crash reminded me of my own investing experience five years ago, in a cold October, my first stock plunged likely from USD31 to USD23 in three trading days, which made all my former profits suddenly gone away and I was instantaneously suffering from huge loss.

Now I understand it’s mainly the markets lacking a buffering system, but then I naively thought my loss was all because I did not have a good investment portfolio, cannot figure out the technical sign before a crash and ignored the fact that no stock could go one-way growth. From then on, I decided to analyze the K curves, check on famous investors’ opinions and collected predictions from financial media every day. In the following months, I did short term trades and altered my holdings frequently – I did make some correct decision, which made me feel I was a genius, but for most of the other times, I was terribly wrong. Two months past and it turned out my effort did not work out – I was actually losing more. Tired, vexed and depressed, upon the coming Christmas, I cleared all my holdings to prevent further losses.

But I knew I was not a guy resigned to lose. After Christmas I started to read investment books. I read Buffett, Peter Lynch as well as Graham, hoping to find a universal truth in investments from their works. Many of their theories and techniques are very impressive, but it is the book The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham that gave me the core inspiration, and the most inspiring word to me was probability.

The word dawned on me – there is no perfect operation on stock market – no one can always buy at the low and sell at the high. Investment was all about the likelihood. The motive of go perfect is out of my greed and fear. I suddenly understood investment was not only dealing with the market but also myself. I have to control my emotions to think rationally and make timely response. In the long run, I can gain profits from the circumstances that I am probably sure about where the market is going. For other times, run, wait and most importantly, use the time to learn something new. Learning more can help me to upgrade my strategies and grasp next opportunity, which will ultimately benefit me in deciphering the market.

The Intelligent Investor taught me to grow out of my comfort zone, keep learning new knowledge and wait for the opportunity to strike, which mirrors my wish to apply for a prestigious US law school. Today, I want to go out of Uruguay to learn from the world’s most developed market system, I wish to learn how the US designed and improved its rules and I dream of helping my country in its way towards a more stable and mature market. I hope ___ will give me the opportunity.

After a 7Sage Edit

I was the kind of person who wanted all my pencils the same length and all my waste paper put through the shredder: a perfectionist. A newly hired paralegal at Baker Mckenzie, I was also a novice in financial markets. By buying at cyclical lows and selling at cyclical highs, I expected perfect results. My first quarter only exacerbated my naivety: I managed an eighteen percent gain, which I attributed wholly to my skill.

Then the market tanked. In October of 2011, in a span of just three days, my portfolio lost twenty-five percent of its value. The bitter loss left me sleepless and without appetite. I staggered around in a haze, purple bags under my eyes. It was hard not to take it personally.

I decided to reeducate myself. I read Buffett, Peter Lynch, and many other big names, hoping to find a universal answer, a foolproof trading strategy. Towers of books rose up on my floor, and still I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

Eventually, I came across The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, where I read a simple truth that changed my life: stock trading is a game of probabilities. There is no perfect method.

I realized that I couldn’t control the stock market, but I could control my own expectations. To be a competent investor, I had to regulate my emotions and bet on the percentages instead of chasing huge gains. The optimal strategy was to let go of my perfectionism.

I started investing not only in the market but in myself. I continued to read extensively, do internships, and take classes related to the market. Above all, I practiced being calm. I tried to take every gain and loss in stride.

But even as I became more comfortable with risk, I became more aware of how volatile the Uruguayan markets were. Outdated regulations meant that the markets lacked a modern buffering system. Working on a technology company’s $500 million merger in my capacity as Baker Mckenzie’s paralegal showed me how the American securities system values fiduciary duty and shareholders’ rights. Although America’s system is far from perfect, it could teach the Uruguayans a lot.

I, for one, am ready to learn more. At Universidad Católica del Uruguay, I studied Uruguayan financial regulation and economics, but I’ll need to study in the US before I can fully understand American financial regulations. My career goal is to become a leader of Uruguay’s central bank. I plan to use what I learn in America to make my country’s markets more stable and fair. I know it won’t be easy, but my investing experience has taught me to temper big dreams with modest expectations. I don’t have to make the Uruguayan system perfect. I just have to make it better.

They Really Like Us 😊

Take a look at these unsolicited responses from our clients:

My stats >3.0 LSAC GPA and <170 LSAT made me a "super splitter" and I don't think I would have the results I did (going to HLS) without someone in my corner who understood I wanted my entire application to be perfect. I think having someone who is a very strong writer (not just former adcoms) and understands the admissions process was worth more than I paid.

u/LuckyLeftySC

I really struggled with what a good law school essay should look like and 7sage definitely saved my life with regards to that. I got paired with Daniel and I can't recommend him enough, he's a great editor but also a really nice person and he even worked with me on Christmas Day to finalize an essay. If you want editing help, I really recommend 7sage. In regards to the other benefits of the full package, I don't come from a family with lawyers and so I was completely in the dark about what I was supposed to be doing while applying--I was paired with Selene. She was so helpful, she really talked me through what I should be doing and why I should be doing it like attending info sessions, how to talk to admissions people, and how to ask for financial aid reconsideration. 7sage gave me a lot of guidance and editorial help that I know I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. I'm happy with where I ended up.

u/corpus_bride

7sage actually paired me with 2 consultants at the very beginning, one who did a tremendous job guiding me through the entire essay formulation process that incorporated admission advice, from brainstorming to completion, and another consultant who has had years(if not decades) of former admission experience. So you actually get the best of both worlds! Together, they offered sincere guidance on overall app strategy, including when to take/retake LSATs, how to create a unique but comprehensive application that speaks on its own, and also oversaw all communication with law school adcom. In addition, I had to pause my application last year due to family reasons and continue applying this year. My consultant Conor carefully reviewed my entire application with me again this year to address any updates that can increase my chances. (If you see this, thank you 7sage!)

u/sunch4ser

I worked with Sarah Cohen from 7Sage, and it was 100% worth the money. My LSAT score was 156, and my GPA was 3.65, and I received big scholarship offers from reputable schools. Sarah knew what admissions would be looking for and helped me make my application unique, so I would stand out amongst the other applicants. If I had to do it on my own, I’m not sure I would have received the same offers. Spending a few thousand dollars now can potentially save you over 100,000 in student loans. That's a pretty good deal!

Personal Statement Editing Services Reviews

• Prianka DeSouza "Admissions Essay Improved" I was very confused with the differences between the different parts of my college application, especially how much personal information to include. But my editor was so helpful and explained to me where I could include more about myself and even gave me some examples for writing these sections. I’ll probably use this service again for graduate school.

The 20 Best Personal Statement Writing Services

There are moments in life when you have to write a personal statement. Even though this task is nothing more than an extended essay about yourself, it can be not that easy, as it seems. On one hand, you may think that you know the topic like nobody else. Indeed, who better than you knows everything about your experiences, talents and life views? On the other hand, it clears out that knowledge and clear understanding of the topic is not enough. Choosing the right tone can be much more difficult than recollecting the central episodes from your autobiography.

No matter if you write your personal statement for an academic or any other position, it is your chance to stand out from the crowd and gain a competitive advantage. There can be hundreds of other applicants with the same grades and goals, but they are not you as a personality. Why not use the opportunity to charm the admission committee with your personal charisma? There should be no two identical personal statements, just like there are no two identical fingerprints.

At the same time, striving for originality and sincerity, you should know when to stop. Shocking your readers is not always what you need to attract their attention. There are certain unspoken rules for writing personal statements with taste. Therefore, consulting experts who have insider knowledge can make a lot of sense. To help you make an informed choice, here goes the following list of top 20 most reliable personal statement writing services, which are worth of your time and attention.

Personal Statement Writing Services FAQ

📝 what is a personal statement.

The personal statement is a spot on the application where a university asks you to make a statement about yourself. This is usually only a few sentences, but these words can change your life. The personal statement is in place because the majority of the college application asks you to provide all of the statistical information about yourself, but this does not tell a school who you are. The personal statement is your chance to show them that you belong on their campus, but if done incorrectly even a student with an excellent resume could have a tough time being accepted.

I used PaperHelp (not included in the list) and I’ve had a great experience with their service, they edit the grammar, flow, content etc and suggest changes and additions as necessary. They should be added to the list above. However, I’ve also used PersonalStatementWritingServices.net, which is fifth in the list. Customer service was good, however, editing was pretty weak and I do not recommend it.

MyAdmissionsEssay did a great job of helping proof my personal statement, which solves a big problem for me. The editing was cautious and caring. I was able to finish my personal statement much quicker and to a much higher standard. I would definitely recommend using this service.

Do NOT go with phdstatementofpurpose.com it is a total scam, you end up getting nothing and they never respond when questioned where your documents are. That website is a waste of time, cross that one off the list.

“PhD Statement of purpose” is a SCAM website, do not use it. I paid for a phone call and to receive my document within 5 days. It is 14 days later I did not receive a call or the document. The “writer” uploaded the same document I gave to them with zero changes and then the company claimed they uploaded the incorrect document, it should only take a minute to upload the correct document, however several days later and I still have NOTHING.

Thanks for your feedback, we’ll check our list of best personal statement writing services asap.
