Spivey Consulting Group Avaliações 

I was recommended Spivey and my consultant Paula Gluzman through a mutual friend, and I am so grateful that I was able to work with her as a full cycle client. As a first generation law student, I really couldn’t have asked for a better match. Paula was not only helpful with advice and resources, but was also always responsive to my worries and stresses throughout the entire process. I honestly had no idea where to start and what I had to offer law schools, and she really helped with personally tailoring my application in ways I hadn’t even considered. Her help with my essays was always honest and I felt like she could understand exactly what I wanted to say while giving constructive criticism on how I could better express it in my application. This cycle was stressful, and I can’t emphasize enough how helpful Paula’s advice & expertise, attitude, and encouragement the entire time was. I fully believe my admission to an amazing law school with a great scholarship offer during such a competitive cycle is absolutely in part due to Paula’s help. Spivey’s application resources, both free and provided, were very useful, and I would recommend Paula to anyone applying to law school!

I cannot speak highly enough of Spivey, and especially my consultant Tom Robinson. Every single worry I had about the daunting process of law school admissions was quelled with knowledge, experience, and emotional support. I had initially began to work with Tom when I applied to my university's early assurance program. Even though I did not receive a favorable result, we still intended to work towards a positive outcome when applying regular decision the following fall. Tom was encouraging but also kept my expectations realistic, as for some law schools my GPA and LSAT were below medians. Nevertheless, he was committed to ensuring I presented the absolute best version of myself in my essays, resume, and overall application package. We were able to really break down why I wanted to go to law school and I got to know more about myself in the process. I never felt misled or confused about anything; Tom answered every single question I have promptly in great detail and assured me not to worry about getting an interview or seeing a change in my portal. As a first-generation college student, this support meant a lot to me because not having any experience or family to rely on made the process seem scary at first, but not after working with Spivey. When I did get interview requests, Tom knew exactly what they would ask and what I should be prepared for. As a result, I received acceptances to UChicago, Duke, the University of Michigan, NYU, USC, and Vanderbilt with a 168 LSAT and 3.92 GPA applying directly out of college. I will be attending NYU this fall on a full-ride scholarship as an AnBryce Scholar, all thanks to Tom and Spivey.

My experience with Spivey Consulting was amazing. I worked with Tom Robinson, who was kind, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful throughout what could have otherwise been an excessively stressful process. Tom is not only experienced and insightful, but also a great listener and thought partner. Because I worked with Tom and Spivey Consulting, I believe I was able to present the best version of myself in my applications. I was able to significantly overperform my statistics (LSAT and GPA) and gain acceptance to my dream law schools. I attribute this in large part to the careful and diligent drafting of my written essays, in which Spivey played a crucial role. I can't recommend them highly enough.

I worked with Shannon Davis during my law school admissions process, and her guidance was crucial to my admission outcome. Her feedback, strategizing, and patience really made the difference for me during my cycle. I highly recommend Shannon Davis to anyone and everyone, and I would like the folks at Spivey to know that she is doing a really wonderful job.

I cannot speak highly enough of Spivey and of Derek Meeker. Derek guided me through the process in a way that was informative, helpful, and effective. It is evident that Spivey consultants have an exceptional understanding of the law school admissions process and can utilize that understanding to truly help their clients. This was a tremendous investment!

Derek was a wonderful resource during my time with Spivey. He helped me navigate the ever-changing and complex world of law school admissions which resulted in me getting accepted to my first choice, an Ivy League institution. I cannot recommend him enough!

Derek from Spivey guided me through three grueling months of pursuit of admission from the waitlist at five different schools during one of the most grueling admissions cycles in law school history. His commitment to precise language, school-specific strategy, and development of unique and fresh ideas in gathering information and expressing interest to schools based on your specific situation as an applicant all amounts to unmatched consultation in law school admissions.

Spivey (Danielle Early) worked with me on three JD / MBA over the course of nine months. I applied with lowest quartile test scores / GPA and she helped me earn admission to Harvard and Yale! I was speechless!

Her relentless support of me and my application were undoubtedly the most decisive factors in my admissions. Thank you, Danielle and Spivey for your superb support to me through my application process!

My experience with Sir Williams was nothing short of amazing. He helped me gain admission to a great law school during an incredibly competitive cycle with a surge in applicants. Despite tight deadlines, he was always accommodating, responsive, and fully committed to my success. As a first-generation law student, I feel incredibly grateful to have had his guidance throughout this journey. Yes, the service is a financial investment—but for the level of personalized support and expertise the consultants provide, it’s absolutely worth it

Rodia was such an easy consultant to work with and made the admissions cycle feel like a breeze. As a first generation college and law student coming from a very small college that had no law advisor, I felt lost on where to even begin. Thankfully, I had the money to invest in Spivey and could not be happier that I did. Rodia made everything feel personal and made me feel important as an applicant. I was more worried about putting together my personal statement as I’ve never had to do so before, so as I shared my life experiences with her, she helped me narrow down what I should use for mine as well as who I such reach out for my letter of recs. I felt I had a pretty well rounded resume but she really was great in helping me tailor my resume to law schools and exactly what they look for. The double checks before submissions of applications was also especially helpful as everyone can use a second look by another eye to make sure everything looks as best as possible! Thanks to Rodia and Spivey I got into my top choice for law school and many others with some great scholarships offers. I could not be more thankful. If you have the resources, you should absolutely invest in Spivey Consulting, they won’t steer you wrong.

I can’t speak to their services, but I love their podcast with Mike and Anna who give exceptional admission advice. And also the guest they bring on are informative and great. I’d give the podcast more than 5stars if I could.

This was most definitely an amazing experience. Working with Tom was so much fun and of course, also productive. Not only is he an amazing writer and knows how to tailor essays to perfection for law school, but he is also great at brainstorming ideas with you. Tom was of great support throughout the entire process from the application stages all the way to calming my nerves as I waited for decisions to start coming out. I could go on and on about how great my experience with him has been. But one thing is for sure, working with Tom gave me the opportunity to create a top notch law school application and to meet and get to know an amazing person!

From the beginning of my law school application process, I knew that getting accepted into the T-14 would be an uphill battle. My GPA was below the 25th percentile at every school I applied to. My undergraduate application essays were mediocre at best - I had only gotten into one school. I had gotten a great LSAT score, but I needed to show law schools that I wasn't just good at taking tests. Like many super-splitters, I needed to provide substance to my application without coming off as a braggadocious automaton.

When I reached out to Spivey Consulting, they connected me with Nick Everdell. Nick has experience at the highest echelon of law school admissions - Columbia & Yale. This experience is evident in both his advice and his work ethic. Just an example: Nick and I worked on my personal statement for two months straight until we got it right - lots of other admissions companies would try to cycle you through as fast as possible. Nick understood that quality, authentic, and enjoyable essays are oftentimes the difference between acceptance and rejection.

My results for the historically difficult 2024-2025 law school admissions cycle are as follows:
• Four T-14 law school acceptances;
• Received over $1.1 million in total merit scholarships;
• And enrolled with a significant scholarship at the #1 ranked public law school in the country (UVA).

I equate Spivey Consulting to hiring a lawyer during a trial. Of course, you could always represent yourself in front of the judge (or admissions committee), but if you can swing good counsel, you should do it. If you have a weak point in your application - terrible transcript, C&F, shoddy work experience - put yourself at ease and call Spivey!

I had a wonderful experience from beginning to end with my consultant, Hannah Song. Hannah was instrumental in helping to develop a cohesive story while always ensuring the essays produced maintained my personal voice and style. As an older applicant, I was apprehensive and unsure how to navigate the application process. Hannah's expertise and deadlines greatly reduced my stress and made the mountain of work manageable and exciting. Throughout the process she was a tremendous sounding board and went out of her way to accommodate my schedule whenever needed. Without Hannah and Spivey, I am assured I would not have gotten into the amazing schools I was admitted to. It was overall a phenomenal experience and I could not recommend enough Spivey, and specifically Hannah Song, to any law school applicants.

I'm very happy with my experience, I worked with Danielle and she did a great job at helping me streamline my approach and organize my thoughts. I would recommend Spivey to anyone who feels they could benefit from very structured help. Even if it might feel a bit unnatural at times to work with a consultant, especially if you're not used to something like this, remember that they're bringing the insights and perspective of an admissions officer and can help you avoid the pitfalls that you might fall into from not being sufficiently able to put yourself in the shoes of an admissions officer. If you're a more intuitive person, it might really serve you well to avail yourself of Spivey's data-driven approach as a supplement to ensure the best outcome.

As a first-generation college student and now, first-generation law student this process was incredibly intimidating. There were so many moments where I truly didn’t know where to begin, but engaging Spivey made all the difference. I cannot say enough good things about my consultant, Tom Robinson. Tom is the kind of person who makes you feel like you’re not just another applicant, you're a story worth telling. From day one, he was thoughtful, patient, honest, and deeply empathetic - all the qualities I was hoping to find in a consultant. He took the time to understand who I am, and he helped me bring my voice to the forefront in a way that felt true and powerful.

There were many moments where I really struggled with telling my story, and Tom was always the person who encouraged me to stay authentic and true to myself. He never rushed me, never gave cookie-cutter advice; instead, he asked the right questions, pushed me when I needed it, and took the time to listen to my story. I truly believe I had the successful cycle I did, in part, because of Tom. He helped me tell the story I wasn't sure I was capable of telling.

I highly recommend using Spivey; absolutely worthwhile investment.

Spivey, and in particular Peter Cramer, provided me with fantastic support with my LL.M. application. With his impressive expertise and experience, Peter paved the way for my academic and legal future and got me into my dream university! He was my go-to person for every question, improved my documents down to the last detail and provided an absolutely impeccable service throughout the months. I can wholeheartedly recommend Spivey and Peter!

My consultant had a great calming presence about him that eased me through the anxiety of the process, every time I had a worry I knew I could count on him to provide facts that deterred any spiral I might have been heading down. This was a hard cycle, it was amazing to feel like there was someone in my corner.

After I got my LSAT score back last June, I wanted to start working on my law school applications but had no idea where to start. I looked into Spivey and had an initial consultation meeting with Hannah Song, where she explained the application process and how she could help me. Spivey was worth the cost and time put into meeting with Hannah. I'm not sure I would have been able to complete and submit my applications as efficiently and confidently as I had without her help. She was reassuring, quick to respond, and a great person to have throughout the process. I was thrilled with my cycle results after one of the "most competitive cycles," and I am excited to be attending a T-14 school this fall! In summary, Spivey helped me achieve my goals, made the application process less stressful for me, and aided in making my dream of going to law school a reality.

I was genuinely impressed by Rodia’s extensive knowledge of the law school application process right from the start. She has a unique approach to organizing the application timeline to make sure that each component is not only completed to the highest standards but also in a way that highlights my personality. No wonder that our efforts turned into multiple offers from top law schools.
Beyond being an outstanding consultant, Rodia also protected my mental health throughout this stressful journey. Each time I felt stressed out, talking to her always relieved me from my stress and helped me regain confidence. I do not exaggerate when I say that my application outcome would not have been so ideal without her help. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone aspiring to attend a top law school to work with Rodia. She has been incredibly patient, helpful, and humorous every step of the way.
As for Spivey, I found the monthly news letter to be very thoughtful and useful. It kept me updated about the cycle as it developed and offered many resources for me to read, watch, and listen during my free time to learn more about the cycle and the law school life.
