About me
Hello! I bring over ten years of experience in admissions to world-renowned universities in the US and UK. My specialties are top-ranked colleges and elite graduate programs in law, business, public policy, finance, and economics. I’ve guided clients into schools like Harvard University, Stanford University, University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Yale University, London School of Economics and Political Science, King's College London, Duke University, Cornell University, Georgetown University, University of Southern California, and Johns Hopkins University. I was personally admitted to multiple Ivy League law schools before choosing to pursue a JD at UC Berkeley School of Law. I also hold a B.A. in Sociology from Columbia University. My research interests include Bitcoin, green finance, and civil liberties.

James is incredibly knowledgeable about the law school admissions process and understands what qualities top schools are looking for in an applicant. They gave me great advice on creating my list of schools to apply to and how to leverage my strengths in my essays. I credit James with all my admissions success, and would recommend working with them 100%!
