Law School Admissions

Our Approach

The mission of Galin Education’s graduate school admission counseling program is to help our clients reach their professional goals by assisting them with all the components of the application process. Our counselors have worked with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, undergraduate institutions, and helped them prepare applications to graduate programs across the country. Whether you have years of professional experience or are just starting your college education; whether you know exactly what you want to do or need help figuring it out, we can help! At the heart of our work with clients is the expertise of our counselors and the trusting relationships they build with you, to ensure you find a graduate program that will match your goals.

Galin Education helps with college admissions.

The Law School Admissions Process

Applying to law school is a competitive and complicated process. Unlike undergraduate admissions, there is no common application; each school has an individualized application and selection process. At Galin Education, we support applicants in developing an effective strategic approach to applying to law school. We believe in supporting anyone willing to work hard in reaching their goals on their path to law school regardless of their undergraduate GPA or LSAT score.

There are over 200 law schools in the United States accredited by the American Bar Association. Pursuing a career in law is a bigger question than “where can I get in?” and selecting the right law school is more complicated than looking at rankings. It is a complex assessment of one’s personal and professional goals. Where you go to law school matters. It is the first step in a professional arch that will carry you through your life, and we are excited to help you with your journey.

Our Services

Whether you are starting college or several years post-graduation, our law school advising services can help you reach your goals. Our experienced advisors can assist you with college course selection to essay topics and everything in between.
