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 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 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.

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.
