Never wonder, “Could I have done more?”
Every year, Menlo Coaching helps a small group of students win admission to T14 law schools with applications that reflect the full strength of who they are.
Our approach is comprehensive and deeply personal: By capping our client list at 10–15 applicants per application cycle, we ensure you will get the time and attention needed to produce your best work through unlimited 1:1 coaching.
That means we don’t offer—or believe in—hourly essay editing or à la carte services. Our flat-rate, hands-on, all-in program means we will optimize everything about your candidacy to help you maximize your chances at the most selective programs.
If you’re applying to law school this year, you’re stepping into one of the most intense admissions cycles the field has ever seen.
That means it’s not enough to be a strong candidate: You need to be sure that every element of your application is fine-tuned, strategic, and dare we say, perfected.
Because if you’re going to take the time, effort, and money to apply to law school—something that could define your next 50 years—you owe it to yourself to do it right.
And yet, even the most capable applicants struggle to know where to begin … or what “doing it right” actually looks like:
I’m running out of time and don’t know where to start!
So … where do you go from here?
At Menlo Coaching, we help you achieve maximum impact with your JD application by excessively preparing you at every stage of the process.
This overpreparation comes in many forms. For example:
I didn’t realize how much I was overlooking until I started working with Menlo Coaching. At the start I really leaned into the coaching sessions to kind of reframe and rethink my entire approach. By the time we finalized the ‘Menlo version’ of my personal statement, I was blown away. Compared to what I wrote after talking to my coach, the first drafts I did solo were embarrassing. It’s really hard to do this by yourself, and having someone I could talk to as much as I needed made all the difference in the end.
Hourly rates or discrete packages simply don’t account for the nuanced, evolving nature of the law school application process, and they certainly don’t jibe with our all-in, do-everything-it-takes model.
We want to be fully present for you, adjusting our support to match your current needs in the moment, without being limited by a rigid framework.
As a result, we’ve simplified. Our package includes just one thing: everything.
When you work with us, you get unlimited coaching, unlimited questions, unlimited drafts, unlimited calls.
And the unlimited nature of the service isn’t selectively applied to the “crunch time” before deadlines. It starts on day one with profile building, continues into the essay writing stage, carries over to your recommenders, and follows you past deadlines into final school selection.

What do you need to get into law school? That is, what does a great application for a T14 or T20 law school look like? In the words of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart: “I know it when I see it.”
It seems like a lot to fit into two pages. And it is. That’s the difficulty: How do you tell a dense, passionate, authentic, and unique story that answers all these questions while also working strategically to maximize your chances?
Think of law school admissions like a marathon: The more time you give yourself ahead of the actual race day, the easier it will be to hit your target time.
How hard can it be, really? After all, a resume is just a list of your past experiences, right? Nothing could be farther from the truth. A chronological list of past activities is a basic resume, but a great resume is so much more.
Your coach is not working in place of you. You’re going to work and you’re going to work very hard and you’re going to write a lot. But with his guidance, it’s just a life changer. And now that I’ve graduated, the foundation we built in the application process has continued to guide me in my next steps as a professional. I use the understanding of how to write about myself, how to talk about myself, still today.
If you’re here today, you probably have a lot of questions about your upcoming law school applications.
You may be wondering, first and foremost: Is my profile good enough? Where should I apply? You might also want to know: Am I a good fit for Menlo Coaching?
We can help you answer all those questions and more. Use the button below to get started with a free consultation. We’ll ask you some questions and use your answers to guide us on the call.
“I hired Menlo Coaching because I felt like my application was really kind of my one shot, and I really just felt like I wanted to put my best foot forward and make one really good run at the application process and get a great outcome.”
“I think one of the most helpful processes from Menlo Coaching is the interview preparation. You go about mock interview from different angles, not just with your consultant, but with other people who might not know you as well, so there’s a fresh perspective.”
“Within the first few minutes of going through my profile, Yaron was able to be incredibly honest with me about where my weaknesses were and what my strengths were. And in that short call I learned more about the MBA application process than I had in the entire time researching it by myself.”
