"For those whose life experiences distinguish them from the vast majority of law students, Anthony's guide shows you how to construct an application that reflects who you are, the adversity you have overcome, and the distinctive contribution you will make in law school and to the world. Rather than promoting gimmicks, Anthony's guide illustrates how to present your triumphs and how to use substantiating evidence to build upon and contextualize your grades and LSAT scores to make a compelling case for why you merit admission."

Michaele N. Turnage Young, Esq. graduate of Harvard Law School

"Anthony Solana's guide to law school gave me the confidence I was lacking when applying to law schools."
— Ivone Falk, UC-San Diego student, law school applicant.

"Thanks to Anthony's guide, I was able to look at the application components of other applicants of color, get an idea of how to tailor my own application and maximize my chances at the top law schools in the country. This fall I will be attending Stanford Law School."

"This guide was key in my quest for admission to law school. It does a great deal for evening the playing field for the historically disadvantaged in their quest for a law education. If you want to get into law school, download the guide, and then do everything in it."

Stephen Abreu, Esq.
graduate of King Hall (UC Davis) School of Law

"Your website made me realize how much work just applying to law school is. I felt like I began the process without much direction and your guide helped me get organized. I wish I had found it a year earlier! Also having you personally look at my personal statement was a big help. You cleared up some doubts and made me rethink the focus of my statement. It felt like I had an older brother on my team."
