"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."

"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."

Associate at Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP

"When I decided to apply to law school, I was appalled by the lack of information on how to properly prepare a winning application packet. Commercial guides claiming to provide information on the application process and crammed full of “sample essays” proved useless as they are tailored toward an audience with a very different perspective than mine (a first generation immigrant and first in my family to go to graduate school), and did not provide any information not available on the LSAC website. After several weeks of research, I felt extremely discouraged by the lack of materials tailored toward people of color and individuals who had overcome adversity. All that changed when I found Anthony’s guide. Anthony’s guide provided me with detailed instructions on the application process, pit falls to avoid and, most importantly, sample personal statements from current law students who had overcome adversity. This guide not only helped me understand the process, but the real-life, heartwarming stories contained in the sample personal statements provided the type of encouragement no commercial outline could ever provide. I am forever in debt to Anthony for his wonderful guide. I can honestly say that I would not have been as successful on my application process without it."

"Anthony's manual was by far the most helpful and insightful reading material I encountered during my law school application process or since. I read and reread pages of it at a time. I used it as the basis for my own application strategy. I definitely don't think I would have gotten the positive responses from law schools that I got without using the tips from this manual. I refer other applicants to it all the time and advise them to read it cover to cover before they start the process"

"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."
Cassandra Lopez, Esq.;  graduate of King Hall (UC Davis) School of Law; Immigration Attorney - Equal Justice Works Fellow, Centro Legal de La Raza
