Rachel’s College Qualifications

Rachel has helped clients get into these schools:

I am a rising 3L at Stanford Law School. I love working with students to craft a cohesive, powerful narrative that reflects their accomplishments so they can gain admission to their dream law school or university. I take a holistic approach, taking time to understand my clients' background, personality, and goals. I do not let median GPAs or test scores or admission rates dictate my clients' application strategy or success. I can also guide students on how to discuss their race and ethnicity in our post-affirmative action reality. By closely studying the U.S. Supreme Court decisions Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) v UNC overturning affirmative action, I've been able to help my clients discuss their race and ethnicity in ways that college admissions offices can legally consider when reviewing their application. Throughout law school, I have completed 5 internships in the public, private, and non-profit sector including a Big Law internship, two state attorney general internships, a local government internship, and an internship at a leading international non-profit environmental advocacy organization. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Environmental Economics and Policy and a B.A. in Urban Studies. In undergrad, I worked as a research assistant and independent researcher while also serving as president of the Berkeley Urban Studies Student Association. I have coached undergrads through their law school application process and high school students through their college admissions process. I have helped undergrad and high school students get admitted to programs where they had well below-median GPAs and/or standardized test scores.

About Rachel

I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area in Marin County playing competitive soccer. I have a twin brother and an older brother. I love hiking on Mt. Tamalpais and going to Stinson Beach. I spend a lot of time in San Francisco going to museums, restaurants, and concerts. Since high school and throughout college and law school, I've tutored students in various subjects such as math, Spanish, history, and English in addition to helping high schoolers prepare for AP exams and standardized tests like the ACT and SAT.

Why do I coach?

I started coaching because the law school and college admissions process is opaque, stressful, and resource-intensive. After experiencing the highs and lows of college and law school admissions myself and guided clients through the process as well, my goal is to help my clients get into their dream schools even when they've been told they don't have the "right" GPA, scores, or experience.
