Gradvocates Law School Personal Statement Editing

Saturday, August 7th, 2010

SimuGator is proud to announce the debut of its new admissions editing and counseling division: Gradvocates Law School Personal Statement Editing

For a borderline applicant, a well-written personal statement can tip the scales in favor of admission into law school. For stronger applicants, a perfect personal statement could result in a scholarship, saving thousands in tuition.

The Gradvocates editing process is unique because it involves a tiered reviewing system. The applicant is assigned a dedicated editor who will critique the applicant’s document by fixing errors and providing objective analysis on how to best improve the substance of the document. These edits and suggestions are then reviewed by two other senior editors who ensure that the document has reached its full potential.
