Kevin is truly one of the most incredible people I've had the pleasure of working with. His imagination brought my ideas to life in ways I couldn't have done on my own, and his astuteness always identified exactly what my narrative was missing. What stands out even more, though, is his kindness and genuine care. He made our collaboration feel like a real partnership, and I always felt comfortable and supported working with him. Kevin’s unique combination of creativity and warmth makes him not just a great coach, but a great friend!

Rob is an amazing coach! I was feeling so lost in the MBA application process as an FGLI student without access to a lot of resources, and Rob swooped in and saved the day :) He assured me that I'm a viable candidate while offering tangible ways I can shape my story and build a stellar application. I highly recommend him, especially if you're interested in Stanford. Thanks, Rob!

Conor Ahern is an amazingly kind and careful editor!! Honestly, he’s just a great person. I had so many questions about… everything. And he addressed them all with very helpful comments. His suggestions were always clear, and I felt that he really cared about my results. He’s very professional and committed. Work with him, and you will also walk away thinking, “Wow, how can someone be this smart and nice?”

It is my honor to recommend my consultant Conor Ahern to everyone. He replied so quickly and even worked with me during holidays. I had so many questions and he answered all of them with patience and profession. Thanks to him, I received an offer from a T-10 Law School with a big scholarship in this unprecedentedly competitive cycle. Choose him and you will never regret!

Conor Ahern is the BEST!!! He helped me to brainstorm ideas and he provided truly insightful comments and thoughts. He addressed my concerns and questions in a concise and smart way. In addition, we had a tight timetable and he was always very responsive to my new drafts. We pulled out many versions in a very short time. I could tell that he is very experienced at doing his job. A REAL writer and thinker! I feel so thankful for his help throughout the process. The best editor you could ask for

I worked with Conor Ahern and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to say they did everything they could to submit their best possible law school application. I initially purchased an Edit Once for my Personal Statement because I sensed that the friends I first asked to read it were too concerned about my feelings to be completely honest about what needed to change. When I received thoughtful feedback from Conor about each sentence of my Personal Statement highlighting concerns that I never had after 120 days of writing it, I immediately knew I needed to upgrade to the Admissions Consulting package so that Conor could read everything I had written for my applications. Conor gave me precisely what I was looking for from an admissions consultant, and I can’t believe I found such a good fit for myself. Conor was always kind, thorough, and responsive to my many frivolous concerns. Still, I appreciated most that his kindness never prevented him from being unsparingly honest about things that needed to change. He wasn’t afraid to say what everyone else was thinking when they read my Personal Statement, but his insightfulness allowed him also to suggest edits that no one else could. In addition to several more rounds of back-and-forth Personal Statement edits, Conor and I worked on a diversity statement, a GPA addendum, a resume, ten supplemental essays, a character and fitness statement, and plenty of short answer questions all within a month. Many students write one template for their Why X Schools essays and then adapt it for a given school; I felt so grateful when Conor was supportive of my decision to write a unique statement for each of the ten applications we prepared. There were a couple of days where I’d send Conor 8 unique first drafts, and I’d receive his individualized feedback and edits of all of them before I could write another essay for him to review. I was reluctant to utilize an admissions consulting team because I wanted all of my application materials to have my personal voice instead of someone else’s, which is why I was always ecstatic when I’d receive an edit back from Conor and still be able to recognize my perspective and sensibilities as a writer. Instead of taking away my voice, Conor helped me articulate myself in a way that my writing style was preventing. Not only did working with Conor give me an application package I could be proud of, but I also gained a new sense of direction for my writing that I believe will be instrumental in law school and beyond. To anyone wondering if Admissions Consulting is worth the cost, I can assure you that you will not receive such rigorous and informed feedback from your school’s writing center.

Conor Ahern is the best ever. I purchased unlimited consulting and worked with him through more than 10 essays. Conor provides constructive and efficient feedback and is super helpful in explaining each prompt for me. I can’t imagine an application cycle without him. And all the advice and counsel is definitely a bonus for a non-native speaker like me.

I had the joy of working with Conor Ahern, who has genuinely been extraordinary throughout. With Conor’s help, I received several amazing offers across the T-14, including Harvard Law School, one of my dream schools coming into this process. While many are proficient editors in the sense of correcting tenses and rectifying grammar, Conor was able to enhance my writing across various schools and statements, all the while keeping (and sometimes even helping bring out) my voice. I started my time with Conor with a disjointed personal statement that lacked direction, with certain sentences that, in retrospect, did not make sense. With Conor’s help, I was able to develop a statement that, while remaining true to my voice, was multitudes above what I had started with. From teasing out ideas to streamlining passages, Conor was instrumental in helping me build a narrative and several statements that I have received compliments on from admissions officers. Beyond assisting with my writing statements, Conor also helped me flesh out my narrative. Conor was patient and thoughtful throughout as I bounced from idea to idea, and he always brought a valuable perspective on how a particular topic or idea would appear to the admissions committee. With his help, I was able to develop not only several pieces of writing that I am proud of but also a cohesive narrative that has greatly aided me throughout this process. Finally, I would be remiss not to mention Conor’s patience, thoughtfulness, and communication throughout this process. A large part of what he has been able to do for me, I believe, comes down to the fact that he genuinely cared and wanted to help me tell my story. I greatly valued his direct yet understanding advice and comments, all of which have left me with confidence and a clear understanding of what I needed to improve upon. In sum, I unreservedly recommend Conor Ahern's writing and consulting services, as he has been instrumental in helping me succeed throughout my law school application cycle.

I worked with Mr. Conor Ahern. He made great suggestions on how I could improve my essays. It was challenging to rewrite many of my writings; however, Mr. Ahern is a law school admission consultancy veteran. I listened to him, and his comments and edits made my essays squeaky clean. With his help, I am currently attending Columbia Law School. Above all, he is smart, humane, and inspiring. If I were to go through this process again, I would definitely ask for Mr. Conor Ahern. I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to increase their odds of getting into top law schools.
