ExceptionalGrad with exceptional people…

I had a really great experience with ExceptionalGrad overall, and I can confidently say the people behind the company truly care about their clients. My expert JD admissions advisor, Alex, was absolutely amazing, patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to helping me through every step of the process. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt supported and confident in my law school applications. If this review were based solely on her, it’d be an easy five stars.That said, I did find a few parts of the company’s process a bit unclear. When I first signed up, some of the language around their packages felt a little vague, and it wasn’t immediately obvious what specific services or limits came with each one. Toward the end of my consulting journey, I actually reached out to ask what else my advisor could assist with, just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. It wasn’t a major issue, everything worked out fine, but clearer upfront communication would have made the whole experience smoother and more transparent.Still, I think Exceptional Grad lives up to its name in terms of the quality of its team and their dedication to clients. Everyone I interacted with was kind, professional, and clearly invested in seeing students succeed. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone looking for guidance with grad or law school applications, just make sure to ask detailed questions about what’s included in your package from the start.All in all, a very positive experience. Exceptional Grad does great work, and I’m grateful to Alex and the rest of the team for helping me through such an important part of my journey.

Work with Alexandra Goodman

I was paired with Alexandra Goodman for my JD application process because of my interest in public service. Alexandra is highly knowledgeable, provides thoughtful edits and suggestions, and is a pleasure to work with. Alexandra has provided me feedback that has strengthened my essays and helped me better represent myself. I have felt supported every step of the way while preparing my ED application, and I know that I am putting my best foot forward with Alexandra's guidance. I would highly recommend working with Alexandra Goodman if you are interested in working with Exceptional Grad.

I am writing this review for Alexandra…

I am writing this review for Alexandra Goodman. I was paired with her after specifying that I’d need someone who was honest and understands the law school application process for a splitter. Alexandra has been extremely helpful and insightful in her feedback, pushing me on my PS essay and providing helpful feedback in my resume. I really love her approach to creating themes that communicate across my PS and resume. She is also incredibly responsive on email and communicative with expectations which I appreciate as someone who needs a bit of structure. I look forward to completing my application cycle with her assistance and would recommend her to anyone who is a non-traditional applicant (splitter, multi test taker, etc).

My advisor Alexandra

My advisor, Alexandra, is an invaluable resource in my law school application journey. Her willingness to listen, emphatically engage with my personal statements, and offer constructive feedback has single-handedly changed my perspective on applications. From our first consultation session, to version 4000 of my personal statement, Alexandra has been proactive, engaged, and an endless wealth of information. I highly highly highly recommend her to anyone applying to law school that needs a hand through the ever-mysterious and famously gate-kept law school admissions process.

Exceptionally detailed and compassionate counselor

We had the pleasure of working with Mahesh for our daughter's applications. Mahesh went above and beyond, engaging with parents and the child almost every other day till we all got hooked and aligned and the outcomes were stellar. He managed to factor in our unique circumstances and helped navigate the college lists with those in mind.

Law School Interview Applicant

I worked with Alexander from Exceptional Grad and he was so helpful! He gave me practical tips on interviewing and helped me become more confident when it came to being prepared with relevant topics without necessarily knowing every question the interviewer would ask. Alexander was so kind and encouraging, and he always shared in an enthusiastic way how I could improve. He even helped me come up with a couple of stellar questions to ask the admissions team for the specific law school I interviewed for. Overall, Alexander was so helpful and I highly recommend him and the team with Exceptional Grad for law school prep / law school interview prep. Thanks to Alexander and Exceptional Grad, I’ll hear back from my dream law school this month on my status!
