Hello! I help students with law school applications, MBA applications, and college and other graduate programs. Over the years, professors and advisors have referred students to me for guidance specifically on law school admissions and MBA admissions, including student-athletes, nontraditional applicants, and those exploring career changes.

I am a first-generation college, law school, and business school graduate with a JD and MBA (concentration in Marketing). I earned my B.A. in International Relations with a minor in Public Relations before pursuing graduate studies.

I applied to several competitive top-100 law schools and received scholarships, giving me firsthand familiarity with the research, preparation, and strategy involved in the admissions process. I am also experienced with dual-degree pathways, having been admitted to a JD/MBA program before pursuing my MBA separately as a graduate research assistant, which fully covered my tuition.

I help students strengthen personal statements, diversity statements, addenda, letters of recommendation, and letters of continued interest. I also provide guidance on resumes, school selection and application lists, interview preparation, scholarships, waitlists, and LSAT/GMAT resources (though I do not provide direct tutoring for these exams). Beyond applications, I also support students with public speaking and professional presentation skills.

Whether you’re feeling uncertain or overwhelmed in the process, I can help! My aim is to help students feel confident sharing their experiences and presenting themselves clearly. I enjoy helping students think through their ideas, craft strong applications, and approach interviews with confidence because your story deserves to be told well.

Incredible Guidance Throughout the Law School and MBA Admissions Process

I’ve been working with Shanawar as I figure out whether to apply to law school, an MBA program, or another type of grad program. He’s been incredibly helpful in walking me through the options, thinking through strategy, and giving honest, thoughtful feedback on personal statements ideas that I had. He also helped me start building a school list and pointed me to useful LSAT books and resources. His advice has made the process feel much more manageable, especially since I’m still deciding on a direction. He really knows the law school and MBA admissions process and is great to talk things through with. Highly recommend.
