RESUME & COVER LETTER REVISIONS
“I can’t understate how much of a tremendous help Ashley was for my 1L year. With her guidance, I was able to curate a coherent theme throughout my resume and cover letter. She was also always available to provide meaningful advice and academic resources. Because of Ashley, I now have the fundamental skills needed to succeed professionally, and academically throughout the rest of law school.”
Abdulai Turay, Fordham University School of Law, Class of 2022
“Ashley was such a help to me in my first year of law school. It felt like I had a secret weapon in my arsenal as she coached me through cover letter writing, resume creation, and creating study plans.”
Oyere Etta, Columbia Law School, Class of 2018
”After two years at Berkeley Law, I can definitely say that Ivy Grad Services was the best thing to happen to my legal career. Ashley broke down every single step of the application process -- from Resume to Cover Letter -- while simultaneously helping me develop a list of potential career options and contacts for me to reach out to during my job search. Outside of the previously mentioned 'application materials', Ashley's biggest impact was on my confidence. Receiving guidance from someone who genuinely cares about my success and future endeavors really made a difference for me in my job search. Her desire to see me reach my goals was palpable. I honestly cannot even imagine where I would be without Ashley and I would recommend that anyone looking for success both before, during, and after law school, work with Ashley & Ivy Grad Services."
Lindsey Ferguson, Berkeley School of Law, Class of 2019
“Ashley brings a fresh perspective to an old industry. I worked with Ashley on my resume and her input was invaluable. Not only is she detail-oriented, but she forces you to create a cohesive resume that showcases your talents. She helped me come up with a theme for my resume that would highlight my strengths. She also taught me how to review my resume from the employer’s point of view—a skill she learned from hiring incoming law clerks during her clerkship. Her method is bulletproof. I still get comments about how wonderful my resume is and how it set me apart from other candidates.”
Josephine Amin, Loyola Law School, Class of 2017
"I met Ashley during the 2018 National Black Law Student Association's (NBLSA) conference. After receiving information about Ivy Grad Services and hearing more about her career path, I was more than convinced to choose Ivy Grad Services as a career counseling investment. Not only did Ashley revamp my resume and cover letter, she also conducted several mock interviews, which helped me verbalize my strengths, skills and accomplishments. Because of Ivy Grad Services I can confidently say that I have improved my stock in the job market and have a clearer view of obtaining a career of interest. More importantly, because of Ashley's encouragement and positivity the services bring out the best of people, which goes way beyond any job measures.”
Joshua Gonzalez, Georgetown University Law Center, Class of 2020
"Ashley has assisted me through every step of my law school career. I have continuously looked to Ashley for advice not only because she has been successful in her own endeavors, but she is extremely methodical and understands that the same path does not work for every person. Nonetheless, her advice continues to yield success for her clients. During my job search for 1L placement, Ashley was instrumental in making sure that my resume stood out and concisely articulated my strengths and relevant work experience. I used the same resume format during my 2L job search and ultimately received various job offers. Thanks to Ashley’s assistance, I am confident that I will be as successful on the Bar exam as I have been throughout my law school career.”
Melody Godbolt, Howard University School of Law, Class of 2018
“Ashley was a phenomenal resource to have in preparation for my OCI interviews. She tailored my resume and cover letter to highlight my strengths and she helped me create an excellent elevator pitch that set me apart from other candidates. Because of Ashley and Ivy Grad Services, I am confident that I will effectively communicate to employers the unique skills I bring to their law firm.”
Jermel Singleton, Fordham University School of Law, Class of 2022
"Ivy Grad Services was one of my best investments during my scholarship application process. I was presented with top tier opportunities and programs. If there is any advice I could give to incoming 1Ls or upper-level law students, it would be to make use of Ivy Grad Services resume editing! It really provided me with an advantage on my applications. Thanks to Ivy Grad Services, I was able to reach my scholarship goals in preparation for my 1L year!”
Michée Jacobs, Howard University School of Law, Class of 2023
JUDICIAL CLERKSHIP GUIDANCE
"Ashley has been an incredible resource when planning out my career path. As a teacher wanting to make a career change, Ashley helped me to think deeply about what I wanted to do and how to get there. Showing me the Ivy Grad Services timetable for the clerkship application process was invaluable. Using her own personal experience as a clerk, Ashley helped me to understand the functions of the office and guided me through the process of becoming an excellent law clerk candidate. She did not hesitate to reach out to people she knew in the field and connect me to them, and her network is very widespread. Federal clerkship applications can be daunting and overwhelming, but Ashley takes the time to let you know it is manageable and guides you to the best place you can be.”
Samantha Sigelakis-Minski, Brooklyn Law School, Class of 2019
RECOMMENDATION LETTER ASSISTANCE
"As a first-generation professional student, I was extremely nervous about navigating the law school application process and unsure of how to prepare a strong application that would allow me to secure multiple acceptances. Ashley provided me with crucial information regarding all the steps of the process, such as creating an LSAT study schedule, securing great recommendations, and reflecting on my life and experiences to write an amazing personal statement. The most helpful aspect of our work was the insightful and timely feedback that Ashley provided me with weekly. She was organized, set deadlines for my application process, and held me accountable in my journey. I am so grateful to have met Ashley and utilized Ivy Grad Services. If you are looking for a kind, thoughtful, supportive, and results-oriented consultant, you are in the right place! With Ashley's help and guidance, I will be heading to law school on a full scholarship and following in her footsteps as an SEO Law Fellow. Thank you so much, Ashley!”
Talia Scott, NYU School of Law, Class of 2024
“Ashley was the first person I asked to help me pick a reputable LSAT prep company and she advised me on best practices for letters of recommendation, law school info sessions, and outside scholarships. Ashley also introduced me to a network of people within the legal field which helped me to solidify my decision to apply to law school. I would recommend her, she is successful and does a great and detailed job with the advice she gives."
Marvellous Iheukwumere, Harvard Law School, Class of 2021
“As a nontraditional, first-generation prospective law student, the process of reaching out to professors several years after graduation can be intimidating. With Ashley’s assistance, implementing a letter of recommendation strategy to keep me organized, the process was less intimidating."
Crystal N., University of Texas, Class of 2006
LAW SCHOOL ADMISSIONS
"Ashley offers the comfort of working with a professional, which lessens the stress of the process. ROI is there. Aim high; she'll help you get there.”
Leon Harmon, Cornell Law School, Class of 2027
"Working with Ashley, I felt confident and prepared when building my law school application. Her invaluable feedback on my personal statement, diversity statement and resume pushed me to make my narratives the best they could be while always maintaining my own voice and unique perspective. I am grateful for her insights and guidance that helped me unify my different experiences into a cohesive story explaining why law school was the appropriate next step for me.

Lauren Owens, Yale Law School, Class of 2026
"Ashley helped me take my Personal Statement and Diversity Statement to the next level. Although I brought many ideas to the table, Ashley helped me consolidate these thoughts into a more cohesive and persuasive story. She is very responsive, flexible, and has a genuine interest in helping her clients. Ashley broke the process down into several small steps that I was able to complete even during a busy week of work. I recommend her services to all of my friends!”
Scott Jones, Yale Law School, Class of 2025
“Working with Ashley was one of the best decisions I made during my admissions cycle! Her detailed and VERY honest feedback on my personal statement and diversity statement helped me tell my story in a way that was both compelling and effective. As a person who tends to be a wordy writer, her edits allowed me to condense certain parts, and she gave great recommendations on what could be cut out. Ashley also helped me format my resume, which I didn't know needed to be revamped until I worked with her. More than anything, Ashley's customer service exceeded all of my expectations. She is incredibly responsive and has gone out of her way to help prepare me for interviews. As a self-identified "splitter candidate," I believe Ashley's edits helped take my application over the edge and are at least part of why I was accepted into Yale Law School. I have recommended Ashley to all my Pre-Law friends and would recommend her to anyone else!”
Hadiyah Cummings, Yale Law School, Class of 2024
“Ashley Lhérisson was extremely helpful, but what I enjoyed the most about my experience was Ashley's thoughtful feedback. She was always available to answer my questions. Ashley's feedback has transformed my Personal and Diversity Statements and has helped me share my story and accomplishments in the best possible light.”
Amanda Gomez Feliz, Yale Law School, Class of 2024
"I have enjoyed working with Ashley so far! I really appreciate the personalized feedback I have gotten and applied. Understanding that all of the coaches participate outside of their regular jobs, it means a lot that I have received actual, in-depth feedback rather than just grammatical corrections or minor changes. I think the structure of the assignments makes sense it and it helps lead up to a coherent first draft. Thank you for all the help thus far!"
Catherine Crevecoeur, Harvard Law School, Class of 2024
“As I began working on my Personal Statement, I realized I needed assistance with turning the various ideas I had into a cohesive narrative. Ashley's guidance, edits, and feedback on my Personal and Diversity Statements helped me effectively communicate my story and reasons for applying to law school. I found Ashley's guidance to be invaluable, especially as a first-generation college graduate navigating this process. Overall, I enjoyed working with Ashley and Ivy Grad Services; I would definitely recommend her services to other applicants!”
Julia Lighten, University of Chicago Law School, Class of 2026
“Ashley's guidance has been helpful in crafting my narrative and overall application. She is always quick to respond and cordial in her returns. Her unique insight and feedback has allowed me to think about my writings in an honest way and develop my unique application. I have found her help invaluable.”
Onuoha Odim, Columbia Law School, Class of 2024
“Working with Ashley on your graduate school application will not only give you the guidance and necessary tools to have a successful application, but also the confidence when you press submit! I felt confident applying solely to my top choice graduate program as a concurrent degree student because of Ashley. Her feedback was both detailed and insightful— putting me on track to convey the true strengths of my story. For this, I am so grateful for Ashley’s guidance through Ivy Grad Services!"
Alexis Allen, Columbia Law School, Class of 2024
“As a first generation applicant who felt lost in the beginning stages of my application, Ivy Grad Services has been one of my greatest investments last application cycle. Ashley has been my point of contact since reaching out for assistance and has been nothing short of a phenomenal resource to have during my journey. Because of Ashley and Ivy Grad Services, I can feel confident in my application materials and beyond. Thank you Ashley!”
Madeline Perard, Georgetown University Law Center, Class of 2026
“Thank you for your services and advice. I truly believe it made a difference in my admissions cycle. I accepted admission into my #1 choice UVA and I will be attending there in the fall. Again thank you so much.”
Daniel Dunn, University of Virginia School of Law, Class of 2026
"I truly struggled with my Personal Statement and searched for someone to provide me with quality feedback and Ivy Grad Services was that and more. Ashley provided outstanding revisions to my personal statement by making it more cohesive and truly taking it to another level. She also had a quick turnaround period which helped me get my applications in within my desired time frame. I honestly do not believe that I could have been accepted to 7 law schools without the help of Ivy Grad Services, and wish I came to Ashley sooner. I would highly recommend that every Pre Law student use Ivy Grad Services throughout their process.”
Christine Acquah, George Washington University Law School, Class of 2026
"During our first meeting, I shared with Ashley my goals and that my ideal outcome will be to get into one of the top law schools with a scholarship. Interestingly, that’s exactly what happened. I will be attending Northwestern Pritzker School of Law on a generous scholarship. Ashley helped revise my personal and diversity statements, resume, and addendum. With her help, I could share my story, experiences, and aspirations well with the admission committees. Ashley responded quickly to my emails, provided constructive feedback, and encouraged me to remain positive with her kind words.
Ashley also helped me with preparing for the SEO Law Fellowship. I am so happy I have the opportunity to work at a top law firm even before law school. I am grateful to Ashley for her help and recommend her to anyone needing assistance with the law school admissions process.”
Gideon Tuffour Amponsah, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Class of 2026
“Working with Ivy Grad Services changed my entire outlook on law school. I began the law school journey uncertain of my chances - unsure even of my decision to apply. My major worries were not knowing what content I would include in my application, and which order I would complete the various components in.
Ivy Grad addressed both of these worries. With their smooth, formulaic, and holistic approach to the application process, I slowly built up to what content I would include in my essays and who I would ask for recommendations. Breaking these components into steps eased the process for me, as it allowed me to tackle the different components one at a time. Further, from the very onset, I could see that my coach genuinely wanted to see me succeed. This encouraged me to submit only my best work for each component, as I had someone rooting for me that I did not want to let down. Additionally, all of the feedback I received on each assignment was a combination of my strengths on that assignment and comments on areas of improvement. I felt hopeful at each stage because I knew there were things I had done correctly and knew exactly were to focus my energy for improvement. All things considered, I now have much confidence in my prospects and abilities for law school. Ivy Grad instilled that confidence in me, and I can confidently say I submitted the best law school application I could have.”
Jose Martinez, The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, Class of 2026
“Ashley and Ivy Grad Services have provided me with invaluable resources as I pursue law school. These resources have allowed me to strategize and stay organized in my journey. Particularly, the essay editing assistance has helped me craft a narrative that effectively conveys my history, passions, and accomplishments in a coherent and compelling way. One of the many things I appreciate about Ashley is how responsive she is. She is always available when I reach out, responds to emails very promptly, and makes sure to address all my concerns. I am confident that with her help, I will be successful in my law school journey."
Baaba Abaka-Yankson, NYU School of Law, Class of 2025
"Ashley Lhérisson is not a want - she is an absolute necessity! I’d been working on my law school applications about nine months prior to working with Ashley. However, I got more stuff done in the 3-4 weeks with Ashley than I had in that entire nine-month span. If you’re looking for a flawless personal statement, crisp resume, stellar supplementary essays, and a bit of peace of mind in this stressful process - Ashley is exactly who you need. She's an absolute rockstar - anyone in search of admission to law school would do their application a disservice by not signing her on to their team.”
Gabryelle Matz-Carter, George Washington University Law School, Class of 2024
“I cannot express enough how thankful I am to have had Ashley's advice and input on my application materials. She made me feel so much more confident in my materials because her review helped focus my essay and highlight my strengths. Her ability to review, make comments, and respond to questions quickly makes her a valuable asset to the process, and her strong knowledge of the law school admissions process is clear. I was admitted to my top choice for law school after a particularly grueling admissions cycle, and I know that this began with the strong foundation Ashley helped me establish in my personal statement. I look forward to working with the Ivy Grad Services team again in the near future!!"
Jacqueline Diggs, University of Michigan Law School, Class of 2024
“From identifying an admissions strategy, to understanding certain nuances about the process, to actually drafting my application materials, I really appreciated Ashley’s honest and personalized feedback. Moreover, Ashley helped me feel confident entering the process! She pushed me to highlight unique aspects of my candidacy, including information that I hadn’t considered as especially distinctive or compelling. In a very competitive admissions cycle, I felt like Ashley helped me put forth my best effort in my application materials which paid off in scholarship dollars and admission to programs like SEO.”
Analese Bridges, Duke University School of Law, Class of 2024
“Ashley was and continues to remain a significant and essential part of my application cycle. She was phenomenal in demystifying the challenging process. At the start of the process, Ashley asked pertinent questions that guided me towards perfecting a personal statement and diversity statements. Ashley is impressively meticulous and pays close attention to details. Ashley’s help during the process allowed me to channel my focus on studying for my LSAT. Ashley ensured that she tailor-made her support to fit my specific needs. One of my favorite parts of Ashley’s service is her promptness in turning around materials and the patience to review numerous drafts till the materials are ready and presentable. I consider Ashley an indispensable resource who has been pivotal for me to put together a strong application and will strongly recommend her to anyone.”
Kalu U. Udensi, Washington University School of Law, Class of 2024
”As a prospective law school applicant, the process of applying to law school can feel intimidating. Thanks to Ashley however, I received first-hand advice from somebody who was not only accepted to several top law schools, but who has become incredibly successful in her legal career. Ashley provided me tailored advice on the best courses to take, the timeline she followed, and strategies on how to compile the strongest application. Further, she took the time to connect me with colleagues of hers with similar professional backgrounds to mine who have successfully transferred their talents to the legal field. Not only is Ashley incredibly approachable, but well-connected and knowledgeable. Reaching out to her was a great decision and has created a strong foundation for me to start from as I embark on the law school application process.”
Kayla Hug, NYU School of Law, Class of 2023
“I first met Ashley a few months before attending Columbia Law School. We started chatting at an admitted students event and without asking, she made me aware of a competitive scholarship opportunity offered only to students who graduated from our same college. Although my application would have lowered her chances of receiving the scholarship she told me to apply anyway - that is just the kind of person she is. Her apparent willingness and desire to help students succeed both during and after law school, is what compelled me to seek her advice about law school exam preparation and summer job applications. Ashley is one of the few people who takes the time to be thorough and thoughtful in giving advice. Simple questions about how to outline in preparation for exams or how to ask professors to become recommenders, prompted from her a detailed several paragraph response, laying out step-by-step techniques, tips, and strategies. During my first year of law school, if any of my peers had questions about the job application process, I quickly referred them to Ashley. Her natural inclination to be as helpful as she can be to someone seeking her advice, and her high achieving track record make her an excellent consultant."
Anu Akinbamidele, Columbia Law School, Class of 2018
"As a first generation law school applicant, I was lost navigating through the application and what I needed to do. Another aspiring law student recommended Ashley, and I can honestly say that was the best decision I made for myself throughout the process. Any questions I had she answered and helped put me at ease when my anxiety took over. This admission cycle was brutal and I was accepted into one of my top choices. I truly am grateful for Ashley and will continue recommending her to aspiring law students.”
Ashley Reid, American University Washington College of Law, Class of 2024
"I have truly enjoyed working with Ivy Grad Services! Ashley greatly assisted me as I worked to turn my thoughts into cohesive statements and essays. I am leaving this partnership confident that I will have a strong application that will enable me to get into the law school of my dreams!”
Tia Patrick, Columbia University School of Professional Studies, Class of 2022
”Initially I was disappointed to take a gap year but I learned that sometimes things work out the way you need rather than what you want. In that gap year I was lucky enough to be recommended Ivy Grad Services . They helped guide me through the ins and outs of the Law School application process. Ashley took the time to go over the details of my application materials and gave me critical advice on how to tailor my application to each school I applied. As a first generation law student the application process can be intimidating but with the help of Ashley I was able to conquer my doubts and put together a stellar application. I’d recommend their service to anyone interested in going to Grad school!”
Jasmine Nwokedi, Southern University Law Center, Class of 2024

“Words cannot express how grateful I am for being able to work with Ivy Grad Services. Ashley provided critical feedback in my application materials. With Ashley's help, I was able to express myself without oversharing, but giving a well concise story of my life. I was accepted to my top choice for law school, and I know Ashley's help with my admission essays played a big role in it. I have since recommended Ivy Grad Services to other young women. I look forward to working with Ashley in the future.”
Daven Barnett, Brooklyn Law School, Class of 2024
“I enjoyed working with Ashley! She challenged me by making me think more critically about the reason why I wanted to go to law school. Prior to being helped by Ashley, I went through countless drafts of my personal statement, and still felt lost and unsatisfied with my work product. Her feedback has really helped me and I feel like my personal statement accurately reflects my story now.”
Nitzana Alzalde, University of California San Diego, Class of 2018
“It was a dream to have the opportunity to work with Ashley. I was so grateful to be able to receive advice and direction from someone in a dream career path of mine, and so I took every word of hers into consideration. Ashley has helped me put together a beautiful professional resume I can now use for various opportunities and has given me advice on my personal and diversity statement I never would have thought of. Ashley has also made me feel very comfortable with allowing her to read my Personal and diversity statements which I am very grateful for.”
Uche, Columbia Law School, Class of 2024
“Working with Ashley has been incredibly helpful as she gave honest and constructive feedback on how to improve my story while remaining true to myself. I started the writing process with an idea of how I wanted to convey my narrative, but Ashley’s feedback along the way provided the clear structure I was looking for. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to work with Ashley and am excited to see how everything works out.”
Shekinah Hall, Georgia Institute of Technology, Class of 2019
“Although I had done research on preparing for the LSAT and the law school admissions process throughout college, Ashley's first-hand advice and guidance was profoundly instrumental to my decision making process. Whether she was discussing the study structures that helped her prepare for the LSAT, application tips for securing letters of recommendation early, or just seeing how she has developed her career post-law school, Ashley's commitment to helping those coming after her is remarkable."
Makeda Yohannes, Columbia University, Class of 2017
"I sincerely thank Ashley for all of her assistance through the law school application process. By selecting the full-service package, I was able to work with Ashley to draft an impressive personal statement, enhance my resume, and truly understand what it takes to get into law school. Ashley was always so patient and understanding during the entire process. I can't thank her enough."
Alexandria Taylor, University of Houston, Class of 2017
"Ashley's help in guiding me on the right path to law school can in no way be hyperbolized. Hailing from a family of no legal background whatsoever, I was desperate for the right guidance to the path of law school. When I reached out to Ashley she found the time to answer all of my questions and even create a packet which provided additional points of contact. Ashley is wonderful, extremely knowledgeable in the matter of legal studies, and a great resource for anyone interested in law. I thank her for her unyielding effort in assisting me in my preparation for law school."
Khari Climes, NYU School of Professional Studies, Class of 2020
"Ashley is amazing! About a week before my scheduled visit to Columbia, I emailed Ashley to see if she would be able to give me a tour of the campus and speak with me about her experience as a black female law student at Columbia; we took off from there! Since that email, Ashley has been such a great help to me! She was so encouraging and helpful throughout my law school application process. She even continued to check in and give me advice on programs I should apply to, while offering advice on things I should do to make the best law school decision. Thanks for all of your help and encouragement, Ashley!”
Courtney L. Howard, Cumberland School of Law, Class of 2021
"Working with Ashley throughout my entire law school application process has been absolutely outstanding. Ashley was able to help me revise and perfect my resume, personal statement and diversity statement. Not only did Ashley guide me through every step of creating a solid and noteworthy application, but she also provided me with valuable insight into which law schools I should consider applying for. Because of her help, I have already been accepted to several top law schools. One of the reasons I felt comfortable working with Ashley throughout this process was because I knew that she had been through the process herself. She was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had and always provided me with honest responses. Even after I submitted my applications, I was still able to reach out to Ashley with any new questions I had. Ashley is a genuine and remarkable consultant to work with and there is no doubt in my mind that it is because of her guidance that I was able to create a memorable law school application."
Shabeena Sharak, Boston University School of Law, Class of 2022

Throughout the process, she answered every question— big or small. With Ashley’s help, I was able to craft an application that showcased my strengths and the unique qualities I would bring to my law school community. Additionally, Ashley even helped me get sponsored for a Law Preview course. If you are on the fence about seeking admission consulting, I highly recommend Ivy Grad Services; you will not regret your decision!
Christine Corvah, Howard University School of Law, Class of 2025
MBA & MA ADMISSIONS
"While I was going through the business school application process, Ashley put me in contact with and personally introduced me to students at top schools that I was applying to. Prior to visiting these schools, I was able to connect with these students and get inside information about the interview process and what it was like day-to-day in each program. From these connections I learned more about what to expect before my interviews. Ashley even assisted me with weighing my options after I was accepted to all five business schools I applied to.”
Tyler Simpson, Harvard Business School, Class of 2020
“Applying to Business School is an extremely tall task, and I would not have had my essays in tip-top shape if it weren't for the help of Ivy Grad Services. My consultant was thorough, responsive, and dedicated to me having the best essays possible. Having been through the MBA process, my consultant was able to provide a unique lens from the perspective of an admissions committee member, allowing me to convey my personal story in a way that directly translated into short and long term business impact. As a result, I got accepted to and am currently at one of my top choice schools. Thank you, Ivy Grad Services!"
Kenyatta Sacha Dunkin, The Wharton School, Class of 2022
“As a first-generation law student, my aspiration was to collaborate with a law school admissions consultancy that could comprehend and effectively represent my diverse background and multifaceted legal interests. After conducting extensive research, I encountered Ivy Grad Services, which I ultimately selected to assist me with my JD/MBA applications. I was exceedingly fortunate to have Ashley, the founder of Ivy Grad Services, as my guide. Ashley provided me with highly personalized strategic counsel for every facet of my JD/MBA admissions application. Over the course of several months, from March to October, Ashley remained steadfastly by my side throughout the application preparation process. Her meticulous examination of my application materials consistently yielded well-thought-out work, for which I am profoundly appreciative. I wholeheartedly endorse Ivy Grad Services to anyone in search of cost-effective, efficient, and compassionate graduate admissions consultancy services.”
Liza Dhameeth, University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, Class of 2026
“Ashley has been an incredible resource when planning out my career path. As a teacher wanting to make a career change, Ashley helped me to think deeply about what I wanted to do and how to get there. Showing me the timetable for business school applications and helping me create a GMAT study plan kept me focused and confident that I was following the right path to achieve my goals. The plan paid off when I received a scholarship to attend Boston University's school of management. I am now well positioned to achieve the goals that I have set. Her advice and motivation helped make that happen.”
Misha Kaufman, Boston University School of Management, Class of 2018
“Ashley's candor and judgment were so helpful when I felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to go next. I had complete faith in the process because I knew it was one she lived herself and was successful in fulfilling. Although my legal interests were different than her own, the guidance she gave me was instrumental because she was so well-versed and had an intimate knowledge of the paths to success. I knew I could count on Ashley for assistance with all my questions and decisions. She was there for me and was unbelievably relatable, making the work together natural and comfortable; exactly what I needed. I came into this process too afraid to move forward, but succeeded with Ashley's help.”
Alagra Bass, University of Maryland School of Social Work, Class of 2017
“Ashley helped me get into Georgetown, y'all! I was originally a bit apprehensive when a friend recommended Ivy Grad Services, but my deadline was quickly approaching and my statement of purpose was not done which was causing me stress/anxiety. I finally reached out to Ashley who gave me a super reasonable quote and turned my word vomit into a polished essay in two days – REMARKABLE. I circulated her version to a friend who worked in admissions and they reaffirmed that she did an excellent job. After a few more collaborative tweaks [which she performed with no problem] I submitted it. The peace of mind was worth every bit of the money, this is one of the better decisions I made during my grad admission process. HOYAS! Thanks Ashley.”
Sheerica Ware Wilkins, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, Class of 2024
“I could not have imagined a better experience applying to business school than with Ivy Grad Services. First, Ashley is extremely understanding and organized as she agreed to help me apply to 12 business schools within weeks. She made such a daunting task manageable through her organization skills and provided timelines to keep us both on track. She also made genuine efforts to get to know me over calls so that she could support my application in the best way possible. Her expertise in editing was paramount to submitting my essays with confidence. She's pleasant to work with, and extremely knowledgeable in the business and law school application process. As a result, she provided me with specialized advice/ information for my applications. She is also a keen dot connector and helped me organize my overall story and experiences in such a seamless way.
Working with Ivy Grad Services and specifically with Ashley is well worth the investment and I would welcome the opportunity to collaborate with her again. I was accepted to Georgetown - McDonough School of Business (Full Consortium Fellowship), Cornell - Johnson Graduate School of Management (full tuition Forte scholarship) and UC Berkeley - Haas School of Business. I was also accepted to UPenn’s Education Policy Master’s Program with a scholarship as well. I fully recommend her services to anyone applying for graduate school who wants to put their best foot forward in their application.”
Demi P., UPenn Graduate School of Education, Class of 2025
INTERVIEWING & JOB PLACEMENT

Ashley was such a kind and patient mentor. I will definitely recommend Ivy Grad Services to my classmates and peers, especially those in law school."
Blaine Elias, NYU School of Law, Class of 2023
“With the help of Ivy Grad Services, I received a first-year summer associate offer from four elite law firms. Before meeting Ashley, achieving such incredible success seemed nearly impossible, especially as a first-generation professional. However, Ashley worked with me early on to create and execute a plan of action tailored toward reaching my goal of beginning a career in BigLaw. She also offered me valuable guidance in a number of areas including exam preparation, securing a summer associate position, and handling callback interviews. If not for Ivy Grad Services, I might have been overwhelmed by law school. Instead, Ashley provided me with a comprehensive support system that allowed me to approach law school more thoughtfully, and confidently. If you’re seeking to make the most out of law school, I highly recommend reaching out to Ashley and Ivy Grad Services. For me, that decision made all the difference.”
Jeremiah Evans, NYU School of Law, Class of 2022
“Entering the corporate law field can be daunting. From the Vault rankings, firm receptions, and practitioners panels - you are hit with various sources of information to parse through on top of your 1L classes. However, because Ashley guided me through this process, I can honestly say that I never felt lost. She taught me the importance of networking and following up. She helped me map out my 1L firm applications (resulting in summer offers before I finished my first semester exams). She also spoke candidly about her firm and academic experiences, providing clearer insight than any blog or panel. Simply put, Ashley is a role model and she has a natural ability to mentor. In the spring, I will graduate with academic honors after spending a semester studying in Oxford's Masters in Law and Finance program and, in the fall, I will start my clerkship. Ashley has been the key ingredient to my law school success.”
Lilybelle Davis, Columbia Law School, Class of 2018
"Ashley was a terrific resource during my on-campus interview and callbacks process. Thanks to her very helpful advice, I was able to land interviews at several top law firms. I am pleased to say that I will be working at my first-choice firm.”
Laura K., NYU School of law, Class of 2019
"Ashley is nothing short of incredible- along with being an inspiring individual, she has never hesitated to respond to my requests for help/advice with information and support, all which has gone above and beyond what I hoped for or expected. When I was lost whilst searching for legal internships, Ashley took the time to detail all the different steps I should take for success, which ultimately landed me a legal internship with a domestic violence victims legal organization that summer. Ashley is an incredible mentor and anyone who gets to cross paths with her is undeniably lucky.”
Ciara Keane, Columbia University, Class of 2018
"I’m so grateful to have had Ashley to advise me every step of the way through my 1L year. Being the first in my family to enter this field, I often felt the pressure of being in unchartered territory. Ashley always made herself available and has been a great resource for navigating a lot of the nuisances that arise in law school and particularly in the big law market. Ashley was influential in helping me to decide where to work for my 1L summer, urging me to examine factors to concentrate on in considering where I would want to work. And still, given all that she does, she is never too busy to take the time to check in, follow up, and see how things are going. Ashley is completely dedicated to helping students navigate new academic and professional spaces they are in, and thanks to her I successfully finished my 1L year and started my summer at my top firm choice.”
N’dea Hallett, Columbia Law School, Class of 2020
“Let’s just say, writing has never been something that I was necessarily good at. I turned to Ashley when I was applying for a new position at my company because I knew she would not judge my resume or cover letter. I was in a time crunch to get my materials updated and submitted for the job I was applying for, so I reached out to Ashley and without any hesitation she offered her services. I sent her my documents and not only did she highlight key skills and experiences that would be impressive for my new role, she returned everything the same day. After having Ashley revise my resume and cover letter, I felt confident in my application and excited for the new opportunity. Ashley is a genius!”
Alexis Schecter, San Francisco State University, Class of 2018
“I met Ashley at the 2019 SEO Career Fair. Ashley was so eloquent and confident. After hearing about the services she offered at Ivy Grads Services, I knew I had to work with her. She helped me with interview practice. Through Ashley, I was able to better articulate my strengths and skills and gained confidence. I can say that I am better prepared for interviewing than I was before because of Ashley.”
Doriane Tchenga, University of Virginia School of Law, Class of 2021
"Ashley gives remarkable advice about interviews and recruiting, and was very patient with me as I went through the interview process. As someone who is introverted, I found her tips and tricks for networking to be invaluable, and now I am turning to her once again as I prepare to take the bar exam.”
Kelly Holloway, Columbia Law School, Class of 2018
BAR EXAM PREPARATION
“I studied for and successfully passed the July 2019 New York bar exam, with much credit due to Ashley and her incredible study materials. Ashley provided me with practical tips on passing the bar exam, helped calm my nerves while I was at my most anxious and was a source of constant support throughout the study period. If I ever needed her, Ashley was just a text message or a phone call away to remind me that I could and would pass the bar exam. I was pleased to find that Ashley’s materials were much easier to digest than the other materials I had been pouring over all summer. Ashley created helpful flow charts, flashcards (for MBE and MEE subjects), attack outlines, rule statements and MBE and essay tip sheets which were not only a fantastic way to supplement my study but provided clear explanations of the most important points of law. After receiving Ashley’s materials, my practice test scores, which had been relatively constant, shot up dramatically. when I found out that I passed the bar by a significant margin, Ashley was among the first people I texted. I cannot thank her enough for helping me get across the finish line. I would recommend Ashley and Ivy Grad Services to anyone who is serious about passing the bar exam on the first try.”
Edna Turay, University of Michigan Law, Class of 2019
"I reached out to Ashley when I was studying for the July 2017 bar exam. She was incredibly helpful. She provided me a list of exam tips that made the exam seem less daunting. The bar covers a lot of material and studying for it often felt overwhelming. However, Ashley broke it into component parts: providing advice on how to tackle each part of the exam and how to balance improving on my weaknesses while maintaining my strengths. She took the time to talk to me when I had specific questions or needed to speak to someone about my performance. Ashley is a great resource. She is diligent and grounded and very willing to give advice based on her own experiences. I felt confident going into the bar and it was in no small part due to the advice I received from Ashley.”
Lesedi Mbatha, Harvard Law School, Class of 2017
"While studying for the NY Bar I used the standard big test prep companies and was consistently disappointed. I was anxious and stressed because there seemed to be so much information to learn in so little time. I was in need of something else to supplement my study materials. Ashley was invaluable to me during this time. Ashley filled the gaping holes in my standard test prep. I heavily used her mini outlines and flashcards. The substantive materials were useful in synthesizing the information in a cognizable format. My bar prep would not have been the same without using these services.”
Taylor Allen, Harvard Law School, Class of 2017
"I used one of the standard Bar Review courses, but I was not confident that the course aligned with my individualized learning style. That's where Ashley came along. She provided me with several comprehensive study materials that she created herself. Her materials synthesized a massive amount of information that I would have not been able to review in the short time period that I had to study for the Bar. Not only did she synthesize the material, but she created it in a way that made it digestible and easy to commit to memory. She was a great resource, and gave me invaluable advice about substantive and strategic aspects of studying and taking the bar. She was also helpful and encouraging throughout the entire duration of my exam preparation period, and even on the day of the exam. Ashley was an incredible resource and I absolutely would not have passed the Bar without her. I cannot recommend Ashley enough. The structure, organization, and substance of her approach to the Bar is impressive and undoubtedly effective.”
Stephanie Dorsey, Harvard Law School, Class of 2017
"After graduating from a good law school where I had been academically successful, I initially underestimated the study time necessary to prepare for the bar exam. I had agreed to work while studying for the bar, and I quickly became overwhelmed and fell far behind my peers in exam readiness. I knew Ashley had already passed the Bar Exam and reached out to her for some advice. She helped me immensely, because instead of providing the standard assurance of 'you''ll be fine' that I had received from others, she helped me develop a strategic study plan. With her advice, I focused on essay subjects that are more frequently tested, and really worked on learning the core principles rather than being overwhelmed by the occasional "exception to the rule" questions. Ashley also provided me with examples of how I could organize what felt like an impossible amount of information into easier-to-memorize charts. I am happy to report that I passed the bar exam with flying colors!”
Catherine Akenhead, George Washington Law School, Class of 2017
"Ashley was an instrumental part of my bar study experience. Not only did she give pointed advice on study strategies, she also provided me with invaluable "attack" sheets, flashcards, and subject outlines that presented complicated concepts in a clear, straightforward, and memorable way. In my final weeks of study, I relied almost exclusively on Ashley's materials rather than my bar prep course, and it made all the difference. I would not have successfully made it through the experience without Ashley's advice, guidance, and support. I highly recommend Ivy Grad Services to anyone looking for advice and counseling for anything law school to bar exam study related -- Ashley has truly done (and excelled at) it all!"
Olivia Chalos, Fordham Law School, Class of 2017
"Ashley was very instrumental to my NY Bar Exam success. She sent me wonderful flashcards which helped me narrow in on what I needed to study. With the flashcards, it became much easier to internalize the information I needed to know for the exam. She also connected me with a great tutor who helped me improve my essay structure. Ashley would also check in on me to see how I was doing, offer additional suggestions, and most importantly, support. Studying for the bar can be very isolating and trying at times, but I always knew I had Ashley in my corner rooting for me along the way. I can’t thank her ENOUGH.”
Mma Afoaku, Northwestern School of Law, Class of 2017
JUDICIAL CLERKSHIP GUIDANCE
"Ashley has been an incredible resource when planning out my career path. As a teacher wanting to make a career change, Ashley helped me to think deeply about what I wanted to do and how to get there. Showing me the Ivy Grad Services timetable for the clerkship application process was invaluable. Using her own personal experience as a clerk, Ashley helped me to understand the functions of the office and guided me through the process of becoming an excellent law clerk candidate. She did not hesitate to reach out to people she knew in the field and connect me to them, and her network is very widespread. Federal clerkship applications can be daunting and overwhelming, but Ashley takes the time to let you know it is manageable and guides you to the best place you can be.”
Samantha Sigelakis-Minski, Brooklyn Law School, Class of 2019
RECOMMENDATION LETTER ASSISTANCE
"As a first-generation professional student, I was extremely nervous about navigating the law school application process and unsure of how to prepare a strong application that would allow me to secure multiple acceptances. Ashley provided me with crucial information regarding all the steps of the process, such as creating an LSAT study schedule, securing great recommendations, and reflecting on my life and experiences to write an amazing personal statement. The most helpful aspect of our work was the insightful and timely feedback that Ashley provided me with weekly. She was organized, set deadlines for my application process, and held me accountable in my journey. I am so grateful to have met Ashley and utilized Ivy Grad Services. If you are looking for a kind, thoughtful, supportive, and results-oriented consultant, you are in the right place! With Ashley's help and guidance, I will be heading to law school on a full scholarship and following in her footsteps as an SEO Law Fellow. Thank you so much, Ashley!”
Talia Scott, NYU School of Law, Class of 2024
“Ashley was the first person I asked to help me pick a reputable LSAT prep company and she advised me on best practices for letters of recommendation, law school info sessions, and outside scholarships. Ashley also introduced me to a network of people within the legal field which helped me to solidify my decision to apply to law school. I would recommend her, she is successful and does a great and detailed job with the advice she gives."
Marvellous Iheukwumere, Harvard Law School, Class of 2021
“As a nontraditional, first-generation prospective law student, the process of reaching out to professors several years after graduation can be intimidating. With Ashley’s assistance, implementing a letter of recommendation strategy to keep me organized, the process was less intimidating."
