“Thanks to Autumn, my husband and I avoided the conflict of constantly reminding our son of deadlines and nudging him along the application path. She helped our son strategize his shadowing hours and extracurriculars to really stand out and she kept him on a strict timeline for MCAT prep and the application cycle. Our son was admitted to his first choice school with a scholarship!”

From total confusion to total clarity

we negotiated a $210K unconditional scholarship!

I had no idea how to even start applying to law school. Autumn helped me figure out everything, from whether to include college jobs on my résumé to how to frame my GPA. Her strategic planning and Sunday check-ins kept me grounded. Without her, my applications wouldn't have been nearly as competitive. I don’t know if I would have been admitted at all without her, but she helped me get in and we negotiated a $210K unconditional scholarship!

Hi, I'm Autumn-the Founder of GradMissions.

Before starting GradMissions I spent over a decade as the dean of admissions for top law and medical schools. I sat on committees, reviewed thousands of applications, and helped shape entire incoming classes.

And what I saw again and again was this: by the time applications reached my desk, it was already too late.

These applicants were bright, driven, and full of potential–but they’d made avoidable mistakes. Not because they weren’t qualified, but because no one had taught them how this process really works.

That’s why I created GradMissions–to give you the expert, insider-level support you need before it’s too late.

personal statements

How can I write a strong personal statement for law or med school?

A powerful personal statement tells a compelling, authentic story while aligning with what law or med schools seek in applicants. At GradMissions, we use a proven storytelling framework that ensures your essay captivates admissions committees. Our Personal Statement Workshop walks you through the exact process, helping you avoid clichés and craft a personal statement that differentiates you.

What are the biggest mistakes to avoid in a personal statement?

The most common mistakes we see include:

- Writing a generic essay that lacks personality or a unique angle.

- Overusing clichés like "I want to help others" or "I've always dreamed of being a doctor/lawyer."

- Telling a résumé story instead of a transformative journey that shows growth.

GradMissions helps applicants identify and eliminate these pitfalls, replacing them with a polished, engaging personal statement that showcases their strongest attributes.

Can GradMissions help me brainstorm personal statement ideas?

Absolutely! Many students struggle with where to begin. We use a guided brainstorming process to extract your most compelling experiences and structure them into a statement that highlights your fit for law or medical school. Whether you need a full brainstorming session or just refining your draft, we tailor our support to your needs.

What do law schools look for in applicants?

Law schools seek candidates who demonstrate:

- Strong academic performance (GPA & LSAT)

- Clear analytical thinking and communication skills

- A compelling personal narrative

- A demonstrated interest in law through work, internships, or advocacy

GradMissions helps applicants align their applications with these expectations to maximize success.

What’s more important—LSAT score or GPA?

Both are critical, but their weight depends on the school. The LSAT is often considered the strongest predictor of law school success, while GPA reflects long-term academic ability. We help students strategize based on their individual profile—whether that means improving their LSAT, crafting a powerful GPA addendum, or leveraging soft factors to compensate for lower stats.

How can I stand out as a law school applicant?

Law schools receive thousands of applications from students with similar stats. To stand out, you need:

- A personal statement that tells an unforgettable story.

- A résumé that highlights leadership, impact, and legal exposure.

- Strong letters of recommendation that provide insight beyond grades and scores.

- A clear vision of how law school fits into your long-term goals.

GradMissions specializes in helping applicants craft a cohesive, compelling application package that law schools can’t ignore.
