About Danielle
Hi, I'm Danielle Mikaelian! As a current Harvard Law student and Columbia University graduate with a BA in English Literature, my path is proof that I know how to leverage what admission committees are looking for. College and graduate admissions have only become more competitive, and it's essential to have the right person by your side to help you navigate the journey. By understanding your unique strengths and aspirations, we can work together to get you into your dream school and receive your dream job offers! Beyond personally being accepted to the country's most selective undergraduate institutions and law schools with millions in scholarship money, I have a proven track record. I've spent the last nine years working in admissions consulting for some of the world's top admissions companies. I have helped hundreds of students through different aspects of admissions processes - whether it be through revising essays, finalizing college lists, landing them internships, or helping them negotiate scholarship money. I've also worked as a professional editor for admissions companies, publishing companies, and multiple Ivy League journals. In addition to this, I received multiple offers from the country's most selective big law firms and have helped guide numerous individuals through legal recruiting processes. I am very knowledgeable about the differences between top law firms and can help you find a firm that's a great personal and professional fit. I look forward to working together!
Why do I coach?
I am the first law student in my extended family and much of my educational journey has been self driven. After spending hours scouring platforms like College Confidential and Reddit to teach myself about the college and law school admissions process, it is a privilege to give back to the next generation of aspiring applicants.
