Did anybody go with an hourly consulting route for admissions consultants? How did that work for you and did you wish that you got a full package instead?

I did. I was able to get 6 schools for essentially the price of one school full package. I didn’t need resume help, all for the story and essay editing really.

Which consultant did you use?

If you can I say go for it. Sherpa Prep in the DC area is amazing, but I believe the prices are higher for people who did not use its GMAT prep services.

They are all good. I used both the main guy and the other staff for other aspects (I only used the main guy for interview prep). All of my friends who used them ended up getting into multiple HSW schools.

Anyone have three kids and working in big law? I just found out I’m pregnant with no. 3 and it’s been a lot trying to juggle morning sickness, but based on my experience, I know this is only the tip of the iceberg of what’s to come. My husband and I are elated, but the anxiety of being a mom of 3 kids and working in big law is preventing me from truly enjoying this news. It would be good to know what it’s really like having 3 kids so that I can evaluate how long I really have left in big law.
