Notes From Former Scholars

2015 LevelBar Scholar Kenny Gutierrez

Kenny recently graduated from UC Hastings, and passed the California Bar Exam this year.  Congratulations Kenny!  He has been selected as a Google Legal Summer Institute Scholar (a national program) *and* landed a summer associate position at Ropes & Gray on the intellectual property transactional team. He was Co-President of Hastings La Raza Law Student Association, and is on the Board of Directors for Instituto Familiar de La Raza in the Mission District in San Francisco. 
"LevelBar provided me with community and resources to build confidence and get into law school."

2017 LevelBar Scholar Lilianna Romero

Lili is currently a 3L at UC Davis School of Law. She is from San Leandro, CA and graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a double major in Sociology and Latin American/Latino Studies.
"I was part of the 2017 LevelBar cohort and I truly found this program to be an invaluable experience. Prior to starting the program I was completely lost in the law school application process. Thanks to LevelBar, I was able to create a clear application roadmap and get introduced to the LSAT. I will forever be thankful for the assistance I received throughout the entire law school application process, for the amazing mentors I met here, and for helping me make my dream of becoming an immigration attorney a reality.  I hope to one day successfully advocate for my community, help others navigate the current broken immigration system, and bring families together."

2014 LevelBar Scholar Patty Chen

Patty is the first in her family to pursue a legal career.  With the help of LevelBar, Patty gained practical and useful information that helped her navigate the law school application process. After graduating from UC Berkeley, Patty attended UCLA School of Law; she graduated in 2018 with a specialization in public interest law and policy. She passed the California bar in 2018 (on her first try!), and she intends to pursue a fulfilling career as a public defender.
"I appreciated LevelBar for connecting me with a mentor who helped me shape my narrative for my personal statement. It also connected me with like--minded individuals who share similar goals to my own and with whom I still talk to this day. It provides a strong network that I never had before."

2017 LevelBar Scholar Andrew Gonzalez

Andrew is currently a 3L at Harvard Law School, but he is somehow still able to make time to mentor current LevelBar Scholars and help with personal statement editing.
"I enjoyed that the space was safe to learn and make mistakes."
