Kevin Petty has over 15 years of law school admissions experience, including seven years advising applicants as a consultant at Spivey and over a decade working in admissions offices, most recently as Director of Admissions and Financial Aid at the University of Chicago Law School, where his duties involved the following.
Prior to joining the University of Chicago Law School, Kevin’s background included experience working in human resources, business and financial management, and business consulting. He received a B.S. in Business Management from DePaul University.
Kevin calls Chicago home, and he enjoys clean eating, cooking, running along Chicago’s lakefront, and walks with his very sweet but very opinionated Boxer.
I had the pleasure to work with Kevin during my cycle and was constantly thrilled with his professionalism, knowledge, and generosity with his time. As a splitter applying straight out of undergraduate, I had a number of questions about school list, essay strategy, and more, all of which Kevin helped me navigate deftly. Kevin was always accessible via email or call, and I never felt at all rushed or like I wasn’t a priority of his. In what could have been an incredibly stressful cycle, I felt like I had a supporter in my corner. This culminated in multiple T14 acceptances with scholarship, while many others with my numbers got primarily waitlists and denies. Kevin absolutely resulted in a stronger application, and I cannot recommend him more highly.
