Biography

Nathan Neely has helped hundreds of his clients find successful admission across every program in the top 50 law schools (and beyond). While each applicant is different, he’s proud to have worked with clients who followed their dreams and were admitted to schools from Yale Law School to South Texas College of Law Houston and everywhere in between. 

Experience & Education

Prior to joining Spivey Consulting Group in 2019, Nathan worked in admissions for over 12 years, including in the following roles.

  • Associate Director of Admissions at the University of Houston Law Center
  • Promoted to Director of Global and Graduate Programs at the University of Houston Law Center
  • Director of Admissions and Financial Aid / Chief Admissions Officer at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas William S. Boyd School of Law

Nathan holds a J.D. (2004) and, before working in admissions, worked with Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts.

In addition to his work in law schools, Nathan’s years of experience in LSAC’s volunteer governance offers a unique insight into the operating procedures of LSAC and programs across the country. In this capacity, he served on the following committees and groups.

  • Applicant Misconduct and Irregularity Subcommittee
  • Annual Meeting Work Group
  • National Recruitment Calendar Work Group

Personal Note

When he’s not running to keep up with his three children and one very supportive wife, you can find him running marathons and half marathons (he will soon be running his 25th full/ultramarathon!), officiating swim meets, and hiking (he summited Mount Whitney in 2009).

I was very apprehensive going into this process… With Nathan Neely’s help, I was confident my materials were strong by the time I submitted… Nathan was realistic but encouraging. The Spivey process is about more than just submitting a perfect application. Nathan worked with me to craft essays that showed my strengths and true personality. I know that those values would not have shined through as clearly without Nathan’s help. I am so grateful for Nathan’s guidance and his friendship throughout this process. A year ago, I would have never believed all the options I would have. Stanford Law School is the best outcome I could have ever imagined.
