What's included in the Premium 15 Hour Package?

Depending on where you are in the application process, your package includes whatever guidance you might need. Since business schools require 4 to 6 essays per school, you may want the extra review time this package affords you to perfect your essays and customize them to each school. Non-native English speakers may also need this extra time to refine their essays and prep for the interviews. This could additionally cover developing an application timing strategy, discussing specific schools and what they seek in candidates, critiquing and discussing the first draft of an essay set, and reviewing the resume, and preparing for interviews. See the timeline below for how long each application "item" typically takes the consultant to gauge your package selection.

Each package kicks off with a 15 minute introductory call, during which you and the consultant exchange contact information and briefly strategize how you will structure your sessions together. From there, you and the consultant will act as a team, attacking your applications from the most ideal angles for you. You will also receive free, immediate access to our Online Toolkit which keeps your admissions efforts focused and organized.

Many of our students use their Premium 15 Hour Package for:
  • Exchanging ideas on how to best package your candidacy, including the theme for your
    application(s)
  • Analyzing the specific personalities of your targeted schools and how to best customize your application(s)
  • Assessing the likelihood of acceptance to your target schools and refining the list as necessary
  • Developing an action plan for meeting your application deadlines
  • Brainstorming possible essay topics that reflect your personal traits, experiences, and accomplishments
  • Reviewing and critiquing all schools' essay sets for consistency and depth
  • Prepping for your business school interviews, enabling you to anticipate questions and prepare responses
  • Reviewing a resume to ensure it exhibits your achievements strongly

THE KAPLAN DIFFERENCE
It is one thing to have an MBA and quite another to have read thousands and thousands of applications. My consultant's experience has provided her a comprehensive understanding of what each and every school is looking for and what drives their interest in those characteristics.
