What's included in the Graduate Admissions Consulting Advantage
6 Hour Package?
Depending on where you are in the application process, your
graduate admissions consulting package includes whatever guidance
you might need. This package could cover developing an
application timing strategy, discussing specific schools and what
they seek in candidates, critiquing and discussing a first draft
of an essay set, and reviewing the resume. 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 Graduate Admissions Consulting
Advantage 6 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 applications
- 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 a first essay for tone, content,
and depth
- Reviewing your resume to ensure it exhibits your
achievements strongly
