Essay planning and coaching

Create unique essays that admissions directors will love and that clearly show you want admitted.  Using our “4 Degrees of Detail” framework, we will work closely to ensure your essays say all the things you need to say in addition to answering the question.  We will plan important themes ahead of time and review your drafts to make sure you are on the right track.

Imagine planning to submit 4-6 applications that each require between 1-3 essays.  Some school essays ask specific questions, other schools will be more general and open ended.  Now imagine the different deadlines for each university and you have a real mess to manage.

It can be really tempting to write a generic essay possible to satisfy the largest number of schools.  It would be a bad idea to do that.  You will hurt your chances of gaining admission to the better schools you apply to because they are not impressed by generic essays that lack real differentiation.  We have read over 4,000 submitted application essays and our ”4 Degrees of Detail” framework is based on what successful essays contain.

This service includes one initial consultation call and two followup meetings, recording of all of our meetings, guidance on content, and a review of supplemental application materials before writing any essays.  Drafts will be reviewed three times with feedback provided, including a final critique to eliminiate any last minute issues.

Reference planning

Getting great references is vital to getting into the graduate school of your choice.  Imagine getting all of your application materials together and missing out on your dream school because your references were not great.  How would you feel?

Fortunately you can potentially strengthen your references by providing them with additional details and important insights about yourself that will prove valuable when your application is reviewed.  We provide a reference planning service that helps you make the most of this important part of your application.  It can make the difference between an ordinary application and an extraordinary one because admissions directors can easily spot reference letters that have been used for multiple schools and programs.  These letters often disappoint and fail to strengthen an applicant’s chances of admission.

Mock interviews

Mock interviews are an important part of the application process and an effective way to increase your chances of admission to schools that interview candidates.  You will be prepared for all different kinds of interviews: assessment interview, marketing interview, recruitment interview and relationship interviews.

Our practice interviews feel like real interviews and will cover your career goals, professional qualifications, and how the specific program will help you achieve your goals.  We will also discuss academic qualifications as this is often a topic of discussion in some admissions interviews.

Our clients receive:

• Pre-interview strategy planning
• Videotaped practice interview (45 minutes)
• Video of our interview for your review and reference
• Interview analysis guide
• Practice interview analysis review session
