HOURLY SERVICES
–  General Consultation and Strategic Advice

–  School Selection

We help you choose the schools that are right for you. In the course of helping students apply to programs, we found that International students, in particular, need help with school selection.  We do the background research, distilling pages and pages of brochures and websites and online information into a short list of schools for you to apply to. We can take into consideration factors including academics, social environment, location (city, rural, or suburbs), distance from airport, mix and integration of international students, or whatever is important to you. We will speak with alumni and provide you with their feedback, where possible.

–  Application Materials Review (2 hour minimum)

We review all your application materials and your application package as a whole and make suggestions about how to improve the overall presentation or theme.

–  Essay Development Strategy

We work with you to create a personal story and help create a structure and an outline for your essay – linking personal events, work experiences, and accomplishments together, and weaving them into an essay that tells your story in the most compelling way. We will not write your essay for you, but will provide some structure and guidance about compelling essay topics based on your life experiences.

–  Essay Revision and Editing (3 hour minimum)

We can work with you on essay revision and editing on an hourly basis. This hourly service is recommended only for those who have very specific questions about their essay, or who may only need very basic help improving their English grammar and sentence structure. Based on experience, a critical review of the essay (including editing, proofreading, and suggestions for improving the positioning and theme) and discussion with the client generally takes 4 to 6 hours total. For those who seek a critical review of their essay with suggestions for improvement, we recommend that you purchase the Essay Review Package which includes comprehensive editing services for $899.

–  Resume Review (2 hour minimum)

We will review your resume or CV for the application package, working with you on formatting, and improving the presentation it in such a way that it strengthens the rest of your application package. We expect a comprehensive resume review and editing to take from 2 to 4 hours including our upfront review time and the time we spend directly with you.

– “Letters of Recommendation”

The Letter of  Recommendation is extremely important when applying to the most competitive programs in the US. We help you select your recommendors, and advise you on how to approach them. While many US employers are accustomed to writing MBA recommendations for their employees, this may be the first time your supervisor has been asked to write a Recommendation Letter. We work with on how to approach your supervisor, and how to present background materials and written guidelines that will help your employer write a strong recommendation.

–  Interview Strategy and Preparation

We can help you prepare for these interviews by anticipating questions that interviewers might ask, and by strategizing together about how to answer those questions. We can also provide a mock interview via Skype or in person.

–  Post Admission Advice

Once you are admitted, we are happy to advise you about the strategy for selecting a school, questions you might want to ask alumni, about how you might want to prepare for the program, or any other questions you might have.
