Strategy Session

During the Strategy Session, we:


Brainstorm a compelling narrative to distinguish yourself, so you present as someone who will make significant contributions to this field in the future.


Discern what to include and what not to include on the CV.


Outline the courses and test scores needed to be a competitive applicant.


Map out which programs to which you should be applying.

Deliverables Package

Through the Deliverables option, each graduate applicant receives a personalized package depending on the student’s needs. Some common areas we assist with include:

  • Statement of Purpose
  • Supplemental essays
  • Resumé redrafting
  • Interview prep
  • Application review

We assist with graduate school applications and the many essays that often go along with these applications. You may need help with one essay, or you may need help with multiple complete applications. Our package will depend on your needs.
