Graduate School Admissions Coaching

Admissions Coaching for Real People

Do you know what the most frequent question we get from aspiring graduate students is? It is about getting into graduate school without a perfect record. As admissions coaches, we get this question even from the strongest applicants. Most graduate students do not have a perfect record. Some students have a low GPA, don’t have a research background, have been out of school for ages, failed a class, or have other blemishes on their records. Those are all important facets of your graduate school application, but they are not the end-all, be-all of getting accepted into graduate school! It takes strategy and a strong application package in other respects, but no single challenge should prevent a student from applying. That’s what our graduate school admissions coaching does. We are here to help you prepare, craft, and submit a stellar application package and increase your chances of acceptance.

Admissions Coaching Services

Personal Statements

As a critical component of your graduate school application, writing a compelling personal statement, research statement, or statement of purpose is vital. Our admissions coaches are experts at what to say and how to say it. We know what admissions committees are looking for and will help you craft the perfect essay.

Writing Samples

Do you have to produce a writing sample? Are you worried your academic writing isn’t strong enough? We offer expert writing coaching and document review that will improve your professional writing skills so that you can impress your admissions committee.

Resumes and Curriculum Vitae

We know the skills and aptitudes that admissions committees are looking for when reviewing student resumes, and we can say from experience, many of them are not what you think. Our admissions coaching includes resume review to ensure you are highlighting the most important skills in your application.

Reference Letters

Did you know there is a strategy for getting strong letters of recommendation from faculty and supervisors? Did you know that there are specific things to look for when deciding whom to ask for a letter of recommendation? That’s one of the many things admissions coaching is for: to teach you what you didn’t know you needed to know.

Interviews

Nervous about nailing your graduate school application interviews? From preparation to practice, our admissions coaches are here to help you feel more at ease and understand what admissions committees are looking for in their graduate school candidates.
