mba & graduate advising

Our MBA & graduate advising lends a strategic advantage to applicants balancing time-intensive applications with their academic and professional lives. At every stage of the admissions process, we help applicants effectively demonstrate leadership and create strong, compelling narratives that boost their competitiveness.

  • strategy sessions

    Before the admissions season, applicants meet as often as needed to create an individualized action plan centered around their goals. During the admissions season, we assist with all stages of the application process.

  • profile development

    As needed, applicants receive counsel on areas including supplementary course selection, community engagement, and leadership development to strengthen their overall profile in the admissions process.

  • school selection

    We analyze each applicant’s profile and generate a balanced list of suggested programs based on each school’s personality, network, and specialized academic programs.

  • essay brainstorming & drafting

    We lead brainstorming sessions for all personal statements and supplemental essays. We then work closely to craft detailed outlines and assist with every stage of the writing process.

  • essay review

    We conduct a final review of all essays before submission, ensuring that our applicants present compelling narratives that effectively highlight their strengths.

  • résumé

    Applicants will be provided with résumé templates suited to their professional experience, and we support in crafting thoughtful, informative descriptions. This résumé will be given to recommenders and interviewers to clearly present the applicant’s accomplishments.

  • interview preparation

    We conduct mock interviews with our applicants and provide lists of school-specific suggestions and questions to anticipate. We also assist in composing personalized thank-you notes to interviewers.

  • letters of recommendation

    We help applicants navigate communications with professors and professional mentors equipped to write compelling recommendation letters. Where applicable, we also provide guidance on which outside additional letters of recommendation to request to further strengthen an application.

  • deferral requests & waitlist strategy

    If an applicant is admitted but would like to defer their enrollment, we advise on how best to frame that request. If an applicant is waitlisted at their university of choice, we help them craft letters of continued interest that highlight key developments in their professional and intellectual lives.

  • once admitted

    Applicants receive insight into selecting a school to attend. If necessary, we also continue to offer advice on navigating waitlists alongside admissions to increase the chance of acceptance.
