Description
Strong personal statements and school specific essays need to do more than answer the prompt. They must reveal judgment, self-awareness, leadership, motivation, and fit. The best essays are always specific enough to be memorable, strategic enough to support your application goals, and personal enough to feel authentic. This package is designed for applicants ready to elevate their graduate school application essays and tell their story in a way that truly resonates with admissions committees. Whether you’re starting from scratch or fine-tuning existing drafts, this package provides expert support to help you write essays that stand out. Activities in this package can include, but are not limited to: - Kickoff & Planning: Discuss your background, goals, and experiences to lay the groundwork for essays that align with your personal and professional journey. - Application Strategy: Identify key strengths and differentiators to emphasize across your materials, creating a cohesive and standout application. - Essay Brainstorming: Explore themes and storylines to uncover authentic, impactful narratives. - Essay Development: Write and shape essays that clearly convey your fit for the program and reflect your unique voice and aspirations. - Essay Refinement: Receive detailed feedback and edits to polish your essays for clarity, cohesion, and confidence at submission.

250+ Top Admits | Wharton MBA | Expert for Business, STEM & Policy Programs
Hi, I’m Becky Song, Founder & Executive Director of Ivy Journey, Wharton MBA, former Wharton admissions fellow, and admissions coach with 15+ years of experience helping applicants earn admission to top graduate programs. For master’s applicants, my specialty is helping strong candidates turn their academic, professional, and personal background into a clear, differentiated admissions strategy. I’m especially strong with applicants targeting MS, MiM, MSBA, MFin, policy, management, analytics, engineering/STEM-adjacent, and career-pivot programs where schools need to see not only strong credentials, but also a compelling reason for why this degree, why this program, why now, and why you. My clients have earned admission to top programs and universities including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, UPenn/Wharton, MIT, Columbia, Yale, Duke, Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, UCLA, NYU, Vanderbilt, and more. I also bring firsthand career strategy experience from management consulting, pharmaceutical/life sciences, research, entrepreneurship, government & nonprofits, which allows me to help applicants connect their graduate school goals to a credible long-term career story. I can help you with school selection, application strategy, personal statements/statements of purpose, resumes, recommendation strategy, scholarship positioning, interviews, waitlist strategy, and final application reviews. My approach is strategic, direct, and deeply personalized: we’ll identify your strongest admissions angle, sharpen your positioning, and make every part of your application reinforce a cohesive, memorable case for admission.
