Package Timeline & Availability Your package remains active through the end of your application season, including support for interview preparation and waitlist strategies as needed. How We'll Work Together Availability: I'm generally available Monday through Friday. I don't typically work weekends or holidays, though I do make exceptions to support students facing winter holiday deadlines—I know those can be stressful! Scheduling Sessions: You'll have direct access to my calendar to book sessions at times that work for you. Please schedule at least 24 hours in advance so I can prepare to make our time together as productive as possible. Application Material Reviews: I'll provide detailed feedback on your essays, résumé, and other materials within 2-3 business days during the week. For quick questions via email, you can expect to hear back within 24-36 hours. Meeting Frequency: How often we meet will depend on where you are in the process and what you need. Some weeks we might connect multiple times as deadlines approach, while other periods might be quieter as you're working independently. An Important Note While I'm committed to helping you submit the strongest possible applications, I cannot guarantee admission to any specific program. What I can promise is expert guidance, honest feedback, and strategic support throughout your entire application journey.
