2x Fully Free Masters from Stanford University | Essay and Interview Pro
I'm currently a dual master's student at Stanford, and I was accepted to every master's program I applied to during my first cycle. Both of my Stanford degrees were fully funded, and I also received full-tuition and full-ride offers from Johns Hopkins and Georgetown, so I know how to position applications that catch the attention of top programs and how to secure funding while you're at it. I can help with applications to any master's program, but I'm especially qualified to coach students applying to programs in history, policy, and international relations, since those align with the degrees I've completed. That said, the strategies I use (how to craft a compelling statement of purpose, how to tailor your application to what committees actually want to see, how to make your experience stand out) work across disciplines. Whether you need help figuring out which programs to apply to, how to frame your research interests, or how to polish your essays and CV, I've been through it and I know what works. I'll work with you on everything from program selection and timelines to statement review and interview prep.
