Congratulations on reaching the interview stage for Schwarzman Scholars! This package gives you one focused, highly realistic practice run so your answers land clearly with panelists who don’t know your context. First, I'll review your submitted application materials and prepare challenging and relevant questions. Then, we’ll run a 25–minute mock with true panel pacing (tangents, curve balls, interruptions, as well as accuracy and specificity probes, all carefully tailored to your application). Finally, we’ll spend 30–35 minutes on a live debrief, sharpening structure, proof, and delivery. I don’t script answers for you; I coach clarity and structure so your real voice comes through. Recording is welcome for your personal review. Mock interviews will be conducted entirely in English. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to run the feedback section of our conversation in either language, depending on your preference. Note: This is a tiered package. You can save a lot on per-hour costs by buying a package including several mock interviews.

I will read your entire submitted application (or all the sections that you feel comfortable sharing) in advance of our conversation and come ready with relevant, thought-provoking, and challenging questions. We'll then have one mock interview (or more, depending on which package you choose), followed by a live feedback session. Policies and Terms: -Preparation Materials: Clients are responsible for sending all relevant materials at least 12 hours in advance of our conversation. -Rescheduling and Missed Appointments: You may reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before the session. If you ask to reschedule between 24 and 6 hours before the session, a 50% fee will be applied (calculated on the session price). If you reschedule or cancel within 6 hours, arrive 15+ minutes late, or do not attend, the session's full fee will be charged, and the session will be considered used. -No Guarantee of Admission: While coaching significantly improves preparation, admissions outcomes are never guaranteed. -Independence: This service is independent coaching and is not affiliated with Schwarzman Scholars or Tsinghua University.
