Package Description:

Most applicants focus exclusively on their application materials—but admissions decisions happen in context. When an admissions officer Googles you, connects with alumni who know you, or sees your name pop up in their network, what do they find? With 20+ years of strategic positioning experience, I help you create the conditions that make your application land in fertile ground rather than a vacuum. We begin with a 60-90 minute strategy session where I understand your target schools, current network, and timeline. Then we use your remaining hours for live strategic consulting on how to build meaningful relationships, demonstrate genuine interest, and position yourself as someone admissions already recognizes before they read your file. This package typically includes: *LinkedIn profile positioning for when admissions Googles you *Networking strategy for connecting authentically with students, alumni, and admissions *Demonstrated interest approach tailored to your target schools *Recommendation strategy including who to ask and how to brief them effectively *School-specific relationship-building plans that feel genuine, not transactional This is synchronous strategy work, not templates or checklists. We figure out what makes sense for YOUR situation, YOUR schools, and YOUR timeline—whether you're 12 months out or applying next round.
