Package Description:

This package is for PhD applicants who’ve been waitlisted and want to take proactive steps to increase their chances of admission. You’ll work one-on-one with an experienced coach to understand your position, craft thoughtful communications, and identify opportunities to strengthen your candidacy while staying top-of-mind with faculty and admissions committees. You’ll receive strategic support and messaging tailored to your academic and research goals—so you’re not just waiting, but actively positioning yourself for success. Common coaching activities in this package include, but are not limited to: - Waitlist Assessment: Review your submitted application and any available feedback to assess potential areas for improvement. - Letter of Continued Interest (LOCI): Draft thoughtful, professional updates that communicate new accomplishments and sustained interest. - Profile Enhancement: Highlight meaningful developments in your academic, research, or professional journey since submission. - Faculty Communication: Receive guidance on how (and when) to reach out to faculty or programs while on the waitlist. - Decision Support: Navigate school-specific next steps, optional updates, or offers from other programs with clarity and confidence.
