This package is designed to help you craft a compelling, strategic, and authentic application for top Master’s in Real Estate or MBA real estate-focused programs like NYU, Columbia, USC, MIT, and others. Drawing from my own admissions experience and mentoring others through the process, I will guide you step-by-step through every component of your application. We will start with a full assessment of your academic and professional background and identify the best way to position your story for each program. Together, we will work on identifying the right schools for your goals, developing a unique admissions strategy, refining your resume to match graduate school standards, outlining and editing your personal statements and essays, and preparing for any interviews you may encounter during the admissions process. I will also provide strategic advice on navigating timelines, working with recommenders, and positioning your real estate interest or career pivot effectively, with specific insights into what different programs value most. Each session is customized to ensure your application materials are strong, cohesive, and compelling.
Clients will leave this package with a fully polished graduate school resume, a strong and authentic personal statement, clearly organized short essays, and a well-prepared strategy for admissions interviews. They will gain a deeper understanding of what each targeted program is looking for and how to best highlight their background, skills, and real estate interests to align with those expectations. By the end of the coaching, clients will have a complete, cohesive application that tells their story in a compelling way, along with the confidence to present themselves effectively to admissions committees. Whether aiming for an MSRE, MSRED, or real estate-focused MBA track, clients will be equipped with a clear path forward and competitive application materials that maximize their chances of admission.
