Hey! Excited to see that you're looking to pursue higher ed! I know, you're probably thinking this writing is some form of automated AI slop (hint: it's not). I'm here to coach you because I found my post-Army grad school application experience more difficult in some ways than my time in the military(!) I want to help you navigate those challenges and achieve your goals. Really you're here to know how to answer: what matters most to you and why? right? It's a tough question but my quick tip is that if you start with that question and reflect on what you want in lift, it can be a great thought exercise for you, whether you get in or not.
