Becoming a Rhodes Scholarship Finalist
As a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship in 2017 (one of 12 selected from the states of Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts), I know how stressful and opaque the application process can be. When I got to the interview, it was clear to me that the 6 Harvard students who had been selected had all received substantial preparation support from Harvard and from their own personal network (including strategies for the notorious Cocktail Reception!) that other students like me were not afforded. This has motivated me to help others on this platform to level the playing field. Let me help you take your best shot - after all, you only get one chance at it. Choose from a variety of offerings within this package that are tailored to your needs. Want to just talk things through? Book a 1-hour strategy session to demystify the process. Want to work on interview prep? We can do that too. Want to strategize for your personal statement? Let's do it. Want it all? We can do that too!
