Application Accelerator (PhD): 3 Live Sessions
Best for: applicants in the middle of an application cycle who want expert guidance across the key milestones. What's included: 1. Strategy — school/program selection, positioning, timeline, and recommender strategy 2. Essay review — deep-dive on your personal and research statements with detailed revision guidance 3. Polish & prep — final application review and/or interview preparation How it works: sessions are typically spaced 1–3 weeks apart to match your deadlines. Between sessions, I review your drafts asynchronously, so our live time goes to high-value discussion instead of reading.
