The International Applicant: Get Into Top Master's Programs
Five 60-minute sessions delivered over 8–12 weeks, aligned with your application deadlines. Session 1: Strategy & School Selection (60 min) We map your profile: your background, your goals, and what makes you different from thousands of other applicants. We identify programs across business, communication and media, education, or humanities, not just rankings, but actual fit. Session 2: Narrative & Storytelling (60 min) We build your core narrative. Not a list of achievements. A story that connects your past, present, and future. You leave with a one-paragraph answer to "Who are you and why this program?," the foundation for every essay and interview. Session 3: Essay Strategy (60 min) We break down each program's specific prompts. You leave with a clear plan for every essay: what to write, what to cut, and how to make every word work. I help you see what to say and how to say it in your own voice. Session 4: Resume & Recommendations (60 min) We turn your resume from a job description into an achievement story. We identify who should write your recommendations and what specific stories they should tell. Session 5: Interview Prep (60 min) We run a mock interview based on actual program formats. You leave with feedback, weak spots identified, and a plan to fix them. Between sessions: Written feedback on up to two drafts per essay or document. Email support: Quick clarifications within 48 hours. Strategy questions stay in sessions. This package is for you if you are applying from outside the US or UK and want to compete at the highest level. You are targeting top Master's programs in business, communication and media, education, or humanities.
What's included
Direct. Practical. No fluff. I help you see what you already know but cannot articulate. Most of my clients already have strong profiles: good grades, good work experience, clear goals. What they lack is the ability to tell their story in a way that admissions committees will remember. That is where I come in. I am a sparring partner. I will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If you want someone to push you, hold you accountable, and help you produce work that stands out, even as an international applicant, book the package.
- A target school list (reach, fit, safety) based on your profile and goals
- A one-paragraph core narrative that answers "Who are you and why this program?"
- A complete essay plan for every program on your list: what each prompt is asking, what to write, and what to cut.
- A rewritten resume that reads like an achievement story, not a job description.
- A clear brief for each recommender
- A mock interview with feedback
- Written feedback on up to two drafts per essay or document.
- A complete, competitive application and the confidence that you have done the work to stand out

Caolan H.
150+ MBA & Masters Admits | Expert in Cross-Cultural Applications
I help ambitious professionals and teams navigate high-stakes international transitions, whether that means working across cultures, leading in a global company, or making a major move. I’ve coached executives at Netflix Korea, Woven by Toyota, and Banco Santander. Before that, I was Global Head of Content at On, where I built and scaled the brand team across three continents and led narrative through a $10B IPO. My clients usually come to me when they are already performing at a high level, but something important is getting lost in translation: culturally, relationally, or strategically. I help them communicate clearly, build trust across difference, and make decisions with more confidence and less second-guessing. What I bring is not just frameworks, but perspective: I understand what it feels like to operate between countries, expectations, and identities. My work helps people move forward with clarity while feeling more understood, more grounded, and less alone in the process.
