Top School Test Drive (Application Review)
Take your application for an expert "test drive" and increase your chances of acceptance! This package provides you with valuable feedback and insights on your application to enable you to submit your strongest application. How it works: 1. Once a full set of application materials has been drafted, but not finalized, you'll share your everything (including your application form, essays, recommendations, test scores, transcripts, resume). 2. Within 72 hours (and usually less), you'll receive a written expert assessment and actionable feedback to hone your materials. Are the messaging and examples you’re providing clear, credible and compelling? Does your language reflect your unique “voice” in an authentic and engaging manner? Is important information missing? What you say and how you say it are both important when it comes to standing out. This package comes in two sizes: Lite: Full application review, including expert high-level written assessment and feedback (1 school) Recommended: Includes a 1 hr live session to discuss feedback and dive into your follow-on questions, ideas, and action plan. This is in addition to all the benefits of a Lite package (including full application review, written assessment, expert feedback for 1 school)
