GRADUATE
APPLICATIONS
For those who’ve reached the mountaintop only to dream of higher peaks
Like the educational experience itself, the grad school application process differs greatly from the undergrad. Even under the auspices of the same university, the submission requirements for a masters in sociology, for instance, are distinct from that of a med school or performing arts program. Combined with the additional testing often necessary, these prerequisites can make grad school feel like a tedious and overwhelming pursuit. That doesn’t mean it has to be. Our streamlined approach will demystify the process so you may confidently embark upon this next great adventure.
“Applying to graduate school was not something I was really looking forward to doing, however, Rachel made me enjoy it... She helps make your application tell your true story.”

For the intrepid traveler, in search of distant shores.
Applying to university outside of one’s home country creates extra pressures in an already intense period of transition.
You may require further testing.
Submission deadlines may differ and be further obscured by time zone disparities.
Local school counselors, unfamiliar with the american system, may not be suitably equipped to help.
You captain the ship, we’ll map out the details.
