Graduate Applicants

Applying to graduate school is not a decision to take lightly and requires reflection and preparation.  It's not only a time commitment but a financial investment as well.  Whether you're a freshman in college considering graduate school, a senior who is about to graduate, or someone who has graduated and is considering returning to school to increase your career options.  I can assist clients with the following and more:

 

• Self-Reflection and Assessment - Why do you feel that you are a good candidate for graduate school? What are your academic interests and long-term goals? What kind of degree are you considering? What are your career options and paths? If you are considering a Ph.D., what are to odds of landing a tenure-track position? What are employment trends?

• Masters or Ph.D.? Which path is better suited to your academic and career goals? What is the time commitment?

• School Selection

• Application Strategy, Requirements, and Deadlines

• Essay Structuring and Editing

• Personal Statement Review

• Recommender Selection: Who should write them and when?

• CV/Resume

• Financial Aid: How will I pay for my education?  What choices are available and which one would be right for me?
