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?
-

Application Strategy, Requirements, and Deadlines
-
Essay Structuring and Editing
-
