Applications to MBA, LLM, and other graduate school programs and scholarships

I have experience of working with applicants and applications for hundreds of academic institutions around the world. I do not choose to work with only those clients who are applying to "elite" institutions, but am willing to help anyone and everyone, regardless of their background or the schools they are applying to.

I have worked closely with people from leading firms and organizations representing almost every industry, individuals representing small family businesses or local firms, as well as the self-employed and unemployed. Everybody, whatever their background, has the potential to present a strong and persuasive case for admission to leading schools and academic programs around the world.

Depending on their individual needs and schedule, I work one-on-one with the applicant to shape their application strategy, plan and revise their essays and resume, and coach them for interviews, ultimately leading to successful admission.
