The earlier applicants begin the graduate planning process, the more likely there is to be a successful outcome. Early graduate school planning ensures you are doing what you need to be doing in advance of the process. This significantly decreases stress associated with the process while enabling you to put your best foot forward. We will proactively counsel you during freshman and sophomore year on the following topics:

• Myers-Briggs strong interest assessment
• Academic interest definition/goals setting
• Academic advising/course selection
• Graduate admissions strategy
• Extracurricular profile development
• Internship planning
• Developing research experience
• Outreach to university professors & school visits
• Standardized test strategy

Your personal statement and CV are critical factors considered by graduate admissions officers. Our methodical and systematic approach to essay and CV development will enable you to effectively communicate your interests, highlight your accomplishments and demonstrate unique qualities in your graduate school applications.

Your counselor will lead you through an introspective brainstorming process to identify key differentiators to highlight in your written application materials. You will then work with your counselor to develop a compelling and engaging essay and CV that allow admissions officers to gain a deep understanding of your passions and goals.

This plan provides comprehensive brainstorming and editing on the Personal Statement and CV.
