Recommendation letters
We cannot stress enough the importance that the application committee places on your recommendation letters. Recommendations not only reflect your skills and goals, but your choice of recommenders also gives the committee a measure of your trustworthiness and potential. A sloppy recommendation letter can absolutely damage your application.
We offer a choice of either basic editing services or helping you create a professional and thoughtful recommendation letter that both showcases your talent and that of your recommender.
As with essays, we offer both basic edits and a customized recommendation letter. For a customized recommendation letter, we must first contact your recommender and also get his/her approval after the letter is completed. We offer a 3 business day turnaround for recommendation letters immediately after we reach your recommender.

Application Strategy
The application is usually long with seemingly random parts. Why would the application committee possibly care about what you do outside of school? What extracurricular activities demonstrate leadership, community, and aptitude?
As students who have applied to diverse programs in top schools, we can guide you through each section and provide insight into what each school is specifically looking for.
We offer half and one hour phone calls to guide you on any part of your application.
Interview Preparation
Interviews are very challenging, but can also be a wonderful opportunity to give your application that extra boost. This is your chance to connect with someone affiliated with your school and demonstrate that you are a good fit.
We help you prepare through mock interviews and detailed feedback on your performance. Our interviews will be tailored specifically for your school of choice so you can perform at your very best on that crucial day.
We offer a forty minute interview with twenty minutes of feedback. You are also welcome to call us for general interview tips and strategies.
