Plan & Prices

All prices are in US Dollars. Payments may be made through wire transfer or PayPal (additional 5% fee applies) and need to arrive before services are provided.

Unlimited Time Package

This plan is designed for applicants looking to maximize every area of their application in a deep partnership. There are no time limits, so the applicant and Sam will continue working until each are satisfied with the quality of the application. Pricing is determined per school and includes everything you need:

Application Strategy

We develop a strategy based on the client's background and interests to find which schools will be the best fit. This strategy also takes into consideration the applicant's progress and availability to make sure we have a successful timeline in place. Tips for managing recommendation letters are also included.

Final Polish

We will meticulously check your entire application's final version just before you submit it to the school to find any spelling, punctuation or grammar errors.

Resume

We help build a powerful leadership-focused resume.

Interview Preparation

Our interview prep sessions prepare you for the final hurdle in your application process. You will build the confidence to put your best food forward in this final important step.

Essays

Unlimited drafts of essays, no time limits

Pre- and Post-interview Tasks

Many schools are adding additional elements between the application and interview stage such as video essays and additional essays for only those selected for interviews.

Recommendation Letter Guidance

We advise best practices for selection and approaches in the important recommendation letter process.

School Scholarship Essays

Some schools have dedicated scholarship essays separate from their main essays.

Mini-essays

Many applicants are surprised to find longer writing sections and mini-essays in the application form outside of the main essays. Full-support is provided in these areas to make sure every aspect shines.

Waitlist Support

Also included is support for additional documents and strategy for waitlisted applicants.

Hourly Packs

Hourly Packs are designed for applicants hoping to spread their consulting time over a larger number of schools, and are more confident to make some decisions in the writing stage. Applicants using hourly packs often anticipate less time required for interview training and completing mini-essays.

Hourly Pack consulting time can be used freely among all elements similar to the Unlimited Time Package. Meetings together and Sam’s solo work on your documents will subtract from the pre-paid consulting time in increments of 10 minutes and more.

Use pre-paid time among the following elements:
