prefer) on school selection, application strategy, positioning, and client
discovery (getting to know your story). Unlimited means unlimited.

● Review and edit of application resume.

● Review of your Internet and social media presence.

● Review of entire data section of application (the non-essay portion of the application).

● Mock interview session using actual school interview questions, followed by detailed feedback on what you did well and how you can improve for each school.

90/60 Strategic Planning Service
New clients can schedule a 90-minute brainstorming/strategy session with Paul or one of our Senior Consultants to discover application themes and best stories, goals, recommenders, timelines etc., for the price of a 1-hour session. After this first call, Admitify will credit the first hour toward any other service purchased with the same coach, so you get the lower rate.

Hourly Coaching
Hourly coaching is ideal for applicants who need help on specific parts of their application. Most of our clients ask for help with essays, recommendations, and interview preparation. We’ll charge you only for actual minute-by-minute time spent working on your application (no ’rounding up’). And each time we send you work, we’ll tell you exactly how much time it took. You’ll always know where you stand.

Interview Prep
In your Interview Prep session, you’ll get a one-on-one 60-minute mock interview on Zoom with one of Admitify’s top coaches. Using actual school interview questions, your coach will provide personalized feedback on your interview content and delivery, so you can feel confident on interview day. We also offer specialized interview prep packages for Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, and Wharton’s Team Based Discussion that are geared specifically to each school’s unique requirements.

Early Planning Package
If you’re planning to pursue an MBA or specialized business master’s but you’re a year or two away, now is the perfect time to engage one of our expert coaches to help you develop a strategic plan to improve your candidacy. Admitify’s Early Planning package begins with a detailed questionnaire devised to discover your most important stories and what drives you. Next, your coach will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your strengths and weaknesses and give you a targeted list of schools, including ‘reach’ programs and what you need to do to get into them, as well as an action plan to help you strengthen your overall candidacy.

Other Services
We also offer Specialized Business Master’s packages for programs including MBAn, MCSci, MFin, and MiM, as well as other á la carte options such as Ding Analysis and Waitlist Strategy & Support.
