1. Initial Strategy Call

You and Lindsay are now a team and she’s pumped to start working on your application. Our first Zoom meet will be an open conversation about your personal and professional background and career goals. You will get real-time feedback about where you already stand out and what you can do right now to fill your gaps. After the call, Lindsay will create an application roadmap and timeline that will keep us organized and on track.

2. Craft Your Story

Adcoms read applications quickly and it can be easy for them to pigeonhole you as a certain ‘type’. You want to get ahead of this and tell your story in a way that is both captivating and authentic, but also gives a clear message about what you want to accomplish in business school. Through a series of Zoom meets, we will identify your strengths and unique experiences and craft these into a compelling story. This will serve as a framework for your essays, interviews, and other aspects of the application.

4. School Selection

We will start talking about schools during the initial strategy call. After we have developed your story and further defined your career goals, we are now in a position to lock-down a balanced list of reach and match schools. We will keep going back to this list, tweaking and changing as necessary.

5. Refine Resume

Your resume may have landed you a new job or recent promotion, but that’s not the same resume you should use for your application. Work with Lindsay to make your resume less technical or industry-specific, and more tailored to what schools want.

6. Determine Recommenders

Adcom expects you to use a current supervisor as a recommender, but that could be career suicide. We will talk through your options, navigate how to approach your recommenders, and identify the key points that we want them to emphasize. Also, we will put together a guide for your recommenders so that they feel well-equipped to represent you.

7. Essay Review

Essays can be overwhelming and adcom reads quickly. Learn how to write an essay that reinforces your unique story, succinctly captures your career goals, and makes you likable and memorable. We will iterate over your essays until we get it right.

8. The Second Opinion

We’ve created an awesome application! At this point, after being “in the weeds” for some time, we can benefit from an outside perspective. Lindsay has deep connections with former adcom from top programs and will invite a single “outsider” to read your first completed application and offer concrete, strategic feedback.

9. Interview Prep

Congrats on being invited to interview! The Comprehensive Package includes unlimited interview strategy time and a mock interview for each program, with real-time feedback. You will walk into your interviews feeling prepared and confident.
