Graduate and Professional Schools

Applying to graduate school is overwhelming. For many people, essay writing may be the most daunting component. Whether you’re applying to law school, MBA, MPH, or PhD programs, the application essays are critical for explaining who you are and how you fit into prospective programs. I’m here to make your writing experience less stressful and make sure your story stands out to admissions committees.

MBA — The requirements for business school applications vary widely, making essay writing a particular challenge. I will help you streamline the process by organizing your writing by theme. We will tackle the most common prompts to help you generate content to use across applications. As you begin drafting each individual essay, I will help you clearly articulate how your professional experience and future goals align with the strengths of each prospective program. I will also provide feedback on any supplemental written components.

Law School — Law school application requirements vary, as do expectations for the personal statement. I will help you generate, outline, and draft a core narrative to adapt for each school’s personal statement, as well as organize, brainstorm, and draft responses to common supplemental essay topics. For all written components, I will help you clearly articulate how your core values, legal and academic interests, and professional goals align with the strengths of each program.

Doctoral programs — Requirements for doctoral programs vary, but all require a personal statement that clearly articulates a unique research agenda. I will help you hone your research interests to identify a compelling agenda that aligns with the substantive strengths of each department. Once your agenda is clear, I will help you brainstorm, draft, and polish the personal statement and any additional written materials.
