Start with a free 15-minute introductory call

Before choosing any service, you can submit an inquiry and schedule a free introductory call. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk about where you are in the process, and decide whether advising is the right fit.

Choose the right next step

If advising makes sense, I will recommend the most appropriate starting point for you.

There is no pressure to commit before we talk. The goal is to help you understand what type of support would be useful — and what may not be necessary.

Strategy Consultation

For most applicants, the best place to begin is with a comprehensive, individualized strategy consultation. We review your metrics, experiences, school list, application positioning, and overall narrative so you can understand where you stand and what to do next. This is especially helpful if you are not sure whether you need full support, targeted help, or simply a clearer plan.
