The Graduate School Admissions Essays

The focus of Kaplan's consulting service is the admissions essays—the opportunity for you to stand out from other applicants, and the most challenging part of applying to selective graduate school programs for any candidate. You will benefit from a critique of your essays by a Kaplan consultant who is familiar with what US graduate schools are looking for. The consultant will assess your essays with an objective and experienced eye, and work with you to suggest ways you can improve them to make the best impression. We recommend that we work with you on one school's essay(s) first, allowing you to replicate what you have learnt with other schools. During 5 hours of admissions consulting we could typically review two drafts of a school's essay(s)*, plus review other aspects of your application.

Other Aspects of Your Applications

As needed or requested, we will allocate some of your time with the consultant to discuss other aspects of your applications, including recommendations/references, choice of schools, transcripts, and application forms.

Once you have registered for consulting, our Academic Coordinator will contact you to discuss your needs. Ideally, please allow two weeks' notice for booking consulting hours as consultants may not be available at short notice, particularly during busy periods. For further information please contact us; we're open 10 AM - 10 PM, Monday to Thursday, and from 10 AM - 6 PM, Friday to Sunday.
