Payments

We have two different payment options: an hourly rate and fixed-fee application packages. See below for details.

Hourly Rate

We bill an hourly rate of US$125 for our graduate school admissions services. We only require a minimum 1 hour payment to retain the services of a consultant with graduate school admissions committee experience.

We recommend starting with an initial one-hour consultation. We can conduct this by phone, or in person if you happen to live near a consultant.

In a one hour initial consultation we can:

• assess your candidacy; 

• advise you on how to best highlight your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses; 

• recommend the best graduate programs for you based on your background, preferences, and future goals; and 

• formulate a detailed action plan to ensure you are optimally positioned for your applications.

If you choose to continue with the hourly payment option, you will not pay us for services you do not desire and you will always be in charge of how we spend our time with you. We are available to begin helping you achieve your graduate school ambitions right now.

We also accept credit card payments via telephone and fax should you have any problems paying online. See the bottom of this page for our contact information.

Fixed-Fee Waitlist Assistance

A highly qualified consultant will review an application that landed you on the waitlist. He or she will share with you the probable reasons for the waitlist and advise you on the best way to handle this situation. You will receive professional assistance with any material the consultant feels you should submit to the program such as a letter reiterating your interest in the program, an additional letter of reference, etc. The fixed-fee price for this service is $195.

Fixed-Fee Ding Analysis

A highly qualified consultant will review an application that resulted in a rejection. He or she will share with you the probable reasons for the ding and will advise you on what you could have done to increase your acceptance chances. You will also receive an assessment of your chances as a graduate school re-applicant as well as an action plan to ensure you are optimally positioned for those future applications. The fixed-fee price for this service is $195.
