GRADUATE ADMISSIONS COUNSELING
Just as colleges and universities bombard you with brochures, emails, and other advertisements to convince you that you belong on their campuses, you are marketing yourself to colleges and universities through your application. Scholar Strategies applies proven business approaches to help you present yourself in your best light.
- Who is your target audience?
- What is your personal brand?
- What is your brand promise?
- Is that promise relevant and unique to your target audience?
- Are you sending a consistent message to support your brand?
You can't be all things to all people, so at the core of what we do is help you find the right-fit schools to match your individual strengths. It's about taking what you've done - your academic record, achievements and activities - and telling a compelling story about who you have the potential to become.
At Scholar Strategies, you will partner with a counselor to develop your personal brand and to ensure that message is consistent across all parts of your application.
Please contact us for a consultation to see which program is right for you.
