Three paths. Pick the one that matches where you are.

Each phase has a clear checkpoint.

1. 01

   6–8 weeks

   Foundation

   Deep career-trajectory analysis, short- and long-term goals, a 20-40 story bank, a rewritten resume, a school-level research playbook and a shortlist of no more than seven schools chosen for fit, not brand.

   You do

   the raw thinking, the story recall, the alumni conversations.

   I do

   the structure, the tests, the pushback, the research framework.

   Time from you6–8 hours per week.

   Clears whenYour goals, narrative, resume and shortlist hang together as one argument a stranger could summarise in a sentence.
2. 02

   every draft, every rewrite. I don't ghostwrite. Brief and follow up with your recommenders.
