What’s the best business school you can get into?

The key to any kind of consulting engagement – admissions consulting or otherwise – comes down to strategy. We spend time here. We collect as much information as we can, drawing on experience and knowing where to look, asking the right questions, pulling on the right threads. We then carefully consider the end goals (short-term as well as long-term) and within that context, develop a battle plan that is pragmatic and most likely to deliver results.

We don’t just look at essays and edit them. First, we develop a vision for what the themes and arguments and desired emotional response needs to be. Then we rip the essays apart and set course to rebuild by employing (1) heavy-handed feedback, (2) detailed analysis, and (3) light-handed guidance to equip clients with actionable feedback and roadmaps to author new and improved versions in their authentic voice. This requires a masterful combination of high-level direction from our consultants and professional-grade editing talent from our essay specialists.

The pieces – all the pieces – need to stitch together to form a coherent story. The clearer the story, the easier it is to picture your future success. We include support on all the elements outside of essays, including:

• Resume Support
• Letters of Recommendation
• Interview Prep
• Waitlist Support
• Deferral / Post-Decision Support

For that ultra premium treatment, we turn over every stone to extract as much value as possible. Not everyone needs these elements in order to have a fruitful engagement, but for those with neither time nor budget limitations, these extras can provide an insurance policy:

• The M7 Insider Audit™
• The Admissions Committee Simulator
• Premium Interview Prep

We answer questions and provide support on topics that extend beyond the support that is already included in the Discovery phase, as well as the Essay Analysis and Feedback phase. Based on decades of experience, we include a handful of hours of email support (over the lifetime of the service) to cover all major needs and concerns. Additional hours are available for purchase for individual with correspondence needs that extend beyond the typical engagement, but are rarely necessary. We have developed this general rule around semi-limited hours to help ensure that our time together is focused and yields maximum impact.

For Gold and Platinum clients, you have all the phone access to your consultant you’ll need. Correction, a reasonable person who understands boundaries has all the phone access they will ever need (and then some). For 99.99% of our clients, this ends up making intuitive sense, and the total phone time falls within a beautifully consistent expected range of calls and hours. Most humans are good, yay! And yet. There exists the .01% (a non-zero number), where the expectation is that we function like an on-demand, on-call operating service. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’re not your firm. (No professional firm that is experienced and worth its salt will [need to] avail their time in an unlimited capacity.) At the end of the day, we’ve got your back, we are there for you absolutely whenever you need. But also, don’t be an abusive, entitled nit. We cool?
