Will I work with one consultant or a team?

Both — with one clear point of accountability.

Every candidate is paired with a lead consultant who owns the relationship, the strategy, and the positioning from intake through decision day. That person is your quarterback. You’re not bouncing between voices or reconciling conflicting opinions about who you are and what your application should say.

Behind the scenes, your consultant works closely with a dedicated essay specialist who focuses on writing at the sentence level. We separate these roles deliberately. By splitting strategy and execution, you get depth on both: strategic thinking that isn’t diluted by line edits, and writing craft that isn’t compromised by someone trying to hold the entire arc in their head at once. This matters especially in med, where the writing workload — personal statement, activity descriptions, ten to twenty secondaries, diversity essays, addenda — is heavier than in any other vertical.

Your primary interaction is always with your lead consultant. The essay specialist’s work happens in concert with that direction, not independently. You won’t receive conflicting feedback or feel like you’re managing multiple relationships. One unified vision, executed by a coordinated team.
