YOU DO NOT NEED TO SPEND THOUSANDS ON AN ADMISSIONS CONSULTANT. I cannot stress enough how incredibly helpful ApplicantLab was for so good of a price.
• Resume Template – ApplicantLab’s resume template is the most concise, organized, and efficient use of space that I have come across. I had spent multiple unsuccessful weeks looking for a new template to update my resume before signing up for ApplicantLab and nothing came close.
• Essay Breakdown – This is where I spent the majority of my time on the website. Maria breaks down each essay for each school – she puts the essay prompt in the context of the school’s culture and priorities and helps you think from the admissions perspective. It was so so helpful I highly recommend to read through to spark ideas for essays.
• Unique School Info – A lot of what you have to do throughout the admissions process is show why that specific school is the best for you and Maria has so much good information about what makes each program unique that you can incorporate into your essays and interviews.
• Interview prep – She has all sorts of great interview tips and questions typically asked by each of the programs.
Maria was incredibly supportive, responsive, and helpful throughout this process. When I submitted an essay for a final polish edit, she was worried it was a little close to the deadline so she filmed a 20 minute video of her breaking down my essay and providing amazing insights to improve my essay. She goes out of her way, above and beyond. This is an amazing one stop shop that gave me direction throughout the daunting application process and helped me get into my dream schools while saving me thousands!!
