Tips For Hiring A Graduate School Admissions Consultant

By Michelle Ward


Getting into a grad program is hard. The process can leave feeling drained and discouraged. It is not easy getting letter after letter saying that one is not good enough despite having all the requirements outlined. However, with a graduate school admissions consultant things can change. The professional can look at how one has been doing it then point out the problems. Usually, it is a very small issue like the essay or the interview. Simple things that can be rectified.

One will learn how to pass the interviews. How to write a winning essay. One will also learn about the best programs with a view to the GPA, financial situation and other considerations. Unlike books that give standard advice, this professional will actually give personalized advised. Advise that will be based on years of experience and vast knowledge of the system.

This coach could be the bridge between a prospective student and a program of their dreams. Be open. Be honest. Lay all the cards on the table. Tell him or her about the strengths and weaknesses. Let the professional device an effective plan for successful enrolment.

Once the wheels have been set in motion, there will be no time to think about what will be affected and how that should be dealt with. One should evaluate these other facets of their life before they make a final decision to apply. Preferably, before they contact the coach. The decision will affect finances. The decision will affect family time. One must be prepared for the mental fatigue that lies ahead.

What are the advantages of being back in school versus the disadvantages? What financial aids are available for this level of study? What is the program of choice or preference? Does the program have the appropriate curriculum? At this point, the evaluation is more about practicality than emotion.

Never judge a coach by how much they judge or how fancy their offices are. Low prices are not an assurance of wasted effort. High-rise office is not guaranteed of the best possible service. Talking to former clients might not provide assurance either but it will get one closer to certainty than the former two. Find feedback and testimonials. Consider the caliber of clients this coach serves. This should give a pretty good idea of capability.

If all is well, then consider the fees. Will be too expensive? What is the pin of going to a particular coach when there is a cheaper one available? What does this coach bring to the field that no one else does?

Finally, attention. How much attention does the coach give the client? How available is he or she to help or answer questions? This is important. The coach is the support system. The support system should remain in place until the process is complete.
