Valuable Guidance

I had some reservations about working with an admissions consultant. I spoke with a few friends and all had mentioned Stacy Blackman consulting.

At first, I reviewed the blog which is a great resource for essay tips. I then took a 30-minute call with a Principal of the company. I remember wrapping up that call in amazement. I could not believe how much we covered in such a short time. It was an eye-opening experience.

It was August, so I felt like I was a little late in the game. I had a limited budget so I opted for the Hourly Services. Sarah ensured that we maximized the time we had together. She proved most valuable in helping me craft my story. Her questions uncovered great examples from my past that I would have otherwise overlooked. The strategy document that she put together helped me lock down my target schools and what strengths I would highlight.

What made the difference to me was that I truly felt Sarah was my coach. She supported me every step of the way with great encouragement. She understood the coaching style that I would best respond to and executed it to perfection. I can't imagine putting my essays together without her guidance.

Even if you're not willing to splash the cash for the comprehensive services, I found value in working with her on an hourly basis.
