We wanted to provide a free and comprehensive guide to getting into graduate school. Since “graduate school” encompasses to many types of programs (Masters, Ph.D., etc.) across so many disciplines, we ended up talking to dozens of professors, admissions committee members, students, and admissions professionals to create this series. It’s exhaustive and detailed, and takes you from the initial question (should I go?) through all he strategies you’ll need to earn admission, and on through selecting from among several programs.
Check it out, and subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you’ll be sure to get all the latest episodes as you prepare for your graduate school admissions process!

Brian's guiding principle is simple: the best essays are the honest ones. He and his team never ghostwrite, plagiarize, or rely on AI — instead, they work to bring out each client's authentic voice and help them tell their own story in the clearest, most compelling way possible.
