Tips For Hiring A Graduate School Admissions Consultant

By Michelle Ward


In this day and age, an undergrad degree is barely enough to cut it in the job market. There is a need for more. A need to stand out. A need to bring more to the table than just the regular. However, one wrong move can earn one a rejection letter from the most preferred program. Why gamble? Why purport to be perfectly capable without a graduate school admissions consultant?

The thing with the interviews is that one may be unable to read the faces in the panel. Therefore, one leaves the interview room feeling great. They will be heartbroken later to be rejected by yet another program. The coach will give one tip to ensure the interview actually goes great. Some may choose to get books, as they are a cheaper way to get advice. The books, while, wonderful, do not tailor the advice to the specific situations. They give general advice. They might also be a little difficult to implement.

Before going in for a meeting, one must endeavor to be completely open with this professional. Talk about the strengths. Talk about the weaknesses. Talk openly about the goals. Talk about factors that might threaten eligibility for the program of choice. Even talk about fallback options. Most of all, commit fully to the process. Enjoy this process. Develop an enthusiasm.

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.

After this money can be considered. How much of a financial burden will this service be? Is it really worth it? How well can one afford it? It is always possible to find a good coach within the preferred price range.

One should not go for a coach who is strapped for time. One who is barely ever available to answer a quick question or help do last minute interview prep. It is important to go for someone who will show up when needed.
