Ph.D. Admissions Consulting

Pursuing your doctorate is one of the most ambitious endeavors one can take in their academic career. It involves countless hours of research and sacrificing time with family, friends, and many activities you enjoy – and it is also rewarding, fulfilling, and a huge accomplishment that helps to develop your critical skills, networking, community, and broader personal and academic goals.

Whether you’re pursuing a Ph.D. in mathematics, biology, systems engineering, health, or any other field, your dedication to your passion will be a return of your investment in multiple career opportunities, higher salaries, and allow you to make a positive impact in society through your work.

Earning a Ph.D. gives you a higher purpose and a structure within which to explore those big questions you’ve been considering, giving you the skills and resilience required to solve complex problems and overcome obstacles along the way. You become aware of your true potential, develop capabilities beyond expectations, and stand out in a career market where graduate degrees and MBAs are becoming more commonplace. It can be a hard road, but one worth taking if you’re up for the challenge.

Being accepted into your Ph.D. program at a top graduate school is one of the first challenges you’ll face. Between GMAT or GRE scores (if required), building your research statement and statement of purpose or short answer questions, choosing your supervisor and committee, and dealing with the prospect of a lengthy, stressful interview, many Ph.D. applicants feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Worst of all – even the most promising Ph.D. candidates with excellent academic records and research documentation are at risk of rejection – and they may never know what they could have done differently to avoid that dreaded rejection letter.

However, gaining admission into top graduate schools is still absolutely possible when you realize one immutable truth:

You can still be accepted into top graduate programs with the right mentorship, coaching, strategy, and guidance, even without the highest GMAT or GRE scores or the highest grades!
