One complaint I’ve always had about admissions consultants is that they can sometimes be too vague with their guidance. This is understandable given that they must cater to a large audience whom may be applying to a number of different schools. However, with a new webinar series, the admissions consultants now have a chance to prove their mettle and offer you specific, practical advice without you having to pay a dime.
Beat the GMAT is currently sponsoring a unique webinar series regarding admission essays. Unlike many of the webinars offered thus far, this series will focus on individual schools and each of their specific questions. This is a great opportunity for anyone applying to the schools below and looking for specific advice on essay questions they actually must answer.
Even if your schools aren’t on here, I think attending a variety of these sessions, sponsored by different admissions consulting firms, would be a good way to prep for your essays. Often all the schools are really asking the same questions, but each in its own way.
You can sign up for each of the sessions through this link.
