So far, so good! I've been working remotely via internet and telephone with Ms. Whelan. After researching online different avenues for private coaching in the graduate college admissions process, I inquired if Ms. Whelan would help me with my graduate school application and graduate school scholarship essay. Even though Essay Advantage specializes in undergraduate admissions, she agreed to help me out. She is reasonably priced, polite, and knowledgeable. I chose Essay Advantage because of Ms. Whelan's previous experience working both in an admissions office and on an admissions committee. I'm still in the throes of reworking my essays but they have each done a 180 degree turn! I can't imagine where I would be without Ms. Whelan's input. She did more for my essays than the free service offered by a department at my Alma Mater. My application to a Masters of Public Administration program and it's corresponding departmental merit-based scholarship at a major public university are due very soon, so I'll keep you posted on my results. UPDATE: 4/4/2016: I've been accepted into an MPA program currently ranked #11 in the USA and w/ my emphasis ranked as #7 in the USA. Alright! Woo-hoo! I couldn't have done it w/o Essay Advantage! UPDATE: 6/30/2016: Today, I was awarded a Graduate Scholar Award from my university totaling $4,000. I'll get $1K/semester which covers all the miscellaneous fees. Competition was stiff, so I'm pleased with the award. read more
