Post-Submission Strategy Package
PRICE: $1,895
Once applications are submitted, the questions keep coming: waitlists, scholarship offers, interviews, and admissions communications. For applicants managing more than one active post-submission issue, this package provides structured support throughout the cycle. Cynthia helps you read each development, decide when and how to respond, and keep your communications across schools consistent.
Includes:
• Up to three school-specific Letters of Continued Interest, one per school.
• One scholarship reconsideration request.
• One 45-minute initial post-submission strategy meeting to assess where things stand, identify priorities, and plan next steps.
• Three 30-minute strategy sessions for waitlist, scholarship, interview, or other post-submission questions throughout the cycle.
• Guidance on admissions correspondence related to waitlists, scholarships, and other post-submission updates.
For support with one specific post-submission matter, see individual services.
Interview Preparation
60 minutes | $245
This service is for applicants who have received an interview invitation or interview style assessment request and want targeted preparation for the format they are facing. Before the session, Cynthia reviews the school, interview format, and relevant application context. The live session may address live interviews, group interview dynamics, recorded assessments, school specific questions, delivery, tone, and how to clearly discuss your background, goals, and interest in the school.
Cynthia has prepared applicants for interviews and interview style assessments at schools including Harvard, Yale, Georgetown, WashU, Baylor, the University of Chicago, and Cornell. She brings that experience to a focused 60-minute session designed to help applicants use a short admissions interview well.
This service includes one live preparation session with school specific question planning, response strategy, practice interview or response practice as appropriate to the format, and feedback on delivery, content, and communication style.
Additional interview preparation sessions may be booked separately.
Letter of Continued Interest
Price: $375
For applicants who have been waitlisted and want to submit a clear, strategically positioned letter while the waitlist remains active.
A letter of continued interest is not a second personal statement, and it is not simply an expression of enthusiasm. A strong letter should provide meaningful updates, demonstrate continued engagement, and give the admissions committee a renewed reason to reconsider your candidacy.
Cynthia works with you to develop a focused, credible letter that reflects your continued interest, highlights relevant updates, and avoids the generic language that often weakens waitlist correspondence.
This service includes a written intake, one school specific letter, and one revision round. Additional letters or revisions may be booked separately.
Scholarship Reconsideration Request
Price: $325
For admitted applicants who have received a scholarship offer and want to make a clear, credible request for reconsideration before committing.
Scholarship reconsideration is not simply asking for more money. It requires a specific, professional request grounded in your current offer, competing offers, admissions profile, and genuine interest in the program. The framing, tone, timing, and specificity of the request all matter.
Cynthia reviews your current offer and any competing offers, then meets with you for a 30 minute live strategy session to discuss approach, framing, and supporting context. You draft the request with Cynthia’s strategic guidance. Cynthia then reviews one draft and provides written feedback before submission.
This service covers one school’s scholarship offer. Each additional school is a separate engagement.
If you want to discuss whether scholarship reconsideration makes sense before booking, you may book an Advising Session first.
