I have no questions left in the queue. Andy and Bill, do you have any suggestions for those who are planning to apply to schools this year?


Nikil - I think it is always useful to work with a coach who can help formulate an admissions strategy, identify schools and help candidates tell "their story." We at Fortuna do this all the time and would be happy to discuss candidates in more detail at https://fortunaadmissions.com/free_consult/

Yes I agree with Bill, a coach can tell your story better than you can tell your own story. Contact Fortuna and submit your profile, you can have a 30 minute free consultation. https://www.fortunaadmissions.com
