*Please Note: The number of hours shown for each package is an estimate only. The actual number of hours will depend on several variables, including the quality of the materials you provide your consultant, the number of required essays in a school’s application package, the number of drafts you need reviewed, and other factors. Therefore, additional hours may be needed to complete your engagement. Fixed-fee school packages are a better alternative for applicants who need extensive support.
