How Admissionado works
Each client follows a six step method. It starts with a deep-dive discovery of background, goals and story. Next comes strategy and structure using proprietary frameworks. Then the team benchmarks the client against the competition with data. After that come rounds of edits on essays, recommendations and the full application. Higher service levels add access to the wider network of experts. The last step covers final submission and interview readiness. A typical engagement runs strategy and planning for 1 to 3 weeks, benchmarking for a few days, essay pre-flight for 1 to 2 weeks, essays for weeks to months, recommendations and resumes for 1 to 3 weeks, and interview prep for 1 to 3 weeks.
