How Solomon works
Every consultant uses the same Solomon method. It is built around two ratings that top 20 colleges use: Intellectual vitality and extracurriculars. Consultants help each student pick an academic niche and shape a positioning story. They then make sure essays, recommendation letters, activity sheets, addendums and interviews all support that story. Clients work one-on-one with a consultant, and the team shares advice across the firm.
