How quickly do consultants turn around edits and feedback?

Outline reviews are typically returned within 48 hours. Final narrative edits require up to 96 hours. Turnaround times for other deliverables vary by phase, but our standard is to respond to email questions within 24 hours throughout the engagement.

These timelines are set deliberately. We prioritize accuracy and judgment over speed for its own sake. A rushed edit that overlooks a structural issue is not efficient; it simply creates additional revision cycles. This is particularly relevant during peak application season, when multiple schools are in play simultaneously and the temptation to accelerate at the expense of quality is highest.

While a deliverable is under review, clients are encouraged to continue advancing other components of the application—supplemental essays for subsequent schools, activity list refinements, or recommendation strategy. For multi-year engagements, pacing is more flexible during developmental phases and tightens as application deadlines approach. The process is designed to maintain momentum without sacrificing quality at any stage.
