How do I decide which package is right for me?

Start with your school list, not your budget.

If you are applying to a single program — a binding Early Decision option, a specific scholarship opportunity, or a narrowly targeted candidacy — Silver provides the complete methodology for that application. Nothing is abbreviated. You receive the same strategic foundation, essay development process, and consultant access as at any other tier.

If your list spans three to five schools, Gold is typically the right fit. This range covers most candidates applying to competitive programs, and the addition of the T14 Audit™ introduces a meaningful quality-control layer — particularly valuable when the margin between admission and rejection is narrow.

If you are running a broader campaign — eight to ten schools across T14 and strong regional programs, or a mix of reach, target, and scholarship-leverage applications — Platinum supports scale without sacrificing consistency. The Adcom Simulator provides the most rigorous pre-submission stress test we offer, helping ensure that quality does not degrade as volume increases.

Your consultant will discuss package fit during the initial consultation. The recommendation is based on competitive positioning and application strategy, not upselling. If Silver is the right answer, that is what we will recommend.
