Upgrade
Hourly consulting is a great way to get started.  If you aren’t sure about working with us in a Complete or Royal application package, you could start here and apply your first 4 hours toward a package.  If you are happy working with us on an hourly basis but you’d like to add a few more meetings, that’s ok too.

You can also add additional meetings to your Essential or Complete, have an extra mock interview or talk to us about a project. We leave the details up to you.

Hourly Consulting FAQ

Is there a minimum number of hours that I must buy?

We typically request a 4 hour minimum for new clients as this allows us to spend a few meetings with you to work on developing essays, preparing for interviews, or helping you make changes to the documents that we review.  If you have a request that is really, really small, we might consider starting with smaller amount of time, but in most cases we stick to this rule.

If you are an existing client and you want to spend more time with a consultant, you can add services 1 hour at a time.

How do you measure the billable time?

In most cases, you’ll set up meetings with a consultant that last 1 hour each, but it is possible to have meetings of 1.5 or 2 hours.  We avoid very short meetings, phone calls, and such when it comes to our Hourly consulting, so if you would feel more comfortable have access to a consultant by email, telephone and skype throughout the application process, you might prefer working with us using our Complete and Royal services.   Also, we don’t charge by the minute, so if you set up a meeting with a consultant that ends a few minutes before or after the hour, we still consider it to be 1 hour.

Can Hourly Consulting be applied to essay editing?

Yes, but not exactly.  If you are interested in ONLY having your essays edited, we would prefer to offer you a quote on your project.  It isn’t possible for you to know how much time it takes us to edit, and we can’t really know either until we see your essay drafts or other documents.  Once we can see the work and understand your timeline, we’ll offer you a quote.

How can I get started?

If you haven’t already, you might want to get in touch with us to confirm a first meeting.  Services must be paid before we work with you unless otherwise confirmed, and you can buy Hourly Consulting by clicking on the “Start Now” button at the top of this page that corresponds to the right number of hours.  Following that, you will see a payment cart, then go through Paypal payment processing and finally back to our site where you’ll get information on the next step and how to email us your documents.
