An accountability partner is one of the best kept secrets in making the grad school application process bearable. (OK. At least semi-bearable until they invent something to cure the mounting anxiety of “Will I get in or not?”) So let’s suppose you’ve already done the legwork of trying to find an accountability partner and you’re still coming up short in the candidate search.
This is where a grad school coach steps in. If you’re still in school – and especially if you aren’t – it can feel like the proverbial search for a needle in a haystack to find an accountability partner that is serious about taking the grad school admissions journey with you.
The beautiful thing is… there is a solution to your problems. Team up with a grad school coach as your ultimate accountability partner. Some of the benefits of working with a coach:
I’ve been there, done that, and gotten the t-shirt
You can feel free to read more about my personal story here, but I’m not a grad school coach just because I got admitted to someone’s program. It took me three excruciating rides on the Grad School Merry Go Round to finally be admitted to a Ph.D. program. I know what it takes to get into some of the nation’s best graduate programs because I’ve been there – and for better or for worse – learned the ropes through experience. I guide you around the pitfalls and potholes to earning acceptance letters!
No flaking out
You probably already know this – people have an unfortunate tendency to flake out, not follow through, or change their minds, leaving you high and dry when you need them most. How would feel if your accountability partner just up and disappeared one day? You can get a backup or a backup to the backup. OR you can work directly with someone who it is their JOB to be accountable to you throughout the grad school application process.
We will meet regularly at a predetermined interval that works for you. And better yet, a free service by the name of Skype means that we can video chat whenever and wherever is convenient. Also… unlimited email access to ask whatever questions come to mind? Sweet!
