Graduate School Advising
Getting started with Graduate School Advising
Graduate admissions counseling prepares students to pursue an advanced degree in a specialized area. Embarking on graduate school advising requires clarity and foresight. Approaching graduate school advising involves a strategic and well-researched plan. Start by identifying your academic and career goals, prepare a strong statement of purpose, tailored to each program, and gather recommendation letters from professors who can attest to your abilities and potential. Stay organized with application deadlines and requirements, ensuring all components of your application are completed before the deadline. Our advisors will guide and support you throughout the various aspects of the application process to help enhance your profile and ensure success.
Starting early provides ample time to gather necessary documents, craft compelling personal statements, and secure strong letters of recommendation. Guidance from a Greenhaus advisor will allow students to educate themselves about the graduate admissions process and provide students with the expertise and support needed to make informed decisions. This proactive approach not only reduces stress but also significantly enhances the chances of acceptance into desired programs.
Our consultants bring specialized knowledge about program majors, application strategies, personal statement refinement, and interview preparation, offering personalized guidance to navigate competitive graduate school admissions. We assist students with graduate admissions to law school, social work, psychology, and MFT programs, as well as a variety of liberal arts programs and majors.

Law School Advising
Our law school advising services focus on the personal writing statement, resume preparation, diversity statement, and the overall application. Students come to us with an idea of where they want to apply in terms of location and selectivity, and we assist them by helping them balance their overall list of schools, including target schools and backups. We then move on to the personal statement by brainstorming for topics, writing an outline, and then providing editing services in between meetings.
