[My counselor] has been available from dawn to dusk to go over drafts of my essays, help me develop my applicant file, and answer any questions I may have. Most importantly, her feedback has helped me stay calm and collected throughout the application process. I applied to 12 law schools and have so far heard back positively from nine, including two of my reach schools. I would highly recommend Stratus’s services to anyone who is unsure or nervous about the law school application process.
I contacted Stratus late in the game of my application process. I needed as much help as possible in less than a week’s time before applications were due. Though I had the grades, my LSAT score was just average, and I needed my essays to shine. I spoke with other companies, but in my first conversation with [my counselor], she showed me that she didn’t consider me just a “client,” another application, or a number. She cared about my story, my experiences, [and] what was important to me, and helped me to use those things to craft applications that not only showed schools why I was a unique candidate but that reflected me as a person and showed them why I was a candidate they wanted. Her personal attention didn’t stop there. She was willing to work with me in the short time we had and to work around my crazy schedule. Calls, emails... even while she was at the airport getting ready to board a flight. [She] and Stratus followed up with me after applications were submitted as well to check in. This is the team you want backing you in one of the most stressful times of your life.
I used Stratus Admissions Counseling last year for my MBA application. They assigned a team of four consultants to me. It was a wonderful experience! I got into Wharton—very thankful for the support I got from Stratus.
For the 2020/2021 admissions season, Chicago Booth has made a slight change to one of its application questions. This will help you understand where the program is looking to focus its qualitative attention with respect to the diversity of the applicants for the upcoming year. The school has changed the second long essay to focus less on the flexible course curriculum and professional experience and more on the applicant’s unique experience.

When Francesca Cornelli stepped into her role as Kellogg’s dean in August 2019, she never could have imagined all the changes that have taken place at Kellogg and all over the world in the past year! While she has jumped in to lead Kellogg during these challenging times, the school’s core values have not changed. If anything, Kellogg wants to see even more deeply that applicants are adaptable and demonstrate the high-impact, low ego approach that informs its culture.

It may just be the glory days of MIT Sloan. By sitting in the middle of the booming Boston economy, centered in the emerging world of biotech, leading a movement in sustainability, and sitting one block (yes, really one block) away from Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and more venture capital firms than you can count, MIT Sloan has never been better positioned as a business school.
