Fantastic Experience--Great Advisors
I originally went with Spivey because I am a super-splitter in my late 30s, so definitely not a typical candidate. The insider knowledge that the Spivey team provides was wonderful and reassuring throughout the application process, they have experience with everything, so nothing is new to them. More than anything though, Tom Robinson specifically made the package worth it. Here are a few examples of how he helped: -His thoughtful feedback throughout the essay drafting process, information regarding specific schools and their proclivities, ie. when to write which 'why x' essay. -Tom sent me random articles having to do with my essay topic as they came up, not always to use them but because he was genuinely interested. -Tom was able to put me in touch with current students at several of the universities I applied to, so that I could learn more about them. -Tom caught a number formatting issues before I clicked submit on my applications, things I just didn't see. -Tom helped me draft a roster of schools that matched my goals, including safety schools, targets, and reaches. -Tom helped me think through the admissions offers I received, waitlist options, etc. I only worked with Tom, but I get the impression that the rest of the team is similarly qualified and attentive. I would recommend this for anyone that wants peace of mind and excellent counsel.
