What do MFA programs look for in candidates?
Graduate school candidates come to us with different needs. Some want assistance finding the ideal program to help them pursue a particular passion. Others have questions about standardized testing and financial aid. Whether you have a handful of questions, or want our soup-to-nuts help throughout the application process, Louis Educational Consulting will work with you to develop a personalized admissions strategy.
