Frequently asked questions

The application processes differ significantly. In the US, applicants apply to each university individually, often submit multiple essays or statements of purpose, and typically need GRE or GMAT scores along with 2 to 3 letters of recommendation. In the UK, applications are submitted through the UCAS system for up to five universities using a single personal statement, standardized test scores are less emphasized, and usually only 1 to 2 recommendation letters are required. Deadlines also differ: US programs set their own deadlines well in advance, while UK programs often share a single deadline closer to the start of term. Prepory coaches are experienced with both systems and help applicants navigate the specific requirements of each.

Ideally, one year before your intended application cycle. Starting early gives you time to strategically strengthen your profile, identify the right programs, and develop polished written materials without the pressure of approaching deadlines. Applicants who begin closer to submission can still benefit significantly, particularly with statement of purpose development, program selection, and interview preparation.

Prepory coaches help applicants evaluate programs based on career goals, academic fit, program structure, location, funding opportunities, and admissions competitiveness. With hundreds of master's programs across the US and UK, the right list looks different for every applicant. Your coach will help you research and narrow your options into a balanced list that reflects both your ambitions and your profile.

Applicants can submit their statement of purpose, resume, CV, diversity statement, and all other required supplemental writing materials for comprehensive feedback from Prepory's Writing Specialists. Reviews cover grammar, structure, organization, and content, and are returned within three business days. Written materials can be submitted and resubmitted as many times as needed throughout the program.

One-on-one advising at Prepory consists of 60-minute Zoom sessions between the applicant and their assigned master's admissions coach. Sessions follow a personalized syllabus built around the applicant's target programs, application timeline, and degree focus. Coaches provide guidance on program selection, written materials, recommendation letter strategy, interview preparation, and overall application positioning for both US and UK programs.

Prepory's graduate admissions team includes former admissions officers, NACAC-certified counselors, advanced degree holders, and graduates from top programs including Harvard, Brown, Yale, and Columbia. Applicants are matched with a coach based on their target degree type, academic background, and the coach's area of expertise.
