FAQs
HOW DOES ONLINE COACHING WORK?
We'll ask lots of questions and for information that's easy to send via email. Then, we synthesize the information, and get started on your program. The service is best for those that are great with checking their email. Depending on the program, we'll also schedule video chat time (think interview prep and strategic counseling). If there are challenges that are greater than words in an email can provide, we'll schedule a phone call or chat/message you.
School selection sessions are a unique blend of online work and video chat sessions. We'll get to know you better, do a ton of research, get it down in a document, and garner your feedback online. Then, we'll video chat with you again to hone in on some final school selections.
Edits are about a 4 business day turnaround, back and forth using track changes. Lots of questions are asked to better get to know you. We read the essays to pull out unique, genuine stories about you. Of course, we also help you clean up grammar and sentence structure. Every word counts when you're limited! Most personal statements take between 4-8 revisions back and forth.

WHY LUCENT AND NOT A TUTORING CENTER?
We specialize in coaching for admissions and career. Our expertise is in personal marketing. We're excellent at what we do and we want to be able to do it for as many people as possible. This means, you're able to fit the coaching and work into your busy schedule without having to drive to a physical space and meet with someone to get the work completed. This also means you're not paying for the overhead of a physical location or compromising with a solution that doesn't specialize in applications.
