CrossDiscipline Admissions Audit Service

A boutique consulting service where subject-matter experts (retired admissions officers, program directors, and recent career-switcher alumni) conduct 1-on-1 deep-dive assessments of a candidate's transcript, work history, and target program, then deliver a written audit identifying specific prerequisite gaps, admission probability, and a 6-12 month preparation roadmap. The service includes a follow-up consultation to discuss results and next steps.

Original Problem

Career changers struggle to justify and execute cross-disciplinary degree transitions without clear guidance

Physics graduates considering economics master's programs face uncertainty about prerequisite gaps, admissions requirements, and whether their background is sufficient—with no clear pathway to evaluate fit or prepare. Current solutions (generic admissions websites, scattered forum advice) fail to provide personalized assessment of transferability and concrete preparation strategies, leaving candidates uncertain about feasibility and wasting time on applications to mismatched programs.
