School Package Pricing
Tyler works on a retainer basis with a select group of eight to ten clients each application round in order to ensure optimal availability and exceptional focus on his clients. The retainer secures Tyler’s services for a specific application Round. The retainer fee increases as seats for that Round are purchased, so sign up early to secure the best available engagement pricing.
A per-school charge is added for each school named in the package. Harvard and Stanford applications require additional strategic planning, essay development, and interview preparation; therefore, an additional per-school fee applies.
