“Working with Dr. Barr has offered me knowledge I will take with me far beyond the simple aspects of the graduate application and admission process. Ultimately, thanks to his thorough, honest, and dedicated mentorship, I was not only accepted to various top-level programs in my field (UCLA among them), but I have become a stronger writer and thinker overall. Investing in his guidance has already yielded invaluable return—not only because I made it into my top-choice program, but because I know I will prove a stronger academic thanks to our work together. What I most admire in his approach is his encouraging attitude, but also that his congratulations for a job well done are sincere when he offers them. Anyone who seeks a coach with vast understanding and knowledge of the admissions process and how to navigate it should choose to work with Dr. Barr without hesitation. But know that his mentorship will equip you with tools as a writer and thinker that will serve you long after the application season is finished. I could not have made a better choice than to work with him. Thank you for all the support, Dr. Barr.” —PhD in Spanish Studies, UCLA
