The Method

A structured process. Built around you.

Every engagement follows the same methodology. Every application is treated as if it is the only one we are working on.

Your mentor

You will not work with a consultant. You will work with someone who has lived it.

When you join TAiY, you are paired with a mentor from the TAiY collective. What makes the engagement different is not only who your mentor is, but how they work with you. Every engagement follows a structured sprint methodology, designed around your profile, your target schools, and your timeline. The process adapts to where you are starting from. The rigour does not.

Your mentor was personally admitted to programs like the ones you are targeting. They understand what admissions committees are looking for from the inside. But the methodology they follow was built to translate that knowledge into a process that works for every candidate, regardless of background, timeline, or starting point. Nothing is improvised. Every sprint has a defined objective, a minimum guaranteed call time, and a deliverable you leave with.

Spots are limited. Our mentors are active professionals with finite capacity. We wish we could help everyone, and we will do our very best to serve all those who need it.
The sprints

TAiY works in sprints rather than fixed monthly engagements. Each sprint has a clear deliverable and a minimum guaranteed call time. The pace adapts to your deadlines. The methodology does not.

Early Entry, 3 sprints

Sprint 1: Direction and school list

We map your academic background, your professional experience, and your career ambitions. We assess your profile honestly and identify the programs that represent the strongest fit. You leave with a finalized school list of up to 4 programs and a positioning framework built around your specific story.

Sprint 2: Narrative and strategy

We build your narrative. What makes you different. Why you, why now, why this program. We develop a tailored angle for each school on your list. The essays, the CV, the recommendations all flow from this sprint. Nothing is templated.

Sprint 3: Application and interview

We conduct a comprehensive review of your essays, your CV, and your recommendation strategy. We complete interview preparation together. You submit with confidence and walk into the interview room knowing exactly what to say and why.

Advanced Programs, 4 sprints

Sprint 1: Career map and school list

We go deep on your professional trajectory, your post-program ambitions, and the programs that serve them best. We build a school list of up to 6 programs matched to your profile, your goals, and your realistic positioning in each applicant pool.

Sprint 2: Narrative and school strategy

We develop your core story and tailor the angle for each school on your list. Different programs want different things. We help you give each one exactly what it is looking for without losing the coherence of your overall narrative.

Sprint 3: Application review

A comprehensive pass across your essays, your CV, and your recommendation strategy. We review everything. We push back where needed. We refine until it is right.

Sprint 4: Final review and interview preparation

A final pass before you submit. We catch what you have stopped seeing. Interview preparation completed so you walk into every room ready.

Async support

We do not disappear between sprints.

Between sprints and all the way through to submission, you have direct and unlimited access to your mentor for questions, essay feedback, and gut checks. No ticketing system. No delayed responses. We treat your deadlines like our own.

Who we work with

We exist to make world-class admissions guidance accessible. We work exclusively with candidates applying to the world's most selective programs, whether that is a top MSc or MiM as an early career candidate, or an MBA or MFin as an experienced professional.

You do not pay until we have connected you with your TAiY mentor and you are ready to move forward.

The mentors behind TAiY are full-time consultants, bankers, and entrepreneurs. They are not here for the income. They are here because they remember being in your position and not having access to the support that could have made the difference. That is what keeps the price where it is.

TAiY has offered discounts of up to 35% to candidates whose financial situation did not reflect their potential. If budget is a genuine constraint, please let us know when connecting with us. We will do our best to find a way.
