MALIBU, CA--(Marketwire - February 26, 2009) - While a college degree used to be enough help
someone score a top job in a desirable field, many job candidates now need
a graduate degree to maintain a competitive professional edge as more and
more job opportunities disappear due to the softening economy. To assist
the droves of professionals and graduating college seniors facing dismal
career prospects as a result of "education inflation" -- the increasing
necessity of having a graduate degree to remain a viable candidate for
leading positions --
Veritas Prep
today announced a new service to help prospective students gain admission
into the full spectrum of
graduate programs.
"Education inflation" is generally discussed in terms of the rising cost of
higher education; however, it can also refer to the phenomenon of the
accelerated academic qualifications necessary to secure top jobs. While
this inflation is partially exacerbated by the influx of international
applicants with degree-heavy resumes in an increasingly global economy, the
bottom line is that more and more people are competing for fewer and fewer
positions. A graduate degree can set someone apart from a sea of similar
looking professionals.
"A graduate degree from a leading institution can propel one's job
candidacy from long-shot to competitive, but given the unprecedented
number of applications to the nation's leading grad schools, gaining
admission means fighting an uphill battle," explains Chad Troutwine, CEO
and co-founder of Veritas Prep. "The guidance of an admissions consultant
can help prospective students market themselves effectively to admissions
committees and secure coveted spots despite increasing demand for seats at
graduate schools."
Veritas Prep's team of admissions consultants are experts in the graduate
school application process for nearly every type of program, ranging from
architecture to nursing to public policy. As opposed to general,
one-size-fits-all advice, Veritas Prep offers personalized advice from its
skilled consultants, each of whom is a published writer possessing at least
two graduate degrees, on topics including:
-- Overall application strategy
-- Creating powerful essays, resumes, and personal statements
-- Soliciting effective letters of recommendation
Veritas Prep offers a broad range of offerings to support prospective
students in any stage of the grad school application process, from early
mentorship to last-minute assistance. For more information about Veritas
