Meet Kaneisha

I started The Art of Applying® out of my Harvard apartment way back in 2010. Since then, my team and I have helped thousands of grad school hopefuls get into top business schools, policy schools, law schools and other top graduate programs with tens of millions of dollars in scholarship funding.

At The Art of Applying®, we are passionate about working with what we call Wild Card applicants, because I myself was a nontraditional applicant. I was the first generation in my family to get a graduate degree, the daughter of first-generation college grads who grew up as migrant farm workers, and a liberal arts major with no formal work experience in the private sector. I had a strong GPA, but a low GMAT score of 620. I also had undiagnosed ADHD.

Despite the so-called “weaknesses” of my profile, I knew I had what it takes to thrive at Harvard, and I wasn’t going to let my “wild card” status keep me from getting into my dream school.

Once I made my own dreams come true by graduating from Harvard Kennedy School and Harvard Business with Second-Year Honors, I knew I wanted to help other Wild Card applicants make their dreams come true.

Getting into a top grad school with funding—even while not having perfect grades, sky-high test scores, or overwhelmingly impressive work experience—might sound too good to be true, but our clients prove it’s possible year after year.

I’m excited to show you what’s possible for you with our help.

To your success,

Kaneisha & The Art of Applying® team

Hear from our clients

I applied [on my own] to three schools but didn’t get in any of them, including my dream school, which is Harvard. This time around, I just didn’t want to take no for an answer. So, I worked with The Art of Applying. I applied to 10 schools, and so far I interviewed with 7 of them. Of all the places I’ve interviewed, I’ve been offered admissions at six, including my dream school, which is Harvard.

Soltan, admitted to Harvard Business School

I made the decision to apply, to do it in the best possible way and I think it became a little easier knowing that I'm making such a big investment. This investment you're making to work with The Art of Applying® will probably come back to you in double, triple returns and that happened for me.

Surabhi, admitted to Harvard Kennedy School, Columbia SIPA, and U. of Chicago Harris

I knew I needed a little bit more help in terms of crafting my story and getting my voice out there...in a way that I just couldn't be turned down...I knew that on the raw number [alone] it wasn't going to happen.
