Coach With Dr. Kesslyn and Complete Your Doctorate Degree with Confidence
Are you feeling overwhelmed by your doctoral journey and everything that's ahead?
Did you know that only 50% of doctoral pursuers actually graduate with their degree?
Many leave with about $200,000 in school-related debt, feeling lost and isolated.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
The Doctoral Success Program is here to change the game.
However, I Understand the Challenge
Depending on the program, only 1% to 22% of applicants get admitted into doctoral programs. And only 50% of those who get admitted actually graduate!
The Doctoral Success Program supports those who dream of becoming a doctor but don’t know where to start or how to successfully graduate.
