I worked with Faisal on my deferred MBA applications, and I highly recommend him. He understands the nuances between regular and deferred MBA and gave me very helpful, detailed feedback on my essays. I also really appreciated that he consistently followed up with me to make sure I was staying on track with my essays and applications, especially during a very busy senior year. With his help, I was admitted to 2 of the 3 schools I applied to, and I’m very pleased with how the whole process went.

Claire was awesome throughout the entire process. Her effort, support, and kindness was evident throughout every message, comment, and call we had. I had very little knowledge of the entire deferred MBA process, but Claire brought me up to speed quickly with all the resources I needed to succeed. I owe a lot of the success I had in the process to her!

Ben was amazing! I got started pretty late and had about 5 weeks to work with Ben and submit essays for 7 different schools. Over those 5 weeks, Ben helped me churn through over 70 versions of essays. He really helped turn my writing from mediocre to excellent. Without his guidance and expertise, I seriously doubt I would have gotten any interviews let alone 2 offers.

Cllaire was, without question, one of the best decisions I made throughout my deferred MBA application process. From our first conversation, Claire created an environment where I felt comfortable being completely honest. Working with her never felt transactional; it felt like talking to someone who genuinely wanted to understand who I was. That made an incredibly introspective process feel much more approachable, and I found myself looking forward to every meeting we had. Of course, Claire is incredibly knowledgeable about the admissions process. She guided me through everything from recommendation strategy and essay positioning to interview preparation, always with a clear plan and thoughtful feedback. However, what truly set her apart was the confidence she had in me. At one point, I found myself overthinking every part of my application. Rather than simply reassuring me, Claire took the time to explain exactly why she believed in me as an applicant and as a person. She reminded me that the confidence she had in my application needed to become confidence I had in myself, and that conversation gave me the reassurance I needed to move forward with conviction. I believe this moment perfectly captures who Claire is as a coach. She pushes you to improve while never letting you lose sight of your own potential. What surprised me most was how much our relationship extended beyond admissions. Our conversations evolved into discussions about consulting, career decisions, and navigating professional life more broadly. When I was admitted to HBS's 2+2 Program, Claire called me to celebrate with me. That level of care speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. Claire is an exceptional coach, but more importantly, she’s someone who genuinely invests in the people she works with. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her in my corner, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
