  • Amazing storyteller and thoughtful coach

    Vica was wonderful to work with throughout the deferred MBA process!!! She is incredibly kind, an amazing storyteller, and wasn’t afraid to push back when she thought an essay or idea could be stronger. Her feedback helped me build a much stronger personal narrative, and all that pushing got me into Wharton (with a below average GMAT) My only suggestion would be to offer a larger coaching package for applicants applying to four or more schools, as I found myself wanting more time than the current package included. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily recommend working with her!

  • Claire is your Golden Ticket to business school

    Claire was particularly talented at drawing out my personal story, and I credit the workshops and materials she created to help me craft an authentic and competitive application. I couldn't have accomplished my Deferred MBA goals without Claire, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering business school.

  • Interview Prep

    Neal is INCREDIBLE! If you have an interview for MBA, you must take his help. He helped me prepare for my deferred MBA interview, and not only did he ask me similar insightful, pointed questions to what I was asked in my interview, he gave me comprehensive feedback following the format used by interviews. He is extremely knowledgable, detailed, and just a pleasure to work with.
