  • Highly recommended!

    Dione was pivotal throughout my Columbia application process. She helped me organize my thoughts, sharpen my story, and turn my ideas into clear and compelling essays. Her guidance was thoughtful, practical, and incredibly helpful and she helped me secure a spot at CBS!

  • Very supportive and attentive

    Becky was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive throughout my deferred MBA application process. She tailored each session to my specific circumstances and helped with everything from essays and interview preparation to financial aid concerns. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me secure a deferred admission offer from Columbia Business School, as well as interviews at HBS and Wharton. I highly recommend Becky, especially to anyone navigating the MBA application process for the first time.

  • Can't recommend Chichi enough!

    What made Chichi an outstanding coach was not just her broad & in-depth knowledge of programs, her surgical feedback process or her structured approach to application planning-- it was her encouragement. It was infused into every part of the process. She's a coach who believes in her clients and will support them in achieving their goals!
