Alex was absolutely crucial for me gaining admission to Northwestern Kellogg. He was generous not only with his time but also his network and helped put me on a path where I could see exactly where I wanted to be in five years. I’m grateful for the time he spent with me throughout my application process he was both a friend and a great mentor.

Initially, I was overwhelmed with the MBA application process, since I don’t have a lot of friends or family who’ve gone through it. Esha was incredibly helpful and broke it all down in a way that felt super manageable. I appreciated that she really took the time to get to know me early on and was very encouraging throughout. For everything from questions about where to apply, topics to cover in my essays, piecing together compelling stories, and interview prep, she was very willing to answer questions and jump into the details with me. Ultimately I was admitted to 3 M7s with scholarship and I couldn’t have done it without her!

I signed up for mentorship with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised. Raj really took the time to get to know me and then put together a tailored plan that is so far working really well for me. I really recommend the PM Kickstarter package. An added bonus was the one-year access to Gapsquad courses which on its own has paid back on my investment.

I contacted Raj for help after a 12 month break in my career and found him to be a really thoughtful and pragmatic coach, willing to go the extra mile to help. After 4 sessions, I had a career plan, a shortlist of companies to target, lots of interview practice AND 12 month access to his website which has a lot of really excellent PM courses. Overall, a terrific investment of my time and money.

I've known Manjima for a number of years and she has always been not only an incredibly kind and knowledgeable person but also a very skillful resource for helping craft polished professional applications and personal narratives. In the past, she has helped me put together the portfolios that have gotten me into a masters program as well as the PhD program at the New York University School of Medicine. I prized her ability to holistically view my situation and background and help form a cogent and convincing through-line for my personal statements and extracurriculars that were pivotal towards my success.

Alex was instrumental in helping me get accepted to HBS, MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth, and UMich Ross MBA programs. Additionally having worked with Alex extensively at McKinsey & Co I have seen both his intellectual horse power and interpersonal skills. I vouch fully and without reservation for him in this role.

Ilesh helped me during consulting prep for many consulting firms and his guidance was both candid and effective!

I cased with Alex while I was in my MBA program and he was instrumental to my success. His coaching and mentorship prepared me for consulting interviews and I received offers from both BCG and McKinsey.

Skyler guided me through the application and interview process for the Booth school of business. He was an honest and supportive broker throughout the whole process. He answered my difficult questions, illuminated the process, and pointed me in the right direction for next steps.
