I am an Engineer who pivoted into Product. I am currently at the interview stage with CBS for their Executive MBA program. [I will update with a decision], but let me share how I got here. I began the journey to applying for Columbia Business School with pretty firm clarity about who I am and what I want to do to add value to the world I live in. However, I continued to attend sessions and ran into a free session with Victoria, who spoke about ways to strengthen our applications. I decided to book her services because I had just finished writing my essays and wanted a professional coach to review them before I hit "submit." To say that Victoria helped me see sides of myself and my journey that I didn't realize is an understatement. She is brilliant, incredibly sharp, so empathetic and full of wisdom and encouragement that can ONLY come from someone who CARES DEEPLY about my success. The feedback she gave me on my essays gave me more clarity and made me even more confident to finally hit "submit". So I did. And a few days later, I received the request from CBS to interview me for the EMBA program. So I booked her again! She is simply fantastic and knows EXACTLY what she is doing. I had my call this morning and left refreshed! I am awaiting a decision but no matter the outcome, I am so grateful I met Victoria on this journey. What a Coach! What a Journey!

Am a non traditional student, and Jeremie really helped me figure out what to focus in my essays. Was super helpful during the whole editing process, and guided me through interview prep as well. He responds really quick as well, and is easy to get in touch with! So worth it!

Connor was super supportive in the entire recruiting process! I would definitely go with him since he's extremely knowledgeable and does amazing behavioral mocks.

She is professional, knowledgeable, and fun. She made the mock session engaging and insightful, provided detailed and well-thought-out answers, and clearly did her homework. Would recommend 100%!

Working with Cathy on my INSEAD 26D application was an incredible blessing! Her support throughout the entire journey—from identifying my unique strengths and crafting compelling essays, to refining my interview responses—was instrumental. Despite the demands of balancing work, applications, and GMAT prep, Cathy kept me motivated and accountable, always bringing a positive spirit and clear guidance. As an INSEAD alum, her deep knowledge of the school and application process was truly invaluable. I’m so grateful to have had her in my corner, and I would highly recommend Cathy to anyone serious about their MBA goals.

Working with Krysta was truly one of the best decisions I made during my PhD application process. From our very first meeting, she clearly laid out her coaching style, outlined the timeline ahead, and immediately put me at ease by assuring me she’d support me every step of the way. And she absolutely delivered on that promise. Krysta not only provided thoughtful and detailed feedback on every draft of my materials, but she also helped me refine my narrative and communicate my goals in a way that was authentic and compelling. She consistently went above and beyond—whether it was staying past our scheduled time to talk through revisions or checking in before interviews to help calm my nerves. Her expertise in the graduate admissions process is exceptional, and her kindness and encouragement made all the difference during such a stressful time. I can’t imagine having gone through this without her support. I wholeheartedly recommend Krysta to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and truly caring coach.

Working with Cathy was one of the best (and frankly, luckiest) decisions I made during my MBA application process as a nontraditional, early 30s applicant looking for an industry change. Due to my previous job, I had a very short window to prepare for my Round 2 interviews. Cathy patiently and thoroughly helped me refine my pitch, solidify my narrative and my career goals for the short and long term aspects of the MBA track. Cathy was there every step of the way with both support and true, honest feedback to help present my best self, and had a deep well of knowledge about the process. Her positive reassurance and steadfast common sense made sense to me as someone who has been in the workplace for over 10 years now. She truly helped me find the best way to present my work and self. I would not have gotten into my top program (a global top 4 school) without her guidance. I'm incredibly grateful for Cathy and her time and knowledge!

Kiera ran a case with me during our session, providing helpful personalized feedback and valuable insider perspective from her time with BCG. The case itself was very similar to what I saw in my actual interviews. I’d highly recommend working with her.

Alex was an exceptional MBA coach and a key part of my admissions journey. She was always punctual, well-organized, and brought structure to every step of the process. What stood out most was her responsiveness—she was consistently available throughout the week to answer questions and provide thoughtful, timely feedback. Her guidance helped me shape strong, authentic essays and stay on track with deadlines. I’m grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and reliable admissions coach.

She is the best coach I’ve ever had! She is actively engaged and really wants you to succeed. She creates a plan for you on a google doc and lists a framework for you as well. I’ve only had 2 sessions with Yiyang and I’ve learned so much. I can tell she really cares and wants you to actually learn and improve. Out of all the coaches I’ve had she’s definitely the best one and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with product management interviews.
