Bria was an absolutely amazing coach! Made it feel like I was the only one on her schedule, while I'm sure she had plenty of other clients, businesses, and students to be working with at the same time. We met in person and she quickly figured out my interview style, encouraging me to STAND rather than sit in interviews (it worked!). She gave helpful deadlines for me to build interview notecards, essay edits and the data visualization. She also helped me get comfortable in uncomfortable situations (making ME choose the answer to questions I'd ask, then she'd give me her advice). AND super affordable compared to other coaches on this platform. Worth every penny!

From start to finish, Kerry is absolutely incredible to work with. She engages at every step of the journey. She is highly responsive, willing to talk through application sticking points, and gets to the heart of what will make your story both compelling and true to you. If you are a candidate with what feels like a "non-traditional" background, Kerry will know exactly how to help your application stand out. 10/10 would recommend working with Kerry!

I had a mock interview session with Jasmine a few days prior to my GSB interview and it made the biggest difference in how my interview went. Jasmine is super organized and challenged me with questions that were really similar to the actual interview. She is also very friendly and engaging, which gave me the positive boost I needed prior to the interview. 10/10 value for money!!

Scott was super knowledgeable about CBS and really wanted me to succeed. He had great tips and was available for questions!

Ferdinand provided a great HBS mock that helped to prepare me. I appreciated the time he spent going through my application and the detailed questions he asked. Highly recommend!

Laura was an invaluable asset to me, from June 2024 to June 2025. I came from a very niche music industry background. Saying I'm a non-traditional candidate would be an understatement. That's why I chose Laura! And, with an undergrad GPA of ~2.8, a sinister case of ADHD, a weak quant background, and applying on the heels of a gap year, the hurdles I faced in my MBA application process were significant. Her strategic expertise was critical in navigating the GMAT/GRE wormhole, ADHD accommodations, and school selection. BUT, where Laura proved most valuable was helping me understand that the things I saw as application *deficits* were in fact, application *distinctions*. I saw things like my age, career background, undergrad institution, etc as negatives... but Laura lead me to the promised land of perceiving those things as the very reasons why a program should accept me. And perception is reality! Beyond core application aspects, Laura supported me throughout the entire admissions cycle, transforming my resume to properly highlight my niche work experience in a way that would make sense to AdComs, offering guidance on communications, recommenders & rec packets, and even a crucial last minute pivot to the Haas EWMBA program. Her responsiveness, empathy, and ability to fit my square peg story into the round holes of the MBA application process, make her an exceptional partner for a non-traditional candidate like myself, and hopefully you too!

Madeline was amazing!! She really knows how to get things done and keeps you super on top of things! She helped to brainstorm my story and was amazing and being detail-oriented. I highly recommend!

Kevin was amazing to work with. He is so positive, empathetic and I could tell a genuine cheerleader for my success. I highly recommend his coaching because he will be able to help work through your story, inject positivity into the journey and is super easy-going!

Rifat was an amazing coach to work with. He takes time to understand your background, story and career goals to piece together a story. He's well versed in the application process and could answer all my questions. I highly recommend him for any school!

Michael was absolutely instrumental in helping me secure an offer from Kellogg. From our very first conversation, he struck the perfect balance between optimism and honesty. He believed in my potential even when I had doubts about certain aspects of my profile. His feedback on my essays was insightful, pragmatic, and always delivered with genuine positivity and encouragement. That combination kept me motivated and focused throughout the process. Michael’s support made a significant difference, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He was not only a fantastic coach but also a true cheerleader all the way!
