I’m incredibly grateful to Kerry for her support throughout my MBA application journey. From day one, she brought deep insight, strategic guidance, and a calm, reassuring presence to the process. Kerry is exceptionally knowledgeable about every school I applied to—she seemed to know the nuances of each program inside and out, and she helped me tailor my story in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. Her feedback was always thoughtful, specific, and actionable, and she pushed me to dig deeper and present the strongest possible version of myself. Thanks to her mentorship, I got into Wharton! If you’re applying to business school and want someone in your corner who really gets it, I couldn’t recommend Kerry more highly.

Working with Mennette was phenomenal! I went into the application process a bit overwhelmed, but she really broke down the steps and tailored her advice to my specific needs and goals. She helped me understand and articulate my background effectively in my essays, resume, and interviews, and she helped me craft compelling stories that I never would have thought of without her. Mennette’s background working in admissions really shows, as she has a deep knowledge of admissions, and she provides insights that only someone who has worked in the industry would be able to. Mennette was very available and responsive throughout the whole process, and I don’t think I would have had the success that I did without her help along the way.

I can give faith to the fact that Mennette is an absolutely amazing, top-tier, admissions consultant. Having a diverse background within South America, one of my largest regrets during my application is not having started working with Mennette earlier: I think it’s reasonable to work alone at a very early stage to organize your ideas but I recommend you start working with Mennette relatively early, as I found her guidance to be extremely valuable, especially if you are a not very typical profile. Mennette is awesome both in terms of expertise (LORs, essays, general career narrative, etc.) and execution (availability, empathy, persuasiveness, etc.), and she actually has a deep passion and love for her advisory endeavours. I found her through the Poets&Quants listing (not through a referral) and she couldn’t have been more involved and reliable from day 1. 100% recommend Mennette!!

Mennette was instrumental in helping me get admitted into my two dream programs. I was also waitlisted at another, and probably couldn’t convert, but decided not to pursue. I come from an overly represented background (Asian American in Finance) with average stats (3.3 GPA and 740 GMAT), so it was an uphill battle no matter how you cut it. I also have embarrassingly high targets, and only applied to 4 programs…all M7’s. I spent about two months working on my essays before realizing that I was going nowhere and needed additional help, and am so glad that I chanced onto Mennette. Her background in AdCom was absolutely critical. She helped me bring out certain aspects of my story that I didn’t feel to be significant, but in hindsight and after meeting other admits at Kellogg and Columbia, I now realize why they were crucial to include. Moreover, her direct and honest feedback was exactly what I needed to tell my story and to make it effective. She’s tough and has high standards, but she won’t quit on you no matter how many edits you need or how busy she becomes. For what it’s worth, I also referred Mennette to one of my best friends, who was also admitted to the top school of his choice. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Mennette was referred to me by two veteran friends who found success through her. She was extremely helpful in so many ways as a lost, confused Army Officer. Mennette helped me solidify my goals, create my story, translate military jargon, and most importantly, she kept me on track! Thanks to Mennette, I will be attending Owen with a full scholarship AND a 30k scholarship. On top of my GI Bill, I’ll be getting paid to go to school!!! Easily the best money I ever invested, and she gives a military discount!

Choosing Mennette as an admission consultant was the best decision I made throughout the MBA application process. Mennette took the time to understand my story, gave me honest and raw feedback, and always responded with suggested edits and comments to my essays within hours. My test scores were below average, so I didn’t feel very confident going in, but Mennette was extremely diligent in helping me craft a unique story that wouldn't let my scores get in the way. Without Mennette, I certainly wouldn’t have gotten the acceptances and scholarships that I did! Absolutely worth it.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mennette. She was very responsive and provided very honest feedback, clear communication, and effective support during the application process. Mennette guided me along a self reflecting journey and pushed me to delve further into my personal and professional experiences. We went through numerous drafts into a single essay, simply because the essay had yet to reach its full potential to fully reflect me as an applicant and to standout. Mennette had the highest attentiveness to her work and willingness to see everything through hand in hand with me. I developed a partnership in which we could trust each other to be focused and working together towards a clear common objective, i.e. to give me the best chance of admission at the best schools. I recommend her highly to anyone who is willing to put in the work.

Working with Mennette was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. She was always candid with me about my strengths and weaknesses and worked diligently to ensure I was putting my best self forward in the applications. What I appreciated most about working with Mennette was her willingness to have multiple, sometimes difficult, conversations to ensure the finished product was as polished as possible. The introspection required during the process can be difficult, and I appreciate her encouragement along the way. I can confidently say I would not have had such a robust application without her guidance. Mennette, thanks again for helping me achieve a dream.

I would absolutely recommend working with Mennette. From my very first conversation with her, the experience felt very personalized. She helped me identify which schools would be a good fit and challenged me to dive deep and truly understand what I was hoping to gain out of business school. Mennette brought a wealth of knowledge about the MBA process in general, as well as specific details about each school’s unique offerings and culture. In reviewing materials, she always provided an honest and thoughtful perspective. She was also a great accountability partner who kept me on track while juggling multiple applications. After working with Mennette, I felt incredibly proud of the materials I submitted and knew that she had helped me put my best foot forward!

1. Makes the complex feel simple Kamna has a rare gift for clarity. Whether we were talking through academic choices or tricky real-life decisions, she always broke things down in a way that made it easier to understand and act on. Her questions pushed me to reflect more deeply, and I always left our conversations with a clearer sense of direction. 2. Strategic, thoughtful, and clear-headed One of Kamna’s biggest strengths is her ability to help you organize your thinking. She’s incredibly sharp and has a knack for drawing connections that aren’t obvious at first. Whether it was career planning, navigating uncertainty, or preparing for structured discussions like interviews or case formats, she always brought a strategic lens that helped me feel prepared and confident. 3. Supportive and grounded in high-pressure moments What I appreciated most was Kamna’s calm presence. She’s the kind of person who listens closely, never makes you feel rushed, and knows exactly when to challenge you and when to reassure you. During stressful decision points, she helped me stay focused, grounded, and confident — and I couldn’t have asked for a better coach in those moments.
