Michael's thorough guidance in preparing me for the final interview was instrumental. If it were not for him, I probably would not be a Schwarzman Scholar. He is a kind human and knows where and how to help applicants like me. He was the first person I texted after I received the call from the admissions team, and we even had a quick call. So, all the very best to whoever will read this comment later, and I highly recommend choosing Michael as your coach. He will give his 100% and also bring your 100% to the table.

Emily is the MBA application consultant you want if you’re looking for someone who is cost effective yet provides world-class guidance. Emily helped me on my essays, resume, and school specific application questions. I got into my top MBA school thanks to her. Highly recommend.

I worked with Antoine in preparing for the GSB interview. Antoine was very kind and knowledgeable. What stood out for me was that Antoine was very tough on the mock interviews and very thoughtful on the feedback which helped me prepare for the actual interview enormously. When I had the actual interview, I felt calm and well prepared, nothing unexpected as most of the questions I got I had already covered them with Antoine - helping me feel relaxed and well prepared on the actual interview. Nothing I didn't cover with Antoine previously. I definitely recommend getting Antoine's help for interview prep.

Angela has been incredible to work with. She consistently went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed, always accommodating my schedule and going above and beyond. She’s absolutely worth the price.

Overall, working with Ben was a great experience - I would absolutely recommend him to someone else applying to MBA programs who wants assistance with essay writing. I applied to 6 programs, and he provided detailed feedback and commentary. Given Ben's significant experience working with many clients, he understands what each school is looking for and how to help tailor your essays accordingly. He'll provide straightforward guidance and candid opinions, but it is equally important that the client provides clear communication with Ben so everyone is on the same page. Would recommend using him as a coach as he is a valuable sounding board, alleviated significant stress, and built confidence throughout the process.

Pujan is super smart, making things 100% understandable and thus being efficient. He reads and makes comments in advance to the meeting and communicates extremely efficiently. It has been super helpful especially when I dodn't have much time to put into the application.

Karla was very helpful in helping me curate my pitch, helping me ensure that I hit all the points in the prompt within a minute. I think I did much better during the TBD than I otherwise would have.

If you have an HBS interview coming up, Jonathan is your guy. About half of the questions in my actual interview were exactly the same as the ones he used in our mock session. I would recommend him to anyone preparing for the HBS application and interview. He understands the process first hand and knows exactly what you need to be aware of.

If you're aiming for the top, Claire gets results, full stop. There's no exact formula that gets you into the top schools but working with Claire is as close as you'll get. The results speak for themselves, the thing that stood out to me about working with Claire is her growing client base on who has been successful getting in the top programs, especially in recent years. She's developed an impeccable gauge for what helps applicants stand out and effectively pulls those elements of excellence out of her clients (while having fun too!). My first essay was laughable but working with Claire through 10+ drafts in an structured workplan amongst everything else required for business school applications refined my essays into something that got my foot in the door with every program I applied to. (To be updated based on results) We brainstormed so many different storylines together and her ability to pull on threads, break down themes, and resynthesize emotional narratives took my essays to the next level. I spoke with multiple perspective coaches and ended up selecting Claire after chatting with her past clients. I am happy to provide a similar positive reference for anyone else in a high pressure job with limited time and energy to dedicate towards business school applications but also aiming high. I certainly could not have put together as comprehensive and strong of an application without her help. One of the underrated aspects about working with her is how fun and friendly she is as well. She was flexible with schedules and easy to work with over text / async during an incredibly busy time. She also happened to have a fun new background in a different part of the world on each call. Applications are stressful and working Claire made it fun every step of the way, I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about achieving their goals.

Eugene was everything I could’ve asked for. He helped not just with my essays, but with finding a story that tied my whole application together. He had a great sense for what made my experiences connect and how to make that come through naturally in my writing. His feedback was thoughtful, easy to apply, and always left me feeling clearer and more confident about my application.
