Floriane was incredibly supportive and helpful during my application cycle. She was always so kind and communicative, and made an overall stressful time more manageable <3

I reached out to Ben 2 days before my application submissions with an extremely subpar resume. It needed a complete rework, understanding my background, what makes me stand out and rethinking. Ben managed my expectations of what was possible from his end given that he was supporting his full time clients too. Doing that not only helped ease my stress but also gave me confidence in the output. Needless to say, his rework of my resume was spectacular and ensured to include every relevant point from my experience to showcase a holistic picture. He knew exactly what different AdComs wanted to see and killed it!

I’m so grateful to Karla for her help with my Harvard application submission. She helped me sharpen my message and ensure my application clearly reflected my thought process and what I wanted to communicate. I was accepted to Harvard in record time, and Karla was a key part of that journey. Thank you, Karla, for helping me pursue my dream!

Ben was an incredible coach start to end! He was invested and thoughtful with his feedback on my essays and I felt very confident about my final submissions. Ben helped me level up every aspect of my application and had really helpful input on my letters of rec and resume. And as an extra bonus, I've noticed my writing skills in general have sharpened thanks to working with Ben.

We used Kelly for application and essay reviews for Stanford and other Top 20 schools. She provided very useful suggestions that improved my DC's applications. Highly recommend!

He was incredibly helpful at every step of the process, offering thoughtful and constructive insights throughout. His guidance made a real difference, and I genuinely don’t think I would have been able to do it without him.

I still remember my first intro call with Kerry. I was in a rough place at work, not getting promoted on the timeline I expected, and preparing to move back to my home country after my H1B visa wasn’t selected (If you know, you know) Despite my strong background, a few other coaches I spoke with told me my profile was weak and that I wouldn’t get into my dream school. Kerry was different. She told me I had a real shot, not to make me feel better, but because she was clear about where I needed to put in the work and where I was already strong. What stood out most was how empathetic she was. I was feeling pretty low on confidence because of everything going on, and she really understood that. By the end of the call, I felt like I had just had a therapy session. I felt so seen and heard. But she is not just empathetic. I’m extremely type A and spoke with at least 10 coaches before choosing her, since this was a big investment for me. Kerry was the only one who truly felt qualified. She spent seven years as an HBS admissions committee member, earned her own MBA, and has years of coaching experience. I also appreciated that she has worked outside of admissions. She understands the corporate world, industries, and functions, and knows how to connect pre-MBA experience with post-MBA goals. She brings a full 360-degree perspective that is hard to find. From narrative brainstorming and essay edits to interview prep, recommender guidance, and even the smallest details in the application forms, Kerry supported me every step of the way. She worked around our time difference and was always available when I needed her. Working with Kerry was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I got into my dream school with a $70K scholarship, which still feels surreal. I’m incredibly grateful. Thank you, Kerry. I hope others get to experience the same kind of support and guidance she brings. I’m happy to chat one-on-one if you want to hear more. I’d prefer to stay anonymous here, so feel free to ask Kerry to connect us.

I worked with Faisal on the Final Application Review package and found his feedback very practical and clear. He pointed out specific weaknesses in my essays, recommendations and profile as a whole, suggested concrete ways to reframe my energy experience and helped tighten my writing so my messages landed better. His thorough adcom assessment of my profile as a whole gave me so much assurances that my profile could compete at top schools and kept me focused. Thanks to his support I was admitted to both LBS and Chicago Booth. I really recommend him to anyone looking for straightforward, actionable advice.

Couldn't get a better coach than Arthur! Very invested in my development and help me navigate a lot of anxieties during my interview prep for Sloan.

Kiera was awesome in helping me prepare for my HBS interview. I got in!! She adapted well to my prep needs and pushed me to improve the tone and content of my answers. Kiera has a strong storytelling sense that helped me bring out my core themes. I would recommend working with Kiera to anyone applying to HBS and other schools.
