Michael is truly an exceptional coach. From the start, he was supportive, insightful, and structured. His ability to guide me on what the Schwarzman Scholars Program looks for, while keeping my application authentic, was the winning recipe. Thanks to his coaching, I was accepted into the program. If you are looking for someone who can help bring your application to life, work with Michael!

Tim helped me so much as I prepped for MBA interviews. I came in to our mock interview pretty stressed and he helped me focus on exactly what I needed to do to tighten up my narrative. I feel so much more prepared and super grateful to have met with him!

Claudia helped me with mock interview prep on very short notice and I felt much more confident for my interview

Avi is an outstanding GRE tutor. He completely reframed my approach to the test, helping me tackle it from a fresh perspective. After months of studying and taking the GRE three times without improving my score, I saw a 12-point increase (6 points in Quant and 6 in Verbal) after just three weeks of working with Avi. His specific GRE strategies were incredibly effective. He broke the test down into manageable tasks and gave me the confidence I needed going into test day. The value is definitely there and my only regret is not reaching out to him sooner. I can’t recommend him enough!

I worked with James to bring my story to life in my essays. He provided insightful advice, leveraged his extensive experience, and demonstrated deep knowledge of the topic. His guidance helped me elevate my essays, and I would highly recommend working with him!

Steve was incredibly helpful with essay assistance. I approached him with two specific schools in mind and he provided valuable guidance on both the overall structure and narrative of my essays. Additionally, he offered detailed, line-by-line edits to improve grammar, sentence structure, and flow. His support was immensely helpful and I would highly recommend him!

Vica was incredibly encouraging, candid, and responsive throughout my MBA application journey. She provided thoughtful advice, checked in regularly, and offered unwavering support every step of the way. I especially appreciated how she wasn’t afraid to suggest scrapping an essay draft or pivoting directions when necessary, ensuring my applications were as strong as they could be. Her guidance gave me the confidence to navigate this process with clarity and focus. I’m very grateful for her expertise and support!

I asked Ben to review some of my GSB essays - Ben gave me incredibly honest feedback that showed he genuinely read through my essay, evaluated it critically and gave me tangible things to improve. I later scheduled a mock for my interview, and Ben continued to give relevant feedback that I had not even considered when practicing. If you're on the fence, Ben is a fantastic coach that is well worth the price.

I just had a couple of days remaining until deadline for the round I was aiming to apply. Steven graciously offered to have an early intro call out of his schedule and then later review my profile to leave enough time for me to reflect on his feedback. His feedback was very helpful too, he pointed out the missing links in my packet and gave great suggestions for how I can put them together. In the short timeline he optimized and focussed on things which would help me the most to maximise my chances of getting selected. Overall I had an amazing experience working with him!

Machmud was able to pull out a story about my life I knew in my heart, but had never truly been able to verbalize. I wish I could have had someone like him for undergrad, deferred MBA applications, etc. But thanks to him, I was able to become a Schwarzman Scholar :)
