Ben was fantastic - relatable and able to very concisely break down the elements of how to approach GSB's prompts as well as several sample essays he showed on screen as part of his class materials. It was great to be able to see and break down several essays live.

I worked with Geri to review and polish my HBS app before submitting it. I am SO glad I did. She helped me adjust a critical essay and a few application sections to ensure my goals at HBS were crystal clear. I am convinced this was the polish I needed to get to the interview stage. I had incredible peace of mind knowing she took my app from 90% perfect to 100% perfect--and that peace of mind was worth every penny.

My meeting with Jasper was absolutely stellar. From the second I got on the call to the second I left, he gave me the type of feedback that I couldn't have gotten anywhere else. His knowledge on resumes is insanely vast (like using an 'en' dash for dates), and his advice is downright surgical. When reviewing my personal statement, Jasper helped me with fixing specific spots (pointing out what was effective/ineffective and clearly explaining why) as well as giving me incredibly valuable insight on broader changes in narrative and structure---stuff I would have never figured out on my own. He even helped me develop a completely new idea for a personal statement, which I'm genuinely excited to write out. My favorite part of the meeting was how honest and upfront Jasper was, he was never afraid to give me the truth. I thought that really showed that he cared about my improvement. His advice is exactly what I needed.

Ian went above and beyond to help me put my best foot forward on the Wharton Lauder application. He met with me several times on short notice to hammer out details and provide helpful feedback. Would definitely recommend!

had my resume reviewed by Jake, one of the best consultants at Leland. He provided me with insightful recommendations that are also helpful for my overall application process. I strongly recommend him to those with a finance background, as his industry expertise allows him to craft a more powerful resume, uncover weaknesses, and revise it to be more appealing to the AdComm

Doug was the best coach ever! He's super detail-oriented, encouraging, inspiring, and caring. He supported me not only in the application process but also mentally. He's very responsive and prompt with feedback, and he balances detailed editing with keeping the big picture in mind. I have really enjoyed working with him. I love bouncing off ideas with him and seeing how my essays are improving each time. Doug's help was essential for me to ultimately get into Harvard Business School, Wharton, and Yale. So lucky to have him!

Geri was super helpful as I was looking to focus essays. Not only was her turnaround super fast, but her thoughts were very tactical and focused. Thank you Geri!

I thought my essays were good. My friends and family had provided feedback and I thought I was ready to go....until I met Cathy. She broadened the possibilities of how I could spotlight my strengths, authenticity, and rich experiences to MBA programs. She pushed my thinking in a compassionate, firm, and thoughtful way that was motivating and inspiring. Cathy is knowledgeable about what Admissions Committees are looking for and will help you shape your personal stories to put your best foot forward. If I happen to get into the two schools I applied to, it will be because Cathy helped me SHINE! Thank you so much Cathy!

Working on my application with Michael has been the best experience. Before reaching out to him, I had almost given up applying to grad school however since the start he reassured me and helped me own my story and write an application I felt confident about. First, what stood out was how he made me feel comfortable to share my story. I used to feel so afraid to share my work with others till Michael coached me. He allowed me to articulate myself without rushing and just be myself. I appreciate that he took the time to get to know me and what I have done and used that to give specific suggestions for my application. Secondly, he would compliment my essays nicely and acknowledged my efforts, which motivated me to go on and not give up. But don't get me wrong, he was very thorough in reviewing my work. Third, I loved that he answered all my questions even when I thought they were silly, he would expound more and help me understand. I never for once felt I was alone on the journey. Michael is simply the best.

Alex has a superpower in being concise yet a very effective storyteller! I came in with only about 3 days to spare before submitting my applications but they were more than ready to help me out despite the time crunch. I had a vision of how I wanted my application story and essays to be and Alex helped me bring it to life. I can't recommend her enough, no matter how early or how late (like how I was) you are into your applications, Alex is more than ready to help you out.
