Missy was an outstanding coach throughout my deferred MBA application process! She provided detailed guidance every step of the way (narrative, essays, letters of rec, etc.) and always gave meaningful feedback on deliverables. Missy was very supportive, communicative, and personable - couldn't recommend her more!

Smita was very accommodating in scheduling a mock when I needed last-minute interview prep for HBS. She was well-prepared with interview questions that modeled the real interview well. Highly recommend!

I worked with Kerry for my 2+2 interview for HBS. Honestly, I was super nervous about the interview and had no idea what to expect, but as a former ad com member, Kerry was so knowledgeable and supportive that she helped me enter the interview with my best self! She was spot on with her feedback, a lot of which helped me improve significantly as I got closer to my actual interview. Kerry was also super helpful with the PIR portion and I felt that she was instrumental with my acceptance! Thank you Kerry :)

Annie was an amazing coach! My main essay came from a deep-dive brainstorming session with Annie where I "vomited" stories and self-reflections, while Annie helped me put them into bigger themes. She was a patient listener, and I felt she understood my stories and what I was trying to convey as a candidate. My biggest wish for the application season is to be able to present who I am in my application essay fully, and it only came true with Annie's incredible help. When I felt like the theme we spent an hour digging still "wasn't it", I told Annie about my hesitation and she spent another hour with me restructuring my storyline, making sure that it's MY story and the story I feel most comfortable telling. If you want to tell your authentic stories (which I think is the key to any admissions), work with Annie!! 10/10 recommend :)

Yash supported me throughout the Deferred MBA application process. His advice kept me on track in meeting deadlines, and goals, and staying focused on top priorities. He was super adaptable to my schedule. I made it out of the process successfully thanks to his valuable coaching!

I had the opportunity to work with Ellen on my personal statement, secondary essays, and multiple interviews, and I couldn't be happier having her as my coach !! She helped me get through the rigorous process with her endless support, while also giving me detailed and realistic feedback on my writing and speaking skills. I genuinely don't think I could've done this without her, especially with me having interviewed with 7 schools and gained 3 acceptances, including my top choice school :D She has not only been my coach but also one of my biggest supporters throughout the past few months, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she's done to help me. I HIGHLY recommend her as your coach, she will be there for you 24/7 ready to address any concerns you have about the whole process !! Thank you again Ellen !!

Ellen has been so helpful throughout my entire application process!! She has always been so kind and knowledgeable through every step of the way. I had no idea what the process was like or what to expect, and she explained it all in a way that allowed me to feel more relaxed and confident. She made my experience so positive and I am so thrilled, thank you again Ellen!!

I worked with Austin on a few of my essays, and he is extremely comprehensive, he was thorough in his revisions, and had a great sense of how to tailor essays to my strengths and highlight growth from my weaknesses. He made sure to remain supportive while still being realistic, which is a balance I feel is very important in a coach. From the beginning I have felt he has been in my corner and done all he can to get me into my top programs. With his help, I was admitted to Sloan, and I cannot recommend him enough.

Allie was fantastic to work with. She was able to transform various ideas and writings of mine into clear, concise essays that highlighted my unique voice. She really pushed me to self-reflect throughout the process, and that made me a better writer. I would recommend working with Allie to anyone applying for an MBA!

Amy delivered a stellar performance in assisting me with my deferred MBA applications. Her speedy response times, strategic narrative building skills, and, above all, patience were instrumental in my successes. I gained admission to half my applicant pool and will be attending UVA Darden's Deferred MBA program in a few years. Thanks Amy!
