Had a great experience working with Mario on GSB essays for the full-time program - he's targeted and efficient in his work, very knowledgeable about the school, communicative, and adds much value to the writing process through his comprehensive reviews + insightful feedback.

I first want to say that Jasmine is incredibly supportive. She was available as a helping hand for all questions I had (resume, recs, etc). I have worked with Jasmine on a couple of my essays and interviews. She is super knowledgeable on the application process from end to end, giving me sharp and effective advice that really made me learn how to tell a strong narrative - be it in writing or speaking. I can’t recommend her enough!

Working with Jasmine as my MBA admissions consultant has been an outstanding experience. She provided exceptional support throughout the process, from staying organized to helping me refine my applications. Of all the consultants I've spoken with, I felt like Jasmine in particular really took the time to understand my story and cater it to an MBA application. Her personalized approach made me feel valued and understood. Her responsiveness and clear communication were impressive, and her guidance helped me focus on key aspects and improve my applications. I wholeheartedly recommend Jasmine to anyone seeking dedicated and effective MBA admissions assistance.

Chas is an incredibly hardworking, earnest, and high-integrity individual. The holistic nature of the application makes you feel vulnerable in a way that job searches do not, which makes it even more important to work with someone you can open up to completely. It was apparent to me that I needed to work with Chas immediately after meeting him because I could see that he has a true passion for coaching people and feels invested in each stage of the process. I honestly don't think I would have submitted a single application without Chas's unwavering support. He helped me iterate over 9 different cuts of my applications in a little less than a month and always pushed me to be authentic and true to myself, even when I seriously doubted my own abilities or heard conflicting feedback from others. Chas can help you block out the unnecessary noise and will truly bring out the best in you. You'll be able to tell your story without fear.

Many are familiar with the famous Robert Frost poem the Road Not Taken - which highlights how hindsight, perspective and memories shape the choices and decisions one makes in life. I will argue that while some decisions are so small we do not think about them at all, other choices may feel so large that making a decision all but seems impossible -- and so more often than not we stay the course even if the course means settling, feeling stagnant. For me, one of these monumental choices was deciding which job to take when I was fortunate enough to be presented with two job offers in the same week. While I talked through the options with my partner and friends, I was torn... I felt like I could not make a good decision but yet I could not make a bad decision either.. and so I thought it would be beneficial to discuss with Jessca, given her perspective and prior experience in the corporate setting. In the pre-session prep I shared with Jessica about each job offer -- and what excited me about each. I shared that I had been on this journey for the better part of 9 months...and that I was unsure which "road" I should take. After I had finished sharing about each job opportunity, I fully expected Jessica to offer her opinion on which job I should take based on a set of criteria. Rather than offering me a solution, Jessica offered me a series of questions to help me re-assess how I was thinking about each "road". She helped me understand that my most recent experience (a job I had taken on a leap of faith that had not panned out as I had hoped) was clouding my ability to think rationally about my new options. She also helped me understand what aspects of each job motivated and excited me vs. scared and constrained me. As a result of asking these questions and helping me dig deeper into what I was truly feeling and thinking she helped me then come up with a framework for how to choose between my options. Once we did this, the answer was so clear. It would have been very easy for Jessica to have said.. "take job B". This is the type of role you have been looking for from the start. But she didn't, rather she was able to hear the uncertainty and concern about my "dream role" and in doing so empowered me to figure out how to make the decision (and feel good about it). In doing so she helped me re-frame the decisions I was making and helped equip me with a new tool-kit to use to better understand my goals and values! I look forward to using this new skill set in the weeks, months and years to come, and will definitely be seeking her career guidance in the future!

Working with my MBA admissions coach, Melanie, was an absolute game-changer for my Stanford Business School application. In just one hour, she transformed my approach and set me on a path to success. Her strategic insights were like a roadmap, helping me create a well-structured work plan and a realistic timeline that will keep me on track. Melanie's guidance didn't stop there. She delved into my application essays with precision, providing feedback that elevated my storytelling and made my achievements truly shine. Her deep understanding of the admissions process, coupled with her keen communication and writing skill, made the experience invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to anyone embarking on the MBA admissions journey.

Matt's time and assistance was well worth my time and money.

Fiona Tang's expertise in MBA coaching is truly remarkable, and I owe my admission to Wharton with a substantial fellowship to her guidance. The return on investment from her coaching is easily 10 times what I initially put in. What sets Fiona apart is her exceptional ability to genuinely listen to my individual experiences and then delve deep into my stories. Her approach to tailoring essays for each school is nothing short of impressive. Fiona's skills are unparalleled if you're aiming for a prestigious MBA program and aiming to differentiate yourself through your application essays. Her insights into what admissions committees are seeking and her talent for refining essays make her an invaluable asset. Without a doubt, Fiona Tang is a top-tier coach who yields remarkable results.

It was a pleasure working with Ben, really appreciated his guidance. He was really willing to dig into the content, and meaningfully improved my essays. Based on his feedback, it was clear that Ben is not only an expert writer, but also has great perspective around the B-school application process as a whole. Thanks Ben!

Admission strategy: Fiona was able to help me think through my application plan - which schools to apply to, how many to apply and which rounds based on my timeline and background. That planning upfront helped save me tons of research time and efforts later on. Essay and recommendation letters: Fiona helped me brainstorm the storyline for each essay, particularly helped me build depth to the story I want to tell. She also guided me through the process of selecting the recommender and how to strategize that. Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend!
