I worked with several consultants to prepare for my MBA interviews, and Justin was the most helpful! He helped me understand how to draw on a wider range of my past experiences so I could respond to whatever question got thrown my way, was flexible with my schedule, and greatly increased my confidence walking into my interview. 10/10, highly recommend.

Bryan helped me organize my thoughts and draft my SOP in an impactful way.

Michael helped me throughout my master’s applications. We worked together on two programs, and I ended up being accepted to both. What I appreciated most was that he genuinely cared about helping. He was very responsive, supportive, and thoughtful in his feedback. He took the time to understand my background and goals and helped me think through how to present my story in a clear and authentic way. It never felt transactional or rushed. I always felt like he was invested in the outcome and wanted me to succeed. I’m really glad we worked together and would definitely recommend him to anyone applying to graduate programs.

I had a great experience working with Briana. She was very easy to work with, highly responsive, and always provided feedback quickly. What I appreciated most was her patience in walking through her comments with me one by one, which made the whole process much less stressful. She also drew on her own learning experience and strong knowledge of the school to give me very specific and practical guidance for my interview preparation. Her advice felt thoughtful, relevant, and personalized. In addition, her scheduling was very flexible. Even though we were in different time zones, it was still very easy to find times that worked well for both of us. I really appreciated her support throughout the process!!

The entire MBA process is objectively rifled with uncertainty and confusion. It's hard not to get demotivated. I knew I needed someone who would push me and keep me grounded. Jesse did exactly that and more! He and M worked every weekend to ensure I get to the finish line. His response rate was uniquely high (I had sampled other coaches) which helped calm my nerves. The storytelling process they built helped significantly with my application essays and my interviews. If you're someone who needs more than a transactional coach but an emotional support system, you'll be safe going with Jesse and M!

Ash is an amazing coach who truly goes the extra mile. She helped me navigate the essays for Stanford and Columbia, expertly tailoring my 9-year career history into a compelling story. She often shared inputs within hours and her willingness to support me through holiday weekends showed how much she cares about her clients' success. Thanks to her expert narrative building and quick turnarounds, I’ve secured my spot at Columbia for Fall 2026. Her support was the competitive edge I needed.

Working with Tim was one of the most valuable parts of my application process. From our first session, he pushed me to think more deeply about my story, motivations, and goals, helping me articulate ideas that I knew were there but hadn’t fully developed. He was incredibly thoughtful in the brainstorming stage and helped me shape essays that felt authentic while still being strategically strong. Tim’s feedback on my essays was always precise and actionable. Rather than simply editing language, he helped refine the structure, sharpen the narrative, and ensure each essay clearly communicated the “why” behind my experiences and goals. His guidance helped elevate my writing from good to compelling. He was also extremely helpful in interview preparation. We worked through potential questions, refined my responses, and focused on communicating my story confidently and clearly. What stood out most was how invested he was in my success. He challenged my thinking, provided honest feedback, and consistently helped me improve at every stage of the process. I’m incredibly grateful for his support and would strongly recommend him to anyone applying to top MBA or finance programs. Working with Timothy played a meaningful role in my acceptance to MIT, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Working with Debby has been a complete game changer for my graduate school applications. In my previous application cycle, I was accepted to 0 out of 9 programs. After working with Debby, I have been accepted to 8 schools so far - Harvard, UPenn, CMU, Duke, UMich, Johns Hopkins, WashU, and UCSB - across a mix of Engineering and Education programs. What makes Debby exceptional is her rare combination of credibility, honesty, and support. She has a deep understanding of what admissions committees are looking for, but never tries to overwrite your story. Instead, she helps you shape the strongest version of it while making sure your own voice and personality come through clearly. Even her smallest decisions and suggestions made a real difference in how I presented myself, and strengthened my applications. Debby also went above and beyond throughout the process. She was consistently responsive over email, thoughtful in her feedback, and deeply invested in my success. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her guidance, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone applying to graduate school.

I am incredibly grateful to Melanie for her thoughtful guidance and support during my interview preparation. She provided very clear, actionable feedback that helped me structure my answers more effectively and communicate my experiences with greater clarity and precision. Our sessions together were extremely valuable, and I walked away feeling much more confident and prepared for my interview. Thank you again Melanie, for your time and guidance! I truly appreciate your support throughout this process!

I bought a interview prep session ahead of my GSB interview with Mike. It was truly the best money I've spent (maybe ever!). He is incredibly thoughtful in his feedback and highlighted aspects of the GSB that would be difficult to know about as an outsider. He helped me reframe my answers in a way that would be easier for the interviewer to interpret through the lens of the GSB. He also guided me to think more broadly about my leadership and impact. I got the call that I'm accepted to the GSB. I'm grateful for the time he spent with helping me think more broadly about leadership and how I can show up as my best self. Don't hesitate to hire Mike!
