I really enjoyed Chas's "Why Stanford" class. Clear, concise, and just what I needed. We had 2 examples to look at and analyze what is good and not good. Then he provided a structure for this essay. We also had a quick 5 minute brainstorm on the essay. Highly recommend the class, 60 mins well spent.

Stacey was incredibly helpful in reviewing essays for two different MBA applications. She responded quickly to all my requests, provided thorough and contextualized feedback, and helped guide me to understand the key traits that schools were looking for, and how my writing did or did not bring those out. Highly recommend Stacey for those looking to strengthen their essays and overall applications.

Landon was incredibly helpful putting together my Fuqua application. He had great tips and pointers, and was able to provide great information regarding the interview process. He was responsive when I reached out and wanted to schedule a review, and gave feedback in a way that was encouraging and candid.

Roy really cares about his clients. I approached him for last-minute feedback on my apps, and he was super thoughtful in ensuring that his feedback fit my own narrative and various factors that schools index on. Most importantly, I appreciate that he kept checking in with me to make sure that I understood his feedback well and was tracking towards completing the app on time. He also went above and beyond on coaching me about my general career aspirations and how I could achieve them.

Casey gave great feedback on my essays. He really has a good gauge of what "works". Quick turnaround and very open communication. Still waiting on my acceptances, but it's mid/late September and I've gotten 2/5 interviews so far.

Chas was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and helpful throughout multiple parts of the application process including resume support, essay brainstorming and reviews, and overall application strategy. He was available to answer one-off questions, and was very efficient in his timing of reviewing materials. Can't recommend highly enough!

I worked with Arushi on my deferred MBA essays. She is EXTREMELY talented in creative writing, and I highly suggest anyone who wants to revise their essays work with Arushi before turning them in.

I came to Jacob two months prior to submitting my application. He helped guide me through the entire process and helped me find exactly how to express my unique background for top business schools and now my resume, essay, interview skills, and overall application theme are worth their weight in gold. I cannot recommend him enough to any applicants trying to figure out exactly how to tell their story and really make their achievements known to an admissions committee. Additionally, for any veterans looking to apply to business school, Jacob is absolutely your best tool to creating an application that will resonate with any admissions committee. Thank you so much for your time, effort, and professionalism!

I remember expressing just how badly I wanted to go to Booth when I had my first call with Ryan. I was at the point where I was working so hard for it and felt like I'd give my left leg if I had to - luckily Ryan made the admission possible and I got to keep my left leg. We went through every single itsy bitsy detail and he helped me tailor my application for Booth and leave absolutely no stone unturned (believe me there are a lot of 'stones' I would not have known about if I hadn't worked with Ryan). The greatest feeling came after turning my application in and finishing interviews - I knew that regardless of the outcome I had done literally everything possible to make a case for myself to the admin including an exhaustive list of extra steps that aren't necessarily apart of the application process. I felt at peace with whatever the result was, and eventually ecstatic when I got into Booth. I felt like Ryan was my Sherpa helping me hike my own small Everest as an underdog in the MBA world. I think every element of my application was crucial to getting into all the schools I applied to, and I know that Ryan helped me leverage every facet so I could get the most out of them.

I will always be grateful to Emily for the guidance and feedback she gave me through so many essay drafts, resume bullet points, interview questions, and on and on and on! At first I was really hesitant to pay a premium for a coach where there aren't any guaranteed results, however I gained crucial information and perspectives from Emily that really made the difference in my multi-faceted approach. I approached her hoping that I could get accepted to just one of the schools on my list but ended up with the blessing/curse of options due to her input.
