Caitlin was incredible to work with! We focused mostly on my Kellogg essays and two other schools, and her attention to detail was truly unmatched. She really took the time to understand my background and helped me shape my story in a way that felt authentic and strong. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone applying to MBA programs1

Working with Antoine is like a dream. His knowledge of Stanford and their selection process is extensive and unparalleled. Moreover, Antoine was extremely supportive and understanding when I faced setbacks or busy periods during the application process. If I was unsure what to do next, Antoine was always eager to jump on a call and coach me back on track. Thank you so much Antoine, I hope to meet you in the bay area very soon! :)

My experience with Matt has been phenomenal and I can't recommend him enough to others taking on the daunting MBA application process. At the beginning, I was unsure of the stories I would tell in my essays and what my "why an MBA?" narrative would be. Fast forward to now, and I couldn't be happier with the ~13 essays Matt helped me craft. He has a natural talent for writing that proved invaluable as we worked through my essays together. His insight and expertise really brought them to life, and the final products were leaps and bounds better than anything I could have put together on my own. Having Matt on your team will bring an immense amount of peace of mind and confidence. Matt is especially outstanding for veterans. We often struggle to figure out our personal brand and push past the imposter syndrome that comes from underestimating what we accomplished in uniform. Matt's ability to pull out those experiences and frame them in a way that will resonate with the adcoms is second to none. If you're a vet - look no further. Matt is the coach you want!

Working with Karla was an incredible experience. She was intentional about getting to know my story to help me position myself as a unique candidate and highlight my strengths in an authentic way. Her support gave me the confidence to apply with greater conviction. She was an amazing thought partner and a strong advocate for me throughout the process. I couldn't recommend her enough!! Seriously!!!

Melissa was super helpful in providing some last minute feedback on one of my grad school essays. I'm applying to MFT programs and she share prompt feedback, communicated timing of her availability, and made suggestions that definitely made my essays flow better! Would definitely use her again.

I am a transitioning veteran from the Army, and I was advised that getting an MBA consultant would be the best course of action for someone who was worried about their test scores/GPA and had to manage competing priorities at work on top of applications…which I was. Leland is the gold standard as far as consulting agencies go and Claudia is no exception to that rule. She will provide you with expert advice matched with candid feedback where it is needed. As veterans we often have difficulty translating our service; all the more reason to hire someone who is not affiliated with the military. She is able to take the most important aspects of your career and highlight them in a way that admissions committees value. Claudia and I worked together for months to tailor my application to Duke School of Business (Fuqua), and I am happy to say I was accepted in Round One. Claudia has a deep connection with Fuqua from her time as an Admissions Fellow and she knows what the Admissions Committee values in an applicant. In addition to the valuable consultation, Claudia is there for you. She is in your corner and supports you every step of the way. Every time I had GRE/GMAT/EA, Claudia was one of the first “good luck” texts I received that day. She is invested in you and wants you to be successful. If I could recommend anyone to a person going through military to MBA transition, it would be Claudia.

Being matched with Tim is the greatest gift I could have hoped for. Tim is so inquisitive, knowledgeable, friendly, and experienced. From the first moment we spoke on our intro call, I knew that Tim understood my goals and was already thinking about how best to help me strategize for my success. I'll never forget this; after being matched with several coaches, I felt that some of them did not fully believe in me as a candidate for the goals I had. When I first spoke to Tim, it was immediately apparent that he believed in me and my potential and knew how to help me unlock it. That gave me the full confidence to choose him as my coach, which was the best decision I could have made. Working with Tim, I gained first-round admission to Tuck, my dream school. I give Tim my strongest recommendation and endorsement as a coach. You will not regret working with Tim!​

Bri was very responsive in helping me meet two Masters application deadlines. She provided coaching on the final push for essay reviews and updating my resume. Having worked for an educational startup and spoken with admissions officers, she has a lot of insight and tips on the admissions process. I would highly recommend her coaching!

We get along since the first call 😄 I think that is fundamental to working toward a shared objective. He believed in my potential from the very beginning. He never made me feel unrealistic; on the contrary, he encouraged me to apply to all the universities I truly wanted and to explore more universities that could fit with what I was looking for. Whenever I had doubts or needed guidance, he was always there with thoughtful advice. Working with him was incredible! His belief in me and in what I could achieve pushed me to fully commit to this journey. I’m deeply grateful, and I truly believe no one else could have supported me better than him 🙌🏻

I worked with Jorge on my essays, and he was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and thorough. He really helped bring out my voice and strengthen my story. He was always responsive and fast, and his experience with MBA applications truly shows. I couldn’t recommend him more for all your application needs!!
