Apart of helping me get into my dream MBA program she taught me how to better sell myself. She helped me get the most out of my profile. I am convinced I have sent the best applications I could have done. She showed me how to address to a very specific type of reader: the application team. I could not have done it without her. During that time, I was working for a mining company in the middle of Africa, Jessica\'s support was crucial in never loosing the motivation to go through the painful and challenging MBA application process. She was always available, very fast in answering, always up to go the extra mile, and most importantly always showed confidence in me :)

Applying to business school was very overwhelming for me because I was not coming from a traditional finance/consulting background, and my quant score was mediocre. However, Jessica was excellent at creating an organized a process and making sure every piece of my application was absolutely perfect. What I especially loved about her was that she wasn’t easy on me. She pushed me to think harder about my essay content and reasons for wanting to attend business school. She asked all the right questions to address any holes in my story. She had very honest and straightforward feedback, while still managing to be encouraging. She made sure my essays was clear and compelling as well as stylistically sound.

When I found out that I was on the dreaded waitlist at my top MBA, I felt incredibly overwhelmed, confused and uncertain. Jessica was a total rockstar. From our first conversation, she provided the exact clarity into the waitlist process, advice and encouragement I was looking for. Not only that, she went above and beyond by doing things like putting me in touch with former clients / current students at the school so I could continue to build connections within the program. Thanks to her amazing guidance and help, I’m officially OFF the waitlist at my top MBA! A small investment in Jessica’s waitlist expertise potentially saved me an entire year of angst and energy re-applying. 110% worth it.

Writing essays and strategizing the MBA application process would've been a dreadful and stressful experience without Jessica's expertise! She helped me address weaknesses in my story and application that I wasn't thinking about that could've meant the difference between an admit and a rejection. I was able to get into top M7 schools because of her help, couldn't have done it without her!

If I need to express Jessica in one sentence, I would just say that she is the best consultant ever! I GOT INTO CBS (and received offer from NYU Stern) with a low gmat score (680) and not very high GPA. Actually, I'd worked with one of the consultants in another big company, but that was the worst experience I'd ever had. Thus, when I was looking for a new consultant, I had strict requirements: put lots of attention on each student, is honest, quick, gives positive feedback, has lots of successful experiences with CBS, and respects students' choices on choosing schools. Among many consultants in various companies, Jessica was the only one who fit all these requirements.

I decided to focus on and apply only to my dream school in round 1. Jessica diligently put together timelines and helped to ensure that I stuck to those in our consulting period. I reached out ad hoc numerous times for advice about anything and everything in the MBA process and her advice was always STELLAR. I ultimately got in to the only (top!) school that I applied to. Thanks, Jessica! She was also a pleasure generally to work with as well.

As a re-applicant looking at very competitive schools, I knew I needed someone with the knowledge and experience to help me achieve my MBA dreams. In comes Jessica. From the first conversation, I could tell she was an expert in MBA Admissions. She helped me refine my story, and was able to worked around my busy schedule to hit numerous ambitious R1 deadlines. She is extremely knowledgeable, and her feedback was always insightful and very actionable. Her directness (partnered with tactfulness) and knowledge made my applications much stronger, and was vital in my getting into MIT Sloan and Tuck. I'm so excited to be attending my dream school of MIT Sloan this fall, and I couldn't have done it without her help.

Applying to business school is difficult and stressful. You invest a ton of time for an uncertain outcome. Enter Jessica. Jessica made applying to business school as simple as possible. She laid out a series of steps and a timeline and ensured I followed it, even when work and life got busy. She was very attentive in reviewing my drafts and direct (but encouraging) with her feedback. I heard today that I was admitted to Tuck, and I would not have been able to do it without her.

Jessica went above and beyond to support me throughout my application journey. From helping me create a list of target schools (and supporting me every time I changed my mind) to helping me craft my story, she was there 100%. I was a bit of an emotional wreck from time to time, but she still had my back. To anyone wondering whether an admissions consultant is right for you - don't hesitate to partner with Jessica. Even for the most qualified of applicants the process takes its toll, and having a strong support system can be immensely helpful. Jessica, thank you for all your help throughout these many months! I'm Haas-bound!

I started the application process for 2018 R2 late in the cycle and felt I was very underprepared. Throughout the engagement, Jessica was extremely diligent, thorough and direct in her approach. Her feedback was invaluable in helping me bringing out my best stories and building a tight narrative. I was delighted when I was accepted at my top choice (Yale SOM) with a merit scholarship. Working with Jessica was hands down the best decision I made in this successful journey and I strongly recommend her to all applicants who are looking for a brilliant, no- nonsense consultant
