I started working with Michael pretty late in the game and he showed up and showed out! He was effective in laying out an approach that worked for our timeline and then following through with support and check-ins all the way to the finish line. I'm grateful for his attention to detail and the moral support in a stressful crunch time!

Michael really went above and beyond reviewing my application. His feedback was detailed and super helpful, and he helped me shape my ideas so they actually made sense. Because of him, I feel like I gave this application my best shot.

I hired Michael as a coach for my Schwarzman application. I am so thankful I made this decision, as he transformed my application. Whether it was helping with identifying my story/pitch, editing my resume, collecting recommendation letters, and tweaking short essays, Michael always delivered with professionalism, immense knowledge and skill, punctuality, and genuine empathy. I was confident and proud after submitting my application, and I know I would have felt lost and unsure without Michael's help. Even if I don't become a Schwarzman Scholar, I will still be glad I worked with Michael, as he helped me build my story and know myself, preparing me for future applications and goals.

Skyler was a fantastic partner in MBA application prep. From providing deep feedback on materials to helping draw out my story in more detail, his attention and consideration were high quality and made a huge difference in my confidence and preparedness. In addition, Skyler was well-versed in how social sector professionals can frame their experience in a way that B School adcoms can understand, which is key if you're coming from a non-traditional background! Would highly recommend Skyler to anyone considering MBA coaching - five stars all around.

Michael was fantastic to work with when prepping for Schwarzman Scholars. Was more than willing to hope on a free intro call to give me candid perspective on weather or not I even had a chance. He then supported me every step of the way, even when I feel behind on my own timelines. He comes to the table with feedback that is applicable, and actionable without overwhelming. Really helped me take my scattered thoughts and put them into a coherent story. Haven't heard back yet, as I just submitted, but even if I don't make it into the program I'll be able to take what Michael helped me with and move forward with other opportunities in the future.

Worked with a bunch of consultants and 2 coaches on Leland, Abby by far has been the best in terms of her guidance, her support, her way of doing things. She helped me make my average essays to essays that stand out!!

Bryan is highly professional, efficient, and knowledgeable about the application and admissions process. His insightful feedback has been invaluable in strengthening my application

Geri was instrumental in helping me feel like my R1 business school applications were ready to go. She offers a package to look through your full application the week before the deadline and she gave me valuable feedback that led to important last-minute changes to my app that made me feel confident when I hit submit. Geri was always there with answers, encouragement, and the clarity I needed, even in the 24 hours before the deadline. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Working with Claire for my MBA applications has been an incredible experience. Throughout my application journey there were moments when parts of my essays or materials did not quite sit right with me and Claire was always able to articulate exactly what was missing. She was deeply invested in my success, consistently remembering details across drafts and components, which made the process feel like true thought partnership rather than one way guidance. From both a technical and emotional perspective, having Claire by my side gave me peace of mind. She strikes the perfect balance of honesty and empathy, and I recommend her highly to anyone applying to MBAs or scholarship programs.
