I have gotten amazing support from Yash on my Stanford GSB application! He is very knowledgeable and patient. I learnt a lot and his insights helped me a lot!

Amazing experience with Soley. Very professional. Very useful tips and advice for patient-related interview questions.

From the first consultation call when I was still considering applying to Schwarzman to the minutes right before the submission deadline, Michael was a huge support every step of the way. He's someone that can really help dissect your background and figure out how to best repackage and present your personal narrative on paper, especially as someone familiar with the application process and program itself. Michael is super flexible with whatever your schedule is, which is beyond helpful for someone hopping through timezones or with a very hectic/ spontaneous schedule. As someone who's super used to (and often preferring) to tackling things alone, I can 1000% say that Michael's assistance made a huge difference! Definitely a rock in the storm of application stress and craziness :)

Claire helped me get my Knight-Hennessy application over the line with only days to spare. She gave thoughtful, honest feedback and was super communicative about when she would review materials. Regardless of the outcome, I can confidently say I submitted the best materials possible with Claire's help.

Ivy is an incredible consultant. From the depth of knowledge about the profiles/personality types schools look for, to her ability to draw out your emotional side when story-telling, you will not find better (even if you pay $$$ to the "experienced" consultants!)

Working with Jesse has been an absolutely transformative experience in my MBA journey. His deep understanding of the application process, coupled with his personalized coaching, has elevated my approach to an entirely new level. Jesse is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my success. From refining my essays to perfecting my interview skills, his insights have been invaluable. What sets Jesse apart is his ability to tailor his guidance to my unique strengths and career aspirations, ensuring that my application stands out among a competitive pool. His feedback is always constructive, timely, and geared toward helping me present the best version of myself. He is a true expert at helping candidates craft compelling narratives, and his strategic approach gave me the confidence I needed. Thanks to Jesse’s coaching, I feel fully equipped to navigate the MBA admissions process and excited for what’s to come. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about taking their MBA applications to the next level!

Mike was extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and supportive during my MBA application process. All aspects of his approach - from the initial questionnaire to discussing essay ideas to the final application reviews - were both efficient and helpful. I really enjoyed the process and would recommend Mike to anyone applying to business school!

Did a great job working the stories to their best, and digging deep to find something meaningful.

When I initially learned about the Ellison Scholars program at Oxford, the deadline was already weeks away. I knew that I was going to need help ensuring that my finished product was something that I was proud of and that adequately and accurately reflected my academic and professional experiences. Michael went above and beyond my expectations, not only giving me feedback on essays, resumes, and portfolio content but also explaining how it all fits into the bigger picture and allowing me to decide which way I wanted my story to go. Given the short nature of time that we had, Michael did not miss a beat, his punctuality and dedication were shown in how personable he can be yet remain professional with your best interest at the front. When time is not on your side and you are under pressure, you can either 'burst pipes' or 'make diamonds' and with Michael, he will show you how to 'make diamonds' you didn't even know were possible. I highly recommend Michael for his expert opinion across all avenues!

As an American Alumni of the Schwarzman Program with previous experience in China, Michael was the ideal coach to give me guidance. Despite initial hesitation it was absolutely worth it. Michael proved to be an excellent mentor who gave me the confidence and support needed to tackle the varying components of the application. Additionally, his insights taught me valuable lessons that I will carry with me beyond the application. From storytelling to diluting my interests and creating a compelling narrative. As someone unfamiliar with the American education system, I found Michael’s flexibility, passion, and empathy invaluable. He consistently went above and beyond his role, ensuring I felt reassured and confident in my final submission. I highly recommend Michael as a coach for anyone seeking an American perspective on the Schwarzman application or looking to refine their storytelling skills!
