Oren was very helpful throughout my NYU Stern application. He was very detailed and meticulous when it came to my essays. He helped me earn admission and a very large scholarship. He was overall very supportive and I really couldn't have done it without him.

I got admitted to a top ranked program with funding!! This couldn’t have been possible without Michael’s help! Michael was so kind and acommodating during my entire grad school application process. I reached out to him rather late in the cycle, but he genuinely took the time to give thorough feedback on all my essay drafts. I'm impressed by Michael's fast turnaround time, combined with the unparalled quality of his editing. Michael truly took my applications up a notch, but his kindness and constant enthusiasm made the coaching experience truly memorable. Michael cares deeply about his mentees' success and I was deeply encouraged by his support. I highly highly recommend Michael to anyone applying for Masters programs!

I had a mock interview with Jiachen to prepare for my upcoming interview at Yale. She helped me get a better sense of what the actual interview would look like and gave some very helpful feedback on how to better structure some of responses, which I ended up applying for the actual interview. The interview ended up going well, and I’d definitely recommend Jiachen for those currently prepping for upcoming interviews!

Michael's thorough guidance in preparing me for the final interview was instrumental. If it were not for him, I probably would not be a Schwarzman Scholar. He is a kind human and knows where and how to help applicants like me. He was the first person I texted after I received the call from the admissions team, and we even had a quick call. So, all the very best to whoever will read this comment later, and I highly recommend choosing Michael as your coach. He will give his 100% and also bring your 100% to the table.

Emily is the MBA application consultant you want if you’re looking for someone who is cost effective yet provides world-class guidance. Emily helped me on my essays, resume, and school specific application questions. I got into my top MBA school thanks to her. Highly recommend.

I worked with Antoine in preparing for the GSB interview. Antoine was very kind and knowledgeable. What stood out for me was that Antoine was very tough on the mock interviews and very thoughtful on the feedback which helped me prepare for the actual interview enormously. When I had the actual interview, I felt calm and well prepared, nothing unexpected as most of the questions I got I had already covered them with Antoine - helping me feel relaxed and well prepared on the actual interview. Nothing I didn't cover with Antoine previously. I definitely recommend getting Antoine's help for interview prep.

Overall, working with Ben was a great experience - I would absolutely recommend him to someone else applying to MBA programs who wants assistance with essay writing. I applied to 6 programs, and he provided detailed feedback and commentary. Given Ben's significant experience working with many clients, he understands what each school is looking for and how to help tailor your essays accordingly. He'll provide straightforward guidance and candid opinions, but it is equally important that the client provides clear communication with Ben so everyone is on the same page. Would recommend using him as a coach as he is a valuable sounding board, alleviated significant stress, and built confidence throughout the process.

Karla was very helpful in helping me curate my pitch, helping me ensure that I hit all the points in the prompt within a minute. I think I did much better during the TBD than I otherwise would have.

If you have an HBS interview coming up, Jonathan is your guy. About half of the questions in my actual interview were exactly the same as the ones he used in our mock session. I would recommend him to anyone preparing for the HBS application and interview. He understands the process first hand and knows exactly what you need to be aware of.

If you're aiming for the top, Claire gets results, full stop. There's no exact formula that gets you into the top schools but working with Claire is as close as you'll get. The results speak for themselves, the thing that stood out to me about working with Claire is her growing client base on who has been successful getting in the top programs, especially in recent years. She's developed an impeccable gauge for what helps applicants stand out and effectively pulls those elements of excellence out of her clients (while having fun too!). My first essay was laughable but working with Claire through 10+ drafts in an structured workplan amongst everything else required for business school applications refined my essays into something that got my foot in the door with every program I applied to. (To be updated based on results) We brainstormed so many different storylines together and her ability to pull on threads, break down themes, and resynthesize emotional narratives took my essays to the next level. I spoke with multiple perspective coaches and ended up selecting Claire after chatting with her past clients. I am happy to provide a similar positive reference for anyone else in a high pressure job with limited time and energy to dedicate towards business school applications but also aiming high. I certainly could not have put together as comprehensive and strong of an application without her help. One of the underrated aspects about working with her is how fun and friendly she is as well. She was flexible with schedules and easy to work with over text / async during an incredibly busy time. She also happened to have a fun new background in a different part of the world on each call. Applications are stressful and working Claire made it fun every step of the way, I'd work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about achieving their goals.
