The group class was INCREDIBLY helpful. Honestly, I was hardcore struggling to formulate thoughts around the HBS essay prompt (super ambiguous) and the group class gave me the tools, frameworks, and confidence to forge ahead!

Andrew was a pleasure to work with during my deferred mba application process. I had little to no knowledge of what these schools needed and how they wanted it - Andrew took careful time to help me rewrite my experiences into effective stories that would make the impact they needed to make. He helped me completely revamp my resume as well as my writing into M7 worthy material. I was worried given my relatively average academic record and coming from an overrepresented group of applicants but was able to come out on top and get into my dream mba program (Columbia) because he helped me form my own unique story and narrative to express in my writing and interviews. I couldn’t have done it without him and I highly recommend his consulting services for anyone interesting in applying to deferred mba programs!

I wish I would've booked Michael sooner in the process! He provided thoughtful feedback on my essays, going above and beyond what was asked. The insight he provided on Stanford GSB and the essay writing process was invaluable. He sought to understand my story and then provided valuable ways to craft my narrative. Highly recommend!

Sam is as kind and thoughtful as he is talented. Sam helped me from step one of essay brainstorming all the way through application submissions. He was patient and understanding as he pushed me to find my story and bring it to life through not only essays, but my entire application. He helped with every written requirement including any essay, short response, or even my resume. This type of coaching ensured my story was evident and cohesive throughout the entire application. From working with Sam, I now consider him a friend and mentor, and I feel incredibly grateful for his help. I truly could not have applied without him!

One of the more challenging parts of the application process for me was comfortably sharing my background and future ambitions. The sincere self-reflection was one task, but then sharing it with a stranger and seeking feedback always gave me trepidation…but Camden really changed that for me. After a short introductory phone call, he developed a good rapport with me and I felt much more comfortable speaking with him about every part of my application. He went above and beyond my expectations. Despite his busy schedule (and even during vacation), he stayed up late to accommodate my schedule, was very responsive, and spent much more time than I anticipated to carefully read my application strategy and give me thoughtful comments. Not only was Camden vocally supportive and encouraging, but he was also comfortable enough to point out my blind spots which was most valuable to me. His understanding of the application process and his ability to see things from an admissions committee was evident throughout our time together. Without hesitation, I’d highly recommend Camden to any of my peers and would work with him again.

I attended Sam's GSB "What matters most" essay workshop and this workshop is just amazing. I had no idea what to write before the workshop but left the workshop with a detailed outline and a clear idea. I later scheduled individual appointments with Sam and he has been super helpful with my essays and all other questions regarding the application. I would highly recommend Sam and his small group class to anyone who is looking for a great coach with great essay skills and application experience.

I recently attended a small group class on how to crack the GSB's "what matters most to you, and why" essay led by Sam. I really appreciated the thought Sam put into preparing for the workshop and how he provided multiple approaches for brainstorming, structuring, writing, and revising the essay. Additionally, the class was extremely interactive, and Sam helped each participant create a solid outline to start a draft. Would highly recommend this class to anyone who is struggling to start or wants to refine their "what matters most" essay!

Camden is without doubt the best consultant of the half a dozen I have worked with. He was absolutely invaluable in helping me tell my story for my HBS essay in a compelling way. From the very beginning, working with Camden felt like working with a partner who wanted me to get into HBS just as much as I did, and that came through in the quality of his service. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Camden is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. He takes time to understand you and your goals, which in turn allows him to help you showcase yourself best in an essay or application. Regardless of what stage you're at in your journey, I highly recommend working with Camden one-on-one. He's the best of the best.

Dione was incredibly helpful to me on my MBA journey for three key reasons. First, Dione was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the schools I was thinking of applying to. Not in a generic, 'I have read the website' way, but in the more subtle, application-driven way. For example: Which schools valued humility vs. confidence in their essays and tone of writing? Which schools had strong programs in the career fields I was interested in? What schools valued community service vs. career leadership experience? The small things that set your application apart, and help you tailor an application to the MBA program. Second, Dione is a great editor. She does not change your writing, but rather guides the thought process, and helps refine your thinking and message. I learned to better explain why I was applying to business school through working with Dione. This helped me in my applications, interviews, and also in rationalizing this career decision to myself and to my employer. Finally, Dione, as with any consultant, was an impartial “judge.” A third party who I could run decisions by, who did not have context or history to sway them. She was my rational sounding board. As you move through the emotional chaos of applying to business school, it is important to have that type of resource. I loved working with Dione and highly recommend her as a resource to anyone thinking of pursuing an MBA.
