I first engaged with Barbara via LinkedIn to ask her questions regarding the MBA process. Barbara always shares insightful and valuable information with her followers. She was always willing to answer any question I had and offer up recommendations to me. If you are interested in learning more about the MBA process and want to work with an expert in the field then she is your trusted advisor, let me be clear when I say this – you would be making a mistake by not engaging with her. Barbara always has a positive attitude and is invested in making your dream happen! The MBA changed my life, and it will change yours too!

Since day one on LinkedIn, Barbara was of great support. She would make herself available to go over doubts or obstacles, which with time-sensitive deadlines is something to be grateful for. Barbara always conveys a positive attitude, managing to bring calm to what is a complex process. Barbara provided detailed guidance from start to finish. I can’t tell you how many times I sent an email asking for help or a quick call to go discuss a part of the application and she would reply in the following hours with an opening to talk. This was something I noticed from my first communications with Barbara and this support did not change throughout the whole process. Finally, you can really notice Barbara’s authentic involvement in your application process. You can feel how she is rooting for you every step of the way. I would recommend working with Barbara to any potential applicant!

I can’t say enough good about Barbara. She has been more than a consultant for me but also a life coach in a sense. She gets “IT” and demonstrates that through her passion of staying ahead of the curve and speaking on topics on platforms like Linkedin that most consultants aren’t speaking on. Barbara’s involvement does not stop when a candidate gets accepted into their dream school. She is and continues to remain a cheerleader for those who’ve been through the journey of applying to B-School. This journey isn’t for the faint of heart as Barbara is the first to say. I just got accepted into my dream school on the account of Barbara talking through this process and keeping me motivated to finish strong. If you are seeking uncertain whether or not you should apply then she is very realistic. Keep in mind that a high GRE/GMT won’t guarantee you a seat at your school of choice. I can stay this speaking from experience. Barbara will help you bring your story together because, at the end of the day, schools are looking for someone who is more than a test score as they reject those often.

I highly recommend Barbara as an exceptional coach for MBA candidates! Her depth of knowledge and expertise in the field is evident in her ability to guide and support students through the rigorous MBA application process. Barbara is extremely skilled at identifying unique strengths and weaknesses and providing tailored guidance to help create a story that showcases your true self. Barbara’s coaching and mentorship were key factors in my success during the application process and ultimately in my acceptance to Columbia and Wharton with scholarship offers!

Barbara was instrumental in helping me achieve my goal of getting into my first pick business school. She provided invaluable guidance on how to structure all deliverables of the admissions process from resume to essays and ultimately, helped secure my acceptance at both schools I applied to. Even after I received my acceptance letters, Barbara continued to provide me with effective coaching and guidance. I ultimately decided to defer and it was her logic and thoughtful reasoning that helped me come to this conclusion. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone looking for a stellar admissions consultant. Thank you, Barbara, for all your help!

1) Barbara really understands the "personality" of each school well, and can help you customize your profile accordingly and pick your school strategically 2) Barbara really know how to craft your story to make you stand out from your competitors. As she mentioned, she would be acting as your attorney to argue for your strength and against your weakness 3) Barbara is honest and dedicated, and she returned your work very quickly with very detailed comments, and she is always available for a call for further explanation

Loved each interaction with Barbara, learned a lot and she was always open to reviewing and giving me advice for each step of the application process.

Helped me to land interviews for the MBA Program of Rotman and LBS. Great advice in how to structure the essays.

Working with Barbara through my application to Booth was such a great experience! From the professionalized advise to her insider knowledge on different schools, processes, and insights, Barbara was such a big help in my process. She helped me edit and refine my essay, challenging certain topics and points that should be done differently, and offering insights on different phases of the process. I often felt like I was Barbara's only client and it was clear that she truly cared about my admission.

Working with Barbara was an absolute pleasure. She is an expert in refining your message and helping you put your best foot forward. She came highly recommended from a friend of mine, and she did not disappoint. I was accepted into every program I applied to with scholarship, which is very impressive considering I had a 3.1 GPA.
