I highly recommend Greg for anyone looking to pursue an MBA or MBA dual degree, and for those looking to go back to grad school to pursue a sustainability-related degree. Greg not only is knowledgeable about all of the technicalities of the application progress and has a strong sense of what schools are looking for in applications, he is also a very skilled editor - I felt that he improved my writing without ever erasing my voice and always brought me back to my core story. He also held me accountable: he dependably kept me on task and made sure I met my self-imposed and hard deadlines, while also being flexible and helping me to regroup when I was behind. I was admitted to both of the two programs I applied to (one MBA and one dual MBA/MPA), one with a significant scholarship, and I believe that the strength of my applications was largely thanks to Greg's support.

Damian is very familiar with the Schwarzman Scholars application process. He always shares very detailed advice and is willing to share his own experiences, which is really helpful for students. He also generously shared his own application materials with me, which helped me a lot. I’m not very familiar with the graduate school application process, and since the Schwarzman Scholars program is relatively new, there wasn’t much information about the application process online. I feel fortunate to have met Damian and to have learned about the process. I really appreciate his guidance and would recommend anyone interested in the Schwarzman Scholars program to work with him!!!

From start to finish, Kerry is absolutely incredible to work with. She engages at every step of the journey. She is highly responsive, willing to talk through application sticking points, and gets to the heart of what will make your story both compelling and true to you. If you are a candidate with what feels like a "non-traditional" background, Kerry will know exactly how to help your application stand out. 10/10 would recommend working with Kerry!

I had a mock interview session with Jasmine a few days prior to my GSB interview and it made the biggest difference in how my interview went. Jasmine is super organized and challenged me with questions that were really similar to the actual interview. She is also very friendly and engaging, which gave me the positive boost I needed prior to the interview. 10/10 value for money!!

Scott was super knowledgeable about CBS and really wanted me to succeed. He had great tips and was available for questions!

Ferdinand provided a great HBS mock that helped to prepare me. I appreciated the time he spent going through my application and the detailed questions he asked. Highly recommend!

Laura was an invaluable asset to me, from June 2024 to June 2025. I came from a very niche music industry background. Saying I'm a non-traditional candidate would be an understatement. That's why I chose Laura! And, with an undergrad GPA of ~2.8, a sinister case of ADHD, a weak quant background, and applying on the heels of a gap year, the hurdles I faced in my MBA application process were significant. Her strategic expertise was critical in navigating the GMAT/GRE wormhole, ADHD accommodations, and school selection. BUT, where Laura proved most valuable was helping me understand that the things I saw as application *deficits* were in fact, application *distinctions*. I saw things like my age, career background, undergrad institution, etc as negatives... but Laura lead me to the promised land of perceiving those things as the very reasons why a program should accept me. And perception is reality! Beyond core application aspects, Laura supported me throughout the entire admissions cycle, transforming my resume to properly highlight my niche work experience in a way that would make sense to AdComs, offering guidance on communications, recommenders & rec packets, and even a crucial last minute pivot to the Haas EWMBA program. Her responsiveness, empathy, and ability to fit my square peg story into the round holes of the MBA application process, make her an exceptional partner for a non-traditional candidate like myself, and hopefully you too!

Madeline was amazing!! She really knows how to get things done and keeps you super on top of things! She helped to brainstorm my story and was amazing and being detail-oriented. I highly recommend!

Kevin was amazing to work with. He is so positive, empathetic and I could tell a genuine cheerleader for my success. I highly recommend his coaching because he will be able to help work through your story, inject positivity into the journey and is super easy-going!

Rifat was an amazing coach to work with. He takes time to understand your background, story and career goals to piece together a story. He's well versed in the application process and could answer all my questions. I highly recommend him for any school!
