Geri is incredibly knowledgeable about the HBS application process and provided guidance on my interview preparation, post-interview reflection (PIR), and waitlist update materials. She was always prompt in her responses, offering professional feedback and clear, actionable next steps. Her support made a real difference in navigating each stage of the application. Thank you Geri for being such a dedicated and insightful partner on this journey!

Working with Karla was one of the best decisions I made during my graduate school application process. I was applying to Financial Engineering programs and didn’t have a long list of extracurriculars or standout activities, but Karla helped me craft strong, focused, and compelling essays that brought out the most impactful parts of my story. One of the things I appreciated most was how she was able to translate the highly technical language of my work in mathematical modeling into a clear, engaging narrative that admissions committees could connect with. Her ability to bridge technical depth with personal insight made a huge difference in my essays. She was also incredibly prompt and reliable with both emails and texts, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free—especially when working under tight deadlines. Thanks to her thoughtful guidance and sharp feedback, I was accepted into a a top 10 Financial Engineering program! I highly recommend Karla to anyone applying to competitive graduate programs, especially those who need help turning technical or niche experience into a compelling personal story.

Working with Debby throughout the admissions process helped me immensely! She is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive to deadlines throughout the process. She made my application cycle much smoother and allowed me to focus on my writing.

Michael is an exceptional coach who has a rare ability to truly understand each applicant for who they are and help them surface the strongest possible version of their story. He’s incredibly thoughtful in how he guides you to shape a narrative that feels authentic while also maximizing impact in highly competitive applications. He is deeply attentive, highly responsive, and clearly committed to continuously refining himself as a top-tier coach, something that’s evident both in his one-on-one work and in the results he delivers. His extensive experience with the Schwarzman Scholars application process, in particular, allows him to offer nuanced, practical insight into how to bring your story to life on paper and in interviews. I’m incredibly grateful for Michael’s advice, coaching, and time. His guidance played a meaningful role in helping me present my best self to the Schwarzman selection committee and during the interview process (and ultimately get accepted). I can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone navigating a competitive fellowship or graduate application.

I came to Dione with a simple goal in mind: get into my top choice business schools with integrity and purpose. She helped me do that with flying colors, landing me admits at Columbia, Wharton, and HBS. Dione is someone who is above all transparent. She was honest with me about my overrepresented background (consultant from California), but also recognized and quite honestly pulled out characteristics about my work and personal life I had trouble articulating but knew were important. She has a gifted ability of making people feel comfortable in their own truth while leveraging it for admission, and it's something I'm very grateful to have encountered. In a year as competitive as this one, I'm glad that I worked with Dione who helped me get into three Ivy League M7's, culminating in my matriculation to HBS this Fall. You will not regret working with Dione!

Emily was highly recommended from a few friends who worked with her in previous years, and I totally understand why. She spent time understanding my full story and gave me honest and insightful feedback on what parts of my story I should highlight for AdComs. I found her previous experience and relationships invaluable as I customized my applications to multiple top tier schools. She has been not only a strategic resource, but also a supportive friend throughout this (at times) frustrating application process. I was extremely satisfied with all of my applications and I could not imagine achieving the level of polish and authenticity I did without her guidance.

Skyler was so helpful throughout the process of my college admissions! I could tell that he cared for the process of my application and was able to bring out the best of it. With his help, I am able to say I will be attending a college that I never thought I could get into before!

Bill is an exceptional coach—brilliant, compassionate, and genuinely invested in his students' success. When I first began my law school applications, I struggled with my personal statement and optional essays. But Bill transformed the daunting process into a manageable and even enjoyable experience. His guidance not only helped me significantly enhance my personal statement, but it also led to outcomes beyond my expectations: I received offers from four T-6 law schools, when I initially hoped for just one. What truly sets Bill apart, however, is his unwavering support. Throughout the stressful journey, he consistently checked in, offered insightful advice, and provided the encouragement I needed. His mentorship turned a nerve-wracking process into a rewarding journey. I can confidently say that Bill is the best coach for law school applications. I couldn’t have achieved these results without his expertise and support, and I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done. If you want a coach who is both a brilliant strategist and a compassionate mentor, Bill is the one

Got into HBS with Geri's interview prep help! She's great at giving mocks and offering feedback on the spot.

I was looking for an MBA coach who could gracefully guide me through the MBA application process with integrity. I wanted someone who would be 100% invested in me, and tried their best to grasp what it meant to be a first generation low income applicant and Asian American. I knew I’d benefit from essay guidance the most. I chose Dione because she is a Stanford GSB alumna and an expert on the 5 schools I targeted: Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, Yale. After the first meeting, I knew she was the perfect fit: she was incredibly structured, articulate, knowledgeable, strategic, and caring. What I found most helpful was her essay support and career vision. She is very responsive and offers short turnaround times, and knew exactly where I needed steering. She wasn’t just my consultant, but a mentor and friend. Dione is the perfect coach—without her, I wouldn’t have applied to my 5 business schools in time. She continued to motivate me and inspire me throughout our journey together. Dione is extremely empathetic and will take great measures to fully understand your story inside and out, and work with your schedule. Thanks to Dione’s unwavering support, I received a full ride from Yale SOM (full tuition covered as a Yale Aspire Fellow), and a $100,000 scholarship from Columbia Business School. I was interviewed at Wharton (and subsequently waitlisted), but didn’t hear back from Stanford GSB. Ultimately, I got into my #1 dream school, Harvard Business School. Trust me, Dione is the BEST coach on this platform for holistic essay, interview, career vision, and application strategy.
