Geri was super helpful as I was looking to focus essays. Not only was her turnaround super fast, but her thoughts were very tactical and focused. Thank you Geri!

I thought my essays were good. My friends and family had provided feedback and I thought I was ready to go....until I met Cathy. She broadened the possibilities of how I could spotlight my strengths, authenticity, and rich experiences to MBA programs. She pushed my thinking in a compassionate, firm, and thoughtful way that was motivating and inspiring. Cathy is knowledgeable about what Admissions Committees are looking for and will help you shape your personal stories to put your best foot forward. If I happen to get into the two schools I applied to, it will be because Cathy helped me SHINE! Thank you so much Cathy!

Working on my application with Michael has been the best experience. Before reaching out to him, I had almost given up applying to grad school however since the start he reassured me and helped me own my story and write an application I felt confident about. First, what stood out was how he made me feel comfortable to share my story. I used to feel so afraid to share my work with others till Michael coached me. He allowed me to articulate myself without rushing and just be myself. I appreciate that he took the time to get to know me and what I have done and used that to give specific suggestions for my application. Secondly, he would compliment my essays nicely and acknowledged my efforts, which motivated me to go on and not give up. But don't get me wrong, he was very thorough in reviewing my work. Third, I loved that he answered all my questions even when I thought they were silly, he would expound more and help me understand. I never for once felt I was alone on the journey. Michael is simply the best.

Alex has a superpower in being concise yet a very effective storyteller! I came in with only about 3 days to spare before submitting my applications but they were more than ready to help me out despite the time crunch. I had a vision of how I wanted my application story and essays to be and Alex helped me bring it to life. I can't recommend her enough, no matter how early or how late (like how I was) you are into your applications, Alex is more than ready to help you out.

Jasmine is fantastic. She is extremely responsive and helped me refine my narrative for all the schools I applied to. Through her coaching, I discovered new anecdotes and themes that became instrumental in my application. Also, she provided consistent interview prep to make sure I was ready to go for all of my interviews. Top notch value! I am so glad I signed up with Jasmine!

Ty helped me out with both editing my personal statement and preparing for my dental school interviews. I'm really happy with our time together, as he helped me make my personal statement stronger since he provided very specific and helpful feedback! As well, for interview prep, we did a mock interview together and when I interviewed for UCLA, some of the questions they asked were the same ones that Ty prepped me for! Looking forward to getting a few acceptances this cycle and will be updating soon. Thank you, Ty!!! You're awesome!!!!

I was applying to MIT Sloan and reached out to Matt to help me with the interview portion of my application. Matt went through my application in detail, gave me advice on the best avenues to pursue to make the best case for myself, was a great source of peer-review feedback for my essays, and helped with mock interviews to make sure that I was as prepared as I could be going into the interview. The interview went off without a hitch, I do take some credit for that but the prep-work with Matt was immensely helpful in making sure my thoughts were organized and my arguments cogent. At the end of the day, I got in with Matt and don't know that I would have without him, and for that reason he is 5-stars worth every penny.

I reached out to Matt for help in crafting my military story for my MBA journey about two months before the Round 1 deadlines, while I was also studying for the GRE and applying for a CS master's program. Despite his busy schedule, Matt made time to help me think bigger than I initially aimed for. He guided me on how to best craft my essay for my reach schools and his support gave me confidence that I will secure an acceptance somewhere. Matt was extremely supportive and responsive throughout the process. He was always available to clarify any of my questions and assist with my application. In one instance, I reached out to him two days before one of my deadlines while he was at the airport, waiting just a few minutes before his flight, and he still made time to help me with a few tweaks for my application, which I greatly appreciate. Coming from a state school for my undergrad, I didn't fully understand how to prepare my essays and present myself as a strong candidate for my reach schools. Matt's guidance helped me mold my military experience and personal endeavors into a compelling narrative. Thanks to Matt, I now have the opportunity to earn both my MBA and MSCS!

Macy was very successful in applying to law schools, so her suggestions carried a lot of credibility. I love how she didn't waste time and gave me direct, detailed, and candid feedback on my statement of purpose. I felt like I was in good hands during our session. I highly recommend Macy as a coach!

Andy really changed my narrative. Thanks to him, I got into my dream school for Deferred MBA, Stanford Graduate School of Business. I could not have done without him and am forever grateful for his dedication and support throughout the process. One unique aspect of his coaching is that there is no set "end time" to our calls - he really cares about spending every minute clearing doubts and helping produce the best outcome possible. Got accepted also to Wharton, MIT, and Columbia. Thank you Andy.
