My admissions outcomes wouldn't have been possible without Ben. A few specific things he did that were particularly helpful for me: 1) My bschool story touches on a few sensitive topics. I spoke to a few coaches who told me those topics would be out of place in a bschool application. Ben was the first person to tell me to lean into those experiences and I think that made all the difference in landing admits at my dream schools. 2) Ben made a huge difference in shaping my story. He wasn't afraid to tell me when something I had written wasn't where it needed to be. He also helped me take seemingly disconnected experiences and turn them into a very cohesive story. 3) Ben did a great job of managing the pace of the application process to ensure that I wasn't scrambling and had sufficient time to dig into each application. Can't recommend Ben enough and incredibly grateful for his help.

Andy was great to work with, excited about my profile, and flexible in methodology to adapt to my needs and ways of working. I got accepted into Stanford and Harvard, which I never expected I could accomplish. As I started putting together my application, I had a difficult time piecing together the seemingly incompatible and contradictory parts of my professional experience and background. Andy was a great storyteller, who helped me create a cohesive narrative. Andy was very encouraging throughout the process and reminded me how my unique background would help me stand out from other applicants. When things got tough and I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, his support helped me keep my head high. Given my unconventional background, Andy was happy to alter his methodology - we spent a lot of time talking about my career, stories, and goals for the future. I also needed more face to face interactions and discussion sessions to figure out exactly what I was going to write, and he was happy to adapt. He did not settle for average, which I’m truly grateful to him for. His suggestions were on point and very helpful. I also am so glad that he agreed to take my GSB application on towards the end of the process, even though that meant more work as we were already nearing the finish line. Thank you Andy!! Can’t recommend you enough!

Geri was an exceptional coach who played a crucial role in my acceptance to HBS. Her mock interview mirrored the actual process, and her feedback was invaluable. She was also extremely personable and put me at ease going into gameday. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make a strong impression in their interview. Thank you, Geri!

Tim provided outstanding guidance in essay writing, mock interviews, and application strategy. He helped me refine a vast array of essay ideas into a strong story arc and provided helpful direction during essay review so that my narrative was clear and compelling. His AdCom experience ensured that mock interviews were hyper-realistic, and his feedback was direct and constructive. Similarly, his AdCom experience helped me effectively navigate my overall strategy as an applicant with a criminal conviction.

Arielle and I worked together on several top 10 program apps. She provided very strong feedback on my essays that helped transform them. She's evidently extremely knowledgeable about the process and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her. I am 5/5 admits to the programs I applied to thanks to her!

I worked with Mario on GSB interview prep for R2 (Feb 2024). Mario's insight into how GSB conducts interviews and his thorough approach to prep helped me immensely in my actual GSB interview. Come interview day I could confidently answer the questions I received because of the prep sessions Mario and I had. And I just got my GSB admit so I know this was time and money well spent. Seriously, he's such a supportive and well-informed coach - reach out!

TL;DR: Nate is an incredible coach and human being, and I am grateful to him for supporting me in securing my admit to GSB (Class of 2026)! When Nate and I connected in November 2023, I was ready with close-to-finished drafts of most of my schools and terrible drafts of my GSB essays. I wanted to get a gut check from a GSB alum to see if I should even bother applying. Due to a below-average GMAT and not "out of this world" achievements, I struggled with conjuring the confidence to apply. Nate gave me the final nudge I needed, showing genuine belief in my potential, and I applied to GSB in Round (Jan 2024). He then supported me through HOURS of interview prep. Needless to say, he was the first person I called when I received my admission call in March. To say that Nate changed my life would be an understatement. He is a kind, supportive, and insightful coach, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the application process. He helped me craft essays I'm proud of - particularly in elevating my "Why Stanford?" essay. Above all, he helped me believe in myself. Nate is an incredible coach and human being. Don't hesitate to reach out to him!
