I worked with Allie for a few round 2 applications with a limited timeline. Being international, I needed extra support to familiarize myself with the approach required to tackle the applications and she guided me seamlessly through the process. She was super helpful in refining my story by asking prompting questions and had a creative and unique way of framing things to make my story flow. She has a sharp attention to detail and is knowledgeable about the schools - Wharton in particular - which was valuable in getting to the final outcome.

Chip is a phenomenal coach! He is patient, very communicative and a great story teller. From the beginning, he invested time working through brainstorming activities with me to understand my strengths and define my story. It is obvious Chip is experienced and knows what schools are looking for. He gave great direction to improve my essays and truly cared about the final output. Chip was my biggest cheerleader and provided positive reinforcement throughout the whole process. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with Chip.

Joseph gave the best and most detailed feedback of any Leland coach I’ve worked with (which is quite a few). His help was a game-changer and made me more proud of the Haas essays I submitted. Also he was very flexible about the way I prefer working and type of feedback I was looking for. He’s also very kind. Would give him a hundred stars if I could. You won’t go wrong working with him!

Chip was one of the most knowledge coaches on the Kellogg application process. He took the time to review every part of my application and provide thoughtful feedback. His turnaround time was quick and he was always available to reach. Great coach and great person! Would definitely recommend Chip to anyone considering an MBA.

I started working with Allie 1.5 months before the round 2 MBA application deadlines. I was incredibly happy with what we accomplished in a short time frame. Allie guided me through each step of the application process. She helped me craft my story and advised me on how to tackle each school's essay questions. She went above and beyond with regards to giving me feedback. Also, she was patient and supportive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend anyone going through MBA application process to work with Allie!

Mario helped me with all my applications to MBA programs. The turn around was incredibly quick for any material I sent over and he was always willing to jump in a call if I had questions. Additionally, he was dedicated to helping me draft an essay that told my story but would set me apart from other applicants! Mario did a great job giving me insights on what schools were looking for and provided positive constructive feedback for any improvements needed. I’d highly recommend him to anyone applying to schools for undergrad or grad programs!

Ben provided really helpful high-level structure coaching and detailed sentence-level feedback on my essays. I ended up getting into Kellogg which I was super excited about thanks to Ben's support.

I was a re-applicant to CBS and Ross, and am currently choosing between CBS and Kellogg. It would absolutely not be possible without Andy's help. I'll break it down: The process: The application process sucks. There are a lot of moving pieces, and Andy helps make the process way smoother. There is a clear step-by-step: resume, recommendation, essay. Working with him made this overwhelming process a lot easier because I could always reach out with questions, tweaks, and a gut check on my story/narrative. The Story: As someone who has a lot going on, it was always difficult trying to nail down my story: why an MBA, what did I want to get out it, and what about my background was unique/interesting. Andy went above and beyond to have brainstorming sessions to parse down my story for each school. This is pretty key for the application portion, but also during interviews & when networking at events. Essays: The essays were a lot harder than I initially expected. Andy helped with brainstorming sessions for each prompt to ensure that I was answering the prompt while nailing the most important parts of my story. I always, always appreciate brutal and honest feedback and Andy never shied away from being honest. The brainstorming sessions were also eye-opening for me in understanding myself beyond the surface level of my extra currs or my job. Super, duper helping in nailing all these prompts and addressing the key points that each school was school was looking for. Re-applicant: Andy was super helpful in crafting my story as a re-applicant. My goals and career had not substantially changed, but Andy was able to help me parse out my story from a completely different angle that was compelling for the application. TLDR: Absolutely, 100 percent recommend working with Andy. He'll be incredibly honest about your reach/target schools based on your profile, guide you through your narrative/essays and is overall just a really positive vibe that is key to this very long, tiring process. THANKS ANDY!!

Sandra was super helpful. I asked her for a sense check over my application. I needed someone who had been through the process, had boots on the ground at HBS, and knew what HBS was looking for. Her feedback was very thoughtful and exactly what I needed. Thank you!

I had one session with Connor and found it to be extremely thorough. He was skilled at helping me identify factors that set me apart and emphasize in my essays. He is also detail oriented and provided additional helpful feedback for my resume even though I went through it a few times before with others.
