The truth is that Tim is the best admissions consultant there is. He is infinitely better than (PMBA Coach/Stacy Blackman & the likes) as he is able to carve out your personal story and articulate it in a manner that is appealing and refreshing to adcoms. He is aware of the subtle differences between M7 programs and is able to help you capitalize on that information. Tim's responses are full of knowledge and are lightning quick. Tim is - quite frankly - unbelievable at editing essays. He helped dropped the word count for numerous essays while maintaining my original voice and thought. If anything, Tim undercharges for his service. My biggest regret is not working with him sooner.

Booked a follow-up session with Matt to go over interview strategies and practice common questions. Was extremely helpful and he had some great tips for me to consider going into interviews!

When I started the MBA application process, I did not think I would need an MBA consultant, but after working with Mario, I truly have to say this was the best decision I could have made. Mario gave me such insightful tips and tricks, he was very informed about every school I was applying to, he helped me craft my entire story for business school (which everyone loved), and did an excellent job editing all of my essays / resume.  I applied to 5 M7 schools and Mario gave me very specific advice tailored to each school, which I also really appreciated because every school is looking for something different. He was always available to meet with me and he put a lot of time into helping me. Overall, I highly recommend Mario to anyone applying to b-school - he knows exactly what he's doing.

Allie was super supportive throughout the MBA application process. At the start, Allie asked thoughtful questions to get to know my background, strengths, and interests and helped to craft a tight narrative around my goals. Allie is super knowledgeable about different MBA programs and provided guidance around tailoring my narrative to each school. Allie makes herself available and will provide feedback with a tight turnaround timeline. I highly recommend working with Allie!

Arielle provided exceptional coaching and feedback that greatly enhanced my HBS interview prep. She helped me identify and address blindspots during my mock session, and helped me gain the confidence necessary to ace the real thing. Ultimately, I was admitted to HBS. I can't thank her enough!

I worked with Yash for a mock interview with GSB. Yash was responsive and did a quick turnaround on my request by getting on a call that evening and sharing his insights about being at the school. Yash's approach was unique as he suggested being comfortable with my authentic self and truly appreciated my background and stories; this helped me bring out my best in a comfortable and genuine manner. He even checked in on me after the interview and on the admit day; this shows that Yash goes above and beyond as a coach and truly cares about your success. I highly recommend Yash!

Regan was crazy helpful as I was preparing for my HBS interview. He came very prepared to the mock interview and provided very specific feedback right after the call and via email afterwards. She clearly knows her stuff and I highly recommend her for all your HBS mock interview needs! Good luck!

John is such an exceptional guy and I feel lucky to count him as a friend. I went out on a limb and invited him to lunch while I was applying to business schools and, despite his incredibly packed schedule, he accepted. He shared his experience at the GSB and talked about what it's been like starting Leland. I was so impressed by his obvious character and drive to make Leland a success. Since then, we've stayed in contact and he's been one of my most supportive cheerleaders; he even offered to do a mock HBS interview with me one evening late at night after he'd spent the day cranking on Leland and raising his family. He gave awesome feedback that really helped me level up my performance. I ended up on the HBS waitlist (fingers crossed!!) and I know that it's thanks to mocks with the likes of John. I couldn't more highly recommend getting coaching from John, not only for his stellar advice but also to get to rub shoulders with an outstanding human being.

When I was contemplating applying to business school, I figured I had no chance of getting into one of my dream schools given my lack of Tier 1 experience or pedigree. Then, I began receiving coaching from Chas. He guided me along the entire process, effectively helping me articulate my story in new ways, identifying certain themes and strengths that I should highlight in various forms throughout the application. He also helped me understand the complicated unspoken rules and nuances involved throughout the entire process. Chas helped me elevate my application to a level that I literally could not have done on my own. In the end, I was accepted by Wharton in R1 and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. If it weren't for Chas, I simply wouldn't made it into a top program. He was always willing to serve as a sounding board, reviewer, editor, cheerleader, and mentor, whether it was early morning or late evening. If you are considering getting a coach to help you with your MBA application, stop right now and beg Chas to take you on as a client; it will be the best decision you can make for your MBA apps. Not to mention, Chas is such a stellar human being and getting to know and interact with him is its own reward. Good luck!

Roy is very personable and passionate about helping his clients. When I first met him, I was struck by his sincerity and openness to share his philosophy. I had many moments of self-doubt where I felt like I could not give my interview because I was unbelievably nervous. He helped me channel this anxiety into action and a button-up approach. Roy helped me present myself authentically to my interviewer and to do so with confidence. Most importantly, I felt that he was genuinely invested in my success. Roy is an excellent coach for any step in the MBA application.
