In one of my MBA essay revisions, Danielle wrote to me “I want you to realize that the common denominator is YOU!” In a time where I felt somewhat disempowered as the fate of the next two years was uncertain, and lacked confidence in my ability to get into my dream schools, Danielle was the person that made me realize that I was capable. Beyond that, she was always available and responsive to every email and question, that I had. She is supportive, available and detailed in her approach to help improve her clients’ chances to get into their dream school. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Wes helped me develop my ability to problem solve in an efficient and clear manner. These skills helped me get my job at Amazon and later get promoted.

Ben is a total professional. I feel lucky to be working with him.

I worked with Arthur when I started considering applying for an MBA. He was incredibly supportive throughout the process and helped me narrow down the list of schools to focus on. Arthur's expertise made me feel prepared to take on all the requirements from each of the two schools I ended up applying to. From application essays, to recommendations and interviews, Arthur guided me and provided a very high level of service. With his help, I was able to successfully navigate the application process and got accepted into both Anderson and Sloan! I ended up attending Sloan and loved my experience. I highly recommend Arthur for any MBA admissions coaching. He is personable, empathetic and knows the ins and outs of MBA applications.

Stanford GSB's “What matters most to you, and why?” is one of the most difficult essays I have to write for my MBA applications. After dozens of iteration, I thought I had come up with a great essay. Through friend's connection, I contacted Roy and asked him for feedback. He did not sugar coat and told me that my answer to the question was too generic and did not demonstrate why it matters most to me. It is Roy's critical feedback that led me to dive deeper and came up with an essay that got me into both Stanford and Harvard. I cannot thank him enough for his help!

I couldn't have asked for a better MBA consultant. Alex is one of the most professional individuals I have the pleasure of working with over my 12-year career. He was personally invested through the whole process and brought his considerable skills and expertise in each step of the application. His partnership helped to showcase my accomplishments and my personal story to its fullest. Even then, just by working with him, I was able to improve on my personal communication skills and bring that back to how I communicate at work and at a personal level. Alex was a partner whom I could completely trust and rely on throughout the application process. He was responsive and would usually reply within a few hours. He worked with me on the deadlines and was available whenever I needed him. He added a personal touch as well, checking in on me and my recovery when I fell sick during the application process. Thinking back, I’m just floored by the level of effort and passion he brought in every stage of the application. Based on his dedication, I know it is not just a job to him, but a role where he is personally invested to help you achieve your goals. Alex is someone whom I am honored to partner with and hope to continue a friendship with even after my application process. I applied to the Stanford GSB MSx program and it was a moonshot for me given how challenging it is to enter the program and how I had only three weeks to prepare the application, obtain letters of recommendations and study for the GRE. Yet, with Alex's help, I was able to overcome all these and obtain an admissions offer from the Stanford GSB. Thank you, Alex!

Ryna came prepared with a plan for my specific goals of scoring high enough to be competitive at an ivy league. I scored a 35, and I attribute Ryna's direct session plans to my success. She's super kind and great to work with!

Bhargav recently ran two workshops for a group of clients (~30-50+ senior executives) and was a huge hit. He was not only great to work with, but he was able to effectively inspire and coach a group that had come in with high expectations. Bhargav used real life and interesting examples to drive home the points he was trying to make and keep the session interactive and memorable. His ability to connect easily with the group helped ensure that individuals learned a great deal and the teachings from the session stuck with them. Furthermore, Bhargav’s vast experience and knowledge in teaching the subject matter was reflective in his ability to bring credibility and new thinking for the group. Would gladly work with Bhargav again.

When I did my first interviews in consulting, I learned the hard way that I had been preparing incorrectly, resulting in a terrible interview and first round failure. At first I thought consulting just wasn't for me, but Tijs noticed my potential and motivated me to apply for Bain & Company, confidently stating that with the right preparation, he was sure that I could land an offer. Tijs was extremely dedicated to my success, and spent significant time to coach me on every aspect of the Bain interview process (CV & motivation letter, personal interview, case cracking) throughout all three rounds. Thanks to Tijs' continued support and personalized coaching, I was able to successfully land an Associate Consultant Intern offer at Bain & Company. I would highly recommend Tijs as an interview coach not only because he has proven to be an expert case solver (landing jobs at Bain, BCG and McKinsey), but also because he is honestly invested in your personal success.

Charlotte was the best coach I could ever ask for during the MBA Admissions Process. She is warm yet direct, and has a gift for weaving prior work experiences together with future career goals to craft a compelling admissions package. I couldn't recommend a better coach and champion along your admissions process journey! Thanks again, Charlotte!
