I worked with Edgar on a CV review and it was great! I didn't even expect it to be so helpful. Using the new CV Version, I have got several invitations for an interview right away. The progress was slowed down because the companies put the positions on hold. But I stay very optimistic that I'll get the job I want. Thanks again!

Chuck was a mentor to me during my MBA at UCLA Anderson, being a class above me at the time. I was coming in as a mechanical engineer from the oil and gas industry and trying to find ways to articulate my transferable skills as well as perform well in PM interviews to land a tech PM job. I blindly reached out to Chuck and he was extremely warm and supportive. Not only did Chuck give tactical suggestions to help me improve in both areas, but he also gave me reassurance of the strengths I already had, which boosted my confidence tremendously and helped combat imposter syndrome. I ended up getting an PM internship at Amazon and then full time PM offers from Microsoft and Google and Chuck was a big help to get there.

I was referred to Josh by multiple friends and relatives who had great success with Josh and were admitted to T7 MBA programs. The common theme when speaking to every single referral was that Josh is a miracle worker and each person credited his work ethic and patience as a major reason why they did so well on their GMAT. I feel as though a written review for Josh isn't enough to convey how good of a tutor he is. If you're lucky enough to work with Josh, take advantage of his knowledge, and if you work hard, you will succeed. He is hands down the best tutor I've ever worked with.

Tijs was incredible helpful in helping me to secure an offer at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). He has a deep understanding of how to crack a case, with super useful tricks to ace each part of the case (framework, quants, business sense, recommendation).

I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Dione, it was worth every penny and I truly believe without a doubt I would not have gotten the scholarships/acceptances that I did without her help....If you have the opportunity to work with Dione, take it and don't look back! In just a few short months she helped me take my hundreds of different ideas and edit and package them into polished applications to present to 7 top business schools. Applying to MBA programs is stressful and working with a consultant is expensive, but each step of the way, Dione gave me peace of mind as she guided me towards success. She was always quick to respond with essay edits (even during holidays), gave honest feedback, and was an expert literary editor. She also has the professional business and MBA background to give you short and long term career ideas that make sense for your personal goal statements. If you have hopes of getting into a top b school, but don't know how to present yourself to admissions committees, work with Dione. She will work hard day by day to get you there…. I got into one of my target schools with a full tuition scholarship (valued at over $135K). I am sure I would not have gotten here without Dione's constant guidance, editing, and advice.

Suffice to say, without Pamela’s help, I never would have gotten interviewed, much less admitted, to a T15 program. Originally, I had planned to embark on the application process alone. After attending an MBA fair and seeing how utterly unprepared I was, I realized I needed help. I chose to work with Pam because she, out of all the other consultants at the fair, seemed to genuinely care about helping the candidate, staying to review résumés even as the fair was closing down around her. Our first few sessions focused on meticulously exploring my stories and dredging through my background and experiences. Her holistic approach, knack for finding strengths, and skill with reframing weaknesses helped me to better understand my own profile and more clearly define my goals and aspirations. I really need to commend Pamela for her patience and her ability to work with my extremely short timeline. Even though I started extremely late in the cycle (mid-November), Pamela was always available to help coach me and prioritize the areas of my applications that needed the most work, and I never got the sense that she grew impatient, or had written me off as a lost cause. Her feedback was invaluable, particularly during our mock interview sessions, and her constructive criticism really helped me to trim the fat and distill my experiences down to a concentrated and digestible format. When the dust had settled and the decisions came back, her advice proved instrumental in helping me convert my waitlists into admits. I cannot recommend Pamela highly enough. Thanks to her, I was able to overcome an otherwise lackluster profile and gain admittance to my top choice school.

Highly recommend working with Ryna! She helped me write my personal essay for graduate school last fall and made the whole process so easy. She asked me the important questions necessary to write a killer essay, helped me organize my thoughts and apply them to the page. Without Ryna I'm not sure how I could've written my grad school essay. Book her ASAP!!

As an international student, I initially had a Harvard alumna from my country help me build up my application. One day before the deadline, a mutual friend suggested Karla look at my application. Karla assured me that I had all the baseline elements for a winning application but I was clearly missing a personal narrative. Her specific advice helped me elevate the personal narrative element within my application, translating nuances and undertones that I was not necessarily used to culturally as an Asian into something that must have resonated with admissions. In fact, her advice made me decide to write a whole additional optional essay which I think was what got me into Harvard!

For context, I'm coming from a technology background, have an average GPA from a good undergrad school, and decent test scores. I worked with Alex, who went to GSB and had a similar background as I did. We spent the first couple of hours at a high level finding the “right” story for all of my applications - one that would both make holistic sense in the context of a MBA application and fit my interests/ambitions. From there, we went back and forth on revisions of my resume, essays, recommendation letters, etc… Throughout this process, Alex was direct & honest with me while also encouraging me to offer constructive feedback to him. He was able to recognize strengths & weaknesses in my application (e.g. strong extracurriculars, weak essay writing style) and effectively communicate how to make up for those weaknesses. I believe he had unique insights which materially helped my application (e.g. talk about collegiate athletic career @ school X because they value that type of team-based experience) and which I would not/could not have recognized on my own. He was timely in all of his communications and was efficient, which helped to make the most of our hourly sessions. This helped ease any additional time pressure and allowed me to submit all of my applications ahead of the initial deadlines without sacrificing quality. All in all, I would highly recommend working with Alex. Everything was just easy - making payments, communication, etc... - and I think that's important in this process. Whether or not I got into any schools, I believe working with Alex gave me the BEST possible opportunity to get into a school of my dreams. Fortunately for me, I did! I'll be attending CBS next year and am truly excited.

Jeremy is a thoughtful and committed coach who attentively listens to his clients and provides meaningful and targeted feedback. Jeremy was my primary support during my Bain interview process and was instrumental in my receiving an offer. Our case preparation enabled me to identify opportunities to improve my interview style. Jeremy also provided great advice on how to improve my case math skills and frame my quantitative analysis.
