I had Chris as an instructor for two (2) of the six (6) modules comprising AI Strategy, a course offered by Cornell's Johnson Graduate School of Management in October, 2025. Specifically, the two modules he led were Knowledge-based AI Technologies and Societal Impacts of AI. I have nothing but praise for Chris, as he was a true professional, exhibiting his depth and breadth of knowledge on the subject, and presenting it in a clear and understandable manner, particularly for someone like myself who possessed nothing more than a rudimentary understanding of AI going in. Further, I thought he had the right temperament to be teaching a course like this, where many of the class participants didn't have much prior experience with AI either, notwithstanding many who were employed by tech companies. Again, a true professional, and I'd gladly take a course with him again.

Thank you for the latest AI updates and insights.

I came to Bob struggling in the RC section of the LSAT. His elite method for teaching RC turned a grey area into something I could understand in full detail. He teaches you to look for the right things in the right places, a skill that I lacked coming in. Most importantly, he taught me to be confident in my approach -- a trait I clearly lacked. I credit Bob immensely with my score increase from a 166 to a 172. He helped me slay the beast and have fun while doing it. Further, his advice while writing my personal statement was also invaluable in preparing a story that is true to me. All around, Bob was a great mentor, tutor, and just fun to talk movies with. If you need LSAT help, he's your guy.

I am excited to see Samar Fahmy expand her coaching work and would highly recommend her. She has spent much of her career working with students and brings both strong judgment and a genuine investment in their long-term success. Samar is approachable and brings a warm, steady energy. She is thoughtful about how she meets students where they are—taking the time to understand their goals, context, and what may be getting in their way—and then helps them move forward in a way that feels both realistic and sustainable. As a colleague, Samar is thoughtful, reliable, and someone I have consistently appreciated working alongside. Students working with her will be well supported.

Melinda has the experience, temperment and wisdom to help any student who comes her way. She is a leader and a stong voice in student advising and success. Anyone lucky enough to work with her will come out with a strong application and a confident style!

I have worked with Melinda for many years. She has a professional yet warm approach to everyone she meets! Her growth professionally has been remarkable, showcasing skills in communication, organization, and leadership. Her success in working with students has been exceptional but most impressive is her ability to connect with admissions committee members across the pre-health spectrum, making her a valuable guide and resource for others.

Simone coached me through a big career transition, nine years at one company to a VP of Sales role and helped me get clear on what I actually wanted rather than just chasing the next thing. He challenges your thinking without being prescriptive, and I came out of it making a decision I felt genuinely confident in.
