I worked with Gloria to prepare for my Case Western Interview, and she gave very helpful feedback and pointers for crafting responses to certain questions. Our session felt productive, and I would definitely recommend doing a mock interview with her, if you're looking for practice!

Having Maajid as my coach completely reframed the way I approached my deferred MBA applications. He helped me workshop my career vision and put it together in a way that made sense to an admissions committee. In the end, I was able to get multiple M7 admits—including HBS—thanks to Maajid's knowledge and guidance!

As an international candidate from a traditional (finance) background, I knew it would be very important to differentiate myself in the application process and Allie was a great help as she pieced together different parts of my application into a unique story. Despite coming to Allie barely a few weeks before application deadlines, she provided me end-to-end support, advising me to tailor my essays to better fit each school’s qualities. Throughout our time working together, Allie was very responsive and her support was absolutely crucial for me to meet the tight deadlines. Overall, Allie is a fantastic coach and I highly recommend her for anyone applying for an MBA!

I had a very positive experience working with him as my coach. In our sessions, he consistently demonstrated a genuine understanding of my thoughts and challenges, creating a space where I felt truly heard. I especially valued his ability to slow down my thinking and help me step back to see the bigger picture, rather than focusing only on immediate outcomes. His approach helped me gain clarity, perspective, and a more meaningful sense of direction in my career.

I reached out to Claudia one week before my interview with Duke Fuqua and she was very happy to schedule a last minute mock with me. Since it has been a hot minute since I last did an interview of any kind, I knew that I wanted to practise with someone who has been through the process and holds an extensive experience being an interviewer too. I am glad that I met Claudia 🙏🏻 She has been a pleasure to work with and could really give some helpful nuggets. I came out of the mock feeling more confident to tackle the real one. Thank you Claudia!

With the help of Bill, I was able to secure admittance to both Darden and McCombs. He helped me think critically about my past and consider how I can meaningfully share my experiences with the admission teams to help craft a consistent story around my long-term career goals. In addition, Bill helped prepare me for my interview, giving me insightful advice on how to approach the questions and let my personality shine. His mock interview and feedback was so incredibly helpful - I felt so prepared for my interviews. I would recommend anyone to work with Bill!!

I found out about Kelsey recently and immediately knew I needed her, given her background and experience in admissions at CBS, to analyse my application and understand why I was dinged from one of top schools. She identified very specific reasons, going line by line, and offered clear, actionable suggestions that showed me exactly where I could improve next time. If I had known about her a few months ago, I would have definitely worked with her on my applications!

Working with Alex was hands down the best decision I made in my MBA application journey. I came to the process as an older candidate with a sub 3.0 GPA, which are two factors that often make M7 programs feel out of reach. Alex didn't blink. She helped me navigate these challenges head-on by showing me exactly how to frame my professional experience as a competitive advantage and address my academic record strategically. Thanks to her guidance, I received interview invites from multiple M7 and T10 programs, ultimately securing an admission to Columbia Business School with a 50% merit scholarship. Alex’s greatest strength is her ability to help you find your core narrative. She was instrumental in honing my career goals and, more importantly, helping me cut through the noise in my essays to focus on what actually matters to admissions committees. She is incredibly responsive, supportive, and efficient. We never wasted a single minute of our sessions. If you are a non-traditional candidate or someone worried about red flags in your profile, I cannot recommend Alex highly enough. She is a master at her craft.

I practiced a number of cases with Alan during my interview prep, and he was an outstanding coach — structured, insightful, and highly effective at identifying exactly what to improve. He gives clear, actionable feedback on frameworking, quantitative work, and final synthesis, and makes the experience feel realistic and highly productive. Not to mention he is easygoing and a pleasure to talk with. I’d highly recommend Alan to anyone preparing for consulting interviews.

Ben is the key reason why I got into CBS and Booth. 1. His engaging, prying conversations with me led me to figure out my core essay theme and made writing way easier than it ever had been. I wrote about a topic that I never would’ve thought I could write about. 2. He shifted my direction for my recommendations in a way that ended up being a lot more effective than my original plan. 3. He did a full revamp of my resume before we got started on anything else so that we wouldn’t have to worry about that. Not only was Ben a great coach, he was also a friend throughout the process and made it clear that he cared about both my MBA outcomes AND my life outcomes. Highly recommend!
