I enjoy meeting with Grant because he is very affable, a great listener, and respectful. Grant asks thoughtful questions that can lead to deep reflection. Would definitely recommend meeting with Grant for anyone looking to understand themselves better and forge a better road ahead!

Lifesaver -- I was in a crunch pivoting to consulting recruiting during MBA2 and had analysis paralysis with all the Career Center, Internet, and peer advice. Jeremy realistically assessed where I was at in our first session and was quickly able to give me the right plan to maximize our 1 on 1 time with pointed homework assignments to increase my skills. He continued to tailor the exercises and feedback based on my individual progression which greatly accelerated my learning. Furthermore, his debrief points were clear and concise with defined areas of improvement we could measure between sessions. Lastly, he was very encouraging and positive throughout a very stressful rush to the finish line. While I'd recommend Jeremy to anyone based on his style and the quality of his coaching, I would say that he is a really amazing coach for folks that have a prior military or sports training background that want an advanced, next level coach who can accelerate your progress when you put in the work.

Working with Michael has been nothing short of transformative. His ability to dig deeper, push you to confront yourself at the most meaningful levels, and cut through the noise to uncover clarity is remarkable. He pairs sharp intellectual aptitude with genuine passion for helping others succeed. I don’t know yet if I’ve been admitted to the program, but regardless, this experience has been worth everything. I trust Michael with any question about Schwarzman, travel, or life, and always leave feeling more grounded and confident. I am truly grateful, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with Michael should consider themselves incredibly fortunate.

Tim has a great coaching style that is a blend of encouragement of what's working and honest feedback about what's not working. He identifies and magnifies your strengths while giving tailored advice where you need improvement. He was a huge help to me and offered superb structural feedback followed by detailed analysis. I used 11 hours across essays for 5 schools (with an emphasis on GSB), and we got to a really strong place for all of them. He's also just a nice guy to work with--really went out of his way to support me.

Kevin was supportive, friendly, and made me feel more confident for my upcoming interview!

As an engineer, I was worried about articulating my story without having too much jargon. Karla provided invaluable insight on my essays and resume, helping me feel confident when I finally hit the submit button. She guided me through wording, storytelling, and framing my experiences in a way that highlighted my strengths clearly. She pushed me to refine my message while making sure my authentic voice still came through. I'd highly recommend Karla to anyone who wants that extra edge in polishing essays or resume, especially if you are from a very technical background like me.

I would highly highly recommend taking coaching classes with Steven. Not only is he an incredible coach and tutor, but also a great person who truly cares for his students. The only reason I was able to land an MBB offer is due to Steven's guidance and insights throughout the process, and his help with interviewing. Can't recommend more than enough!!

Craig was very easy to work with and helped pin down the structure of a good law school personal statement!

I started my MBA application process later than planned, but working with Tim made all the difference. He was not only a constant source of encouragement, but he also instilled in me the confidence to meet fast-approaching deadlines. His insight into what schools are seeking, and his ability to offer sharp, actionable feedback under time pressure, is exceptional. Fully recommend!

Meeting Katharine through Leland has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Coming to the United Kingdom as a refugee from Afghanistan and rebuilding myself after homelessness I often questioned whether someone with my background working long shifts from warehouse to warehouse could ever break into investment banking. It felt distant and almost unreachable. Katharine changed that entirely. Her coaching did far more than improve my skills. she reshaped my mindset and helped me see a future I never believed could include me. She taught with clarity patience and exceptional insight and she always took the time to look at every detail with care. Her dedication went far beyond what I ever expected from a mentor. With her guidance I achieved something I once thought was impossible and got an offer from HSBC in London for Global Markets. She was the reason I was able to step into an industry that had felt closed to someone like me. It is rare to meet a mentor who becomes a role model an inspiration and a genuinely life changing presence yet Katharine did exactly that. I am profoundly grateful to have crossed paths with someone so inspiring. Her impact on my life is lasting and immeasurable and I cannot thank her enough for opening doors and changing the way I see my own potential.
