I couldn’t have asked for a better coach than Ellin to prepare me for my Harvard Business School interview. From the very first session, she was spot on—she knew exactly what to expect and tailored our prep to cover everything that actually came up in the interview. Beyond that, Ellin challenged me with additional questions that pushed me to reflect more deeply on my story and goals, helping me show up as my most authentic and compelling self - even though she was helping me only with HBS, those reflections and tips were key for me to get an offer in Wharton (Lauder Program) and Booth. Thanks to her guidance, I felt confident and prepared walking into the interview, and I know I couldn’t have gotten into HBS without her. I’m incredibly grateful and would recommend her to anyone serious about getting into a top MBA program!

Ellin Lolis was instrumental in helping me secure a place at my dream MBA program. She guided me through every step—from selecting the right school for my goals, to crafting strong essays and a compelling personal story, to preparing for interviews and refining my communication. Her strategic advice and constant support made all the difference. Highly recommend!

Applying as a couple, we were very unsure whether we would be able not only to gain acceptance into our target schools but also to be admitted together. Ellin and her team's support was absolutely fundamental in navigating the 7 (yes, 7!) school applications with focus and in streamlining an avalanche of essays and preparations. Ultimately, I was admitted to 6 out of 7 schools, 4 of them with my partner. We even received a scholarship to an Ivy League school - and for both of us! I cannot recommend nor thank everyone at ELC enough for this; their support was literally life-changing.

Ellin is an exceptionally talented and dedicated professional. I truly cannot overstate the impact she had on my MBA application journey. From strategy and storytelling to editing and emotional support, her guidance was instrumental every step of the way. Thanks to her expertise and unwavering support, I was admitted to my dream business school. I’m incredibly grateful for her work and would highly recommend her to anyone navigating the MBA admissions process.

Ellin and her team were exceptional partners throughout my MBA journey—their strategic guidance, sharp edits, and deep understanding of the admissions process were instrumental in helping me craft a compelling application that ultimately led to my acceptance at Columbia. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Ellin was the secret sauce to my MBA application that got me to HBS. She has a talent for understanding people better than they understand themselves, and helping clients craft amazing stories. It was a pleasure to work with her and know she had my back. I dont know how she does it all, but she always overdelivers.

My experience learning from Saskia has been incredibly valuable. Not only did I personally learn a ton from her extensive experience in product management leadership, but my company benefitted from her guidance as we navigated a lot of firsts as a start-up. Her insights as we navigated a tricky pricing structure were especially valuable. We were originally matched through ProductBC, but Saskia offered to stay on as my mentor going forward, going much above and beyond her initial commitment through that program. If you're matched with Saskia as a mentor, you're a very lucky person!

My experience with Yuj has been transformative. His expertise in discounted cash flow and debt modeling has significantly deepened my understanding of these critical concepts. Yuj effectively broke down complex topics into clear and manageable elements, allowing me to grasp intricate details with ease. Additionally, his emphasis on integrating financial accounting principles has provided me with a solid foundation for analyzing financial statements. This exposure has greatly enhanced my proficiency in corporate finance

Joseph was incredibly helpful throughout the business school application process. He is knowledgeable, generous with his time, and genuinely invested in your success. He goes above and beyond, offering support not just during the application phase but also after acceptance, helping me evaluate program fit and sharing valuable resources along the way. I highly recommend working with him.

Oren played an enormously important role in my MPP admissions journey. I really appreciated his commitment to helping me discover not just the focus of my essays, but really finding my voice throughout the application process. His work and insights helped me tell my narrative and story throughout my essays, helping me gain admissions to three of the four programs I applied to, including Harvard, with a total of $100k+ in scholarships. What I also appreciate about Oren is that since graduating from the program, he has kept in touch, and has really served as an important sounding board in my professional career since graduating. I cannot recommend him enough.
