We started in 7th grade to pave the way for a strong academic foundation and a strategic college admissions journey. Amelia has been an invaluable part of this process, working closely with us to plan meaningful summer activities and unique classes that made my daughter’s education both enriching and creative. These efforts not only deepened her learning but also helped her stand out in her college applications. Unlike other admissions counselors we’ve worked with, Amelia was a homeschool parent who truly understands the unique challenges and advantages of homeschooling. Her insights and tailored approach made a world of difference in navigating the college admissions process and highlighting my daughter’s strengths. Amelia has been incredibly supportive during stressful times, offering guidance and encouragement when we needed it most. She assisted us with crucial elements like the counselor letter, school profile, and transcript, ensuring everything was polished and professional. She also helped my daughter prepare for interviews and guided us in evaluating different colleges to create a balanced and strategic school list. Her extensive knowledge of college options and ability in crafting compelling essays made the process so much smoother and more successful. Thanks to Amelia’s dedication and expertise, my daughter was accepted into her dream school! We are beyond grateful for her unwavering support, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and caring college admissions counselor!

I had the privilege of being coached by Barakat during my time at Deloitte, and I can confidently say that she played a pivotal role in my career progression. Despite the challenges I faced with managers, she provided unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement, ultimately helping me secure my promotion to Consultant. What sets Barakat apart is her genuine investment in her mentees' success. She is incredibly down-to-earth, always present, and never hesitates to go the extra mile. Whether it was holding my hand through tough situations or sharing valuable resources tailored to my interests, she consistently showed up for me. Her ability to uplift, challenge, and empower those she coaches is truly remarkable. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Barakat is in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to their growth and success.

More Than a Coach—M Is a Catalyst for Clarity, Growth, and Success I’ve worked side-by-side with M for almost one decade in our MBA admissions consulting business, and we’ve lived together as life partners for over three decades. I can say without hesitation, she’s the real deal. You can see from M’s other reviews that her success rate speaks for itself, but what I’d like to share is a more personal perspective. M has this incredible ability to see the big picture and the smallest details at the same time. She helps clients make sense of their experiences, sometimes messy, non-linear, or hard to pin down and turns that into a powerful story that truly reflects who they are. Her feedback is insightful, constructive, and always grounded in care. She’ll push you, challenge you, and ask for more when it matters. But she also knows how to encourage you when you’re stuck and celebrate with you when things click. Many clients worry their background doesn’t fit the MBA mold. M is amazing at helping them see how their unique path is not only valid, but actually their greatest asset when framed with intention and clarity. Her writing and storytelling instincts are unmatched, and her commitment to each person’s success runs deep. Clients consistently say they’ve never felt so seen or supported, and I know exactly what they mean. If you're looking for a coach who’s strategic, honest, warm, and deeply invested in helping you show up as your best self, you couldn’t ask for a better coach than M.

I worked with Brian throughout my consulting recruitment process, starting in February and throughout the summer. He completely changed how I approached behavioral and casing, and I was able to receive offers from Oliver Wyman and Bain with his help.

I had a call with him without knowing him beforehand, and from the very beginning he was incredibly open, approachable, and straight to the point. He helped me structure my interview answers more effectively, especially by giving concrete examples and practical advice I could apply right away. He also provided clear tips on how to make my CV stand out and how to tailor my story to what the company is really looking for. What I appreciated the most is that he didn’t give generic advice—he took the time to understand my background and gave me personalized feedback. It’s clear he has real experience in the field and genuinely wants to help. Super useful!!!

I’ve known Shamel for five years as a close friend, and I can say without hesitation that he is one of the most thoughtful and intellectually curious people I know. Even though we come from very different academic and professional backgrounds, Shamel has consistently offered me insightful, interdisciplinary advice that has shaped the way I approach problems in my own field. He has a rare ability to bridge knowledge across domains and communicate complex ideas in a way that is both approachable and deeply informed.

Barakat was my senior for a year when we were working at Deloitte together. Even though our time together was short, she was a phenomenal senior and mentor. As I was new grad to industry and our field of work at the time, Barakat was extremely patient, calm, and empathetic as she guided and taught me through our projects. She was someone I knew I could trust and rely on, whether for professional or personal reasons, and always had incredibly insightful feedback. Even when I was contemplating pursuing graduate school, Barakat listened to my worries and provided actionable advice on how to approach the process. Words cannot express how grateful and lucky I was to have worked alongside Barakat. Although it's been a few years now, her impact on me still lasts to this day. I highly recommend Barakat as a coach -- for her intelligence, her empathy, and her drive to help others succeed.
