Andrew is an excellent coach, and well worth his rate. He has deep knowledge of Bain's recruiting practices, and will share the information you need to navigate the interview processes. Highly recommend scheduling time to case, and to practice behavioral interviews!

Kerry was an incredible mentor for me through my MBA application process. Kerry is the rare admissions coach that encourages you to be your true self, without fluff or mis-representation. She is incredible at drawing insights out of you and highlighting how you can shape your life story. She helped me get into the MBA programs of my dreams!

I always thought getting into an M7 with my background (non-target college, boutique consulting firm, below avg GRE score) was impossible. Then, I met Pamela. Pamela knew exactly how to take my background and help me craft a unique story to tell Ad Comms. She began by investing time upfront to, first, genuinely get to know me —my background, interests, experiences, etc. She owns a unique template for this exercise. This step was essential in shaping an authentic and cohesive application, and it speaks to Pamela’s expertise in crafting holistic applications. Next came the most intensive component of the MBA application process — the essays. Pamela demonstrated exceptional insight in tailoring each essay to align with the unique values and expectations of the school. When I compared my initial essay draft to the final version, only about 5% remained unchanged. The rest evolved significantly through multiple iterations, detailed feedback, and Pamela’s incredibly fast editing turnaround. This goes to show how much of a role Pamela played. Then came the interview process. Though we were near the finish line, Pamela’s support did not decline. Before each interview, Pamela offered to conduct mock interviews, demonstrating deep insight into both the interview formats and the types of responses each program was seeking. Thanks to Pamela, I received offers from Booth ($$), Kellogg ($$$), CBS, and Yale ($$$$). Each step of the way, Pamela was there to provide support and encouragement. I felt like we solved every problem together and celebrated every win together.

I had a great experience connecting with Natalie for my GSB mock interview. She was very responsive and accommodating, especially given my tight schedule. What stood out most was how genuine she was—rather than simply running through a list of questions, she took the time to truly understand my stories (which is exactly what the GSB interview is about) and provide constructive feedback. I’ve worked with several different coaches for various school interviews, but Natalie was the only one who followed up afterward to check in on how my interview went. She also has a calming presence, which was invaluable to me right before the actual interview.

Geri was instrumental in helping me prepare for my HBS interview. She walked through the interview process and gave very thoughtful feedback after the mock interview. Geri also prepared a comprehensive write-up of my mock process and potential weaknesses in my profile that I should prepare for. I would not hesitate to recommend her for HBS preparations.

Drew was exceptionally thorough and insightful, offering personalized coaching that truly elevated my interview prep. He took the time to understand my story and refined my responses to ensure they were both authentic and compelling. His questions were sharp and closely aligned with what I encountered in my real interview. Drew’s feedback was always thoughtful, supportive, and actionable, making the entire process feel both structured and empowering. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier interview or application prep.

Yash provided thoughtful, personalized coaching, taking the time to understand my application and ask tailored, relevant questions. He was well-prepared, supportive, and offered insightful feedback that helped me refine my responses. His approach made the interview prep process more structured and effective, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a solid, personalized mock interview experience!

Cindy was incredibly supportive and insightful, taking a genuine interest in my story while helping me refine how I communicated it for HBS. She struck the perfect balance between authenticity and polish, ensuring my answers felt natural yet structured. Her deep industry knowledge and HBS experience made her guidance invaluable—several of her mock questions even showed up in my actual interview! I can’t recommend her enough for interview prep and wish I had worked with her on my entire application.

Avi has supported my application journey phenomenally- from GMAT prep to app essays and interview prep. His knowledge of the test and his deep experience helped imbibe confidence in me and helped me jump my score by over 30 points. I went to Avi when I was stuck at a score ceiling, and he was able to find levers and provide critical support that helped me achieve my target score. During the application phase, Avi provided specific strategies for each school, painstakingly refining each item that was submitted as part of the application. He took the time to truly understand my goals and story, even if it meant completely revising a draft! Thanks to his deep expertise, I was able to confidently submit thoroughly reviewed applications on time and prepare for interviews well in advance. His proactive management ensures you’re on top of things throughout the process. Can’t recommend Avi enough if you’re looking for a caring, honest, and trustworthy coach who will dedicate the necessary time towards your goals and ensure no stone is left unturned!

I gained so much valuable advice from the mock interview and would highly recommend that anyone preparing for the HBS MBA interview do a mock with Geri!
