I highly recommend Ms. G as an outstanding college coach. Throughout my time working with her, she has proven to be a dedicated, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful mentor who made a significant impact on my college journey. Ms. G's expertise in navigating the college admissions process was invaluable, especially during moments when I thought getting into college would be too difficult. She not only provided insightful guidance on how to enhance my application, but also offered practical advice on preparing for the challenges of college life. Her support helped me stay motivated and focused, even when I was unsure of how to move forward. What truly sets Ms. G apart is her personal commitment to each of her students. She takes the time to understand individual goals and challenges, tailoring her guidance to meet each student's needs. Her approachable nature and genuine passion for helping others succeed made me feel confident that I could achieve my dreams. Thanks to Ms. G’s expertise and unwavering encouragement, I was able to secure a place at my desired college, something I initially thought was out of reach. Her mentorship has been truly transformative, and I am incredibly grateful for her help and dedication.

Jonathan is an exemplary early-stage investor with an unparalleled affinity for not just picking winners, but actively creating success with his founders. I’ve been fortunate to work directly with him, witnessing firsthand his dexterity in managing the spectrum of stakeholders as a VC. His mastery of the craft is second only to the quality of friend and mentor he is—one whose emotional intelligence and unique insights crystallize his edge & distinguish him in the industry.

Helped me with consulting recruiting and casing interviews

INTERNATIONAL FEMALE APPLICANT ACCEPTED TO STANFORD GSB Greg is a true mentor. His knowledge and expertise were indispensable in this process. I am an aspiring tech entrepreneur from Europe. Graduated from a top-20 university in the U.S. with a major in business. I was very passionate about applying to my dream school even in the times of the utmost crisis. Working with Greg at Avanti Prep allowed me to remain on track and transformed my approach to telling my story in my essays and interview. I met Greg only a week before the application deadline, so unfortunately, did not have much chance to work together for a longer period of time. Greg reviewed each of my Stanford essays once and his feedback was incredibly valuable as I was completing my final drafts. A few weeks later, I received the invitation to interview and asked Greg if he could offer interview prep. I signed up for the 3-hour interview prep service, through which Greg worked with me for an additional hour or hour-and-a-half without extra charge over two video calls. Greg was extremely dedicated and knowledgeable about the Stanford GSB interview, and he tailored both his mock interview questions and feedback to the program and to me. Along with going through the questions and feedback, Greg essentially guided me through a self-reflection process through which I gained valuable insights about myself to use in the interview and beyond. I can’t imagine the experience being any more thorough or helpful, and he and provided advice and insights that I will be using in any interview moving forward. In both the essay reviews and interview prep, Greg invested his time and energy in understanding my story in a short amount of time. You can clearly see that Greg is dedicated and engaged – and that he has a special talent for storytelling and helping you tell your story – which allows him to offer best consulting expertise regardless of the time frame. I was so pleasantly surprised that even though we only worked together on essay reviews and interview prep, Greg came super prepared and dedicated to my success. Moreover, he is very open-minded and ready for challenges. I know well that my background was not typical for an MBA student and Greg showed me how I can turn my weaknesses into strengths. I would recommend Avanti Prep to any applicant. I am heading to Stanford GSB as a result!

I have worked with Anisha throughout my entire life and she is extremely dedicated with great work ethic. Anisha is super knowledgeable and has helped me personally with multiple challenges including school work and career advice. Anisha is always on top of things and make sure to fulfill all her commitments.

Anisha provided some great startup advice that helped me focus my effort on what actually mattered. She asked some great questions I hadn’t considered.

I worked with Shaida for a a couple of coaching sessions for my college applications. She helped me finetune my essays, provided lots of feedback, and had a very good understanding of the subjects and education/experience to overall make my essays stronger. I highly recommend her!

I had the pleasure of meeting Claudio during our Master of Laws program at the University of Toronto, and from the start, he stood out for his generosity and proactive approach. He was incredibly helpful—not only throughout the complex application process but also during the program itself—always willing to offer guidance and support. I’ve also followed his work on social media and have seen firsthand the positive impact he has on the community. With his knowledge, experience, and genuine commitment to helping others, I have no doubt that Claudio is in an excellent position to provide valuable career development coaching.

Having worked with Melanie for several projects I can definitely say with confidence that she is a legend and a beast of talent! She is the embodiment of a superwoman boss. What sets her apart from others is that she will bring a sense of humanity along with the wealth of knowledge and experience. You will not be fed BS or led astray. She is a breath of fresh air in these modern types where you pay companies and get the bare minimum who are going through the motions of a checklist. I cannot say enough how much value she brings to the table and anyone would be lucky to gain access to her services.

As an international student in India, I was struggling to figure out how to present myself effectively to US admissions committees. My GPA wasn't directly comparable to the American system, and I felt overwhelmed. Siddhi fully changed my approach. She helped me develop a strong application package that was focused less on test scores and on other areas that mattered. Siddhi has a real gift for understanding what makes students stand out. She guided me in improving my storytelling and communication skills and to explain my experiences and perspective in a way that was real to me. She didn't try to change who I am. The essays we developed together were exceptional—so much stronger and more representative of my personality than anything I could have written on my own. Thanks to Siddhi's guidance, I was accepted to several top, highly competitive universities—schools I honestly didn't think I had a chance at. I'm certain that without her coaching and the powerful essays we created, I wouldn't have gotten into my top-choice schools. If you're an international student looking to improve your application and tell your story effectively, I highly recommend Siddhi. She's an excellent coach who is truly invested in her students' success."
