"Ashley is awesome. She is thoughtful, insightful, and made a real effort to be supportive / helpful both in preparing me for my interview and in making sure I was confident. It would be easy to tell me where I could improve alone, but Ashley stepped back and made sure I also got some affirmation of my strengths and helped me contextualize my interview within my broader application. I would recommend her to all applicants and especially to those interested in the GSB. I got accepted to the GSB and HBS and I credit Ashley with helping me feel confident, grounded, and strategic as I entered those interviews. Thank you, Ashley!"

"I am truly grateful for the invaluable assistance provided by Charles throughout my college admission process. Before Charles began helping me, I felt overwhelmed and lost in the complex college application journey. However, he offered structured guidance at every step of the way, which greatly boosted my confidence and sense of control. He encouraged me to engage in deep self-reflection, helping me craft essays that were deep and personal. Charles provided me with highly personalized feedback, clearly investing substantial time and effort into reviewing my essays and application materials. I wholeheartedly recommend Charles' services. Thanks to his support, I received offers from institutions like UChicago, Columbia, UPenn, Cornell, and others."

"I highly recommend working with Mattijs. I had previously only cased with classmates and the feedback that I received from Mattijs was far more detailed, nuanced, and pointed than anything else I've received. He walked me through each step of the case interview and gave me actionable recommendations on how to sharpen each area. These coaching sessions were incredibly valuable."

"I worked with Prabha to put the "finishing touches" on my product management interview preparation. Prior to meeting with Prabha, I had completed over 70 mock interviews, but was looking to get that extra edge. Prior to interviewing with Microsoft, Meta, and JP Morgan (I had all of these interviews in one week), I felt prepared, but I knew there were little ways I could improve my skills and become a standout. I booked my first 3 interviews with Prabha to focus on interviewing at Meta for the RPM program, but her expertise seamlessly translated to my interviews with Microsoft and JP Morgan. After I received offers from Microsoft and JP Morgan, as well as an invitation for the final round for Meta's RPM program, I decided to go for it and get a little more coaching with Prabha. I firmly believe working with Prabha gave me the edge I needed to secure an offer for the RPM program. While I did a lot of work before getting her coaching, Prabha is clearly an expert at all levels of Product Management mock interviewing"

"I found working with David to be a dream! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire gamut of management consulting recruiting at MBA programs. Through several sessions with David, I gained REALLY TACTICAL insights into how to approach: (1) networking; (2) developing generalizable approaches to structuring and exhibit clearing; (3) improving overall succinctness during the case interview. I cannot recommend David enough: he was an absolute joy to work with, and will be an indispensable partner for all those that were as nervous/anxious about the recruiting process as I was. Thank you David!!!!"

She gives extremely actionable feedback, asks excellent follow-up questions, and prepares you well for any PM interview that comes your way. I highly recommend Nina to anyone looking to break into Product Management."

"I worked with Olutosin on a mock interview. He was incredibly friendly and approachable - perfectly simulating the experience that I will have and helping me get in the zone for the interview. The questions he asked were well-researched and emblematic of the HBS Interview, and I was impressed by the shear number he generated tailored to my background. Furthermore, his feedback was specific, clearly communicated, and helpful to understand and act upon. Definitely more than 5/5."

After using other prep sites (TTP and Magoosh), I was feeling stuck, but Avi met me exactly where I was and helped me refine my approach.

"Chas is an exceptionally effective coach, and that even feels like an understatement. The MBA process is a rollercoaster, but Chas' approach, templates, examples, and guidance made it all so much more manageable. He is incredibly insightful and did a phenomenal job distilling down vast amounts of information and helping me tell my story in a unique way that felt true to me. He went above and beyond our entire time working together, making himself available for even the littlest of questions, providing unwavering support as we worked through countless essay drafts, and encouraging me throughout. Chas is a game changer in the MBA process. He elevated my application and essays way beyond what I could have imagined, and I couldn't have done it without him."

"Dione is the best admissions consultant I could have ever asked for. To give context, I applied as a deferred admit to the Stanford GSB. I had worked with other GSB admits to brainstorm and draft my essays. I specifically looked for a professional coach with high reviews, strong writing experience, and affiliation with the GSB. Dione excelled in all these areas. I started working with her after deciding on schools and writing my essays, hoping to refine my application and ensure it showcased my best self. Although I was skeptical since I'd never worked with a professional admissions consultant before, Dione exceeded all expectations in terms of professionalism and the value she provided. Dione's guidance was incredibly specific, thorough, and actionable. She provided detailed feedback on my essays, highlighting areas for improvement that I hadn't considered, and offered strategic advice on how to present my experiences and goals in the most compelling way – particularly for my "Why Stanford?" essay. Despite my subpar GMAT and GRE scores, she helped me highlight my strengths through my essays and craft an optional statement to address my lower scores. When I landed the interview, Dione's coaching and preparation strategies were top-notch, giving me the confidence to excel. I cannot recommend Dione enough – from my essays to my interview preparation, and instilling confidence in me throughout the process, I would not be attending the GSB without her!"

"During my application for the Schwarzman Scholars program, Michael's feedback was really critical in making my short essays stood out, which ultimately helped me landed the fully funded scholarship. Following my conversations with him, he guided me to identify my unique personal story, link my experiences to impact, and make use of each element of my application to connect to the core visions of the program. I would not have truly considered applying to the program without his encouraging words. Not only does he have a strategic mindset, but he also made me believe in my success."

"I worked with Karthik for about two months leading up to my consulting interviews and can’t stress enough how helpful our sessions were in my preparation process.  There are two primary aspects of Karthik’s coaching that make him exceptional at what he does.  First, the tangible: he has deep expertise in case interviews and his background speaks for itself. He knows both the art and the science behind a successful case, and can quickly identify his clients' strengths and weaknesses, allowing him to provide effective feedback.  Second, the intangible: Karthik meets his clients where they are in terms of skills and knowledge, and he truly cares about their success.  After our first few cases together, Karthik had crystalized a hypothesis about where my strengths lied and what areas I’d need to work extra hard to improve.  He then formulated a game plan with me and helped me strengthen my weak points while fine tuning the areas in which I excelled.  He selected practice cases that helped me hone my skills and provided thoughtful and detailed feedback after each case. He also set aside time for some skills-based sessions (e.g., an hour spent purely on frameworks or behavioral prep). Finally, Karthik is extremely professional but also approachable, and always comes prepared and excited to work together.  I cannot recommend Karthik enough for anyone who is looking for coaching - you will not regret it."

"Working on my application with Michael has been the best experience. Before reaching out to him, I had almost given up applying to grad school however since the start he reassured me and helped me own my story and write an application I felt confident about. First, what stood out was how he made me feel comfortable to share my story. I used to feel so afraid to share my work with others till Michael coached me. He allowed me to articulate myself without rushing and just be myself. I appreciate that he took the time to get to know me and what I have done and used that to give specific suggestions for my application. Secondly, he would compliment my essays nicely and acknowledged my efforts, which motivated me to go on and not give up. But don't get me wrong, he was very thorough in reviewing my work. Third, I loved that he answered all my questions even when I thought they were silly, he would expound more and help me understand. I never for once felt I was alone on the journey. Michael is simply the best."
