A caring mentor and a good friend

Ian helped me so much during my prep for GSB interview. At the beginning, I was sticking to numbers and facts. He helped me to craft my story from the start and taught me how to deliver it. Wouldn't have gotten the offer without Ian!

Strong dMBA Essays and GRE Score

Avi helped boost my GRE score by 23 points from my initial diagnostic to my final test. His materials and methods were incredibly effective, and his clear, structured study plans kept me on track. Beyond test prep, Avi was so helpful in shaping my overall application strategy, ensuring every part of my application worked together to provide a compelling narrative to admissions committees. Highly recommend!!

Above and Beyond Support from Start to Finish

Working with Debby was one of the best decisions I made during my grad school application process. She guided me through every step of what can be an overwhelming and complicated journey, which ended with receiving an acceptance to UChicago! Debby was always incredibly responsive, supportive, and willing to answer all of my (many) questions. Her thoughtful guidance made me feel confident in my applications, and her warm, professional approach made the entire experience so much smoother. I’m truly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone navigating grad school admissions.

Could not have done it without Faisal!

I decided to apply for an MBA program last year having never really thought of going to business school before, and also having no close friends who had applied to business school. Faisal was super helpful in orienting me throughout the entire process - selecting schools to apply to, giving me advice on taking or re-taking the GRE, and helping me understand what the AdCom was looking for in all aspects of the application (essays, short answers, interviews) - and providing me with the information & tools I needed to succeed. As a consultant, I knew that I would need help differentiating myself from other candidates. I also was worried about my recommendation letters and relatively minimal extracurricular experience since my time in undergrad. Through Faisal’s coaching (and in particular the MBA DNA) and his own experience having come from consulting, an MBA program, and an MBA Admissions Committee, Faisal helped me tell a story that felt true and authentic, as well as effective. I appreciated how on multiple cases, he was able to give feedback that encouraged me to take a different viewpoint or angle on a certain essay response, which would help transform the essay. Finally, I really appreciated Faisal’s support throughout the 8 months together. I had some busy moments at work when I was unable to make regular progress on my essays - Faisal’s encouragement, regular check-ins, as well as his quick feedback were instrumental in helping me make sure I finished my applications on time and of a quality that I was happy with. After I received interview invites from 2 schools, Faisal helped me prepare for the interviews, and provided guidance on my responses to the pre-interview written responses that each school requested. Additionally, after receiving offers from both these schools, Faisal helped me consider the two options and advised me on the scholarship application and negotiation process. I would not have made it through this past application season without Faisal and I’m very excited to start my MBA program in the fall!

Incredibly Effective

I was accepted to the GSB, and attribute a great part of my application's success to Kerry. The themes I worked on fleshing out with Kerry were instrumental in my business school applications. Though I only worked with Kerry on one application, the advice she provided to center my story was effective in being carried out to all the schools I ended up applying to. She carries a wealth of knowledge, is kind, patient, thoughtgul and I could not recommend her enough.

Extremely Effective

I was accepted to the GSB, and attribute a great part of my interview's success to Josh. He was incredibly insightful on the types of questions that would be covered (every single one we practiced was asked by my interviewer). He went above and beyond to mimic what the interview's "archetype" would be, which actually helped me role-play for the actual interview. The feedback he provided enabled me to be even more structured, concise and substantive. The results will speak for themselves!

Effective and Clearly A Strong Expert

I was accepted to the GSB, and attribute a great part of my interview's success to Ben. He was incredibly insightful on the types of questions that would be covered (every single one we practiced was asked by my interviewer). We practiced different types of questions ranging from "story" tell me about a time questions, deep dive follow-up questions and "gotcha" curveball questions. The feedback he provided enabled me to be even more structured, concise and substantive. Ben went above and beyond spending more time than what we scheduled to ensure I was fully prepared. The recommendations he provides are targeted, tailored and truly help you shine with what the GSB is evaluating for. He is such a force to be reckoned with and I could not recommend him enough. The results will speak for themselves!

Gives Insightful Advice

When mock interviewing with Stone, he provided deep expertise over the types of questions Stanford would ask. Every question I was asked during my actual interview was covered during my mocks with Stone. As a queer student, Stone was extremely knowledgeable in helping me shape my story around the resources the GSB offered and assuring concerns I had around my identity with the interviewer. I was accepted to the GSB and owe it in large part to interviewing with Stone. Stone will make sure you are thoroughly prepared, offering advice that can be "difficult to swallow", but truly is in your best interest. He called out specific habits I had that I didn't realize I was doing, but was extremely helpful in remediating. TAKE STONE TO BE YOUR MOCK INTERVIEWER!

Want to get in, go with Ben!

Applying to MBA school is an extensive process (with lots to do properly) to tell YOUR business story to an admission committee. Ben is the best coach for you to tell that story anywhere you are at within your application deadline. You should be able to apply to a higher tier of schools as Ben WILL coach you how to get there. He is quick, compassionate, and constructive. He is the template for excellent coaching, and I'd recommend his comprehensive package as MBA cycles can be crazy and that'll give you a shot at multiple schools that are the dream schools for you!!
