Working with Mary was absolutely a game-changer in my college admissions process, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into a Top 20 university. As a former admissions officer herself, Mary knew exactly which of my experiences to highlight in my essays and how to bring my authentic voice to each one. Mary's exceptional guidance and dedication kept me organized and ahead of schedule during the busiest times of senior year, and I know I would've fallen behind without her support.

Working with Edwin was one of the best decisions I made in my MBA application process. As a Wharton MBA alum who was also admitted to Cornell, he brought a level of insider knowledge that no generic prep service can replicate. He knew what adcoms actually respond to, which schools were the right fit for my background, and how to position my story in a way that felt authentic. Edwin helped me across the board: school selection, resume, and essay drafting. On the resume, he pushed me to lead with impact and cut everything that didn't earn its place. On the essays, he helped me find the through-line in my experience that I had been too close to see myself, and then held me to a high standard on every draft until it was genuinely strong. He gives direct, honest feedback. If something isn't working, he tells you clearly and explains why. If you have a nontraditional background, need assistance with crafting a narrative that's authentic or a complex story to tell, Edwin is especially valuable. Highly recommend.

Josh was really encouraging and supporting throughout the interview process! He helped me first run an assessment case to understand where my strength and weaknesses were, and then created tailored plans for our future lessons based on that. He provided really useful resources and drills for me to practice in between our sessions and came prepared with targeted practice in our sessions. He was also very available to message in between our sessions which was really useful in my prep.

I greatly appreciate my session with James. He was super helpful and generous with his time in providing feedback on my APM presentation assignment. He was able to pinpoint what aspects were missing from my presentation and give additional context that I lacked as someone new to the process. Would highly recommend his services to anyone looking!

Neal helped me prepare for my MBA interview, and the session was incredibly useful. Running through practice questions with him gave me much more confidence going into the interview. He provided thoughtful feedback on my responses and even stayed overtime to fit in extra practice, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend booking a session with him if you want to strengthen your interviewing skills.

He was extremely knowledgeable and very encouraging and supportive during the session. He was flexible in accomodating schedule changes and clear in communication all throughout. I would definitely recommend him as a coach.

I was honestly very lost at the start of the college process, and I didn’t really know where to begin or how to navigate everything. I started working with Mary at the beginning of my junior year, and her guidance completely changed my experience. From the very beginning, she took the time to really understand me, my strengths, my weaknesses, my interests, and what I was looking for in a college. She helped me turn what felt overwhelming into something manageable, breaking down each step of the process and giving me clear direction. Whether it was building my college list, refining my essays, or preparing for interviews, she was always thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly supportive. What stood out most was how invested she was in my success. She pushed me to present the best version of myself while still making sure everything felt authentic to who I am. Her feedback was always honest but encouraging, and she made me feel confident in my abilities even during stressful moments. I truly don’t think I could have navigated this process without her. Mary not only helped me stay organized and focused, but she also made what can be an overwhelming experience feel much more manageable and even exciting at times. I’m so grateful for all of her support and guidance, and truly would 10000% recommend her to anyone and everyone who feels like the college application journey isn’t straightforward or doesn’t know where to start.

Detailed and useful feedback, even for people that have done 30 cases

I consulted Matthew on job-seeking tips in Singapore where he spent time in doing consulting projects and where he built extensive connections via professional engagement, school alumni network, etc. He brings local insights that is much beyond the general understanding of a foreign expat. During this session, Matthew made effort of understanding my situation and he tried to suggest mutual connections from his network for me to extend my networking scope. A consultant who demonstrates compassion and communication skills. Strongly recommended!
