Very supportive and attentive
Becky was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive throughout my deferred MBA application process. She tailored each session to my specific circumstances and helped with everything from essays and interview preparation to financial aid concerns. Her guidance was instrumental in helping me secure a deferred admission offer from Columbia Business School, as well as interviews at HBS and Wharton. I highly recommend Becky, especially to anyone navigating the MBA application process for the first time.

Extremely Responsive and Supportive
From the very beginning, Connor took a genuinely personalized approach to working with me. He made sure to listen carefully to all of my thoughts and ideas before suggesting what he felt would be the best strategy for my applications. One of the most helpful things we created together was a “story matrix,” where we mapped out my past experiences and matched them to specific essays for each of the five universities I was applying to. This was honestly such a genius idea because it gave me so much clarity on what stories I could tell and where they would fit best. We even came up with backup stories in case, while writing the first draft if I felt that a different experience worked better. Connor’s feedback throughout the drafting process was incredibly valuable. He helped me level up every essay while still making sure they sounded like me and reflected my real personality, rather than feeling overly polished or generic. We worked together over several months for around 20 hours in total, and throughout the entire process, he was incredibly accommodating with every request. I genuinely loved working with him and couldn’t have asked for a better coach to guide me through my grad school applications. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! 100/100

Can't recommend Chichi enough!
What made Chichi an outstanding coach was not just her broad & in-depth knowledge of programs, her surgical feedback process or her structured approach to application planning-- it was her encouragement. It was infused into every part of the process. She's a coach who believes in her clients and will support them in achieving their goals!

Objection! This isn’t your voice—what drove one splitter to T14
When I met with Raha, I had been unsuccessful at finding the person who would be as excited as I was about why I am going to law school. Admission experts advised I set a reasonable expectation. I was a splitter. As a non-traditional applicant, however, I believed my story would merit serious consideration if I owned my narrative and law schools actually reviewed holistically. I believed law schools did. Raha approached the early foundational sessions, “Who is David?”, with curiosity and asked thoughtful questions to understand where I was coming from. Through her articulation of the life I lived—systems-thinker seeking harmony—I felt invigorated to portray that in my writing. My early drafts, however, often curated to what I thought law schools would want to hear. I would highlight one aspect while removing others, which then led me to revise another. In those times, she pushed back and reminded me to stay close to my narrative backbone. Amidst self-doubt, I realized I needed someone who not only would proofread, but also hold me to a standard. As a result, I told my story. In any cycle, law schools want to hear from you, and you need to make yourself heard. But because life experience is often complex, you need to be strategic about what you choose to highlight—and Raha is as strategic a coach as she is an authentic person. I’m headed to a T10 law school. But this success is merely the cherry on top to a much weightier lesson I internalized through Raha’s coaching—stay true to yourself—a lesson I hope readers will take with them as well.

Great MBA Coach
Dione was a fantastic MBA coach! I had two years of consulting experience and applied in Round 3. She helped me with both my essays and interview preparation. Throughout the process, Dione was responsive, supportive, and thoughtful, and she provided valuable feedback and advice that strengthened my application. I'm grateful for her guidance, and I'm excited to share that I was admitted to both Columbia Business School and Chicago Booth with merit-based scholarships. I highly recommend working with Dione!

Got Into Booth and Kellogg PTMBA with Scholarship
Kerry helped me strengthen my essays and resume and guided me throughout the application process. I was admitted to both Booth and Kellogg’s part-time MBA programs and received a $40,000 scholarship from Booth, which is especially rare for a part-time MBA. Her guidance made a real difference.

David Changed my Life [Kellogg Acceptance, Haas Admit]
David is an absolute gem who has significantly altered the trajectory of my professional life. I screened several coaches before choosing him, even at a much higher price point, and knew right away that he genuinely feels compelled to help people, which shot through others' disconnected optimism. I could trust my gut with David in a way that was far more important in my application process than any pedigree or word salad another coach had to offer. I could tell he actually wanted to get to know who I was, which enabled us to dig deep to discover my potential and align it with what actually works for these programs. I came to him 2-3 weeks before the deadlines for top deferred MBA programs, completely desperate and unconfident because my background made no sense at first (profile: over-represented majority, attended multiple undergrads, faced severe mental health challenges, had no experience at known companies, no full-time job lined up, and test scores barely on the threshold). Under an incredible time crunch, he helped me craft the many, many sides of my life I had no way of seeing on my own that demonstrated my growth through college, portraying me as a high-potential candidate with many unique attributes to offer these schools. All I saw was someone who was desperately trying to graduate, and I could not see a single thread through any of it. As it turns out, all of the experiences I belittled in my mind were exactly the things that David would drill down on to really uncover the truth about - my core narratives that made me desirable to these programs. I would never have been able to do it without someone who genuinely cared to learn about me. To my absolute amazement, I received my first interview invite from Columbia. David then, once again, trained me into an absolute interview weapon - arming me with skills and a genuine understanding of my stories and fit for these programs that I completely lacked before working with him, gaining confidence from him, and becoming more comfortable in my own skin. I am ultimately walking away committed to Kellogg, along with an acceptance to Haas, and I could not be more grateful.

Invaluable Stanford GSB Interview Support
I had a mock interview with Dione ahead of my Stanford GSB interview, and I was very grateful that she was willing to help at such short notice. She immediately put me at ease and shared thoughtful, practical advice that proved very useful in helping me convert my Stanford GSB interview, as well as subsequent interviews at other schools. As a Stanford GSB alum, it was clear that she had a deep understanding of the school and knew exactly how to support someone hoping to gain admission. Thank you for the support, Dione!

Simply the best
Felt incredibly supported and guided throughout the entire process. From recommendation prep packets, to essay brainstorming and revising, to interview prep, Andy was truly there every step of the way. He provided constructive feedback, which may have been difficult to hear at times (but was much needed) and was consistently the greatest cheerleader and coach anyone could ask for. No matter what my question or concern was, Andy was always available to answer and discuss. Even when, initially, I didn't think I had a fascinating story to tell, Andy worked to help me discover a powerful narrative that was true to me. Can't recommend him enough!!!
