Andrew really helped me out a lot by doing a real deferred MBA interview with me. He gave me detailed feedback specific to me after and also shared his own experience in the process and some previous questions we could expect as well as how to prep for them.

Erik truly understands the HBS and GSB application processes. Great coach - would recommend.

Chas provided an exceptional level of thoughtfulness and support in helping me shape my story. From the start, he invested time in understanding my background, experiences, and passions, ensuring the best possible presentation. His commitment to my success was evident through his meticulous feedback on my resume and essays, delivered promptly. I am truly grateful to have worked with Chas throughout my deferred MBA application process!

I worked with Andrew on 5 school applications. He is able to put himself in my shoes and understand my situation and enhance everything really nicely. You won't go wrong with Andrew!

I approached Brennen with less than a month before my first application deadline. He did an amazing job at getting me kicked off quickly by asking pointed questions about my experience, background and ambitions. He helped me think about things from a different, valuable perspective. I think where Brennen was perhaps the most valuable was on essay reviews. He's an expert with grammar, writing, and essay structuring. As my essays evolved each version was stronger than the last. He also provided significant help polishing my resume and making it application friendly.

I could not have asked for a more dedicated, savvy, caring coach. Brennen has a wealth of knowledge about the MBA Admissions journey and an intimate understanding of the subtle differences between individual programs, what AdComs are looking for, and how to capitalize in applications. Brennen was extremely reliable and consistently provided insightful feedback and suggestions in everything from resume to essay drafts. As a military applicant, he provided an amazing litmus test for me to gauge whether I was effectively translating/communicating my military experience in a way AdComs would understand. If you are looking for an incredible coach at unbeatable value, Brennen is your guy!

Dione was so helpful during my deferred MBA application process. I contacted her about 1-1.5 weeks before my applications were due, and she was incredibly detailed and quick in her feedback. What I loved most about Dione was that she didn't alter my story -- instead, she helped me shape my narrative into a stronger version of itself. She is incredibly insightful and knowledgeable about the various schools and their processes, and I cannot recommend her enough. In many ways, my profile was quite ordinary -- IB/consulting after graduating from an undergraduate state school, GMAT below GSB's median, and an average background (demographics, upbringing, etc...). However, through Dione's incredible advice and honesty, I was able to shape a narrative which led to my acceptance into GSB's deferred MBA program! I am so thrilled and owe much of my success to Dione's help. She is definitely THE consultant to work with, especially considering her admissions board experience. As an anecdote, before working with Dione, I previously booked 1 hour with a student consultant who was admitted into GSB. The difference in value and insight between the student consultant and Dione (who has admissions experience) was night and day. Definitely go with Dione!

I worked with Andrew at the last minute to ask for resume & essay reviews and editing. It was a Saturday, but he finished editing and reviewing my essays right away and scheduled calls. I received one interview from an M7 school now, and I am waiting for more. In conclusion, Andrew is for sure a great mentor to work with!

I came into the process somewhat skeptical of the value a coach could provide; but Sachin's perspective and tactical coaching proved to be well-worth both the time and money invested, in my opinion. He helped me 1) determine that I even had a shot based on my resume and scores + provided realistic odds of getting into the various tiers of schools, 2) identify the weaker points of my application so that I could bolster them, 3) identify the right recommenders, 4) validate my thinking about the right experiences to highlight throughout my essays and resume and 6) prepare for my interviews. With him as my guide, I felt supported and confident that I was truly putting my best foot forward through the admissions process. Would highly recommend.

Debby has an unmatched knowledge and understanding of the graduate school admissions process. She is prompt, professional, and detail-focused in every aspect of her craft. As a professional with an unpredictable day-to-day working schedule, Debby always showed flexibility in her availability. I truly felt as if Debby was invested in my success as a graduate school applicant. If you are contemplating graduate school admissions, I would highly recommend working with Debby!
