I had the pleasure of working with Sam earlier this summer. It was the first time that I had ever used an MBA admissions coach, and he was extremely informative when we first met. He primarily helped me craft my essays for Stanford, HBS, and Haas. His process was methodical, and he asked all the right questions to really make you think about what matters most to you. He made the whole process seem fun and effortless. I could not have asked for a better coach to help me with my essays! He was also extremely knowledgeable about all of the other aspects of the application, and he answered every question that I threw at him. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for an MBA coach! I know I will be using him again before I submit my second-round applications!

I can’t recommend Tim highly enough. I came to the MBA process with a non-traditional background—after law school, I took time off before pivoting into management consulting—and knew I’d need to make a compelling case to admissions committees. In fact, another consultant told me I’d be lucky to get into a part-time evening program. From our first conversation, Tim saw my background as a strength, not a liability. He brought both deep expertise and genuine enthusiasm to the process, and I felt supported every step of the way. He helped me craft an authentic, compelling “why MBA” narrative, tailor my essays to each school, and prepare thoroughly for interviews. I’ll be attending Columbia Business School this fall with a full-tuition scholarship, and I’m confident that outcome is due in large part to Tim’s guidance.

Faisal is such a helpful resource during what is an extremely stressful time for a prospective MBA applicant. I was pretty anxious throughout the whole process of applying to MBA schools. Was my story compelling? Was I highlighting the right experiences and things in my essays? Was my tone correct? These are questions I could never really quite answer. However, with Faisal as a coach, you can get those answers. With his experience on an M7 admissions committee, you can trust his feedback. His comments and suggestions go a long way to reduce that anxiety and stress. His comments are never fluff, they’re all impactful and you can see the value just an hour can bring on improving your essays. Simply put, I couldn’t recommend him enough. I would not have gotten the outcomes I did without Faisal’s help and guidance.

Olutosin was excellent to work with throughout the application process. He gave great insights into each aspect of the applications and provided helpful feedback on how to craft impactful stories that highlight a candidate's strengths and ambitions. He was also very responsive and truly maximized the time we had. Overall, I would certainly recommend Olutosin as a great advisor and source of feedback to anyone who is looking to submit the best version of their application.

We’re really grateful for all the help and support Devery gave my son during his college application journey. With Devery’s guidance, he got into several great schools, including some Ivy League universities. The whole process was a lot of work, but Devery’s advice and encouragement made it much smoother and less stressful. We truly appreciate the time and effort invested, and would definitely recommend Devery to any family going through college admissions.

Annika was very knowledgable about HEC Paris and was able to help me best frame my story and settle on topics for my essays

I was very hesitant at first about working with an admissions consultant, but partnering with Betsy turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for both my essays and my resume. She has a real gift for drawing out parts of my story that I didn't even realize were meaningful and helping me see my own experiences in a new light. Through her guidance, I felt genuinely proud of my essays and confident that I was putting my most authentic self and strongest foot forward. Betsy is also tough, and her feedback can be difficult at times, but that is ultimately what showed me how much she cared. She didn't just push me to improve my writing; she pushed me to rethink how I carry myself, how I present my story, and how I own my accomplishments. As someone who struggles with imposter syndrome, she made a lasting impact on me & pushed me to dream big. My experience was incredibly positive, and I was admitted to every program I applied to with scholarship offers. Betsy and I still keep in touch, and I now genuinely consider her a friend.

Lulu is an amazing college counselor and was incredibly helpful throughout the admissions process! At first, I felt very lost when it came to writing my essays and developing an effective strategy. Through multiple sessions, she helped me build a clear narrative and present myself authentically in my writing to colleges.

Maya is amazing! She helped me through the entire essay process for my MBA application. She was incredibly sharp at spotting the weak points in my drafts and showed me exactly how to highlight my strengths for the admissions committee. Her feedback was always quick and straight to the point, which saved me so much time and energy.

John was available at a very short notice - literally 2 days before my interview. He helped me mock prep and followed up with all the feedback. The qs he asked were very similar to my actual interview. later, I was placed on waitlist and he helped me design my strategy and thinking process. Thank you for all the advice !
