Another coach recommended Micheal to me, and I am so glad he did! Micheal works with so much joy and commitment to his work. I just recently submitted my application to the Schwarzman Scholars Program and Micheal's coaching really enlightened me on storytelling in application essays. He pushed me to bringing the best that I could offer in my essays and I know this will carry me into the future. Micheal is just that Coach!!

I can’t recommend Steve enough! He really helped me figure out the best themes to write about and showed me how to make my essays stronger and more effective. His advice was super practical, and he made the whole process feel a lot less stressful. I came out with essays I feel really proud of, and I know they’re much stronger thanks to him. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for thoughtful, strategic support on their applications.

Michael is all-in on your best work. He pushes you to your potential and sweats every detail of the application. He challenged and sharpened my thinking, making sure my Schwarzman Scholars materials were not only my strongest but also true to me. He pairs a keen eye for narrative and structure with genuine commitment, turning scattered thoughts into a clear, compelling story. His feedback is precise and actionable. In the final sprint he course-corrected me at a very crucial time, and I’m genuinely grateful for that. Michael is my first-choice coach for any graduate program application and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Working with Michael on my Schwarzman Scholarship application was an excellent experience. He quickly understood my background, highlighted my strengths, and helped me shape my story with clarity and impact. His feedback was sharp, actionable, and encouraging, which made the process much smoother. I'd highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for thoughtful, professional support on competitive applications.

Prior to meeting Michael, I never thought I’d be the type to pay for mentorship. But after hearing him speak during an info session, I knew he was the real deal. When I started my application, I had so many scattered ideas — Michael helped me pull them together into a clear, compelling story, and it turned into some of the best materials I’ve ever written. Beyond coaching, he’s a genuinely supportive person and ALWAYS available (literally even at 2am — sorry Michael!). Working with Michael not only elevated my application, it also opened my eyes to the power of great mentorship :)

I had the opportunity to work with Michael while preparing my Schwarzman Scholar application. His flexibility, insightful feedback, and encouragement were invaluable throughout the process. Michael’s expertise not only strengthened my application but also gave me the confidence to present my story effectively. I am grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone navigating a competitive application process.

I started working with Michael pretty late in the game and he showed up and showed out! He was effective in laying out an approach that worked for our timeline and then following through with support and check-ins all the way to the finish line. I'm grateful for his attention to detail and the moral support in a stressful crunch time!

Michael really went above and beyond reviewing my application. His feedback was detailed and super helpful, and he helped me shape my ideas so they actually made sense. Because of him, I feel like I gave this application my best shot.

I hired Michael as a coach for my Schwarzman application. I am so thankful I made this decision, as he transformed my application. Whether it was helping with identifying my story/pitch, editing my resume, collecting recommendation letters, and tweaking short essays, Michael always delivered with professionalism, immense knowledge and skill, punctuality, and genuine empathy. I was confident and proud after submitting my application, and I know I would have felt lost and unsure without Michael's help. Even if I don't become a Schwarzman Scholar, I will still be glad I worked with Michael, as he helped me build my story and know myself, preparing me for future applications and goals.

Skyler was a fantastic partner in MBA application prep. From providing deep feedback on materials to helping draw out my story in more detail, his attention and consideration were high quality and made a huge difference in my confidence and preparedness. In addition, Skyler was well-versed in how social sector professionals can frame their experience in a way that B School adcoms can understand, which is key if you're coming from a non-traditional background! Would highly recommend Skyler to anyone considering MBA coaching - five stars all around.
