I signed up for an hourly package to get targeted support on my essays. Prior to working with Cengiz, I also reached out to alums for feedback on my essays as well as worked with another consultant. But none of them were as invested in my essays as Cengiz. He'll play the devil's advocate and highlight trivial gaps in my story which often went unnoticed. This goes to show how supportive he is of the applicant's journey. Along the way, he'll also facilitate you with information about the school that he has acquired through his friends and network to craft an even stronger story. He is the best in the business when it comes to guiding and supporting applicants to B schools and I cannot recommend him enough. Quickly book a slot with him before he reaches capacity.

I have attended many workshops in my life, but the one by Chas on 'Why Stanford?' was just amazing. He takes you through various examples and then via feedback mechanism helps you understand the key ingredients required for an awesome 'Why Stanford?' essay. He also takes through an awesome visualization exercise helping you think through the required material for the essay. Overall, must-attend workshop, and Chas is someone who you should definitely take coaching from.

Cyrus has supported and has coached me in the production of my essays and recommendation letters. He really added value by providing relevant advice and constructive feedback on how to start the essay from scratch, approach the essays and what to change in them to increase the impact on the reader. He has also been very supportive and positive all over the process helping me to remain motivated.

Not only did Christian help us develop a strategy for applying/essays, but helped develop my daughter as an individual as well.

Sarah always gave great feedback and also helpful advice on how to further improve my essays. She always had a follow up or check in to make sure I was on track and really cared about my progress. Especially navigating this process as a transfer student, she was extremely helpful.

Amanda was absolutely everything my daughter needed as the final editing step in her college essays. Her advice was clear and impactful. She was kind, accommodating, and so thorough. Did I mention her quick turnaround? Do not hesitate to work with Amanda ,she was a delight!

Camden class gave an excellent overview on how to approach the Harvard essay. He shared frameworks, keys to success, and common pitfalls. Camden also allowed us to brainstorm during the class and provide real time critique and advice. I highly recommend this class.

I really enjoyed the "Why Stanford" Class. Chas provided essay examples and shared with us how to approach this essay and how to avoid common pitfalls. Reviewing and critiquing essays was extremely helpful.

I attended Sowa's "What Matter's Most and Why" Class and I highly recommend it. Sowa provided great advice and guidance on how to approach this Stanford essay. She led the class through creative exercises to brainstorm topics and taught methods to really dig deep and discover what matters most.

Orly was amazingly helpful to me!! With only a few days before two of my applications were due, she jumped in to help me edit my materials (essays, resume, and short answers) so I could put forth my best application! She provided really good suggestions on how to improve my essays and what experiences and passions of mine were the most relevant to highlight. In just a few hours, she helped me make significant improvements. She was all around really great to work with - she was extremely responsive, and I really felt like she cared and was on my team. She was also always willing to hop on a call when I was stuck, so we could work through problems together. I couldn’t recommend her enough - I wish I had met her sooner!! Plus I’ve received interview invites from both schools she helped me with so she definitely knows what she’s talking about :)
