I'm writing this review after submitting my Stanford GSB deferred MBA application, and I definitely couldn't have done it without Ben. From the start, he listened to my story and helped me flesh out a beautiful essay outline. He was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. His edits clearly made my essays and resume stronger and more tailored to the school. But most importantly, he made me feel proud of myself and my story. As someone who doubted myself and my application, he reassured me and opened my eyes to see how good my story actually is.

Tanner's session was awesome! He gave a LOT of helpful structure when it came to the video (super ambiguous part of MIT application) as well as a great strategy for assembling the rest of the application.

Sydney played a pivotal role in preparing me for my interviews. She helped me tell my stories in compelling way that highlighted the key messages I wanted to convey to the interviewer. She was incredibly prepared and efficient with our time together. Would definitely recommend looping Sydney into your application process!

Drake was fantastic at helping me prepare for my interviews. His questions pushed me to dig deep inside myself and he gave me feedback that was instrumental in shaping the way I structured my interview answers during my real interview. Would recommend anyone meet with Drake at any stage of the application process!

Camden was very knowledgeable and informative about the Harvard essay and really helped me to solidify my ideas. He knew exactly what the admissions committee was looking for and helped me avoid some pitfalls that I am certain I would have unknowingly walked in to. I highly recommend his class!

I attended his "Write a Standout HBS Essay" class via Zoom and really enjoyed. He explained things in detailed. I took many free sessions organized by different consultants or coaches before but Camden's was more informational and right to the point. I would definitely book him as my coach if I apply to HBS.

The group class was INCREDIBLY helpful. Honestly, I was hardcore struggling to formulate thoughts around the HBS essay prompt (super ambiguous) and the group class gave me the tools, frameworks, and confidence to forge ahead!

Andrew was a pleasure to work with during my deferred mba application process. I had little to no knowledge of what these schools needed and how they wanted it - Andrew took careful time to help me rewrite my experiences into effective stories that would make the impact they needed to make. He helped me completely revamp my resume as well as my writing into M7 worthy material. I was worried given my relatively average academic record and coming from an overrepresented group of applicants but was able to come out on top and get into my dream mba program (Columbia) because he helped me form my own unique story and narrative to express in my writing and interviews. I couldn’t have done it without him and I highly recommend his consulting services for anyone interesting in applying to deferred mba programs!

I wish I would've booked Michael sooner in the process! He provided thoughtful feedback on my essays, going above and beyond what was asked. The insight he provided on Stanford GSB and the essay writing process was invaluable. He sought to understand my story and then provided valuable ways to craft my narrative. Highly recommend!

Sam is as kind and thoughtful as he is talented. Sam helped me from step one of essay brainstorming all the way through application submissions. He was patient and understanding as he pushed me to find my story and bring it to life through not only essays, but my entire application. He helped with every written requirement including any essay, short response, or even my resume. This type of coaching ensured my story was evident and cohesive throughout the entire application. From working with Sam, I now consider him a friend and mentor, and I feel incredibly grateful for his help. I truly could not have applied without him!
