Great coach to work with

Thanks to Laura, I was accepted to 2 out of 4 schools with large scholarships! Why working with Laura was such a pleasure? 1. Polished essays – She makes sure that the essays are nothing short from great. The essays went back and forth so many times that sometimes the final essays are completely different from the original essay. It took a lot of time and effort but that’s what it takes to get in to your reach schools. 2. Quick response - I sent her last-minute scholarship essays and she was able to review them in time. I am an international applicant but never had a problem communicating with her despite the time difference. I recommend working with Laura to anyone aiming for top MBA schools! I am excited to attend INSEAD this fall.

Laura is an expert coach!

Laura is a true professional who is extremely detail oriented, flexible, and an expert in her field. I do not think I would have been able to be accepted into my dream MBA program of choice without her assistance.

Laura is definitely the best!

I worked with Laura on my MBA application and she is definitely the best! Besides fast feedback and patience, she is professional, open to any question and good at inspiring me to help me explore my strength and stories. I could not recommend her more to applicants who would like to look for a great consultant on school applications.

I highly recommend working with her

Working with Laura Nelson was an absolute pleasure! She was very responsive and provided great suggestions/guidance all the way through the application process. I would highly recommend working with her. I ended up getting into my top choice MBA program (among others) and I landed a sizable scholarship as well. Well worth the hourly rate!

Detail Oriented and Great Team Player

Laura and I worked together on 4 business schools and I got admitted into 2 of the 4 with a substantial fellowship from one. We made a great team!! Laura was very clear in the aspects she could help me with and was always a pillar of support as I put together my application. She effortlessly brought out my stories and helped me highlight the experiences that were unique and interesting in my essays. Coming from an over represented pool of applicants, this aspect seemed most important. She paid lots of attention to the details in my essays. There were several points where I doubted parts of my content. At these points, she would ask me the right questions, kindling my experiences and helped me stay on track. She encouraged me to try new ideas and themes for my essays and was ready with feedback in less than two days. Her quality and quick feedbacks really helped turn in my applications well before the deadlines. We also tried some mock skype interview sessions and these really made the interview experiences a breeze. I am so glad I got to work with her and so grateful to her for making my MBA dream come true!!

Worth Every Penny!

Laura was such a help in crafting my story and guiding me throughout the whole admissions process. She works really fast and communicates extremely well. I relied on her most for editing my essays and asking for advice. I couldn't have done it without her. Worth every penny. You won't regret working with her.

Laura was the exact consultant I needed

Laura was the exact consultant I needed – honest, supportive, reliable, and an expert with the Business School application process. From our first call to my last essay draft, Laura was there throughout the entire journey. At the beginning, Laura spent significant time understanding who I was and what I wanted to accomplish. This is one of the reasons Laura was able to really help me bring out the best in my stories and applications. Additionally, she was very responsive and always made time for a phone call. Lastly, she could always find a way to reduce word count while maintaining the idea! I am beyond pleased with the results and want to thank Laura for helping me successfully navigate through this challenge.

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!

Laura is absolutely fantastic! I went into the application process with a GMAT score I wasn’t thrilled about, so I knew I needed to make my application stand out as much as possible. Throughout the application process, Laura challenged me every which way and helped me tailor my resume and essays to showcase my strengths. Not only was I admitted to multiple programs, but I also received scholarship funds. I know for a fact that I would not have been as successful if I hadn’t worked with Laura. You can have the best resume and experience in the world, but if you don’t frame it correctly, you can leave things on the table. The last thing I’ll say is I searched and met with multiple application consultants before finally selecting Laura as the person I wanted to work with. From my experience, many consultants are just worried about taking your money and don’t truly care if things work out for you. This is not the case with Laura. I could tell she cared from day one and was going to be a true partner in my application journey. The application process is not something to be taken lightly and having Laura on your team is something I strongly recommend.
