Marie is an exceptional GMAT tutor. From the moment I first met her, I intuitively knew that I was working with someone who struck that perfect balance between mathematical ingenuity and teaching ability. I was referred to Marie by an admissions specialist after being unsatisfied with a generically assigned tutor from Varsity. Marie immediately analyzed my needs, crafted a rigorous curriculum, and refreshed me on the fundamentals I needed in order to score in the 700s on the GMAT. She taught me a completely different way of thinking about math— a few weeks in, she had me dreaming about prime numbers at night. Marie is brilliant, fascinating to work with, and also downright hilarious. Though I dread math, I always looked forward to our sessions because I liked her so much and wanted to make her proud! She was the first person I called when I got my test results, and the second person I called when I got accepted to my dream school. I walked away with a top GMAT score, an acceptance letter, and a friend to visit in the Azores.

Laura was a great asset to me as I went through the MBA application process. Her feedback on my draft essays with recommendations on how to make my story relevant, informative and impactful were absolutely critical to the process, and helped me land an admit to UCLA Anderson. I would absolutely recommend Laura’s service to anyone going through this process, and assure you that it will be an investment well worth your time and money.

If it were not for Laura, getting admitted to a top MBA program would have remained a distant dream. As a candidate from an over-represented background in the Bay Area, I was not sure whether I had any chance at any of the top programs. It was important to distinguish myself from other applicants. This is where Laura's services were extremely valuable. Through thoughtful analysis of my background, she came up with great suggestions on how to put my best foot forward. After my initial conversation with her, I gained confidence and engaged in a brainstorming session. The brainstorming session helped me come up with the content for my essays. She made me think about certain episodes in my life and professional career that I would have never thought about in the first place. Through meaningful criticism and comments, Laura helped solidify the content for my essays into compelling stories. Apart from essays, Laura also helped me with the interview process, a crucial step in the application process. In the end, I received acceptance letters from the top two schools that I had applied to. I enthusiastically recommend Laura to anyone applying to business school. She will make sure that your application stands out and that it tells your best story.

As a non-traditional MBA applicant, Laura's advice was invaluable. Laura helped me identify the best examples from my background to include in my application materials. With her assistance, I molded these leadership stories into great essays that emphasized my strong transferable skills. Her support was essential to my admission into a top MBA program. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone applying to top MBA programs--especially candidates with more unusual backgrounds. She will help you build the best case for your admission.

Laura provided structure and direction around the goals that led me to business school. She complemented my stories with insightful tips and a sound strategy to help me share who I was with the universities. Her advice was targeted and personalized to the aspirations I shared with her. Upon completion of working with Laura Nelson, I not only had acceptance letters from multiple top ten business schools, but also a clearer understand of why I wanted to make this life change.

My experience working with Sachin was quite good. I found he was very good at helping me dig deeper into my reflections on important experiences and find the right examples to illustrate a given point. I’m a fairly strong writer on my own, but I feel that without that extra push, I would have had a harder time choosing stories and positioning myself optimally for the audience – namely a business school admissions committee. Part of the reason I chose to work with Sachin was because sometimes I can be indecisive on important decisions like this – if I was ever between 2 topics or examples, he was able to help me feel comfortable choosing one and moving on. He was also incredibly accessible – always confirming receipt of my material by EOD sent and indicating when they would be returned with feedback (mostly 1-2 days). He was also very willing to help me beyond essays – helping me finalize my school list, connecting me with students at schools where I didn’t know people, and deciding to do an optional essay for my GMAT score. I enjoyed working with him and trusted his advice. I believe that Sachin helped me put my best foot forward and early outcomes are optimistic (interviews at HBS, Haas, Kellogg).

My experience working with Sachin was excellent. I chose him because I thought he stood out from the other consultants at other companies that I spoke with, and I thought he could really help me improve my essays. And he delivered! I'm very happy with the results (got in to Kellogg MMM and Booth). I've already recommended him to another prospective client. Strengths: His strength is definitely in the essay department - both in helping me generate ideas and shape content. Also, when I first spoke to him - this sounds funny to write - he seemed to really listen to what I saying, which stands in contrast to the other consultants I spoke with. So, listening would be another strength of his. He also was very fast in turning around essay edits over email.

Willie’s guidance and feedback improved my application essays well beyond expectations. His efforts were instrumental in securing acceptance to my dream school, Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management. I offer my highest possible recommendation!!

Willie was a great advisor during the stressful business school application process. He provided me the feedback that friends and family couldn't or wouldn't. I was applying as a traditional consultant applicant and felt well prepared for the application process, but I asked Willie to review my essays. I was shocked when an essay I thought was ready for submission came back with significant feedback. Six months later it has become clear why he provided that feedback and I know that this feedback made a difference for me getting into Wharton and Kellogg. I would highly recommend him to anyone applying to M7 schools.

Laura provided critical tips and counseling during the essay brainstorming, editing, and interviewing stages. I was very proud of the final product and confident that I had maximized my efforts. Throughout the process, Laura's extensive experience and knowledge proved invaluable. Ultimately, I was admitted into Wharton, and recommend this service to anyone looking to apply for an MBA - it will make the process and your life easier.
