Alex is the best! I still cannot believe I got an admit to the Stanford MSx program. Without Alex, I do not think I would have gotten there. From the beginning, he went through my background, experiences, and stories and advised me on how to be strategic. I also got Alex's help with reviewing my recommendation letter and even my recommender spoke highly of Alex. He did many decent editing on my essays and my recommendation letter. When I received the interview, Alex also helped me with mock interview prep and gave me detailed feedback. He is very patient and he knows what he is doing! I would highly recommend Alex!

I am very grateful for Kerry Patriarca’s exceptional work as my MBA application advisor. It is with her guidance and support that I have secured a spot at my top choice business school (a top 7 school). From the outset, Kerry's expertise and deep knowledge of the business school admissions landscape were apparent. She took the time to understand my unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals, and provided me with invaluable insights into the application process. Her strategic approach and attention to detail helped me craft a compelling application that showcased my best attributes. Throughout the process, Kerry was a constant source of support and encouragement. She responded promptly to my questions and concerns and provided me with valuable feedback on my application materials. I felt confident and prepared throughout the entire process, thanks to her guidance. In addition to her exceptional work as an application advisor, Kerry also introduced me to my excellent GMAT instructor. Her network of contacts and industry insights were truly impressive, and I am incredibly grateful for the resources she connected me with. Her ability to identify and connect her clients with the best resources available is truly remarkable. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Kerry's services to anyone looking to gain admission to a top business school. She is a consummate professional, a strategic thinker, and a pleasure to work with. Her expertise and guidance were truly invaluable, and I am deeply grateful for all of her efforts on my behalf.

Pam is an exceptionally competent MBA advisor. At the end of the day, she knows what she is doing, and trusting her gained me admittance to my first choice school, Wharton. She is reasonable and responsive. When we disagreed on a certain point she was always respectful and truly wanted to understand where I was coming from. I am from a non-traditional background and she was extremely encouraging and embraced my uniqueness. This was a stark contrast to some of the other consultants I interviewed. Pam is the perfect combination of pragmatic and encouraging and I couldn't recommend her more!

Alsey was hugely instrumental in strategizing for my application essays and in prepping for interviews and more, but she also was a huge cheerleader through it all. She instilled so much confidence in me and quelled my imposter syndrome. Her kind and energetic personality paired with her strong track record and career makes her the best to work with. She’s has an incredible network thanks to her stellar reputation and has effectively connected me with impressive, helpful folks. I’m so grateful to have met her!

I cannot overstate how helpful and accessible Alsey was throughout the entire MBA application process! She continually gave me detailed guidance through each iteration of my essays, and I found that she knew exactly how to cater my story for each school. Alsey also helped with interview prep by conducting mock interviews and connecting me with candidates at various schools that talked me through their interview experiences. As a result, I felt fully prepared for every question that was asked. Even after getting into several M7s (with scholarships!) with her help, Alsey continues to advise me on my career path and always makes time to answer any questions I may have. I cannot recommend her enough!

I couldn’t believe it when I received a ding from INSEAD! I thought I had prepared a strong application and was completely confused and clueless about what went wrong and was looking for guidance. I was a bit apprehensive about my GMAT score of 710, but thought my strong application would make up for that. I browsed for days on the net, read reviews of various consultants and finally decided to seek help by reaching out to three consultants, including Farrell. The responses from two consultants were quite generic – try to slightly improve my GMAT score and be more specific in my essays. I got the impression that they had not read my INSEAD essays in detail. Farrell’s view was diametrically opposite. After pouring herself into my essays she sent me an audio clip with her critical comments – and more importantly – she was confident that I had a good chance to enter a top U.S. school and my GMAT score was not an issue! This was a totally new perspective and I was pleasantly surprised. However, still not very certain whether to go ahead or not I did a lot of research online and was impressed with what I found – she had admits in all the top U.S. B-Schools – Wharton, HBS, Stanford – you name it! For the next 2 months I bombarded Farrell with loads of questions. She would respond immediately. Her patience, energy and enthusiasm amazed me! And I had not even engaged her till then! Her passion and zeal finally won me over and I decided to engage her as my coach – this proved to be a turning point and the best decision of my MBA journey! Before diving into the essays, Farrell spent hours trying to understand my professional background and what I hoped to achieve from my MBA. She inundated me with relevant articles, details of events I should attend and with just about anything and everything that would help me get into my dream school. Initially, I was not sure how a lot of things we spent time on would help me, but when I finally got down to writing the essays, I realized how vital it was to spend time on my background and goals and then connect the dots, which Farrell did so successfully. When I was finally done with my essays, my confidence soared seeing the final output and I had the gut feeling that I would get that coveted interview call! When I did get the call Farrell was as excited as me! She pulled out all the plugs for my interview preparation and not only guided me, but even connected me to everyone who could help me prepare, including her previous admits in Wharton. All these efforts paid off and I was over the moon when I got the admit call from Wharton! I am extremely grateful to Farrell for all her help and guidance throughout my MBA journey to Wharton, and highly recommend her services to every MBA aspirant.

Pamela was so helpful to me in the process of applying to business school. She has a very well-thought-out and thorough process, which starts with her getting to know everything about you. She then works with you to make sure you are presenting the best version of yourself to each school. She is very organized and knowledgeable about what schools are looking for. She helped me get into Columbia, which was my top choice school!

Colten was extremely helpful in all aspects of my application. He guided me in shadowing and explained how to make the most of those opportunities. He was especially helpful with the writing portions of my application (i.e. personal statement and experiences). He also gave me many tips for interviewing, from practice questions and how to dress to self-presentation and nonverbal cues. I was accepted at the University of Colorado and the University of Louisville. I will be attending the University of Louisville.

Melissa was very helpful during my personal statement writing process. She gives in-depth feedback, including on your organization and grammar. Not only does she provide feedback from your drafts; she will take time to go over the feedback together, and brainstorm more ideas for your personal statement. She makes sure your story is the focus, so it does not feel like a resume. Melissa prioritizes on making sure your essay can portray an image of your passion for your career goals, your background story, and combine the importance of attending grad school. With her guidance, I was able to get accepted to Northwestern’s graduate program in the Fall. I absolutely enjoyed working with Melissa, and I highly recommend her as your coach.

I had the pleasure of working with Kassidy throughout my application process and I cannot recommend her enough! From the first time we spoke, she listened carefully to my goals and challenges, and then provided actionable advice and guidance that was tailored to my specific situation. Kassidy was incredibly knowledgeable about the MBA application process and provided crucial advice and suggestions for my essays. She is not afraid to give you the necessary feedback needed to get into top schools. Kassidy provided insights into the nuances of each school's culture and admissions process. Lastly, her interview tips and guidance were invaluable as I prepared for an interview at the GSB. Overall, I highly recommend Kassidy as a coach. You will not regret booking time with her!
