I am starting at Harvard for my MBA and my Public Policy Degree thanks in large part to Andy Pelletier. I was a non-traditional MBA candidate and unsure how competitive I would be. Andy encouraged me and helped me hone my narrative. He was willing to push me to identify the key elements of my stories and to clearly communicate who I am, not just what I have accomplished. He was incredibly responsive, turning around his feedback quickly, and working around my schedule. When it came time for interviews, I did not hesitate to call Andy to prepare. He provided me with key feedback and helped me go to into the interviews with confidence. I would absolutely work with Andy again.

Every law school says that to apply you need an LSAT score, a personal statement, and a strong resume. No school ever warns that you also need stamina, emotional perseverance, and unwavering faith. My decision to work with Parth was undoubtedly the best choice I could have made for myself as an applicant and future law student. During my first consultation with Parth, he was incredibly kind and candid about my LSAT score. It was his open and truthful analysis of my application numbers that got me to where I am today. He followed up with a game plan on how to brainstorm ideas for a personal statement and effectively study for the LSAT. Additionally, after each school had responded to my applications, Parth was my first phone call. He embodied both a friend and a consultant. He was invested in my goals and me as an individual. From that initial consultation, I immediately recognized his skills as a student and attorney. He took my personal statement to another level, and it was my first glimpse of his concise legal writing skills. He put me in touch with his peers at various law schools so that I could receive a wide scope of advice. Through Parth’s detailed attention towards my career, I am now at my dream law school. My personal statement was also hand-selected by my law school to qualify me into the leadership honors program. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Parth and I continue to value having him as a friend and mentor.

Allie helped me from start to finish with my applications and I couldn’t have done it without her. To begin, she really helped me identify what exactly it was that I wanted out of business school, and how business school resources would align to my career goals. She then provided such useful and clear guidance about the schools I was considering, and we were able to craft essays that were really tailored to my goals but also individualized and specific to each school. We operated on a tighter timeline, but she made sure to carve out time to iterate with me and get my applications across the finish line. I highly recommend working with Allie!

Great work, super efficient.

I had initially reached out to Alex for essay support and was pleased to find that he was an attentive, knowledgable consultant. I came to him with what I felt were relatively solid drafts, and he helped me hone in on my strongest “key points”. He gave me quite a bit of advice about how to craft my essays with respect to word limits, as well as information on each school's general admissions process. Additionally, he followed up with me afterward and offered very earnest and sincere congratulations when he found out I had been accepted to every program I had applied to.

For context, I'm coming from a technology background, have an average GPA from a good undergrad school, and decent test scores. I worked with Alex, who went to GSB and had a similar background as I did. We spent the first couple of hours at a high level finding the “right” story for all of my applications - one that would both make holistic sense in the context of a MBA application and fit my interests/ambitions. From there, we went back and forth on revisions of my resume, essays, recommendation letters, etc… Throughout this process, Alex was direct & honest with me while also encouraging me to offer constructive feedback to him. He was able to recognize strengths & weaknesses in my application (e.g. strong extracurriculars, weak essay writing style) and effectively communicate how to make up for those weaknesses. I believe he had unique insights which materially helped my application (e.g. talk about collegiate athletic career @ school X because they value that type of team-based experience) and which I would not/could not have recognized on my own. He was timely in all of his communications and was efficient, which helped to make the most of our hourly sessions. This helped ease any additional time pressure and allowed me to submit all of my applications ahead of the initial deadlines without sacrificing quality. All in all, I would highly recommend working with Alex. Everything was just easy - making payments, communication, etc... - and I think that's important in this process. Whether or not I got into any schools, I believe working with Alex gave me the BEST possible opportunity to get into a school of my dreams. Fortunately for me, I did! I'll be attending CBS next year and am truly excited.

David was fantastic and spent ample time discussing my personal essays/responses and practice interview answers with me. He was very responsive to texts and emails whenever I had additional questions.

Dalal was a spectacular GMAT tutor and resource during the MBA application process. As a GMAT pro, she employed various techniques that simplified the verbal section for me and allowed me to reach (and surpass) my target score! She went above and beyond during the MBA application process as well. She is knowledgeable of all the top programs and understands what they specialize in and what type of candidate they are looking for. With Dalal's support I was able to complete all my MBA applications under a tight deadline and I received acceptances from 3 out of my 4 applied schools! I also received $60,000 in scholarship from 2 of 3 accepted schools! Dalal's invaluable support help me take my MBA applications to the next level and helped me stand out as a candidate. I can't thank her enough!

I hired David to help me through all the steps of the application process. I was not academically focused in undergrad, and therefore had many bad grades on my transcript. David walked me through how to discuss these grades on my application and how to highlight my strengths. He was very helpful with providing feedback on my personal statement, preparing for interviews, consulting on when/what to send in application updates, and ultimately how to decide on a medical school. The application process is long and stressful, and having David there to provide feedback and answer any questions I had was very beneficial. I would recommend his services to any applicant seeking to make the most of their application.

I had the pleasure to know Dalal while I was applying to several MBA programs. Before we met, I applied to 3 different program and got rejected but since we started to work together, I was successfully admitted to every program that I applied for. Dalal has a unique set of skill, dedication and professional stand that make her able to support her clients in their journey towards self reflection. An essential part to the application essays. Not only that but she thrives to get the best out of your personal traits. It was great to work with a consultant that has a sense of humor. With Dalal, I was able to get into Marshall School of Business, LSE and UCL.
