I would like to thank Ellin for the extremely careful service they provided. After talking to and working with a few consulting firms, her work was the most structured I found. Ellin helped me with my interview preparation and provided specific feedback about my pre-interview essays, especially for the MIT Sloan application. During all sessions, Ellin demonstrated a deep knowledge of every school and offered excellent suggestions on how to improve both the content and the structure of my answers. Her service was definitely critical for my acceptance.

I only wish I'd found Ellin sooner! There are MBA consultants, and then there is Ellin. Her extremely human and hands-on approach made me feel comfortable and confident with the process. Throughout the time we worked together, I always knew I was being personally taken care of by her. To anyone who is looking for someone to help them with their MBA application journey: look no further. You have found the unrivaled best consultant in the business.

Ellin was always available to assist me in all the moments of the process. She helped me from the beginning, helping with the strategy that I would use in my applications, to the follow-up of the results. I was really happy and impressed with everything. She is really good at helping me discover which stories of my work and personal life fit better in each of the essays and how to pitch them. For me, this was the main point that made me feel more confident during the entire process. If you want a consultancy that will assist in every part of the process and that knows how the MBA system works very well, for sure, Ellin Lolis must be your choice.

Working with Ellin was the best decision I made to start my application. Preparing for an MBA is a long journey, which can be overwhelming sometimes, and having her support at every step along the way was a game-changer. If you talk about storytelling, you must think about Ellin in the first place! She was dedicated to making every element of my application shine, helping me look at my own challenges and accomplishments through new lenses. She was always kind, thorough, and insightful, which made the process more enjoyable and my application stronger. Ellin’s impeccable organization helped me keep track of everything and made it easier to fit all the preparation into my busy schedule. With her great support, I understood which schools would be a perfect fit for me, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Ellin exceeded all my expectation,s and I absolutely recommend her to everyone who wants to have a successful journey to their dream MBA!

Getting into Wharton would never be possible without Ellin's support. As someone who lives and studied outside of the US, I needed Ellin's guidance from day 1 of the process. Ellin was 100% supportive during the process, clarifying all my doubts and delivering all the requests within the deadline. It was great to work with her!

The best part about working with Ellin was the very detailed coaching on my answers. She gave very clear notes on where she felt my answers. As my goal was not to let the interview opportunity go to waste, the mock gave me psychological safety during the real one. Also, I made sure I prepared more content based on our coaching. I would definitely recommend Ellin, since it is important to run your answers by somebody who has a lot of experience in hearing those answers from many folks, and in helping candidates get accepted.

Ellin offered valuable inputs that helped me strengthen my story and build my personal brand, and craft my focus areas. Ellin helped me organize my thoughts very well and put down key points. I think this really helped me in drafting my personal statement and gave me an idea of the messaging that I should be focusing on. She was also very helpful during the interview preps. I would definitely recommend working with Ellin. She is a very passionate and dedicated individual willing to offer her support and guidance from the start until the end. The kind of knowledge and experience she carries is truly valuable and can really do wonders.

To put it simply, I'm sure I would never have been accepted in the schools I had chosen without Ellin's help. I took the service without really knowing what to expect, but while going through the process, I realized how hard the task would have been without them and thanked myself many times for reaching out to Ellin at the very beginning. I would recommend Ellin Lolis 100% for anyone trying to pursue an MBA. Especially for people who don't come from the American Educational system and who aren't used to this kind of admissions process, the way of presenting oneself through essays, interviews, etc. Ellin is with you all the way, and knowing that while going through each step already makes a VERY big difference because you feel you are giving it your very best and putting all the chances on your side. Going to HBS is a real dream come true!

I will never forget when I told Ellin I wasn’t applying for my dream school because I was sure I wouldn’t be accepted. She encouraged me to apply, and in the end, I was accepted. Ellin balanced perfectly, dreaming with having my feet on the ground! I recommend Ellin Lolis to everyone who asks me for help in applying for the MBA. Specifically, I liked the tool she uses to help applicants with deadlines.. She is so well prepared to help the applicants with specific needs. Above all, I felt I invested in mentoring and coaching, more than just helping with the MBA process. Going to Stanford is fulfilling a dream I never imagined I could.

My favorite part of working with Ellin Lolis was how Ellin took an actual interest in getting to know me and thus crafted interview questions that are most similar to what MBA interviewers asked. Ellin developed questions that are likely to be asked and provided advice on how to better craft the answers Ellin is genuinely interested in helping you succeed and personalizing what the best route to success is for you, unlike many larger consultants who just give you a template.
