Atharva was an incredible coach. I came to him asking for help with putting together my essays for deferred MBA programs, and he pushed me to really dig deep and write a vulnerable and passionate essay true to myself and my goals. Without his help I genuinely don't know if I could have achieved what I have.

Brennen was extremely helpful from the intro call, all the way to my acceptance into two of my dream deferred MBA programs. He always found time to help me with every step of the application, even if it had to be last minute through a text message. Brennen spent a lot of time with me putting together my overarching story through my application, but made sure to remain hands off unless I specifically asked. In this way I was able to focus on what I could do best, while getting supported in my weaker areas. Would 100% recommend Brennen's service.

Brennen came very prepared to help mock interview me with questions tailored to my application and designed to challenge me. He gave detailed feedback and was good at encouraging me!

I had the pleasure to work with Mary and was on a very short timeline. She was super quick and extremely thoughtful on her feedback on my essays. Her interview prep was extremely helpful and she really set me up for success by focusing on some hard questions, which actually did end up coming up in the interview and I was able to confidently navigate. I got into HBS and I did this very rushed, as I was on a super tight timeline. I did my essays while I had COVID and my interview during graduation week. Bless Mary and don't think twice. She is excellent!

I worked with Drake during this past admission cycle for deferred MBA programs. After initially talking to a couple of different coaches, Drake stood out as someone who would go above and beyond to help you both succeed in the application process and be introspective on your future goals. He was very organized, and I knew exactly where I should be throughout the whole process. Drake's was especially helpful in providing feedback for various essays, and he is very good about helping you tell your story. Anytime I had a question or needed help, Drake was super responsive through both email and text. I would highly recommend Drake to anyone looking to apply to deferred MBA programs. He is very knowledgeable about the different programs and will set you up well for success!

Drake is an awesome coach! I recently applied to the deferred MBA programs at Stanford GSB, HBS, and UChicago Booth and worked with him throughout the entire process. From the start, it was clear that he was very organized, knowledgeable about the MBA admissions journey, and committed to helping me succeed. Drake’s advice / insight was invaluable and made me feel much more confident and prepared. Also, his feedback for my resume, essays, and mock interviews was always honest and incredibly helpful. When I felt overwhelmed or frustrated by the process, he helped me stay positive and motivated. I highly recommend working with Drake!

I worked with Brennen on my applications for deferred MBA programs. He’s been a constant source of support for me throughout the process and has been nothing but empathetic, honest, and strategic with his feedback on my candidacy. Whether it was going over countless essay revisions or conducting mock interviews, Brennen went above and beyond to help me prepare for every step of the process and I’m so thankful to have worked with him. With his guidance, I was able to get into my dream school!

Mary is an awesome coach! Her HBS interview class was super helpful when I prepared for this challenging interview. She gave great tips on how to approach different questions and gave us plenty of time to practice the skills she taught. Highly recommend working with her!

I worked with Kathryn for over eight months as a deferred MBA applicant. I highly recommend her for all MBA applicants seeking a coach! She is honest, patient, adaptable, and empathetic. She relentlessly pushed me to do better. Even when I was ready to quit, Kathryn encouraged me to keep going. In fact, I came into each session with Kathryn thinking I had an amazing essay and left with at least 20-30 ways I could make it stronger. She’s also a talented writer! Kathryn pushed me to reflect deeply on my experiences and helped me write concise, expressive essays. Additionally, Kathryn helped me build a side project to strengthen my application. As we crafted my story, I wanted to take on an extra project in my community to demonstrate passion and leadership. Kathryn helped me brainstorm and launch a project that aligned with my application, a service that very few coaches offer. Finally, I appreciate Kathryn’s optimism. When I was looking for a coach, a consultant from a long-established MBA admissions firm told me I would not get into Harvard/Stanford. Kathryn never told me a school was out of reach. She encouraged me to apply, regardless of acceptance rate, and I’m grateful that she was my coach!

I scheduled a mock interview with Camden, and he was an amazing coach! Camden studied my application from start to finish and came prepared to our session with a set of questions that simulated an HBS interview. At the same time, Camden dynamically asked follow-up questions to help me practice staying calm under pressure. He drilled into my weaker responses, uncovering blind spots in my preparation. I left our session with a clear understanding of what I needed to do next. I recommend Camden for all HBS interviewees because he knows the school really well. In fact, during our mock, Camden asked questions about minor details in my application that my actual HBS interviewer ended up asking me on interview day!
