I was very hesitant at first about working with an admissions consultant, but partnering with Betsy turned out to be one of the best decisions I made for both my essays and my resume. She has a real gift for drawing out parts of my story that I didn't even realize were meaningful and helping me see my own experiences in a new light. Through her guidance, I felt genuinely proud of my essays and confident that I was putting my most authentic self and strongest foot forward. Betsy is also tough, and her feedback can be difficult at times, but that is ultimately what showed me how much she cared. She didn't just push me to improve my writing; she pushed me to rethink how I carry myself, how I present my story, and how I own my accomplishments. As someone who struggles with imposter syndrome, she made a lasting impact on me & pushed me to dream big. My experience was incredibly positive, and I was admitted to every program I applied to with scholarship offers. Betsy and I still keep in touch, and I now genuinely consider her a friend.

Lulu is an amazing college counselor and was incredibly helpful throughout the admissions process! At first, I felt very lost when it came to writing my essays and developing an effective strategy. Through multiple sessions, she helped me build a clear narrative and present myself authentically in my writing to colleges.

Maya is amazing! She helped me through the entire essay process for my MBA application. She was incredibly sharp at spotting the weak points in my drafts and showed me exactly how to highlight my strengths for the admissions committee. Her feedback was always quick and straight to the point, which saved me so much time and energy.

John was available at a very short notice - literally 2 days before my interview. He helped me mock prep and followed up with all the feedback. The qs he asked were very similar to my actual interview. later, I was placed on waitlist and he helped me design my strategy and thinking process. Thank you for all the advice !

I worked with Ben for a mock interview session and appreciated some of the feedback he provided... there were definitely a few useful insights. That said, the session felt quite rushed and underprepared. He hadn’t reviewed the resume I had shared in advance, which made the conversation less tailored and less effective than I was hoping for. A lot of the questions he asked were quite generic and he just didn't seem "into it". Given the price point, I expected a more thoughtful and personalized experience. Overall, while there was some value in the feedback, I don’t feel the session justified the high price tag.

Working with Bri was an invaluable part of my HKS application journey. She offered thoughtful perspectives that went far beyond typical advice, helping me understand how to approach my application in a truly authentic way. What stood out most was her ability to help me refine and clearly communicate my personal story. Her feedback was both strategic and genuine, allowing me to present myself in the right way. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone applying to HKS!

Melanie was so helpful and instrumental in helping me articulate my story, hone my strengths, and address my weaknesses in my MBA interview so that I could get into school. She was very straightforward and clearly identified what I needed to focus on, giving me descriptive and instructive feedback so that I could improve and go through my interview process with competence. She has a very clear understanding of exactly what CBS is looking for in interviews and is able to bring that knowledge into each session. She is also such a kind individual, and I truly appreciate her help and support throughout this process.

Abby was instrumental in helping me get admits to Booth, Haas, and Fuqua. Her feedback for crafting my mba story, essay narratives, and tying to each schools values was invaluable. She was very supportive, flexible, and always listened to my feedback as we discussed ideas and edits. I highly recommend working with Abby on the mba application process!

I began the college application process feeling out of my depth, but Reagan helped me craft a list of schools, plan my personal statement, and edited countless supplementals. She was incredibly supportive and kind throughout the process. I will be attending Brown in the fall and could not have done it without her!

Geri was very friendly, encouraging, and great to work with. She definitely gave me a good feel for what to expect from the HBS interview and helped me go into it feeling very prepared. Happy to say that I was admitted.
