Working with Mary was absolutely a game-changer in my college admissions process, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into a Top 20 university. As a former admissions officer herself, Mary knew exactly which of my experiences to highlight in my essays and how to bring my authentic voice to each one. Mary's exceptional guidance and dedication kept me organized and ahead of schedule during the busiest times of senior year, and I know I would've fallen behind without her support.

Working with Edwin was one of the best decisions I made in my MBA application process. As a Wharton MBA alum who was also admitted to Cornell, he brought a level of insider knowledge that no generic prep service can replicate. He knew what adcoms actually respond to, which schools were the right fit for my background, and how to position my story in a way that felt authentic. Edwin helped me across the board: school selection, resume, and essay drafting. On the resume, he pushed me to lead with impact and cut everything that didn't earn its place. On the essays, he helped me find the through-line in my experience that I had been too close to see myself, and then held me to a high standard on every draft until it was genuinely strong. He gives direct, honest feedback. If something isn't working, he tells you clearly and explains why. If you have a nontraditional background, need assistance with crafting a narrative that's authentic or a complex story to tell, Edwin is especially valuable. Highly recommend.

Neal helped me prepare for my MBA interview, and the session was incredibly useful. Running through practice questions with him gave me much more confidence going into the interview. He provided thoughtful feedback on my responses and even stayed overtime to fit in extra practice, which I really appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend booking a session with him if you want to strengthen your interviewing skills.

I was honestly very lost at the start of the college process, and I didn’t really know where to begin or how to navigate everything. I started working with Mary at the beginning of my junior year, and her guidance completely changed my experience. From the very beginning, she took the time to really understand me, my strengths, my weaknesses, my interests, and what I was looking for in a college. She helped me turn what felt overwhelming into something manageable, breaking down each step of the process and giving me clear direction. Whether it was building my college list, refining my essays, or preparing for interviews, she was always thoughtful, strategic, and incredibly supportive. What stood out most was how invested she was in my success. She pushed me to present the best version of myself while still making sure everything felt authentic to who I am. Her feedback was always honest but encouraging, and she made me feel confident in my abilities even during stressful moments. I truly don’t think I could have navigated this process without her. Mary not only helped me stay organized and focused, but she also made what can be an overwhelming experience feel much more manageable and even exciting at times. I’m so grateful for all of her support and guidance, and truly would 10000% recommend her to anyone and everyone who feels like the college application journey isn’t straightforward or doesn’t know where to start.

I worked with Abby on my Round 2 MBA applications at a point when I was feeling discouraged and struggling with the GRE. From day one, she believed in me and kept me grounded in my strengths, even when I wasn’t. Abby was instrumental in turning my experiences into clear, compelling stories. Her edits were insightful, precise, and always pushed my essays to the next level. She also brings deep knowledge of different programs and knows exactly what admissions teams are looking for. I truly couldn’t have done this process without her and would highly recommend her to anyone applying to business school! I'm SO happy the process is over, but am very sad to stop working with Abby!
