I contacted Ariel only a few days before my priority deadline for NYU Law School

Working with Erika was excellent! She provided incredibly detailed, honest feedback and had super quick turnaround times, even while traveling. She didn't just tell me what to fix - she explained why and gave specific suggestions to make my writing more authentic and compelling. Her attention to detail was impressive, catching everything from small inconsistencies to bigger structural issues. She was flexible with timing and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. After multiple rounds of thoughtful edits, I got accepted to my program! If you want someone who will give you real, actionable feedback and help you craft strong applications, I highly recommend Erika.

Scott played a massive role in my successful CBS application. He provided me with detailed feedback and helped me rework my application materials to give me the best possible application two weeks before the deadline. Scott not only helped me throughout the application process but also helped me prepare for the interview as well. I had a GMAT significantly below CBS's average and I credit Scott's advice and mentorship with helping me create a great application for the school.

I worked with Alyssa on my Wharton essays over New Years, and despite the holiday, she was incredibly responsive and quick with edits. She came to our sessions very prepared, having already given my application and story a lot of thought, and we were able to move forward efficiently. Highly recommend working with Alyssa!

Debby is extremely knowledgeable about all parts of the grad school process. When I first started the process, I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to look, and Debby was helpful in thinking through everything: choosing schools, drafting essays, finding letters of recommendation, etc. She can answer pretty much any question you throw at her based on her experience in admissions. Her experience helped me to shape my essays and application materials in a compelling way. She is compassionate and thoughtful as well. I doubt you could find a better counselor for your grad school journey. I got into my top choice (Cornell Tech MEng CS).

Michael guided me through the full Schwarzman process, and I can confidently say that being selected for the scholarship would not have been possible without his coaching. I first attended his info session in the summer and subsequently purchased the Schwarzman application package, where he immediately sent over detailed preparation materials. From the start, Michael was exceptionally dedicated and responsive, not only in discussing the Schwarzman criteria, but also in learning about my interests and helping me translate my experiences into a compelling and forward-looking narrative to present to the committee. Michael continued working with me even in the hours leading up to the application deadline to provide thoughtful, detailed feedback on my essays. Leading into the interview stage, I had three mock interviews with Michael, and he thoroughly revised my application materials to ask me tailored, challenging questions that mirrored those I received in the actual interview. His constructive feedback and reassurance in the days leading up to the interview significantly improved my performance and confidence during what is a high-stakes and stressful period. I can not recommend Michael enough, and his specialization in the Schwarzman application process, genuine passion for coaching, and investment in his students truly sets him apart.

I could sing countless praises about my experience working with Dylan, who set the bar sky-high for coaches everywhere dedicated to the law school admissions process. On top of being objectively knowledgeable and experienced, his infectious energy and passion made him a delight to work with. At every stage of my application, Dylan made me feel so incredibly supported, and gave me immensely helpful and practical feedback. If you'd like a capable coach who will work and strategize with you to truly maximize your chances of admission, Dylan is the obvious choice.

Working with Debby was one of the best decisions I made while going through the PhD application process. Debby helped me prepare for interviews and was incredibly encouraging, thorough, and supportive throughout. She was available to meet with me on short notice and coach me through mock interviews. Because of her, I had great interviews and was admitted to my top choice program! I highly, highly recommend working with Debby!

I worked with Emily as a Round 2 MBA applicant for the 2026 admissions cycle, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. From our very first 15-minute introductory chat, she immediately took the time to understand my goals, what genuinely interested me, and why I was pursuing an MBA. Even in that short conversation, she gave me confidence that this process was manageable and that I belonged in it. She took the time to hear my working style (I knew I liked to work solo and chat with her adhoc) - I appreciate her empowering me from the beginning to own my MBA journey. Throughout the entire application journey, Emily was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. She was always quick to reply to messages (even when I was traveling abroad!) helped calm me down when I was spiraling, and consistently offered clear, actionable advice. Her support on essay writing was especially valuable - she helped me tailor each essay to what individual schools were lookin for, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, and pushed me to pivot my story if she felt like I focused on the same thing too many times. Emily’s background as a former AdCom member made a huge difference. She had a sharp eye for where my writing was too verbose and where it needed more depth, and she helped me tell my story in a way that felt like me but also what schools needed. I also loved working with her on interview prep - our mock interview and her detailed feedback were incredibly helpful and made a real difference in how confident and prepared I felt. Overall, working with Emily was an amazing experience, and I’m deeply grateful to have found her! Thank you, Emily!

I worked with Gloria to prepare for my Case Western Interview, and she gave very helpful feedback and pointers for crafting responses to certain questions. Our session felt productive, and I would definitely recommend doing a mock interview with her, if you're looking for practice!
