Eleanor is incredibly kind, Knowledgeable, and easy to talk to which made the whole process feel comfortable and encouraging! She helped put my mind in the right direction, guiding me how to approach my ideas. She gave great examples, suggested creative ideas, and provided great feedback to help make my essays stronger! She is fast at responding and is easy to work with. She is very supportive and a great friend! I highly recommend Eleanor as a coach!

Karla helped me with my master’s program essays and CV. She’s incredibly impressive with the way she’s able to condense information and shift focus to the important points. The edits that she made on my essay were done with a lot of thought and care. She incorporated my inputs and was very communicative.

I first connected with Lucas in July of 2024, our initial plans were to apply for R1 but due to multiple work commitments(from my end), I could only apply to 4 schools for R2 out of the initially planned 9 schools. Throughout the process, Lucas took time to understand my candidature, story and helped me alter my very vague stories/essays into effective school specific and ready essay responses. I had to defer my admission, but Lucas helped me successfully convert admission at McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University for fall 2025. He is very flexible with his client's style of working and goes over and beyond wrt to guidance.

Working with Chan has been the best decision I have made in a long time. I reached out to Chan a few weeks before the deadline for the Knight Hennessy scholarship. I was stressed and unable to wrap my head around the application process. Chan was extremely sympathetic (having gone through this process himself - successfully nonetheless!). He promptly arranged a call with me to understand my background and motivations and with a few hours, developed a comprehensive 6 week roadmap that would allow me to develop a polished application. We started with an invigorating brainstorming session that honestly felt more like good therapy - there were aspects of my life that I have never shared but Chan's understanding and emotionally intelligent demeanour made it so easy for me to open up. He helped me see my own intrinsic value and dig up stories that I never thought merited sharing, let alone with an admissions committee. From the deeply insightful edits to the pep talks, Chan has been a total game-changer. Every session was a mix of tough love, inspiration, and deep insight. He pushed me to dig deeper, to find meaning in my experiences, and to express it in a way that was powerful and authentic. I have now submitted my application and waiting to hear back but regardless of the outcome, I will remain indebted to Chan. He has helped me rediscover myself and I cannot thank him enough.

I did writing and mock interview sessions with Ryan. During the writing sessions, he went through each of my essays line by line, helping me refine my ideas, structure, and tone. The notes he left on my personal statement were really valuable. I received 4 interview invites out of my 14 applications so far, and the application cycle just started. Ryan's advice was likely the reason. I had mock interviews with 2 other medical students, but I felt that Ryan's was the most comprehensive I have ever done. He asked me the hardest questions, and sent me a review document after, with detailed feedback. Once my interview rolled around I felt incredibly prepared, and nothing caught me off guard. Worth every penny.

Thank you Megan for being open and friendly in your session. You made space for everyone to participate and be active. It was a very educative session.

Claire was great at giving direct, actionable feedback to help my story land in a way that felt both genuine and in line with what the admissions committee was looking for.

I worked with Geri on a "Ding Analysis" and she provided a thoughtful and thorough analysis of my application and walked through the analysis through a live call. I can't believe how knowledgeable Geri was about the application process and the strengths and weaknesses of my application. I also really appreciated the discussion on my career path and personal and professional growth

Amanda of course is extremely knowledgable and incredibly helpful, that we expected but her goodness as a person and mentor was an added bonus. Amanda was able to get to know our twins individually on such a deep level (which not an easy task), she helped the essays to reflect the kids' personalities perfectly. Over the past few months she cheered them on, built them up, saw all their strengths and abilities and reminded them how capable they are. Will be forever grateful for the time and energy she put into the applications but more importantly into our children! Thrilled to have our essays finished, but ending our weekly appointments with Amanda is bittersweet. BEST of the BEST! Thank you Amanda and thank you Leland!
