Michael is super knowledgeable about all things Schwarzman! He will genuinely put so much time and energy into making sure you feel great about your application materials. He also goes above and beyond with answering questions - he is an invaluable resource for Schwarzman. He is also literally the most responsive person in my whole life, like you will get a response within minutes if not RIGHT away, every single time. In addition, he is super thorough with answering questions & never made me feel bad for asking anything (even tbh some silly Qs). Michael is personable, kind, super dedicated, and knowledgeable, and it goes above and beyond to show up for you. Would highly highly highly recommend him as your coach!!!

Working with Michael was one of the best decisions I made during my Schwarzman Scholars application process. He immediately grasped my story and what made my background unique, and he was incredibly hands-on from start to finish. He helped me map out a clear schedule, kept me on track, and reviewed essays with me even late into the night. His deep knowledge of what the committee is looking for, his understanding of China, and his talent for structuring a compelling personal narrative were invaluable. Michael has a rare ability to quickly understand your experiences and turn them into a cohesive, powerful application. He also consistently went above and beyond, checking in throughout the process and even after I submitted, just to see how I was doing. I felt fully supported the entire time. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dedicated, and exceptionally skilled coach.

Jesse's webinar on Identity Mapping helped me understand why and how I need to tell my story. He gave useful techniques for reflection to help me show my uniqueness in the application.

I loved Jesse's Identity Mappying event! The framework he created for personal and professional reflection has provided me with clarity in moving forward in the process of considering an MBA. Looking forward to more events like this from him in the future!

I have attended so many events and most of the time I leave with a ton of advice and no idea how to implement it. But with this class we were walked through exactly what we should do and think about in order to create strong stories and applications!

I worked with Kristie for my dental school applications. She has fast turnaround, an efficient system to help you through each step of the application process, and is thorough and thoughtful in her writing feedback. I absolutely enjoyed every second of working with Kristie because she is so kind in every interaction but also has a myriad of experiences and a well-connected background to lead you in the correct direction. I recommend anyone applying to dental school to work with Kristie- whether it's writing your personal statement or cleaning up your extracurricular section or preparing for your interviews! (btw I received 10 acceptances out of the 11 schools I applied to)

Madeleine is an amazing resource to have in the PhD application process! She helped me make my statement of purpose concise and helped edit my essay among countless other minor details that make all the difference. She is a great listener that helped me formulate my thoughts into SoP-ready synthesized concrete ideas! It really speaks to her intellect as a PhD candidate. Thank you Madeleine!

Conor gave great advice and feedback, and was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the law school application process. Thank you!!!
