I did not know many individuals who applied for or went to business school, and I wanted to make sure I was approaching the application in the right way. Moreover, I wanted to make sure I articulated my technical experiences in any easily digestible format for a business school adcom on my resume...Luckily, the work I accomplished with you was superb and landed me an admissions offer from Stanford!

I always felt that I had an interesting story to tell the admissions folks. But as I read the application materials and requirements from the schools, I felt lost. I believe that your guidance helped me tell my story in a compelling and attractive way.

I highly recommend anyone to work with Kesan since he is very responsive, supportive, and knowledgeable. He is always willing to answer any questions that I ask and give me insightful advice. His working style is results-driven and strategic, which helped me identify a very clear direction for improving my MBA application, 5 stars for himmm

I really want to thank you for all the help and advice you've given me throughout the essay writing process. Not only do I think your guidance was necessary for me to get these results, I also feel I've become a stronger writer because of it. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me, and when my younger brother goes through the process, we definitely know who to call!

I know my writing would not have progressed the way it has without Erica's support and helpful ideas. I can't recommend Erica enough to other students in this process! She truly is the best at what she does!

I'd love to stay in touch and let you know how Pittsburgh treats me. Also, fair warning, my younger brother is only two years behind me. I've already told him how much you helped me, so he'll likely be reaching out for your guidance when it's his turn to tackle the common app! Thank you again for everything.

I worked with Madeleine from the very early stages of my PhD application journey, when I had decided to apply but had little understanding of how the U.S. system actually works. As an international applicant, that initial gap felt significant, and her guidance immediately made the process clearer and more navigable. Having someone whose knowledge I trusted made me feel far less like an outsider. We worked together from the formulation of my research idea through to the final stages of my application. She helped me refine and develop my project, and provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on my statement of purpose and personal statement. She also guided me through more strategic aspects of the process, such as reaching out to potential advisors, and remained consistently available throughout. Madeleine not only helped in terms of clarity and structure, but the depth of her thinking has made my own thinking sharper. I found her questions and feedback both rigorous and intellectually engaging. She pushed me to sharpen my arguments and situate my work more precisely within the field. I’m very glad I had the opportunity to work with her. I would strongly recommend her to anyone applying to competitive PhD programs, especially those navigating the process from outside the U.S. system.

I had a great experience working with Laurisa. Communication with her was clear and consistent, and her feedback was direct, specific, and really useful. She helped me present my experiences much more effectively. I can't recommend her enough.

Claudia was clear and concise on teaching me how to become a better applicant.

Meghan gave us a lot of information in a short amount of time - a peek behind the curtain on how admissions decisions get made. Love that she stressed the importance of learning about yourself and what you actually care about so your application is authentic and not overly polished.
