Janet was extremely helpful and knowledgable throughout the whole application process! She gives very targeted and thorough feedback for the essays. It's really beneficial that she knows what the admissions team is looking for and is able to help you tailor your application/essays to meet those standards. Purchasing her coaching is a steal, highly recommend Janet!

I loved working with Jennifer! She brought such a positive, can-do spirit to the essay drafting process. She was also instrumental in teasing out aspects about my life to bring colour to my essays and make sure they read less like a CV. I sadly only had one hour with her, but would greatly recommend her!

I highly recommend Giovanna for her exceptional recruitment and interpersonal skills. Giovanna is a passionate recruitment leader. Her proactive approach in providing application guidance and addressing applicants’ concerns ensures all candidates receive equal support, fostering a fair chance for them to pursue critical educational opportunities in their lives. She goes above and beyond in connecting applicants with alumni and current students, providing invaluable insights into the community. As an administration officer, she exemplifies a high-impact, low-ego leader. Giovanna's dedication is a lasting source of inspiration, and I feel very fortunate to have worked with her throughout my application to Kellogg!

I wholeheartedly recommend Giovanna as a truly cross-functional recruiter. She is outstanding at her craft, both well-versed and highly attuned in her ability to identify and attract top talent in an authentic way. Her relationship-based approach, attention to detail, and keen eye for executive-level qualities played a crucial role in assembling a diverse and high-caliber cohort for the Kellogg School of Management's Evening & Weekend program. Without her exceptional skills, I and many other top talent would not have identified the right cultural, academic, and career fit for us. Across her diverse backgrounds in the arts, and now in business, Giovanna's exceptional recruiting ability transcends sector; her ability to translate her approach across industries is proven and continually successful.

I wholeheartedly endorse Giovanna for her outstanding work as an Assistant Director of Admissions. Giovanna’s exceptional recruiting skills and networking acumen played a pivotal role in my decision to attend Kellogg, a decision that has significantly advanced my career. Her keen eye for identifying and attracting top talent has greatly enriched the educational environment, making a lasting impact on the caliber of the community. Giovanna combines her sharp professional insights with a genuine, empathetic approach, making her not only a highly influential figure but also deeply authentic in her interactions. Her strength in building connections and fostering a network of high-achieving individuals is a testament to her invaluable contribution to the field of admissions

Indrani is honest and extremely understanding. Working with her so far has been invaluable in shaping my path and career aspirations.

Michael was so helpful and went above and beyond to coach me! He is very knowledgeable about the Schwarzman process, and answered all of my questions. His passion speaks volumes.

Michael was incredibly thorough in preparing me for my Schwarzman Scholars interview. Practicing with him eased my nerves and closely mirrored the real experience. He always had thoughtful, insightful answers to my questions and helped me feel confident going into the interview.

Working with Kelly completely changed how I understood my own artistic narrative. I had a strong portfolio but struggled to express the conceptual thread tying my work together. Kelly helped me articulate the ‘why’ behind my images (the themes of memory, identity, and space that I had been exploring intuitively but never named) to craft an artistic vision that I was proud of. Her background in art history and museum studies gave our conversations incredible depth, and her feedback on my artist statement was both insightful and empowering. With her guidance, I refined my portfolio sequence, clarified my intent, and was accepted into the MFA Photography program at RISD. Kelly doesn’t just prepare you for admission—she helps you see yourself as the artist you’re becoming

Kelly was the first person who truly saw my voice as a writer. When I came to her, my MFA drafts were raw and scattered...I knew what I wanted to say, but not how to shape it into something powerful. Kelly guided me with care and rigor, helping me craft a personal statement and writing sample that captured both my creative intent and my emotional truth. Her feedback was precise but never prescriptive; she helped me refine without losing authenticity. Thanks to her mentorship, I was accepted into NYU’s MFA in Creative Writing program. Working with her not only strengthened my application—it deepened my relationship with my own writing.
