Jed and I hit it off right away. Being an engineer and a consultant myself, I was looking for my admissions consultant to be professional, organized, methodical and to show clear value-add for every dollar. Jed met all my expectations and helped me keep my applications on-track. Jed's insightful advice on which of my experiences to draw-on probably saved me hours of re-drafts. I particularly want to highlight Jed's performance during crunch time. In the 3 week period before applications were due, Jed went above and beyond. Jed came through multiple times by turning around essay reviews and providing advice at all hours of the day. I don't think my essays would have been reflective of my best work without his help during this particularly busy period.

I submitted my application yesterday! Thank you SO much for all your help. You made a huge impact on my essays and resume and were so helpful and positive throughout this process.

When I started my MBA application process, I realized that I needed customized services suited to my requirements. I decided to purchase the hourly service and selected Jed Sturman as my coach. I want to share that I had an absolutely amazing experience with Jed. He provided valuable strategic feedback on my essays and helped me strengthen my strategy for the MBA process. Jed helped me focus on the strong aspects of my career so far and also provided insight into what colleges actually look for. I really appreciate his professionalism, his quick responses, and his eagerness to walk that extra mile. I got admitted to a college of my choice with a generous scholarship. I would highly recommend his services.

I want to say a big THANK YOU to you for the strategic feedback on my essays. You really helped me build a strong and solid foundation with my story in the essays and your feedback was truly valuable. I am glad I invested in your services.  Thanks a lot, Jed. The essays look great now… You have been absolutely amazing and I really appreciate it.

I have had a great experience with Jed. He has helped me a lot to turn around my stories and make them impactful. This is just what I was looking for. He is super helpful and he's been just the right match for me. Jed - Its been so good to work with you.......the process has just become fun over time

Jed, thank you for the most thoughtful and comprehensive feedback I have received to date. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read over my responses and find your critique very informative.

Jed was instrumental in helping my ideas come to light on paper. In my applications I was attempting to get certain messages across and with the help of Jed I was accepted into my first choice! Thanks, Jed!

I just wanted to thank you for your advice regarding my Kellogg interview. I got the questions we talked about and regardless of the outcome I performed better as a result of our chat on Sunday.

John did a great job helping me pull together my stories and essays for Kellogg. He has tremendousknowledge in the admissions process and takes personal interest in his client's success. On a personal note, I was overwhelmed by the efforts, hard work and ingenuity needed to create an application package. At times, the application process induced self doubts and I felt like giving up the b-school dream. In these trying times, John had been a great motivator, guide and friend. He played an important mentoring role and helped me reaffirm faith in myself. I am not sure whether I would have pulled on without John's help. He has done a fantastic job

I couldn't have asked for a better MBA consultant. John is a great listener and strategist. After our kick-off meeting John understood my background and identified major themes that would make my application a success. I applied to three schools and he had a strong understanding of how to tailor my application to each one. John is detailed and patient. We went through over twenty drafts for my essays and we did nearly ten mock interviews. And for each instance, John gave me clear specific guidance on how to improve my work. Also, John effectively used his connections within SBC to get as many people read my essays and improve them. John will work you hard and as long as you are committed to the application yourself, John will keep you positive in the arduous process. With John's help, I was admitted by MIT Sloan and UCLA Anderson.
