She went above and beyond helping me translate my unique, unconventional professional experience into a competitive application. While working together, I was deployed with the military, in a completely different time zone and had an unpredictable schedule. In addition to this, leaving the military and pursuing graduate school can be a daunting and emotional journey. Emily’s strategic, deliberate, and informed approach greatly helped me manage the stressfulness of the process. Her storytelling will help capture the best of your experiences. The essay revisions and interview prep can be tough, but obviously that’s why you want her. She not only helped me navigate my application but also the greater journey of rediscovering my “why”. I feel so much more aligned with my sense of self after going through this processes and getting into my top school. I can't recommend her enough. She has a gift!

Stone supported me throughout my interview journey across multiple schools and played a key role in helping me secure 6 offers and 2 waitlists out of 8 interviews. His feedback and interview style were instrumental to my preparation and closely mirrored the dynamics of real-life interviews. Stone stood by me through various challenges I faced during the process, helping me address my weaknesses and improve with each interview. He has a real talent for bringing out the best in you, and I highly recommend him to anyone interviewing with top MBA programs.

I worked with Jake to prepare for my MBA interview at Darden, and I couldn’t have asked for a better coach. He was incredibly professional, providing clear, constructive feedback while maintaining a supportive approach. I had a lot to improve on, and he helped me refine my responses quickly with thoughtful guidance on interview frameworks. His coaching made a significant difference in my confidence and performance. I highly recommend working with Jake!

Matt's experience with Darden and knowledge of the program was instrumental in helping me make my story more cohesive for the interview. Couldn't recommend him enough!

Dione is a pro's pro at coaching. Not only is she extremely knowledgable on the topics, hard working, and a great teacher, but she cares deeply about the success of her clients and helps them understand their story better. Don't expect someone who will write your essays for you, just check your grammar, or sugar coat reality. Do expect someone who will force you to dig deep, work hard, and ultimately discover & share your compelling story. Tip: Start early with Dione. The earlier you start to understand your story, the more you can continue to invest in the skills, experience, and more to be exceptional. Dione and I went on an interesting journey, I invested a lot to get a great GMAT, get a great coach (obviously), and build a compelling profile. Then... 2 months before the deadline I started getting interviews for dream jobs - Jobs I thought I could only get with a full-time MBA. After lots of contemplation, talking with Dione, and heavy research, we concluded it's not the best decision for me to proceed with a full-time MBA and pivoted to a less common path in part-time. It still aligned with my mid-term and long-term goals (both logical and emotional) and gave me an insurance policy, experience, and network that I highly sought. I share this because Dione was extremely supportive, kind, and genuinely invested in my success as I brought up the twists and turns on our journey (which also included having a baby half way through preparing my applications!). She is someone I am grateful to be associated with and someone who made me better. I credit my new job largely to the work I did with Dione in understanding my story, enhancing my profile, and learning to craft a compelling narrative. TL;DR - It's an extremely worthwhile investment to be coached by someone as gifted as Dione, even if your path takes an unexpected turn you won't regret it.

I cannot recommend Tim enough! From the very beginning, he went out of his way to support me—guiding me through every stage, from application strategy to interview prep. His insights, dedication, and personalized approach made all the difference. He didn’t just help with essays and applications; he truly cared about my success, offering invaluable feedback, encouragement, and even last-minute assistance whenever needed.

Hadi was an absolute game-changer in my interview prep for Rice Jones, Indiana Kelley, and USC Marshall. Even with short notice, he brought incredible energy and knew every detail on how to tackle each interview. His guidance helped me make the most of every opportunity, and his feedback was spot-on. If you’re looking for someone who’s sharp, supportive, and truly invested in your success, Hadi is the coach you need!

London has been incredibly helpful in preparing me for my CBS interview. During our mock session, she covered a comprehensive list of questions and provided written feedback on each one for me to review. She is knowledgeable about CBS resources and generously shared her experiences. Beyond the session, London continued to offer support, demonstrating her genuine commitment to her coachees' success. I truly appreciate her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone applying to CBS.

Scott has been incredibly helpful in preparing me for my CBS interview. During our mock session, he not only identified areas for improvement but also provided actionable advice to refine my responses. Beyond the session, Scott continued to offer support, demonstrating his genuine commitment to the coachee's success. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for thoughtful and constructive coaching.

As a first-generation college student, I was scared of entering graduate school applications because of my inexperience. I met Krysta through her personal statement seminar and immediately reached out. She guided me through my personal statements, allowing me to express myself in a way I could not have done alone. I got into most of the schools I applied to and received a full-time job offer in my industry because a recruiter I talked to in passing was impressed by my personal statements. I have since deviated away from graduate school because the job offer I received was the exact job I was seeking a master's degree to get. I'm so grateful to Kyrsta. I received so many opportunities because of her help; I cannot recommend her enough.
