I worked with James to bring my story to life in my essays. He provided insightful advice, leveraged his extensive experience, and demonstrated deep knowledge of the topic. His guidance helped me elevate my essays, and I would highly recommend working with him!

Steve was incredibly helpful with essay assistance. I approached him with two specific schools in mind and he provided valuable guidance on both the overall structure and narrative of my essays. Additionally, he offered detailed, line-by-line edits to improve grammar, sentence structure, and flow. His support was immensely helpful and I would highly recommend him!

Vica was incredibly encouraging, candid, and responsive throughout my MBA application journey. She provided thoughtful advice, checked in regularly, and offered unwavering support every step of the way. I especially appreciated how she wasn’t afraid to suggest scrapping an essay draft or pivoting directions when necessary, ensuring my applications were as strong as they could be. Her guidance gave me the confidence to navigate this process with clarity and focus. I’m very grateful for her expertise and support!

I asked Ben to review some of my GSB essays - Ben gave me incredibly honest feedback that showed he genuinely read through my essay, evaluated it critically and gave me tangible things to improve. I later scheduled a mock for my interview, and Ben continued to give relevant feedback that I had not even considered when practicing. If you're on the fence, Ben is a fantastic coach that is well worth the price.

I just had a couple of days remaining until deadline for the round I was aiming to apply. Steven graciously offered to have an early intro call out of his schedule and then later review my profile to leave enough time for me to reflect on his feedback. His feedback was very helpful too, he pointed out the missing links in my packet and gave great suggestions for how I can put them together. In the short timeline he optimized and focussed on things which would help me the most to maximise my chances of getting selected. Overall I had an amazing experience working with him!

Machmud was able to pull out a story about my life I knew in my heart, but had never truly been able to verbalize. I wish I could have had someone like him for undergrad, deferred MBA applications, etc. But thanks to him, I was able to become a Schwarzman Scholar :)

Josh provided me with amazing mentorship and content to vastly improve my essays. He has a TON of essay examples and tips that really helped me to create my first drafts. His comments and edits were excellent and were key towards creating incredible essays. Josh really went above and beyond my expectations. We had a tight timeline of 6 days! I want to highlight Josh's very quick and efficient essay revisions. He was always there to answer my questions and help me make necessary edits or pivots. There's no way I could have created such masterful essays without Josh's content, guidance, edits, and coaching.

Hiring Victoria as an MBA coach has been one of the best decisions I've ever made! I spoke to several coaches who told me that the schools I was aiming for were not attainable, but Vica was the only one who believed in me and my story. From our very first call, I could tell that she genuinely cares about helping her clients and that this is her passion. Vica supported me through every step of my application for three schools - essays, resume, letter of recommendation packets, short-answer prompts, interview prep and even scholarship renegotiation - all within just 11.5 hours of her time. The level of thought she puts into crafting your narrative and ensuring every detail aligns with what AdComs are looking for is incredible. She pushes you to think deeper about your story and what matters to you. Her guidance not only helped me with my application but also gave me deeper clarity about my goals and aspirations. Something else you will greatly benefit from is her amazing ability to break down any essay prompt and dissect exactly what they’re asking. She’s never afraid to provide honest feedback and works with you through multiple drafts until both of you are satisfied. The application process is so stressful, and a huge role Vica played was to also be a point of support. There were times when I felt overwhelmed, but Vica was always there, reassuring me and keeping me focused. She truly went above and beyond. Even when she was on her way to a vacation, she made time during her train ride to review my essay. She saw me as so much more than just a test score and worked with me to craft an application that got me admitted to all three schools I applied to, something I hadn’t ever imagined possible considering my stats. I even got an amazing merit scholarship! It’s rare to find someone online who can have such a profound impact on your life, but Vica did just that for me. I’m forever grateful for her dedication and support as I simply would not have been admitted to my dream school without it. If you’re fortunate enough to work with her, you’ll experience firsthand how deeply she cares about the success of her clients. I will forever recommend Vica to anyone and everyone applying to business school. 🙂

Claire was amazing throughout the application process! She was very encouraging and positive, always making herself available for edits. Claire also gives great advice on essays, knowing how to pick out the best elements to weave together a powerful narrative. If you want to stand out in the application, Claire is your choice!!

If you're shopping around for consultants, you can stop your search. Just go with Tim and you won't regret it! As a re-applicant from R1 2023, I was unsure about how to tell my story and explain various extenuating circumstances. Tim was an amazing sounding board for me to bounce ideas off of and his feedback helped me build a solid narrative. What makes Tim stand out is his rare combination of being open-minded to unconventional ideas and his clients' concerns, while gracefully pushing back on ideas that would hurt the application. A lifelong struggle with writer's block had me scrambling to push out first drafts several days before the deadlines. Despite this and his other commitments, Tim actively offered to carve out time to support me wherever/whenever possible. His kindness and genuine desire to help allowed me to put together applications I couldn't have been more proud of.
