Highly recommend Darla if you're overwhelmed with the options especially as an international student looking to go into a top MBA program! She helped me understand her options and choices at the time, and gave me very practical advice before I moved forward with my applications. She was kind, patient, friendly, and approachable throughout.

Working with Darla has been an invaluable experience. She combines deep marketing expertise with a gift for clear and practical feedback, which made every project we collaborated on more impactful. During my admissions journey to the London Business School Masters in Management, her guidance Was brilliant.

As someone who has taken tutoring and mentoring from Leland and Aanchal, I know that Aanchal’s medical school and residency admissions knowledge can help all applicants.

I cannot think of a better person to guide aspiring MBAs through the application process than Alec. He is the one that originally opened my eyes to the opportunities and MBA provides and the reason I got into all 6 programs I applied to. Alec’s strength is not just that he lived through this process, but because he devoted his entire post-MBA life into helping people achieve their goals. Through his book and successful tenure as Service 2 School CEO, Alec provides a unique blend of personal insights and a deep understanding of how admissions committees think and work. This knowledge is incredibly valuable and will enable aspiring MBAs to unlock their potential and achieve their dreams!

Maya would make an excellent coach for any prospective MBA applicant, as she has great knowledge across the application process - from developing a compelling application to nailing the interview to making a final selection between schools. She is thoughtful, attentive to detail, and a very good listener who can tailor her advice based on the candidate. I would choose Maya as an MBA coach in a heartbeat!

Maya was instrumental in guiding me through the application process. She not only helped me refine my essays but also pushed me to narrow my focus and highlight the most compelling aspects of my story. Her thoughtful feedback ensured that each essay was curated specifically to align with the values of each school. Thanks to her support, I was able to get into multiple top school!

I cannot think of a better person to help guide and coach individuals looking to break into MBA programs and consulting. In fact, Alec was CEO of the organization, Service to School, that I deeply credit with the success of my MBA journey. His passion has always been to help others, and Alec has truly excelled at that. I saw this first hand where both Alec and I worked on veteran focused recruiting events at McKinsey. If you are looking for an expert on MBA, grad school or any higher education, as well as consulting interview prep, Alec should be at the top of your list of coaches!

I first met Zain during my undergraduate years, where he was a few years ahead of me and quickly became a mentor. He guided me through career decisions, interview prep, and networking with generosity and clarity. Since then, I’ve seen him succeed in high-impact roles at Google and now in private equity operations, all while continuing to be a thoughtful mentor and coach. His ability to combine real-world experience with practical, personalized guidance makes him an exceptional career coach!

Alfonso’s great experience and knowledge of the job market were key in helping me get my current job. He guided me in creating a modern CV adapted to today’s requirements and gave me the tools to showcase my professional story. Thanks to his support and preparation, I felt confident and ready to perform at my best in the interviews. Alfonso is a charismatic and highly professional person with a clear, effective method that truly works.

Darla is an excellent coach. I’ve had the chance to work with her on several marketing projects, and her feedback has always been actionable, precise, and thoughtful. She was also incredibly supportive during my admissions process for the HEC Paris Masters in Management. Darla has a sharp instinct for what works and consistently goes above and beyond to help you succeed. Plus, it's a lot of fun just to work and talk with her. Highly recommend!
