Michelle has been key to the admissions of multiple MBA candidates to GSB and other top programs. She’s been mentored by Kirsten Moss, the former head of admissions for both GSB and HBS, and has insider knowledge on how applications are evaluated. She is heavily involved with MBA admissions at GSB, working closely with the admissions team. She goes above and beyond what candidates have expected and brings heart, care, and dedication to every person she helps with admissions.

I reached out to Helaman about nearly 5 years ago when I was considering graduate programs. I was impressed with his willingness to help out a stranger, not to mention his expertise. You can tell that Helaman takes time to extract lessons from his experiences and pass those lessons to others with passion. I was accepted into a graduate program at Columbia University, and Helaman was one of the first I had initial conversations with.

Matt has helped me through both personal and business decisions through his skills as an integral coach. I feel heard and seen in his presence. He is a wonderful caring person and this naturally shows up in his coaching. I especially appreciate the integrative approach that is unique to his training, after all we are whole people and one aspect of life can and often does affect another. I highly recommend working with Matt!

Helaman is one of the most gifted and talented people I’ve ever met. I can say with full confidence that I wouldn’t have gotten into HBS without him. What sets Helaman apart isn’t just how smart he is—it’s his ability to truly understand people. He takes the time to get to know you, uncover what really matters, and help you shape your story around that. Nothing about his process is surface-level. It’s thoughtful, personal, and intentional. He knows exactly what the bar is—and he’ll make sure you clear it. We went through draft after draft until every line felt right. He won’t stop until it’s your BEST work. I’ve been pushing for Helaman to join Leland for over a year because I genuinely believe he was THE difference in my application.

Best person I know at HBS!

Liz has been extremely helpful and diligent in guiding me through the law school application process. She has many years of experience working in a law school admissions office and knows what they are looking for. It was a pleasure working with Liz as she is very personable and easy to work with. She was always very responsive to my questions and in providing feedback on my applications. If I should ever need help with applications in the future, Liz will be the first person I contact.

Lynn was incredible to work with; she’s insightful, thoughtful, and shares helpful feedback leading to growth and improvement. She understands the industry and can speak to what is needed to be a top performer. A pleasure to collaborate with, Lynn makes you feel seen and heard when you may be discounting your skills. She’s a great advisor/sme/counselor and more, thankful to have her in my corner!

I worked with Ade during my MBA admissions process and was immediately struck by his genuine commitment to helping others succeed. He offered thoughtful, detailed, and creative feedback on my essays that significantly strengthened my narrative. His mix of sharp insight and encouraging guidance made my essays both effective and motivating. I highly recommend Ade to anyone seeking smart, sincere, and strategic support throughout their MBA journey.

Papa Kojo's guidance was pivotal in writing my application essays and structuring my CV for my University of Cambridge application, where I was awarded a full scholarship covering travel, tuition, and living expenses. I’ve since referred him to several others, many of whom have also gained admission to their chosen institutions with scholarships. His insight, strategic approach, and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an invaluable resource for anyone navigating competitive academic applications.

Papa Kojo was instrumental in my admission to Cambridge Judge Business School with full funding. He provided consistent guidance throughout my interviews and encouraged me to approach multiple colleges for additional funding, which proved successful. He also reviewed my emails to the admissions team and advised on essay structure. During interview prep, he went above and beyond ensuring my outfit complemented my background on camera. His support was practical, thorough, and deeply motivating. I greatly value his down-to-earth nature, professionalism, and work ethic, and I highly recommend him.
