Eric has been a trusted advisor before, during, and after my wife's MBA. Without him, she wouldn't have gotten into the top 10 program she did.

CHICHI : MY MBA JOURNEY Chichi's guidance was instrumental throughout my entire MBA application process, from initial planning to interview success and ultimately, my acceptance with scholarships. During the first phase, we had a session which Chichi termed “a chat” and all she did was ask me questions, listen, and simultaneously draw up an “MBA checklist” as she termed it. The “MBA checklist” gave me a roadmap of the entire MBA application journey at a glance, including timelines and other details. The session was my first encounter with someone regarding my MBA journey; setting me at ease. The questions spanned across my career journey, goals, expectations from business school, a list of schools I would love to apply to and why. Application Resume : Following this session, Chichi returned with a transformed copy of my resume that aligned with MBA standards, highlighted key details about my achievements, including things I had casually mentioned during our first session. I would like to say that my resume has never looked that good! She even went beyond, suggesting additional schools that perfectly aligned with my post-MBA goals. Recommendations : Chichi drafted outstanding introductory letters, reminding my recommenders of key details and my motivations for pursuing an MBA. One recommender even remarked on the letter's quality and how it jogged their memory about specific moments in our working relationship. Essay writing: the most impactful advice I got during my essay process was from Chichi - “Journal as much as possible. Every idea, every memory is valuable. The story will make sense eventually." Chichi unearthed the most amazing stories from all of my essays, I would love to describe it as seeing broader, seeing closer and seeing everything! Her guidance and editing skills brought everything to life. Interview : I applied to the top 8/10 MBA programs and got interview invites to 6 out of 8. During interview prep, Chichi emphasized authenticity: "Speak naturally, tell your story passionately. The admissions committee has read your application and wants to hear your story in your own voice." This advice resonated deeply, and I believe it contributed immensely to my success. She requested feedback from every interview and refined my approach for the next - I got better by a mile for each subsequent one! Navigating the Waitlist: Even after a successful interview at one school, I found myself on the waitlist. Chichi, ever resourceful, began strategizing how to navigate this hurdle. Thankfully, I received an offer from another top choice before needing to implement that strategy. Success Story : As an international Nigerian applicant, I landed two full rides! Thank you, Chichi, for making this incredible journey possible.

Paul is wonderful at helping others and explaining things in a manner that is easy to comprehend. I went to college with Paul and I saw him tutor/help so many students during that time. He is easy to approach and his passion for helping others shines through in his work. He would make a great coach because he works hard, makes time for others, and is very patient when teaching.

Paul Garbarino is as good as they come. He has continuously impressed me over the 10 years of our personal and professional relationship. He is not only a hard and dedicated student but a truly caring friend as well.

Paul is an excellent mentor and leader who has been a consistent role model in my life for 6 years. He puts his mentees and students first and works tirelessly to support their educational and professional development.

Lucia helped me craft my essays for a couple different MBA applications. Her ability to write concisely and efficiently helped my application stand out. I knew she had plenty of success when applying to medical school and so I was confident she could help me in my situation. Couldn’t recommend her help enough.

Lindsay is an outstanding coach and mentor. Her insights into both professional and personal matters have been incredibly beneficial to me over the last ten years. Her career guidance remains as relevant to me today in a leadership role, as it was, when I was starting out in my career. Lindsay brings a rich and varied experience to her mentoring, and always listens and delivers her advice with genuine empathy and sincerity. Having her support as you advance in your career is truly invaluable.

Macy is practiced and knowledgeable of the LSAT, but what makes her stand out to me is her compassion and cheerful attitude for those who struggle with test anxiety. She bolstered my confidence and helped me to feel more prepared for test day.

Ben was a fantastic mentor for me as I built out my business plan and took my business idea to the next level. I am very grateful for his help and support throughout my journey.
