Drew Hoff helped me craft my story and helped me reach my dream school

I was introduced to Amerasia and specifically Drew through my older brother. With Drew’s help, my oldest brother was accepted into Wharton and the Lauder program. Seeing as my brother had a high-quality experience and success working with Drew, I knew I would have the same. I reached out to Drew early on in the MBA application process after achieving a 700 on the GMAT in May of 2023! We had our introduction meeting and Drew emailed me a list of personality-type questions to try to understand more about me on a personal level and how we could work together to craft my story. We decided what schools were a good fit for me and then instantly began working on the essays. Drew’s approach to the essays and overall application process is a structured and organized approach, with school-specific detailed memos that dig into the core values and principles of each school and what their admissions committee is looking for. After reading through the memos, you get a real sense of how to approach and start your essays. Throughout the drafting and editing process, Drew and I worked together to refine my story. After each iteration of my essays, Drew provided useful feedback that I was able to incorporate to improve my essays. After a handful of drafts, we prepared well-rounded essays that responded to the prompts.


Aside from the essays, Drew provided assistance with updating and formatting my resume and prepared me for the interview process at each school which was very helpful.

Drew was a pleasure to work with - always kind and respectful - and he was very responsive. It was a great feeling knowing that Drew was always available and willing to help with whatever I needed. Despite living on the east coast, while Drew lives on the west coast, we were always able to make our scheduling work.

With 4.5 years of work experience in Commercial Banking, I applied to four schools with his help: Duke Fuqua (Early Decision), Virginia Darden (Early Decision), Texas McCombs (R1), and UNC Kenan-Flagler (R1). With a GMAT score of 700 and a GPA of 3.86, we concluded that Fuqua fell into the range of a high-end target / low-end reach school for me. With his help, I was accepted into both Fuqua ($30k scholarship) and Darden (no scholarship)! While both are great schools, I am excited to share that I am attending Duke Fuqua in Fall of 2024! As I decided to apply Early Decision, I wanted to be respectful to both McCombs and Kenan-Flagler and withdrew my application after I decided on Duke Fuqua.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Drew and Amerasia - it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The overall experience was first-class and I am now attending my dream school! If you are looking for an MBA consultant who is dedicated to his craft, provides supportive guidance throughout the entire process, and will help you submit a thorough and high-quality application to your prospective schools, then I highly recommend working with Drew and Amerasia.

Thank you, Drew!
