Karen Hamou at Fortuna Admissions

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Working with Karen was great, she was hugely supportive, knowledgeable and helpful. Additionally, I got into my top choice and I am thrilled about that. Would absolutely recommend working with Karen in the future. She responded quickly, happily answered all of my questions, and had a lot of background on the program and plenty of insights into the strategy for managing applications and prioritizing programs. So thankful to Karen for all of her support and insight during this lengthy and time consuming process. Really appreciated all of the help during the application process because there were moments when it was challenging and difficult.

I worked with Karen both in R1 and R@. We worked together on three things - resume, essay and interview. Throughout the process, I was impressed her responsiveness, trustworthiness and flexibility. When I have questions, she usually will get me back with her answers in 4-5 hours, 60% of the times she would get me back within 1 hour. She makes me feel supported alongside.

Karen is also experienced in coaching. I had my interview with CBS right 3 days after I got the invite. Karen did 2 mock interviews with me. In each of the session, she listened carefully to my answers and would identify the inefficiencies in my communication style. The comments she gave me were right to the point. She also helped me structure my answers in later interviews.

She’s also an inspiring coach but someone who won’t make you feel pressured. This quality makes me return to her one time after another. I couldn’t imagine how many more hours I would spend on the application if I were without Karen.
