Melissa and I started working together in May. For various personal reasons, it was important that I applied by the first INSEAD deadline (early October). Given that I had not yet practiced or taken a GMAT test yet, it was clear that this was going to be a challenge.

We kicked off with a detailed conversation about my motivations, goals, and achievements to date. For the next 5 months, Melissa laid out a clear plan and ensured that I met every deadline we set.

Melissa supported with essay writing, reference prompts, application form filling, and
she also introduced me to an excellent GMAT tutor (Stuart Park).

We went through 4 iterations of essays, 5 iterations of a CV and I took the GMAT test 4 times. Once I received an interview, we also conducted interview practice, which was really helpful.

Beyond providing expert advice, Melissa was incredibly supportive throughout and was excellent at prompting me and managing the process to ensure I hit the deadline I set.
If you are considering applying to INSEAD, I strongly recommend using Melissa to help you get there!
