So happy I chose Tatiana and Fortuna for my applications!

Strengths:

The comprehensive package helped me work through the entire application process, I loved having the ability to set up a call with Tatiana every time I had a lot of questions or to take the time to share my story and experiences to frame it in the best way possible in my applications. I felt really supported during this process.

Would make the product better:

The only thing I would improve is having more opportunities to get more mock interviews that are customizable to each school since I only got one mock.

I am so happy I chose Tatiana for my application process! As an international student, I knew I needed professional help to navigate MBA applications since I didn't even know where to start. After talking to multiple consultants, I knew Tatiana was right for me because we came from the same country, and I felt she truly understood my background and accomplishments within my context.

I can't emphasize enough how incredibly important her help was during each stage. Even before working with her, she kept cheering me on when I didn't achieve the test scores I was aiming for. When I was about to throw in the towel and wait to apply next year, she encouraged me to double down and apply this year because she knew I already had a strong profile.

She not only helped me establish a good cadence to complete all the materials on time for the R1 deadlines, but she also taught me how to leverage my strengths and showcase them in the best way possible in my essays. She was always available when I needed to talk to her and provided feedback on corrections and materials at a fast pace.


I also want to mention that, coming to this process as an engineer, I realized most of what I initially wanted to say was too technical or didn't highlight the attributes B-schools value, like leadership, strategic thinking, and mentorship. However, Tatiana took the time to first understand my story, strengths, and experience. Then, she helped me frame everything in a way that resonated with the schools.

I'm really happy to say that, thanks to her help, I secured interviews with 2 of my top 3 choices (HBS and MIT) and ultimately got admitted to MIT with a fellowship! All this knowing that I had low test scores for those schools.

If you want a coach who is ready to learn everything about you to help you communicate your story in the best way possible, Tatiana is the one.
