So grateful to Liza for her help!

Some background: international applicant who has been working for the past few years in my country's public sector (defense). Did my undergrad and masters' in engineering at top 10 US schools. Thanks to Liza's help, I managed to secure admissions to MIT Sloan (with fellowship).

My background was extremely non-traditional. I knew that I had to get an admissions consultant who understood my story and was able to translate that into something that the admissions committees of top MBA programs would find attractive. Among the 5 consultants that I spoke to during my search, Liza was the one I was most impressed with. I felt that she was someone who was really excited about my candidacy, knew what exactly I needed help with, and what I could highlight to my advantage (even in the initial consult!).

There were several things that Liza did for me that stood out:

1. She was relentless in probing me for my story. I found it difficult to put together the initial brainstorming document because I was not used to talking/writing about myself. But Liza posed the right questions that helped me tease out the key traits/themes of my story.

2. Detailed, highly valuable interview prep. I was really nervous for interviews. But Liza's mock sessions made all the difference - She taught me how to structure my responses so that I could convey a clear story that the interviewer could follow and take away from. She reminded me to explain jargon that I was used to but my interviewer wasn't. She helped me to refine questions that I wanted to pose to the interviewer.

3. She is the best cheerleader! There were times when I felt demotivated and defeated because I was overwhelmed with work or got a rejection but she was always there with kind words and cheers!

Overall, I would definitely recommend Liza! She really puts in 110% for her clients. I would not have been able to get into my top choice (and get a fellowship) without her.
