Fantastic Experience with SBC

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I cannot stress the value that working with Stacy Blackman Consultants, especially my advisor DD Kane had in the app process and the final results.

1) I was a reapplicant for all 3 of my schools (CBS, Wharton and Sloan). As such, DD helped me going through last year's applications, critiquing them, and developing a coherent story for this year. DD's support was always on point: she usually replied to my questions and draft essays within a few hours, and the feedback was always direct and concise. Her viewpoint as a former Sloan Adcom member was key in making judgement calls about what to include/not include in essays, and in developing a general approach.
2) The larger SBC support group was also key in the process. Specifically for Wharton, I used SBC's option for a "flight test", where Rebekah Johnson, a former Wharton AdCom, goes through the entire application before submitting it, and does an in-depth analysis of it. Likewise, when DD did not know the answer to a particular question, she could turn to the broader team of in-house consultants who answered them for me.
3) When comparing SBC to other consulting firms, it became clear that, despite the large investment in SBC, the programs and setup it offered were clearly superior. I could not be happier with the overall results.
