Highly Recommended!! (HBS Admit)

I initially got to know Alice and Menlo coaching through recommendations from two of my friends, who both worked with Alice in their respective application cycles and received great results (one HBS admit and another CBS admit). I participated in the Early Bird program and Alice has always been my primary contact. As a member of the Early Bird program, I started learning about admission basics and planning my applications way in advance (more than one year before the R1 deadline in 2019). Alice has been extremely instrumental in this process - we spent hours on the phone going through my personal stories and she pushed me very hard to reflect on my experiences and find unique angles in my story. Without the help from Alice, I would not have been able to craft a great essay which I used for my HBS application. Another perks of working with Menlo is that you get to receive inputs from other team members as well. During the summer before R1 deadline, I was able to work with Alice and Leslie at the same time. It benefited me tremendously as I can get support almost 24 x 7 - I am based in Asia and I can always get feedback on my essay / get my questions answered within a short period of time. Moreover, Alice and Leslie both have their own specialties, and I benefited from both of them.

Overall, Alice and her team are truly amazing - they are extremely knowledgable about the MBA application and they can offer you candid and sharp feedback on your plan / school selection / application materials. They are also very easy to work with, and they genuinely care about you and your applications. I would highly recommend Alice and the Menlo team to anyone who is seriously considering apply for MBA, especially for the top schools.
