Square One

I spoke with 8 MBA consulting firms before finally deciding to go with Kathryn. Why? Kathryn was very generous with her time in explaining my MBA options and application strategies to me, even before I became her client. She is friendly, patient, knowledgeable about what the different schools look for in an application, and extremely organized. Kathryn was always on top of things and would make sure you are too, this was important to me especially during essay writing and managing my recommenders, which was both time-consuming and labor intensive. Above all, the part that really made Kathryn stand out was that, unlike most MBA consultants who recommend applicants to apply to certain reach schools, a few realistic schools and a few safety schools based on a 5-minute glance at your GMAT, GPA and your unpolished resume during your first phone consultation, Kathryn encouraged me to never curb my potentials to apply to great schools based on what programs others think you can get into, which was critical in me ultimately getting into Columbia.
