Best guide, mentor, partner, sounding board for your admissions journey

I am an Indian male with a management consulting background. I have limited extra curriculars. My biggest challenge was standing out among the extremely competitive Indian consulting cohort.

1) Julie-Anne is super clear and frank. She encouraged me to apply to a mix of dream, reach & target schools given the competitiveness of cohort. This turned out to be a solid bet as I got 2 amazing admits & 2 waitlists out of 9 applied schools!

2) Julie-Anne brainstormed with me to understand my entire life journey and interests. She understood me as a person which helped bring out stories from my backpacking experiences, specific assignment as a consultant, my passion for music that truly brought out me and helped me stand out in my application

3) She was extremely invested throughout the process. She created resources for resume creation, form filling, interview prep, attending events, networking in schools etc. that made the whole process simple. Her nudges on networking in schools ensured I was well bonded and had a nuanced understanding of how the schools fits with my journey and vica versa. This along with her amazing interview prep guide + mock interview ensured I had amazingly smooth interviews (despite getting a hostile interviewer in some cases). Even on resume, her nudges made my resume stand out (an ad com at a school I got admitted to highlighted how my profile stood out due to that and full credit to Julie-Anne for it).

4) Julie-Anne is not just a consultant, she is available even when you're panicking or worried. E.g. In my 4th/5th application I was starting to lose hope and steam. This started to reflect in my output. She had an honest chat with me about how I was feeling. This nudged me to keep pushing and write authentic + specific stories for all!

5) She has a high bar on each doc. On some schools, she continued to push even though through several iterations to get a clear goal story, why the school, specific experiences/reflections from me. I credit both my admits to this, my applications wouldn't have been half as good without her push!

6) She has amazing clarity on the culture, approach, things to look out for in each schools. This combined with how well she understands your story results in amazing brainstorming sessions where you know what you should speak about in the application!

I would urge you to work with her with your eyes closed. By far the best admissions consultant you can work with!
