I am extremely grateful to have had Debbie as a coach throughout the application process.

I worked with Debbie through multiple months from strategizing when to apply to my top choice programs, to prepping for the GMAT and writing my application, and also working through the interview process. Debbie was a very thoughtful, strategic and encouraging consultant who gave me a lot of confidence that I was positioning myself as best as I could to the schools I was applying to. I particularly appreciated the time Debbie took to help me brainstorm and write my essays, and coach me through the interview process.

I was accepted to my top choice program, and I do not think I could have gotten there without Debbie.

I worked with Debbie for R1 2023 entry and had the best experience I could've ever asked for.

While I did have an idea of the storyline I wanted to tell, Debbie with her years of expertise found common traits from my experiences and artfully suggested themes. Many of my essays were on version 15+ and she was able to provide thoughtful feedback no matter what stage the essays were at or pulled me back when she noticed that the previous way of phrasing is more authentic. She was also a huge emotional support when I had self-doubt and cheered me on giving me confidence that what I submitted was genuine and truly told my story. The interview mocks were also extremely helpful as she right away pointed out areas I can be more articulate in which allowed me to focus during subsequent practices.

With Debbie's help, I secured interviews with 3 out of the 5 schools I applied to (all M7) and am happy to share that I received an offer to join HBS, my dream school! I could not have gotten to where I am without her help and highly recommend her to anyone seeking support!

I purchased the mbaMission 5 MBA program package, applying to Darden, Haas, Kellogg, Tuck, and Wharton Round 1. I chose mbaMission and my Consultant, Debbie Choy, through word of mouth (one of my closest college friends had used her successfully the year prior).

I most appreciated Debbie's flexibility and timeliness; whenever I submitted materials for her review, I would always receive feedback within 48 hours (often within 24 hours).

Fortunately, there was no MBA application Round 2, given I was admitted to several schools, including my top choice program. I would recommend using both mbaMission and Debbie to anyone going through the MBA application process!

I first heard about mbaMission through Manhattan. Their book on MBA admissions surpassed my expectations. After researching their consultants, I found Debbie seemed like an experienced, direct, kind, and serious professional. I was right, Debbie was great! She always delivered timely, concise, and direct feedback. Debbie was with me every step of the application process and helped me get into Stanford and MIT.

As a Stanford alumna and consultant professional, she provides key perspectives and critical information that I couldn't have found otherwise. I was impressed with how well she understood me throughout this brainstorming session; this was key to the story I shared in my essay.

Working with Debbie has been an incredible experience so far. I worked with Debbie on 4 highly competitive M7 schools for Round 1 - with her guidance and counsel, I received interview invitations with 3 of these schools and have already been accepted to 1 so far (M7 / Ivy League).

Debbie has been thoughtful, strategic, and honest with me. She has supported me through the ups and downs of this difficult process, and has truly been the wind beneath my wings. As an international South Asian male working in finance (with test scores below average!), I belong to several overrepresented categories all at once. Through working with Debbie, I was able to discover how I could best position my background and experiences in a competitive way.

There is no way I would already have a top MBA acceptance for next fall without her help. If you have the opportunity to work with Debbie, go for it - it is 100% worth it.

I can confidently recommend MBAmission and Gavriella to anyone applying, it’s worth the time and money!

I worked with Jen on my MBA application for INSEAD and Cambridge and she was absolutely fantastic. Starting with our joint brainstorming for the essays, where she helped me tremendously in selecting the episodes from my life that could have relevance to the applications, and then sorting them out on the essay topics so that they would paint a comprehensive picture of my strengths. Followed by writing the essays together, where we sent numerous drafts back and forth between us and Jen had a great sense of the strengths and weaknesses of individual drafts and also never shied away from communicating her honest opinion about what I had written, even if it needed us to redraft entire essays. Finally, the joint preparation for the interviews was also extremely helpful. Jen is also extremely knowledgeable about the intricacies of MBA applications and what admissions committees want to see in applications and was always readily available when I had any questions. But above all, Jen is extremely friendly and empathetic, and an absolute pleasure to work with, which is extremely important given the workload of one or more MBA applications. For me, hiring Jen was so worth it, because not only did I get acceptances for both of my applications, but I also received a scholarship from one of the schools, which means that my investment has already paid off.

Looking back, I’m so glad that I chose Debbie to help me with my MBA journey. During my search for a consultant, I often felt that I was not good enough for my dream school as well as my other top targets; however, Debbie had a more optimistic approach. Having been denied at my target schools once in the past, I was worried, but she was able to look at the positives and always brought it back to my strengths. Through this process of re-applying, I can confidently say that Debbie truly cares.

She is detail oriented, on time, friendly, and constructive. She is extremely accessible and easy to work with. Even though I always had a lot of questions, she was patient enough to answer them. Through her support, I was able to craft my re-applicant story and received admission at my dream school. She was so thrilled when I got in, and I could tell how much she was invested in my success.

She would even jump on Zoom calls with me to conduct mock interviews. She is extremely honest in her assessments, and that made me fine tune my approach to become a better interviewee. For those of you considering an MBA consultant, I would easily go with Debbie. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that asks me.

Truly, I owe a debt of gratitude to Debbie!

Jen was extremely helpful, thoughtful, and supportive throughout my MBA application process. During our first brainstorm session, she helped me reflect on my personal and professional experiences to identify personality traits, accomplishments, goals, and stories that I highlighted in my essays - this experience allowed me to learn more about myself by elucidating my motivations for going to business school and how I could best contribute to an MBA program’s community. Jen also provided structured feedback on my resume to make my bullets easier to understand across audiences and to quantify the impact I had through my work projects. In addition, Jen’s comments on my essays were constructive, easy to follow, and shared in a timely manner with me - I especially appreciated Jen’s probing questions and suggestions for how I should consider expanding upon sections of writing to emphasize the “so what” and implications in the context of my MBA goals. Jen consistently provided clear expectations of when she wanted to review drafts of my essays and when she would be available to send back edits, helping me stay on track and finish my applications without any rush before the deadline. After I received interview invites, Jen coached me through several rounds of mock interviews, and she gave me useful tips for presenting myself (both professionally and as my genuine self) and responding to typical and curveball interview questions. Finally, I am so grateful for Jen’s tremendous support during the entire application process - as my cheerleader, she motivated me to give my application my best shot and to maintain a high morale. I applied to Wharton HCM, Booth, Kellogg, and CBS, and I was admitted to all four schools - I also received several scholarships! A big THANK YOU to Jen for being an incredible partner in this experience. I highly recommend her to anyone who is applying to business school!

I am eternally grateful for Jen. She was motivating and positive. This was my second year applying to school. My dream school was Oxford and after being rejected last year, I was feeling very discouraged. Jen helped me to stay motivated and craft a really compelling story for my application. She added a ton of value to making my story and motivations cohesive.

We did so many iterations of my essays and resume and Jen never slowed down. I was so impressed with her turnaround time and the thoroughness of her reviews. And then I got an interview! She was a fantastic coach and really helped to boost my confidence prior to the interview. Words can’t express how grateful I am that I had her in my corner. I ended up with two offers for my top two schools - Oxford and Cambridge! I even had a scholarship offer, which was amazing!

If you are thinking about using Jen, DO IT! You will not regret it and you can be assured that the best version of you will be presented to your dream school!
