My experience with Jessica was amazing.

I am an over-represented majority from a business school applicant perspective based on occupation, demographics, undergrad major, and location and was really worried about how I could stand out when I first started the process. To make things worse, before I started with Jessica I also was struggling to verbalize my journey and why I wanted to purse an MBA.

From our first brainstorming session, Jessica was able to extract so much about me and my journey that I had not been able to put into words myself. She also very quickly was able to guide me on where I needed to go deeper and what aspects of my journey might connect. Through all of this, Jessica not only helped me define why I wanted to purse an MBA, she also helped me verbalize my overall story despite what felt like me not giving her much to work with. Jessica helped me dig really deep (for me) to come up with stories that made me stand out and were successful for every school I applied to.

Going into the process I was concerned that with my job and personal responsibilities, I was not going to be able to put enough time and effort into essay brainstorming and writing. Luckily for me, Jessica is efficient. Even in the early brainstorming sessions, Jessica was always super prepared going into each session. Not only that, but Jessica would come with multiple options at each step so no time was ever wasted. On top of that, Jessica's feedback was always very tangible and upfront saving any unnecessary churn.

Without Jessica there is no way I would have gotten into the schools I did. Beyond that, there's no way I would have experienced the reflection and growth she helped me through as we put together my story and applications. Really appreciate everything Jessica did for me and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Melissa was an unbelievable partner and resource throughout the admissions process. She provided amazing advice and suggestions and was always super quick to provide feedback and answer ad-hoc questions as they came up. Working with Melissa put my mind at ease throughout the essay writing process, filling out application forms, and especially interviewing. Melissa's advice and guidance on how I could best prepare for interviews, and working with her on practice interviews, ensured I was ready to go. I feel that working with Melissa provided tremendous value and allowed me to enhance my applications. I would highly recommend working with her.

I can't recommend Kim enough! Her help throughout the entire application process was invaluable. She helped with each aspect of the application from school selection, the application itself, and interview preparation.

She really took the time to understand me, my background, and my story and helped me showcase it in throughout my application. Her suggestions were incredibly thoughtful and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients success and goes above and beyond to help them get into their dream program!

I am so thankful I had the opportunity to work with Kim and could not recommend her more!

It’s hard to overstate what a thoughtful, sharp, responsive, creative, brilliant and kind admissions consultant Susan was during the MBA admission process. I applied to only one MBA program and am happy to say I was accepted to Wharton. As a non-traditional applicant (practicing physician), Susan was able to quickly identify the most important and impactful aspects of my past and help me weave them into an fluid story and airtight application. In fact, I refined my own goals through the process of working with her. Through helping me put the pieces of my journey together, she also helped me feel more empowered about my own narrative, reminded me of the value of coaching, and helped me to become a better story-teller.

As these application processes can be stressful and daunting, her positivity and encouragement were instrumental for me. Another highlight was the precise, accurate interview preparation she put me through and her responsiveness throughout the process- I never felt like I was in this process solo. It was clear that she was 100% invested in my success.

I feel very fortunate to have been put in touch with Susan.

I worked with Nisha to apply to HSW during the 2023-2024 application cycles, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications - I got accepted into H and W, an outcome that I could only dream of prior to getting the acceptance letters from both schools!

I came to Nisha feeling generally confused and overwhelmed by the work required to pull my applications together, and she immediately helped structure the approach for me to make it digestible and doable. Starting from our first meeting, Nisha set about understanding what has been important in my life; she kept that top of mind while working with me to develop applications that reflected me in the best ways possible for each school. Nisha was crucial for my essays, recommender selection and preparation, interview prep, and all of the small parts of applications that I didn't even know existed!

Nisha worked closely with me to brainstorm content for essays and then took a rigorous approach to pulling out the best stories that I could tell for each essay prompt. I truly felt cared for and supported as we went through brainstorming sessions, topic selection, outline reviews, and many, many essay drafts before we felt confident that I had well-rounded and complete essays to submit. She applied the same level of detail to the other big parts of my applications (recommender selection, interview prep, etc.), and even the small parts that gave me extra concern. I can honestly say that working with Nisha allowed me to leave no stone unturned and propelled me towards putting my best foot forward for each of the applications that we worked on together.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications, and I recommend working with her to anyone who is serious about applying to top programs!

Crafting good application essays has always been a challenge for me as a non-native English speaker, but Krista helped me navigate through the journey effectively. During the brainstorming sessions, she helped me find highlights in my career and daily life, and encouraged me to incorporate them into my applications, advice that turned out to be extremely effective and made my essay outstanding. Before drafting an essay, she would help me organize my thoughts and go over the essay structure, which greatly assisted me in making the essays flow logically. The interview prep sessions proved to be effective as well, as we prepared a lot of questions that were later asked during the interviews. Looking back, I realize that I initially underestimated the amount of workload required for the MBA application and the value of an admissions consultant. Working with Krista was one of the best decisions I made during my application journey. She saved me a lot of time and truly made everything possible.

I would highly recommend Krista. She helped me brainstorm some brilliant ideas for my essays, refine my interview answers, and secure two offers from my top choices. She's super friendly and respectful. She truly cares about your success.

If you're reading this review, congratulations on reaching the end of your MBA consultant search! No need to look any further.

(Spoiler: I got into two M7's, one of which was my top choice.)

Working with Rachel was one of the easiest and best decisions I made throughout my application process. She is an admissions guru who brings a one-of-a-kind personal touch to every single client interaction.

Yes, she knows the process and schools like the back of her hand. Duh. But she also provides the intangibles that can make or break an application process: she is consistently warm, encouraging, responsive, honest, thoughtful, and patient.

I came to Rachel with a liberal arts degree, non-traditional job, and "side career" as an artist. Rachel was by my side from day 1, helping me dig deep for the goals, motivations, and stories that would ultimately shape the strongest, most unapologetically authentic applications I could have possibly written. Fast forward to this Fall: I'll be attending my top choice M7 school.

I'm a writer at heart, and even I can't come up with the words to describe how highly I'd recommend Rachel.

Rachel helped tremendously in the brainstorm process. I had many ideas, and thought all of them were great but hard to choose one from. Rachel helped me see the bigger picture that really encompassed everything I wanted to share about myself. That was a huge unlock, and I resonated with her immediately when she brought up her idea. Then she would put tremendous amount of time helping fix the essay word by word while still keeping my tone. She is also very responsive whenever I need her help. I particularly loved her way of preparing me for the interviews. She made the whole process easy and helped me understand the key for those interviews.

I’m a middle-career working mom living in a Shanghai. Katy just supported me complete the Wharton EMBA global cohort application a few days ago. It is such a pleasant experience working with Katy in the past few months.

Apart from all the amazing advice Katy provided to me, I would love to particularly highlight a few aspects which I found most helpful:

- Broaden my perspectives to find the right program. A few months ago, I was only interested in GSB MSx. However, my life stage would make going there unrealistic. After talking with Katy, I found the Wharton global EMBA format is the most FIT one for me since I'm a working mom taking care of my three-year old twins. I would not apply to this program if I did not work with her

- Find the coherent life and career story / topic for application. After reading my brainstorm document, Katy captured the powerful storyline, which is exactly what my company is doing and also is what I'm personally interested due to my personal experiences.  

- Being a bridge between my experiences and the application requirements. Katy’s long-term accumulated experience made the application process so effective and efficient!
