My experience with Kelly was exceptional. As an international applicant with a non-traditional background — a psychologist with less than two years of full-time, post-undergraduate work experience — I was initially intimidated by the MBA application process. Kelly’s expertise and unwavering support were invaluable in helping me navigate every step of the journey.
She carefully reviewed my resume, transcripts, and personal narrative, even reaching out to admissions committee members to assess whether my target programs were realistically within reach. With full transparency, she also explained which schools might be too much of a stretch given my professional experience and quantitative background.
Once we finalized my target list, Kelly went above and beyond to help me craft an authentic, compelling story that reflected my true self and demonstrated my cultural fit with each program. She even sought additional feedback from her colleagues to ensure my applications were as strong as possible.
Thanks to her guidance, I was admitted to my dream school — a top 10 MBA program. I couldn’t have done it without her. More than a consultant, Kelly is a true partner who genuinely roots for your success.
Thank you so much, Kelly!

Neha is the most important asset of Oncourse. She was amazing. I wish there were more Neha’s in Oncourse.

Oncourse had been recommended by a friend. After my GMAT, I contacted several reputed counselors. However, the positivity, simplicity and can-do attitude of Neha won my heart. Neha and I had several discussions on my profile. Her expertise in making me comfortable and understanding my strengths was top-notch. She, somehow, created a theme of my life that I wasn't aware of. Her approach was holistic: ambitious yet practical. She motivated me to apply to top colleges but also ensured that I apply to achievable colleges as well. During the entire process, I had contacted her at wee hours but she was always approachable and welcoming. More than a consultant, Neha was the mentor to me by providing me specific areas of work and giving me personalized feedback. I can realise the changes in me after going through the process. My admission to Kellogg is only because of her efforts and dedication. I would highly recommend Neha and Oncourse to any candidate seeking admission to B-School.

I had an amazing experience with Accepted! Applying to schools is never fun, but working with Kelly made this stressful process much easier. From guiding me through the process of telling my story to navigating confusing application portals, Kelly served as more of a mentor than just an essay consultant. She was in constant communication throughout the application process, and she even checked in after I had submitted my applications. Kelly tailored her advice to my interests, and we worked together to make sure that my application fully represented me and my career interests. Although my full-time job made it difficult for me to meet often, Kelly was very accommodating. Her feedback was clear and engaging, and there was no point in the process where I felt directionless. Without Kelly, I would not have had such a streamlined and successful application process. I highly recommend working with Kelly if you are applying to MBA programs!

There are consultants, and then there's Kelly - someone who redefines what true mentorship looks like.

When I began my MBA application journey, I was overwhelmed, unsure, scattered, and honestly, not confident that I could even pull off one admit. But then came Kelly - with her rare combination of calmness, strategic insights, relentless precision, and deeply human insight.

What sets her apart is her approach. She didn’t just ask me about goals or resume lines - she asked the kind of questions that forced me to pause, reflect, and rediscover who I am. The document she asked me to create early on based on soul searching prompts became my north star. It not only helped her understand me but more importantly, it helped me understand myself. That process alone changed how I approached every essay, every interview, and honestly to an extent how I approach life now.

And if you think this is a transactional relationship, you're in for a surprise. The contract may have promised one or two mock interviews but Kelly gave me her time, attention, and presence far beyond anything I expected. For every school I applied to, she stood by me calm, sharp, and encouraging - running multiple mock interviews, fine-tuning my delivery, and boosting my confidence when I needed it most.

She didn’t let anything slide. Every draft was challenged, every sentence refined, every idea sharpened. And not because she’s tough - but because she cares deeply. She believed in my potential, even when I doubted it myself.

I owe every admit I received to her. Truly.

If you're lucky enough to work with Kelly, know this:
She will push you. She will question you. She will make you uncomfortable.
And in the process, she will bring out a version of you that you didn’t know existed.

Kelly, thank you for everything. For being my guide, my sounding board, and the quiet force behind one of the most transformative journeys of my life.

This wasn’t just admissions consulting.
This was mentorship.
This was alignment.
This was magic.

Kelly is really great at getting to know you and digging into your story. Her ability to help you craft your experiences into something that resonates with admissions committees was incredible. The transformation in my writing from the beginning to where I ended up after her feedback was marvelous. I could not recommend her more.

I just can’t get over how great of a partner Kelly was to have by my side through this process. She has an uncanny ability to really feel like your partner through the process, not just a consultant. She has an incredible style to be able to push you to dig deeper and share your story in a way that resonates with the admission committee. Having recently been on that side of the fence, she has an incredible perspective on it. I would not have been able to get into my number 1 choice of the M7 schools (with a scholarship!) without her help and support! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with her, and I’m confident you’ll have the same feeling at the end of your journey.

After researching other services, I decided to go with Accepted and work with Esmeralda Cardenal to help with my application materials. I am so happy I chose to work with her! She was amazing and helped me organize, craft, and create my own essays for two master's programs. One was for a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Manufacturing Engineering and the other was for a Master of Science (M.S.) in Environment and Sustainability, both at the University of Michigan, with the goal of earning dual degrees. She provided honest feedback about my chances of getting into other programs, and I appreciated her insight. She looked over my essays and resume, and provided helpful feedback in a timely manner. She was always able to answer any question or concern I had. She was also super supportive throughout the whole process! Through working with her, I was admitted into both programs, which were my top choices!! Now, from reflecting as a recent graduate from both programs that Esmeralda helped me get accepted into, I can't thank Esmeralda enough. Working with Esmeralda was worth it, and I am so grateful for everything she did. I couldn't have done this without her amazing help and support! I highly recommend Accepted and Esmeralda!

Esmeralda was an incredible help as I was applying to MBA programs. She has a real knack for helping people realize what is unique about themselves as applicants, even when they have trouble seeing it. She was also a wizard in helping me to bring out my specific background, achievements, and goals clearly and succinctly in my essays and resume. With her encouragement and feedback, I was able to share my story much more effectively, and I was ultimately accepted into the Stanford MBA program. I'm truly grateful for Esmeralda's support throughout the application process, and I highly recommend her to anyone working on their application.

Kelly was an incredible person to work with, and I could not have gotten into my dream M7 school without her help.

Kelly is amazingly dedicated and passionate about helping her students. She truly goes above and beyond – helping students at all hours of the day. What really sets her apart, though, is how she continuously motivates you to achieve your full potential. Also, since Kelly was an admissions director/dean until relatively recently, her insights into what admissions committees look for are all “fresh”/up-to-date.

I am also very grateful for how proactive, organized, and responsive Kelly was throughout even the busiest stretches of the admissions cycle. She would continuously check-in with me and make sure I had all the support I needed to submit a strong application. I highly, highly recommend working with Kelly! My only regret is that I didn’t start working with her earlier in the applications cycle!

I was able to make it to the only B school that I had applied for i.e ISB. Thanks to Experts Global.
I had an exceptional experience with Experts Global as my admission consultant. Their commitment to time-bound excellence was truly commendable, ensuring every aspect of the admission process was handled efficiently and effectively. The assistance provided with essays was nothing short of phenomenal; their guidance elevated my writing to new heights. Additionally, the mock interview questions were invaluable in preparing me for the real thing, instilling confidence and clarity in my responses. While their generic question sets were insightful, I believe there's room for improvement in offering more personalized question sets tailored to individual students. Nonetheless, this minor suggestion doesn't overshadow the outstanding service provided. Overall, Experts Global exceeded my expectations with their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering support throughout the admission journey. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking guidance in their academic pursuits. Five stars without a doubt.

I am delighted to share my heartfelt recommendation for Ms. Christie from Accepted.com, who played an integral role in my acceptance into the Wharton Executive MBA program. Her expertise, dedication, and unwavering support were invaluable throughout the application process. To be honest, I was very late in the admission process and a little bit panicked, but she managed to calm me down and provided great direction. From our initial consultation to the final submission, Ms. Christie provided personalized guidance that helped me present the best version of myself. Her deep understanding of the Wharton Executive MBA program's requirements and her keen insights into the admission process were evident in every interaction. She coached me through my EA exam process, which was very stressful. She meticulously reviewed my essays, offering constructive feedback that enhanced the clarity and impact of my message. Moreover, her interview preparation sessions were invaluable in honing my communication skills and ensuring I was fully prepared to showcase my potential. I am immensely grateful to Ms. Christie for her exceptional coaching, and I attribute my acceptance to Wharton's Executive MBA program in large part to her guidance and expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking to navigate the competitive admissions process and achieve their educational goals.
