Strengths:

Avanti Prep’s strengths are its personalized approach, expert guidance, and commitment to client success. Greg provides targeted, actionable feedback across all application materials, helps you craft a unique and compelling story for each school, and consistently goes above and beyond with fast, thoughtful support - making the entire process more effective and less stressful.

Would make the product better:

I worked with Greg at Avanti Prep for my Round 2 MBA applications and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I’m a software engineer from a top state school (3.7+ GPA, GMAT 750+), ORM, with a compelling side project but not a natural communicator. My biggest challenge was figuring out how to stand out and clearly “sell” my story. I found Greg via YouTube, and his transparent, approachable style immediately stood out. What followed was a true partnership: we tackled everything - recommendation letter strategy, essays, interview prep, resume polish, and a lot of last-minute, deadline-driven advice/support. Greg’s feedback came not just through comments in Google Docs or Word, but also over live Google Meet sessions and thoughtful emails, making every round of edits actionable, honest, and directly tailored to each school.

Greg’s real strength is helping you clarify your brand, voice, and story. He never let me settle for surface-level answers and was always pushing for more depth and clarity, no matter how many iterations it took. His school-specific insights were invaluable; every application felt customized rather than generic, and when it came time for interviews, he even researched my real interviewer to tailor the prep. His commitment showed in fast turnaround, transparent communication, and a genuine investment in my results. He treated my goals as his own.

Thanks to Greg’s guidance, I was admitted to both schools I applied to (Stanford GSB and Berkeley Haas) with a significant scholarship at one. If you want expert, honest, and deeply personalized support, I can’t recommend Greg and Avanti Prep enough. I went in thinking Haas was my best-case scenario and came out with Stanford too. Working with Greg truly made all the difference.
