Working with Kelsey was, without a doubt, the best decision I made during my MBA application journey. I was accepted at HSW even with below average test scores and a non-traditional background. Kelsey helped me highlight my differentiating factors—my leadership experience, uniqueness of my non-traditional background, and the impact I’ve made. Her ability to see the bigger picture helped me shape compelling, authentic narratives that truly reflected who I am.
Kelsey’s breadth of knowledge across multiple industries was incredibly valuable when it came to refining my short and long-term goals. She pushed me to be specific, strategic, and realistic. She knew exactly how to position my goals in a way that resonated with each program, tying together my past experiences and future ambitions, which was key.
Even though I knew she had other clients, it always felt like I had her full attention. Her responsiveness and turnaround times were incredible, especially during crunch time. I genuinely don’t know how she does it.
I also did two mock interviews with her—one focused on general MBA and behavioral questions, and another more advanced session that dug into the "why" behind my professional and personal life choices. That second interview was especially helpful in giving me a framework to approach a wide range of questions with clarity and confidence.
