Kelsey Kephart, A Miracle Worker

If you are considering using a consultant for the MBA application process, you should absolutely choose Kelsey! When I first started exploring who I wanted to work with, many people only asked about my stats and wrote me off, saying that my GPA was too low (< 3.0 GPA), my test scores weren't strong enough (665 GMAT), or that my target school list was unrealistic (which truthfully might have been). But when I met with Kelsey, she took the time to really understand who I was outside of my stats and believed that I had a real chance to get into a good program. Working with her has been a delight, from helping me develop my goals and understand what I wanted from an MBA program, reworking my resume to show the value that I could bring, reviewing essays countless times to ensure that I told my unique story in a clear way, and simulating interviews so that I could go into the room with confidence and poise. Kelsey was there for me every step of the way, always in my corner ready to help and support me no matter what. Even when I had my moments of doubt or lacked clarity, she was there to listen to me and provide the outside perspective that I really needed to hear.

She's a great partner to have through this journey because she'll give you all the support you need and more. What started as a near impossibility for me, she made a reality. The acceptances and scholarships that I received from UC Berkeley Haas, Cornell Johnson, UCLA Anderson, and UW Foster is nothing short of a miracle, and it was only through her that I was able to accomplish that. I'll always recommend Kelsey to anyone who's going through the application process.
