I recommend Sharon 1000000000000% !!!!

Strengths:

The hourly consulting format worked really well for me because of the flexibility it offered. I was able to focus on exactly what I needed at each stage of the process, which made every session feel efficient and high impact. Even in a limited amount of time, I still benefited from Fortuna’s deep admissions expertise and insider perspective, which was incredibly valuable.

Would make the product better:

One area for improvement would be providing a bit more upfront guidance on how to best allocate hours across different parts of the application, especially for applicants going through the process for the first time.

I worked with Sharon Joyce through Fortuna Admissions and I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!!! She is as good as they come!!!

From the very beginning, Sharon took a really personal approach. She spent time getting to know me, my background, and what I actually wanted out of an MBA, which made a huge difference when it came to shaping my story. Nothing ever felt generic and every part of my application felt like it genuinely reflected me. She was extremely thoughtful.

She was also responsive and candid throughout the entire process. I always appreciated how direct she was with feedback, whether it was on essays, positioning, or overall strategy. It made the process feel a lot less overwhelming knowing I could trust her to be honest and thoughtful in her guidance.

Another huge plus was how supportive she was while I was studying for the GRE. She recommended great tutors and was consistently encouraging during that part of the process, which honestly made a big difference in staying motivated.

With Sharon’s guidance, I was accepted to Berkeley Haas and I really do not think I could have gotten there without her. She helped me not only strengthen my application but also feel confident in how I was presenting myself.

Overall, I am incredibly grateful to have worked with her and would highly recommend her to anyone going through the MBA admissions process.
