the BEST experience with Stratus & Joe Farr

Strengths:

timely feedback, encouraging me to dig deep on my why and not change my story, above and beyond with help on essays

Would make the product better:

cost is cheaper compared to other services but still a steep price tag

I could not recommend Joe Farr from Stratus enough!! He was exceptional to work with. I come from a non-traditional background and a very niche industry where people don't usually get MBAs. I was afraid ad com wouldn't understand the work/impact from my career. I met with several admission consulting firms. Some of them were not encouraging of my story and wanted me to change it for the essays. Others were fine, but when I spoke with Joe I felt that he understood exactly how to strengthen my story and present it authentically. He helped me be purposeful in my school search. We did a lot of introspection work that made writing my essays much easier. He would take the time to provide detailed feedback for my essays and got that back to me very quickly. When interviews came around he was helpful in providing tips and strategies for answering specific questions. Now while I am deciding exactly which offer to accept he has helped with scholarship negotiation and identifying which offers will help me the most in my career moving forward. 10/10 recommend going with Joe.
