Jessica is the Superwoman we all need

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

It was extremely late (20th of October 2021) when I decided to apply for the MBA program for 2022 August intake. I had to apply for the R2 (January deadlines) and I did not have Gmat or Toefl taken or any MBA applications even started.

I knew I needed a great consultant to make it work and I got advice from the friend to approach Jessica. I had my first free consultation call with Jessica on the 24th of November 2021 and immediately after that I knew I wanted to work with her, because I saw creativity and solid strategy in her thinking, and during the call and with the follow-up email that she sent, she was straight to the point, very efficient.

My stats were:
- Gmat score: 680 (took the second exam on 23 December 2021)
- EA score: 160 (took it on 26 December 2021)
- Toefl score: 112
- Work experience: 6 years
- Undergrad GPA: 3.79
- Pre-MBA Industry: PE
- Country: International (Georgia the country)

I could not afford to take any more Gmat exams because the R2 deadlines were already approaching, so I had to base my chances on the superb application and EA score, taking of which was Jessica's idea (thank god she came up with it!). I worked on 2 schools with Jessica, I applied to 7 schools in total, out of which I got accepted to 5: Wharton, Columbia Business School (with US$30,000 need-based scholarship), MIT Sloan (with US$25,000 Dean's fellowship), London Business School and NYU. Overall, we managed to curve the application in a month's time, which was an extremely short period. Throughout the process Jessica was:
- Super fast but at the same time very thorough; I was getting answers from her faster than expected, she was considering the fact that I was on tighter deadlines; during the final days, she was answering on the same day, on multiple topics (I was rushing due to my late GMAT exam)
- She strategized with me not only on essays and the resume but on the application as a whole; she identified potential loopholes and provided solutions to them; she edited the specific texts of my application (not only the essays) based on the best parts of my brainstorming materials, which she memorized really well
- She sense-checked her ideas with her colleagues, in order to find out multiple perspectives and make sure that we were not missing anything
- She gave me emotional support, which was very important because waiting for the results and making the final decision is pretty stressful

In other words, Jessica made the impossible possible. I really couldn't have done this without her. On top of that, Jessica is a very nice and fun person to work with, I really enjoyed working with her and would 100% recommend her to anyone!
