Jen made the MBA application experience seamless

Strengths:

Jen is knowledgeable from years of experience in the world of MBA applications. She leveraged her network of other consultants and admissions officers to provide a clear picture of how the process would unfold. Furthermore, she really helped me approach the introspective element of the application and craft my story.

Would make the product better:

At times, Jen could have been a bit more direct/candid with her responses/color on schools. That being said, I do think she always provided valuable and actionable advice, especially when I came prepared with other information that I had heard from other people/resources.

Jen was incredibly generous with her time and feedback throughout the process. I didn't appreciate how nuanced the MBA application was until I started. While I do believe that you do not need a consultant to submit a successful MBA application, there were several instances where the direction of my essays and overall story drastically changed due to Jen's feedback (and I was ultimately accepted to my top choice, so I do think she provided tangible value here!). Jen was incredibly prompt with her responses and reliable. Whenever she did not know the answer, she always referred me to the right resources and followed up after researching further on her end. The MBA application is a challenging experience in terms of time, opportunity cost, and external pressures, and having Jen as both an advisor and a second set of eyes was reassuring. In addition, I recognize that it is not always easy to provide direct responses in a process as nuanced as the MBA application!
