Words from a Triple Admit: Katy is a A+++ player & mentor you need

Words from a Triple Admit (HBS, GSB, Wharton): When I first met Katy in 2024, I was itching to apply to business school. Katy listened to my story, immediately identified a few weaknesses, and told me to wait another year before applying to ensure maximum success. Despite my impatience, I listened to her advice. It turned out to be the best decision ever.

Since our first consultation (even before I became a client), we exchanged multiple emails where I sought Katy's advice, and even had another check-in call before I officially onboarded. To Katy, time is the most precious thing. Yet she is super generous with her time, always advising her clients with their best interests at heart.

For context, I am an anxious, Type A girl with a finance background. There were other "weird parts" of my story too that made me wonder if I would be a suitable HBS/ GSB applicant. Katy drew out the essence of my story, turned my "differences" into what makes me "differentiated", and helped me craft a uniquely compelling story that won the hearts of HBS and GSB AdComms. Katy "saw" me and believed in me before anyone else did.

Managing a finance job, multiple leadership projects plus B school application was an intense journey. Katy will guide you every step of the way and handle things in a very systematic and calming manner. Her feedback is honest, timely and spot-on. There were a couple of defining moments:

(1) At the height of application season, I was about to lose perspective on what my "storyline" should be. What's worse, I had no clue what I wanted to do post MBA! I really struggled with any post-MBA related questions/ essay prompts. Katy "steered" me back to the right track, reassured me that "this is the right angle", and advised me on my post MBA path. I'm so glad I listened to her.

(2) My recommender was about to submit my letter late. The process was already stressful due to the politics within my firm. 2 hours before the deadline, I desperately needed advice. Not only did she help me prepare my "recommenders pack", she actually hopped on a call with my recommender to navigate a tricky situation. Katy goes above and beyond for her clients, picks up calls at random hours. She is the calm in the storm, and someone you can count on.

All to say, Katy is not a consultant. She is a mentor who is equally committed to and invested in your success. Her sage advice is shaped by her background as an HBS alum & GSB AdComm member, her years of experience sending candidates to top schools, her pure ingenuity, dedication and thoughtfulness. If she speaks to you, she probably saw some potential in you. What I embarked on was not simply a "B school application" journey. It was a journey of self introspection, where hard work & intentionality meet success. You therefore need a confidante who understands and can help craft your story. Katy is A+++ player. if you want to apply to the top schools and score 3/3, you want her on your team. This is why Katy wins.
