Admissions Consultant Review

Strengths:

Working with Jen as my admissions consultant was one of the best decisions I made during my application process. Among her many professional strengths, three stood out in particular:

1. Attention to detail: Jen had a sharp eye for both big-picture improvements and subtle refinements. She'd often bring up school-specific pointers or anecdotes which I'd told her about during the essay brainstorming phase which could further elevate a very good essay or interview answer to an excellent one.

2. Approachability: Jen was quick to turn around essay drafts and respond to questions, and she encouraged brainstorming ideas over calls. Her feedback was constructive without being overwhelming, and her positive and encouraging nature made it very easy for me to build a strong rapport with her.

3. Global school-specific knowledge: This was one of the biggest pros of working with Jen. Her school-specific insights about programs in the US and Europe were extremely impressive. She really helped me showcase my fit with schools in different parts of the world while staying authentic to my story.

Would make the product better:

While I had a very positive experience overall, the upfront cost of the school package can feel high, especially at the beginning of the process. However, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you are someone who is not very comfortable with writing essays or if you want someone to help you stay on track with deadlines.

Jen played a key role in helping me land 4 acceptances (LBS, INSEAD, Kellogg with scholarship, and Cambridge Judge). She was instrumental in helping me translate my quantifiable achievements into compelling essays and clearly articulate my professional impact during interviews. She's organized, approachable, and knows how to bring out the best in an applicant based on their story.

Her positive demeanor made it very easy for me to collaborate with her, and her vast experience working with applicants across both U.S. and international programs adds valuable global perspective, enabling her to guide candidates effectively across different cultures.

I'd strongly recommend working with Jen as your admissions consultant.
