Product mbaMission School Package
Consultant Jessica Shklar
Strengths:
Caliber and thoughtfulness of the coach's, higher personalized experience, strong structure of accountability and organization, and useful digital program that gets very "in the weeds" on supplemental advice and exercises.
Would make the product better:
More affordably packages when applying to multiple schools (although I recognize this isn't necessarily fair feedback and I do believe the program is priced appropriately for its value).
Working with Jessica was one of the best investments I made during the MBA admissions process. Applying to programs like Sloan School of Management and HBS felt overwhelming at first, especially because my background in private banking and family office strategy is somewhat niche and difficult to explain in a compelling, differentiated way. Jessica helped me translate years of complex work into a clear and authentic story that actually reflected who I am.
What stood out most was her ability to push beyond generic MBA “branding” advice. She challenged me to articulate not only what I had accomplished, but why it mattered.
Jessica was also incredibly strong at balancing encouragement with honest feedback. She knew when an essay sounded overly polished, too corporate, or disconnected emotionally, and she pushed me to be more reflective and specific without losing my voice. I especially appreciated how collaborative the process felt.
I would strongly recommend Jessica to anyone applying to top MBA programs, especially candidates with unconventional stories or highly nuanced professional backgrounds. She has a rare ability to identify what makes someone genuinely distinctive and help them communicate it with clarity and confidence.
