I did five GMAT attempts and never hit the score I was aiming for, so when I started working with Jen I had pretty much written off my chances at Oxford, Cambridge, and LBS.
Jen made it clear from the start that the GMAT is only one part of the application and she pushed me to reflect on who I am and what my strengths are. The early calls were spent figuring that out: my background, my strengths, what I genuinely connected with at each school. She was good at pulling that out of me even when I could not articulate it myself.
From there we worked through the essays and resume together, iterating a lot and ensuring that each of the applications was tailored to each school.
We had an interview prep call before each one with a full mock and a rundown of what to expect. The aim was to make sure I was representing myself in each interview and staying natural.
Ultimately, I got into all three schools with a scholarship at one, and I would never have done it without Jen's help and dedication to her clients. I can't recommend Jen enough, especially if you're targeting UK schools.
