Product Fortuna Admissions Comprehensive School Package
Consultant Rachel Erickson Hee
I was very unfamiliar with the MBA application process when I initially started working with Rachel. I hadn't taken a standardized test, written essays, or even updated my resume since undergrad - and it showed. Other consultants I spoke with were less confident in my chances of admission to the schools I was targeting. I was fairly adamant about going to HBS, and Rachel never wavered in her confidence that I could achieve it. She warned me, going in, that her process was much more rigorous and pushed applicants through far more revisions than typical consultants, but that level of detail and accountability was what I was looking for and often kept me honest about what I was really trying to show (not tell) in my essays. She also remembers so many details and helps you craft a narrative from literally anything. Things I tossed aside early on in my essay revisions or resume building, she remembered, and we were able to use later on. She worked directly with my recommenders to ensure their letters were polished and aligned with my application without telling me what they wrote. Beyond the tactical guidance, Rachel was so incredibly encouraging and would work with me at all hours, especially down to the wire. Thanks to her support, I was admitted to the two schools I applied to, HBS and Wharton, and I genuinely do not think I would be in this position without her guidance and support!

Consultant Rachel Erickson Hee
Working with Rachel was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. I was admitted to both Harvard and Stanford, which were the two schools we worked on together, but the bigger thing I got from working with her was clarity. She helped me understand what I actually wanted to do next and why it mattered to me.
Rachel was very straightforward in a way I really appreciated. She pushed me when something was vague, told me when an answer was not landing, and helped me get to a version of my story that felt much more honest and focused.
I also really appreciated how seriously she took my background and my future goals in development. I never felt like she was trying to force me into a standard MBA applicant mold. She helped me make sense of the throughline in my experiences and explain why development was not just an interest, but the direction I wanted to build my career around.
She was also extremely responsive and steady through the stressful parts of the process. When my planned test scores expired earlier than expected, she helped me quickly game plan instead of spiraling. That was true throughout working with her. She helped me focus on what mattered and not get stuck in my own head.
Interview prep with Rachel was also so helpful. She helped me see where I could be more specific, where I was rambling, and how to talk about my goals in a way that felt natural. I went into my interviews feeling prepared, but still like myself.
I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone applying. She made the whole process feel much less overwhelming, and I am really grateful I had her in my corner.

Consultant Heidi Hillis
Working with Heidi was one of the most defining parts of my MBA journey. She brings a rare combination of sharp judgment and genuine care, and she does not let you settle. Her “tough love” approach meant she consistently pushed me beyond what I thought was enough, holding me to a much higher bar until every piece of my application truly reflected my best thinking.
What stood out most was how tailored her guidance was. My background and goals are not conventional, and at times I saw them as risks. Heidi saw them as strengths. She helped me unpack my story, challenge my assumptions, and turn what felt uncertain into something clear, differentiated, and compelling.
Having her in my corner was incredibly grounding throughout what can be a very overwhelming process. I am now heading to Oxford Saïd this fall, and I can say with full confidence that I would not be here without her guidance. I feel very fortunate to have worked with her.

Consultant Michel Belden
I ended up working with Michel through the comprehensive package. Michel brought amazing organization and structure to every part of the admissions process, ensuring my essays and interview preparation were thorough and well-executed. At the start we worked through all the details that could be beneficial to my application from goals and career progression to my life story. Beyond the tactical application support, she was a genuinely encouraging presence during an inherently stressful time, helping me manage anxiety and stay focused when it mattered most. She was extremely responsive at all times, and very flexible with her calendar. I cannot recommend her enough, working with Michel was one of the best decisions I made throughout this process. I would go on to receive offers from Wharton, Kellogg, and Booth.

No notes! Heidi was prefect!
Heidi exceeded all expectations! From the start she was very good in helping me find the story I wanted to tell.

I felt supported every step of the way and she would always make time to help me no matter the hours. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to take their MBA applications to the next level. Especially for the top schools like Stanford, HBS and Wharton. Thank you Heidi for everything!!! You are awesome!!!!

Consultant Silpa Sarma
Working with Silpa has been an incredible experience, and I truly don’t think I would have gotten into my dream school without her guidance and mentorship. She has a unique ability to deeply understand your personality, your story, and your aspirations, and then help shape them in a way that highlights the most unique, compelling, and, most importantly, authentic aspects of who you are.
Silpa has an exceptional eye for detail and an amazing memory. She remembers even the smallest things you mention and is able to connect them in meaningful ways. In fact, she often reminded me of lived experiences and accomplishments that I had completely forgotten about, which ended up becoming valuable parts of my application story.
Beyond her expertise, Silpa is genuinely wonderful to work with. She makes what can be a stressful and overwhelming process feel exciting and manageable. She truly cares about her clients and is deeply invested in their success. I always felt supported, encouraged, and confident throughout the journey.
I cannot recommend Silpa highly enough to anyone looking for an MBA consultant who is insightful, strategic, and truly cares about helping you put your best foot forward.

Consultant Rebecca Fogg
I’m so grateful to Becca for her support throughout my MBA application journey. Coming into the process, I didn’t have a network of friends or colleagues who had gone through MBA applications before, and I was coming from a relatively non-traditional background - so it initially all felt quite overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
Becca helped me bring my story to life in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. Just as importantly, she gave me the structure and clarity I needed to map out my career vision and connect the dots across my experiences in a way that finally made sense.
She struck an incredible balance between being supportive and challenging - pushing me to think more deeply, refine my ideas, and communicate them with confidence. I always felt that she genuinely cared about my journey and outcome.
Thanks to her guidance, I ultimately received offers from several dream schools - which felt almost unfathomable when I started this process - including HBS. I’m incredibly grateful for her role in helping me get there.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating the MBA admissions process, particularly those coming from non-traditional backgrounds.

Strengths:
The comprehensive school package was truly a white glove service that gave me a clear roadmap for every part of the application.
Would make the product better:
Nothing, Heidi was incredible from start to finish.
Heidi was a game changer for my applications. I walked into this process unsure of what I wanted to pursue, what schools I was targeting, and questioned if I was “good enough” to apply to the top programs. Right away, Heidi eased my anxiety by breaking down the application process into manageable, bite-size components and creating a step-by-step strategy for how we would tackle every part of my application from start to finish. Additionally, Heidi’s level of professionalism and responsiveness to my messages was exceptional. What I valued most about working with Heidi was her introspective approach. She helped me gain real clarity on my career vision by starting with my core values, what genuinely drives me, and connecting that to the “why” behind my decisions (both professional and personal) and future goals. That foundation made my entire application feel both compelling and cohesive. It created a clear, consistent narrative thread that tied everything together, making it easy for admissions teams to understand not just what I’ve accomplished, but why I’m pursuing an MBA and where I want to go next.
I chose the 3 school package and Heidi was there for every step of the process from advising me on where to improve my GRE score to helping me identify the right recommenders and negotiating my scholarship offers. Not only did Heidi help me achieve acceptances to Columbia, MIT, Kellogg, and Booth (all with significant scholarships), but she helped me become more confident and empowered me to believe I can achieve something that seemed impossible.

Consultant Silpa Sarma
Strengths:
- very timely feedback
- always available to chat
- realistic but positive outlook on application
Would make the product better:
- support for scholarship essays
Silpa is a one of a kind consultant. I would not have expected a year ago that I would get into all the schools that I applied to, and that with scholarship packages. My acceptances are in large parts of the support that I received from Silpa. Her strong understanding of the AdCom and what they look for in candidates is clear. Every essay was thoroughly reviewed several times and resume was fine tuned until it truly communicated my experience in a method that would speak to business schools. She provided clear feedback on each application item and worked with me over meetings to revise them to ensure success. Most importantly, Silpa is a consulstant who truly cares for each of her clients. She sees the best in each applicant, encouraging them to think big, while also being realistic about how to improve their chances of acceptances. If you want to ensure a competitive application to business school, Silpa is the consultant you should be working with.

Consultant Emma Bond
I worked with Emma throughout my entire MBA application process, and I must say it was a true blessing that our paths crossed.
Emma was an essential part of my application journey. She was always honest about my chances with each school, giving me the freedom to decide whether to proceed with an application or not. Since I was unfamiliar with the process, I followed Emma’s advice—and the outcome was exceptional. Almost every school I applied to accepted me.
Emma contributed immensely throughout the journey. She provided invaluable support in preparing my application, taking the time to truly understand who I am, my background, and my aspirations. You can genuinely feel that Emma goes the extra mile to find that special something that helps admissions committees see why you are a perfect fit for their MBA program.
Beyond grades, test scores, and background, Emma was instrumental in helping me structure my story—my background and my goals for pursuing an MBA.
Emma was also there during moments of doubt or when I felt less optimistic about my chances. As the application process moved forward, I realized that everything Emma said and advised was coming true, which gave me confidence.
I cannot thank Emma enough for helping me achieve this long-term goal of earning an MBA. She not only assisted in structuring my goals and background but also helped me gain confidence that extends far beyond the MBA application process.
