I worked with Jen from MBA Mission on a three-school package very last minute for Round 2 deadlines, and she was exceptional from start to finish. She is incredibly responsive, highly organised, and consistently ahead of schedule.

Her attention to detail and, more importantly, her ability to craft a clear and compelling personal narrative is outstanding. She doesn’t just refine essays, she transforms them.

I was admitted to Oxford, Cambridge, and IESE, all with scholarships, which I genuinely believe would not have happened without her support.

MBA Mission’s platform and resources are also second to none, which made the whole process far more structured and manageable under tight timelines.

If you are considering working with Jen, I would strongly recommend her. There is a clear return on investment, whether that is gaining admission to schools that may have felt out of reach or securing meaningful scholarship funding.

A pleasure to work with and someone I cannot recommend highly enough.

I had the immense pleasure and privilege of working with Jen throughout my admission journey to the Cambridge MBA, and I could not be more grateful, satisfied, and happy with the support I received.
Coming from a non-traditional background in the arts and opera world, Jen incredibly helped me position my profile in the right way by helping me reshape my story in an authentic and compelling manner, emphasizing the most important and distinctive elements and highlighting what truly differentiated me.
Jen’s deep knowledge of the entire application process was fundamental at every stage. She provided decisive support in the development and revision of my essays and CV, ensuring that every word was intentional, impactful, and aligned with my overall narrative. Her feedback and revisions were always brilliant, precise, forward-thinking, elegant, and extremely helpful.
The interview simulations I did with her were also of fundamental importance. All the brainstorming sessions we had, with her guidance, led me to a much greater clarity and precision about my future goals, which made me even happier and more fulfilled beyond the admission itself.
Jen was available and patient at all times. She worked with me tirelessly and always with kindness and empathy, even in the most complex and demanding moments. She worked with passion, dedication, and rare professionalism, guiding me through every stage, constantly encouraging me and treating me with great sensitivity.
The support I received from MBAmission, and from Jen in particular, far exceeded my expectations. She was a solid, reliable, and invaluable presence from start to finish, at every moment. I recommend MBAmission without any hesitation. As far as I am concerned, Jen was simply extraordinary.

Genuine, Encouraging, Amazing!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I reached out to Jen after being referred to her from a previous client. During the free 30-minute consultation she was warm and eager to help me in any way she could. I told her upfront that I'd already looked at the pricing for a school package and likely couldn't afford it and she was completely unbothered. In fact, we went well over the 30-minute mark because she wanted to be sure we covered all the questions I had for her about the MBA application process, from narrowing down schools to how to engage with them to how to prioritize my time. She even encouraged me to send her emails with questions and she’d be happy to share thoughts, even if I didn’t purchase consulting services. Her generosity and the value of that session was enough to convince me that purchasing a school package was a worthwhile investment.

During the brainstorming process I was shocked at how quickly Jen was able to uncover themes across my life that I'd never noticed myself, which became key to my essays. Her coaching on articulating school fit and guidance on how to tie the school specifically into my career goals gave me confidence when it came time for interviews. After being accepted into multiple programs, I appreciated her perspective on navigating the decision. Every step of the way Jen gives you her honest thoughts and gives you the space to be your authentic self throughout the application process.

Jen's honesty, encouragement, and her ability to get to the core of who you are and what aspects of your story are unique and compelling makes her an incredible partner to work with. With her guidance and encouragement, I was able to have success in Round 1 I hadn't even dreamed of, where I was accepted to Harvard, Booth, and Kellogg, and Booth even offered scholarship that would cover about 75% of my tuition! I am so grateful to have worked with her!

Kind, Clarifying, Strategic!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Working with Jen was THE most impactful decisions I made during my MBA application journey. I came in feeling genuinely unsure about my chances and struggling to clearly articulate my story. I was fortunate to be admitted to my dream school (HBS) and to receive $200k+ in merit scholarships at Columbia, Yale, and two other programs—and I genuinely don’t think those outcomes would have been possible without her support. I left the process not just accepted into my top choice schools, but feeling more confident and ready to jump into my MBA.

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough to anyone who wants both honest rigor, a truly fun and genuinely kind person, who will be deeply personally invested in their journey. She'll challenge you in a gentle yet exciting way, all while helping you get the best version of yourself in front of the admissions committees.

Couldn't have done this without Jen!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I reached out to mbaMission quite late in the process, post Round 1 deadlines for US MBA schools. At the time, I had short-listed my MBA schools, and knew my first choice was INSEAD vs Tuck vs LBS. From the first conversation with Jen, I could tell she was very genuine and supportive. I was also very impressed with her positive vibes and extensive knowledge in MBA admissions. I was extremely worried because I was an older candidate and had not secured a decent GMAT score at the time. She patiently analysed my strengths and weaknesses and saw something special about me that I had never noticed, which resulted in placing me in an excellent position for application. Throughout my GMAT and essay writing journey, Jen supported me flexibly due to my 'forever changing decisions' and provided strategic advice in school applications and test taking, hoping to help me land in a great MBA program.
Jen was very efficient and always delivered within the advised timeframe, sometimes even earlier, which makes me less worried about additional tasks during the journey. Now I am about to start my MBA with INSEAD in a few months' time, and I kit weren't for Jen, I would be doubtful of getting an offer with a scholarship.
I highly recommend Jen to those who may be confused during their MBA admission journey, as she is always there for you and will help you navigate your way! Even for those who might already 'have' a solid plan, Jen will always offer a different and insightful perspective, guiding you to places you never considered and recognizing your uniqueness.
Lastly, thank you so much, Jen. I am at a loss for words about how much I appreciate your advice and support. I definitely would not be going to INSEAD without you. Take care!

Above & Beyond - Jen is the best!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

When I started the MBA application process, I was uncertain about my competitiveness as a candidate coming from a less traditional background. Jen not only helped me build my confidence around my candidacy but also played a huge role in shaping my story in a way that would resonate with admissions. She was amazing to work with -- attentive, thoughtful, and patient. She guided me through tough decisions about the programs I wanted to apply to, and I couldn't be happier with where I ended up! With her partnership, I was accepted into both programs I applied to and will be attending my dream school this fall. I couldn't be more grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help as they navigate their MBA journey.

Thank You For Really Seeing Me Jen

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I decided to pursue my MBA this year after realizing it was undeniably necessary in order for me to achieve my career goals that began to feel further and further out of reach. I was still in my program exploration phase when I met Jen and new to the process, I was grateful to have met Jen via mbaMission when I did. As a woman of color, it was important to me to find a coach I believed I could connect with. A coach that didn’t make me feel like a burden or just another number and who took the time to see and understand me as an individual. From our first conversation it was undeniable that Jen was the absolute best fit for me. I am naturally an excited and driven person, imagine the joy I felt when my excitement and enthusiasm was met by Jen’s?! She is a phenomenal coach with a wealth of knowledge concerning the MBA process and programs. She is extremely skilled and helped me lock in on my story, painting a picture of who I am on paper for the reader. With her expertise coaching, I applied to my dream program with confidence and was extremely grateful to have been admitted to UVA Darden, starting August 2025.

I got into my dream school and I truly can’t thank Jen enough!

I met Jen for the first time through a "ding review" a couple of years ago, when I had applied and didn't get in, and I was feeling pretty dejected. But Jen’s thoughtful feedback helped me understand the weaknesses in my application while giving me confidence that I had a strong foundation to build on. From that moment, her guidance was instrumental in every step of my journey.

One of the most impactful parts of working with Jen was our brainstorming calls. She helped me reflect deeply—on my childhood, how I grew up, the choices I made, and the values that matter most to me. These conversations gave me a rock-solid foundation for all my application and ensured that my story was deeply personal and compelling.

Her feedback on my essay was especially invaluable. Given how unique this school's essay prompt is, I had been thinking about it for months before I even started writing. It required intense self-reflection to articulate what truly matters most to me and why. Jen kept pushing me—gently but persistently—until my voice came through clearly and authentically. That process made all the difference.

When it came time for interviews, Jen’s mock interview sessions were a game-changer. She covered a wide range of questions, challenged me to think on my feet, and helped me get a feel for how the real interview would go. She pointed out key areas to prepare for but also ensured I didn’t over-prepare. You want to be authentic and conversational in the interview. Thanks to her, I walked into my interview with confidence and clarity.

Jen’s ability to guide while ensuring I stayed true to myself was remarkable. What sets Jen apart is her ability to nudge you in the right direction without ever making the process feel forced or unnatural. She helped me tell my story in a way that felt genuine, compelling, and true to who I am. Her feedback was always precise, insightful, and—above all—and I could feel how much she truly cared. It was clear that she was just as invested in my success as I was. If you’re looking for an MBA consultant who will help you craft the best possible application without losing your authenticity, I can’t recommend Jen highly enough.

Jen helped me get into my first choice school!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Jen helped me get an offer from my first choice school! It was very late in the year when I attended the school's open day, which cemented my desire to apply for an MBA. At the event I met a student ambassador, who suggested I reach out to Jen - The second deadline was only a month away and Jen helped me get a winning application together in an incredibly short amount of time! I had been back-packing for the last 2 years with a significant gap in my CV, which added some risk to my application, but Jen was great at helping me formulate a strong narrative throughout the brainstorming process and calls. The support with essays, short questions and interview prep was invaluable. My GMAT score was below the average for the intake and I was rejected from my 4th choice school, an application I did on my own, which really illustrates the value Jen brings to the table. I highly recommend Jen to anyone applying for an MBA.

Jen made the MBA application experience seamless

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Jen was incredibly generous with her time and feedback throughout the process. I didn't appreciate how nuanced the MBA application was until I started. While I do believe that you do not need a consultant to submit a successful MBA application, there were several instances where the direction of my essays and overall story drastically changed due to Jen's feedback (and I was ultimately accepted to my top choice, so I do think she provided tangible value here!). Jen was incredibly prompt with her responses and reliable. Whenever she did not know the answer, she always referred me to the right resources and followed up after researching further on her end. The MBA application is a challenging experience in terms of time, opportunity cost, and external pressures, and having Jen as both an advisor and a second set of eyes was reassuring. In addition, I recognize that it is not always easy to provide direct responses in a process as nuanced as the MBA application!
