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!

Jen Made My MBA Dreams a Reality

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

When I started the MBA application process, I had no idea how complex and time-consuming it would be. As a non-traditional applicant, I knew I needed to tie my story together and clearly articulate my post-MBA career goals. After doing extensive research on whether hiring a consultant was worth the investment and speaking with several top-rated consultants from Poets & Quants, I was initially hesitant. Consultants are expensive, and I wasn’t sure I’d get a strong return on investment. But from the moment I met Jen, all my doubts disappeared—I knew she was the right person to guide me through this journey.

I lacked confidence in my credentials, but Jen reaffirmed that I was a strong candidate. She helped me identify and highlight the unique elements of my story that made me stand out. Her guidance was invaluable, and she was always available to answer my (many) questions. Unlike some of my friends’ experiences with other consultants, who were unresponsive or slow to provide feedback, Jen was incredibly responsive and consistently delivered thoughtful feedback on my essays and application materials well before deadlines.

Jen’s support extended beyond essay editing. When I didn’t achieve my target GMAT score on my first attempt, she encouraged me to persevere and consider switching to the GRE. That encouragement was pivotal—I don’t think I could have overcome those challenges without her unwavering support.

What sets Jen apart is her human touch. She didn’t just see me as another applicant but as a unique individual, and she truly cared about my success and future. Her expertise in narrowing down my school list, refining my story, and navigating the application process was unparalleled.

The results speak for themselves. I applied to three schools (Haas, Ross, and Darden) and was admitted to all three, with scholarships ranging from $70,000 to $120,000. Jen was worth every penny, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re considering an MBA admissions consultant, you’ll be in the best hands with Jen!

Jen is the Best!!! Thank you Jen!!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

With Jen’s strong support and guidance, I was accepted into my dream business school programs (Wharton, Anderson)!! I knew very little coming into the MBA application process and Jen was especially impactful in determining my target business schools, strategizing on my applications, crafting my personal statements, selecting my recommenders, and closely reviewing my applications in a short timeline - she really did it all and was a joy to work with! Jen was great to brainstorm with, came highly prepared, and provided strong feedback and insights in all our meetings which helped me write personal statements that I felt truly reflected my personality, background, and career ambitions. Prior to working with Jen, I found the application process incredibly daunting (especially since I was taking the GMAT and working at the same time) and she was able to help coach me through the process and keep me on track so I was always focused on the most important areas. In addition to her strong expertise, Jen’s positivity and supportiveness really made the difference - from taking multiple calls prior to my TBD interview for Wharton to taking early morning calls right before the application deadline, Jen truly went the extra mile to help me accomplish my goal. I highly recommend Jen and am very fortunate to have worked with her. Thank you Jen!!!

Highly Recommend Jen for European Programs!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

My dream was to attend a full-time MBA program abroad, but I knew it would be a steep uphill climb. With no international living experience and what most would consider ‘average’ test scores and GPA, I realized that effectively crafting and communicating my story and motivations would be critical to strengthening my profile.
Thankfully, I reached out to MBAmission and was referred to Jen, an expert in European MBA program admissions. The main areas I worked on with Jen were developing my essays and resume, navigating the application process, and preparing for interviews.
Jen is a thoughtful and thorough consultant who positioned me for success. She is an extremely talented essay editor who understands exactly what admissions committees seek in personal statements. Jen provided school-specific insights that I wouldn't have discovered on my own and advised me on how to effectively weave them into my essays.
Additionally, she was instrumental in interview preparation, helping me frame my stories and prioritize what each school values, all while delivering candid feedback in an uplifting manner. She tailored this preparation to whether I was interviewing with an alumn or an admissions advisor, and I can honestly say that our mock interviews were incredibly reflective of the real experience.

I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Without her assistance with the essays and interview prep, I am certain I would not have been accepted to INSEAD, the school I will be attending. Jen was very supportive and responsive throughout the entire process, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into their stretch program!

Thank you, Jen! LBS, OXFORD, CAMBRIDGE!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I started working with Jen on mock interviews after being invited to interview for LBS, Oxford and Cambridge. Her knowledge and experience with European MBAs were beyond helpful and put me at ease when I was so nervous! Everything we discussed during our mock interviews happened during my actual interviews, so it was a huge relief to be prepared. Jen is also the sweetest person, and she'll give you the best feedback based on your personality and profile, so it really helped me bring the stories from my application to life during the interviews. I'm happy to say I got into all three schools! Thank you, Jen!

Jen is the Best!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

When I began working with Jen, I knew very little about the MBA application process. Jen was patient and thorough, and I felt comfortable going to her with any questions I had. She helped to keep me organized and on schedule to submit 7 R1 applications. Jen made herself available to me whether it was answering a quick email or scheduling a last minute call. While she reviewed my resume and every application and essay, she provided feedback and comments that helped keep my submission individualized. Ultimately, I was accepted to multiple reach schools and offered generous scholarships to many programs. I would highly recommend Jen as your MBA admissions consultant!

Excellent consultant, highly recommend

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I loved working with Jen! When I began the MBA admissions process, I knew next to nothing about it. Jen did an excellent job guiding me through the process, and throughout my time working with her, she was kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented. She did a great job helping me to identify my strengths and weaknesses, and to present my story in the clearest way possible. Also, she was always available to answer any questions I had about any aspect of the process. My applications wouldn't have been nearly as strong without her help--thanks to her, I was accepted to one of my target schools. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering applying to MBA programs.

Highly Recommend Working With Jen!!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I worked with Jen on five round-one MBA applications (HBS, Stanford GSB, Booth, Kellogg, and Sloan), and was accepted to every program with significant scholarships at Booth and Kellogg! Before starting my apps, I spoke to a few admissions consultants, and Jen immediately stood out to me as the best. Jen worked with me on an hourly basis and helped me with my essays for all schools. She gave me practical, helpful advice, and really helped me take my essays to the next level. Jen also did a mock HBS interview with me, and this experience was very helpful to prepare for the “real thing”. She asked me thoughtful questions and gave me actionable feedback. Jen was there with me every step of the way, and I believe working with her added significant value to my applications. I highly recommend working with Jen – she is worth every penny!

Jen helped me to get into my dream schools!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I've been working with Jen for the past few months and my experience with her was amazing. Firstly, my situation was very nuanced (I was considering forgoing a part-time US program and applying for a European full-time program). Second, I did not have too much time applying when I started working with her and wanted to apply for the R1 deadline. Jen took time to get to know me and did not get scared away with my special circumstance. Instead, she called out several areas that I had never thought about before that I thought were super helpful for my application. Once I started working with her, a few things stand out as well. First, she is very knowledgeable about the whole process and especially on European programs. Her expertise and knowledge make my application more efficient. Second, she is real friendly, patient, and effective. For each of my draft she spent thorough time to review and comments. Her feedback was honest, but also help me unlock ideas and stories for future drafts. She always deliver on time, and even went above and beyond. I treated her as a thought parter and coach, and really appreciate her advice. Eventually, I've received offer from both Cambridge and Oxford. Without her, I think getting my dreams programs will be much harder. Thank you Jen!! :)

1000% recommend Jen!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I met Jen through the free initial consulting session and right off the bat, she was extremely organized and set out a plan for me to follow. She was extremely intelligent and understanding of my previous professional career. I had my doubts about potential weaknesses in my resume and professional story, but Jen was extremely supportive and assured me that I had the necessary qualities to be a strong candidate for my top MBA schools. She was prompt and supportive and also the nicest person to work with. I had an absolute blast working with her. I would not have been able to get into my dream schools without her help! I would highly recommend working with Jen! You will not be disappointed!
