My experience with Kelly was exceptional. As an international applicant with a non-traditional background — a psychologist with less than two years of full-time, post-undergraduate work experience — I was initially intimidated by the MBA application process. Kelly’s expertise and unwavering support were invaluable in helping me navigate every step of the journey.
She carefully reviewed my resume, transcripts, and personal narrative, even reaching out to admissions committee members to assess whether my target programs were realistically within reach. With full transparency, she also explained which schools might be too much of a stretch given my professional experience and quantitative background.
Once we finalized my target list, Kelly went above and beyond to help me craft an authentic, compelling story that reflected my true self and demonstrated my cultural fit with each program. She even sought additional feedback from her colleagues to ensure my applications were as strong as possible.
Thanks to her guidance, I was admitted to my dream school — a top 10 MBA program. I couldn’t have done it without her. More than a consultant, Kelly is a true partner who genuinely roots for your success.
Thank you so much, Kelly!

I had an amazing experience with Accepted! Applying to schools is never fun, but working with Kelly made this stressful process much easier. From guiding me through the process of telling my story to navigating confusing application portals, Kelly served as more of a mentor than just an essay consultant. She was in constant communication throughout the application process, and she even checked in after I had submitted my applications. Kelly tailored her advice to my interests, and we worked together to make sure that my application fully represented me and my career interests. Although my full-time job made it difficult for me to meet often, Kelly was very accommodating. Her feedback was clear and engaging, and there was no point in the process where I felt directionless. Without Kelly, I would not have had such a streamlined and successful application process. I highly recommend working with Kelly if you are applying to MBA programs!

There are consultants, and then there's Kelly - someone who redefines what true mentorship looks like.

When I began my MBA application journey, I was overwhelmed, unsure, scattered, and honestly, not confident that I could even pull off one admit. But then came Kelly - with her rare combination of calmness, strategic insights, relentless precision, and deeply human insight.

What sets her apart is her approach. She didn’t just ask me about goals or resume lines - she asked the kind of questions that forced me to pause, reflect, and rediscover who I am. The document she asked me to create early on based on soul searching prompts became my north star. It not only helped her understand me but more importantly, it helped me understand myself. That process alone changed how I approached every essay, every interview, and honestly to an extent how I approach life now.

And if you think this is a transactional relationship, you're in for a surprise. The contract may have promised one or two mock interviews but Kelly gave me her time, attention, and presence far beyond anything I expected. For every school I applied to, she stood by me calm, sharp, and encouraging - running multiple mock interviews, fine-tuning my delivery, and boosting my confidence when I needed it most.

She didn’t let anything slide. Every draft was challenged, every sentence refined, every idea sharpened. And not because she’s tough - but because she cares deeply. She believed in my potential, even when I doubted it myself.

I owe every admit I received to her. Truly.

If you're lucky enough to work with Kelly, know this:
She will push you. She will question you. She will make you uncomfortable.
And in the process, she will bring out a version of you that you didn’t know existed.

Kelly, thank you for everything. For being my guide, my sounding board, and the quiet force behind one of the most transformative journeys of my life.

This wasn’t just admissions consulting.
This was mentorship.
This was alignment.
This was magic.

I just can’t get over how great of a partner Kelly was to have by my side through this process. She has an uncanny ability to really feel like your partner through the process, not just a consultant. She has an incredible style to be able to push you to dig deeper and share your story in a way that resonates with the admission committee. Having recently been on that side of the fence, she has an incredible perspective on it. I would not have been able to get into my number 1 choice of the M7 schools (with a scholarship!) without her help and support! I couldn’t be happier with my experience with her, and I’m confident you’ll have the same feeling at the end of your journey.

Kelly was an incredible person to work with, and I could not have gotten into my dream M7 school without her help.

Kelly is amazingly dedicated and passionate about helping her students. She truly goes above and beyond – helping students at all hours of the day. What really sets her apart, though, is how she continuously motivates you to achieve your full potential. Also, since Kelly was an admissions director/dean until relatively recently, her insights into what admissions committees look for are all “fresh”/up-to-date.

I am also very grateful for how proactive, organized, and responsive Kelly was throughout even the busiest stretches of the admissions cycle. She would continuously check-in with me and make sure I had all the support I needed to submit a strong application. I highly, highly recommend working with Kelly! My only regret is that I didn’t start working with her earlier in the applications cycle!
