Rachel was an exceptional support from the very beginning all the way through the end of my MBA application process. From day one, she put a huge amount of effort into really getting to know me and my story in depth, and this created a strong connection between us, which meant we understood each other immediately and were able to work very effectively right from the start.

Rachel is an outstanding professional who supports you at every stage of the process, making sure that every single detail is consistent with your story and as impactful as possible. She has an incredible ability to take your ideas for essays and shape them into something clear, compelling, and highly polished. But what truly sets her apart—and what made the biggest difference for me—is her genuine ability to understand who you are and bring out the elements that make you unique in every essay and every piece of your application. She knows how to highlight your strengths and build a coherent, authentic narrative around them.

Beyond being an amazing consultant, Rachel is also a constant source of support and motivation. She pushes you to do your best at all times and helps you bring out the best version of yourself. As she likes to say, she’s the “strict but motivational mom everyone should have”—and that couldn’t be more accurate.

Working with Rachel helped me grow not only as a professional, but also as a person. I can say with complete confidence that without her, I would have never built such a strong application or been admitted to my dream school (one of the M7). She was truly essential to my journey, and I highly recommend her to anyone considering applying to an MBA program.

When I first began my MBA journey, I knew it was a path I wanted to pursue, but I felt overwhelmed and unsure where to start. Working with Rachel changed that completely. She provided thoughtful guidance across every stage of the process. Initially, many of the schools she encouraged me to apply to felt like reaches since I came from what I believed was a fairly common and unremarkable background. However, with her guidance, I was able to reframe my experiences into a cohesive and differentiated story that reflected my strengths. From essay development to waitlist strategy and even scholarship negotiation, Rachel consistently went above and beyond, always prioritizing my best interests. She was always extremely supportive and responsive during a time that can be very stressful. Thanks to her help, I was admitted to most of the programs I applied to and will be attending my original dream top-choice school.

Rachel really went above and beyond. She offered vital support from start to finish and made incredibly crucial recommendations at every step, with a perfect combination of firm guidance and warmth. She created the ideal space for me to express my thoughts freely and comfortably, while constantly challenging and motivating me to bring our my best.
Rachel is an incredible storyteller who really knows how to help you structure your thoughts, pick your best ideas, and shape them into catchy stories. She had the patience to go through edits over and over again until I had the perfect stories, stories I was really proud to submit. She let my personality shine through and embraced my particularities.
It was amazing to see how naturally she shared my enthusiasm for my application and how fully committed she was to helping me get in. At no point did our interaction feel transactional and at no point did I feel alone in the application process. She answered quickly every single time and always with thoughtful and detailed responses. Every conversation with her felt energizing.
When I got accepted into my dream-school (one of the M7), I immediately contacted her to say “we did it!” because I know I couldn’t have done this without her mentorship. She made a challenging lonely process feel genuinely enjoyable and interactive. I have so much respect for her!

Many have reviewed Rachel, highlighting her ability to provide structure, help declutter/organize thoughts, and curate compelling storylines. In my experience, this was entirely true.

The magic, however, lies in her capacity to create a strong working relationship.

This speaks to Rachel's emotional intelligence and exceptional character, qualities beyond the generic frameworks and school-specific knowledge that most MBA admissions consultants offer.

You might be an exceptionally strong applicant with stellar stats and an impressive career profile, but ultimately, you’re only as good as your application. I truly don’t think I would have been able to craft compelling essays on my own without Rachel. Her greatest strength lies in the genuine effort she puts into getting to know you—your values, your story, and your unique strengths. Because of this, she knows exactly which stories from your life will shine through in your application.

Rachel brings years of insight into what each school looks for in its candidates. That depth of experience is invaluable—not only in helping you select the right schools, but in shaping your profile to stand out in the eyes of the Admissions.

I formed an instant connection with Rachel from our very first call. She was warm, supportive, energetic, and truly invested in working with me. Applicants often try to gauge their chances by distinguishing themselves as coming from traditional or non-traditional backgrounds, but I believe what truly matters is how much you believe in yourself—and how effectively you can prove to the Ad Com that you deserve a spot in their school. Rachel not only believed in me from the start but also inspired me to grow in confidence throughout our journey together.

She has incredible strategies for making the most of every section of the application—highlighting different dimensions of your personality and experience in thoughtful and distinctive ways.

With her guidance and unwavering support, I received admits from two M7 schools. I 1000% recommend working with Rachel for your MBA applications. Good luck!

Choosing Rachel as my MBA application coach was one of the best decisions I made during this process. I purchased her hourly services and couldn’t be more grateful for the experience.

During my coach selection process, I was particularly focused on finding someone who would resonate with the work I currently do. As an older applicant with a non-traditional background, it was important to me that my coach respect my journey, be tactful yet honest, and intellectually engaged. When I spoke with Rachel, I immediately knew she was exactly who I was looking for.

Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable, calm, supportive, responsive, and insightful. She communicates concisely and effectively, offering only the most relevant and useful information. She started by providing a well-structured brainstorming document, which allowed her to get to know me in depth. She always came to our calls thoroughly prepared, and it was clear she knew my story and strengths by heart.

Rachel also has a deep understanding of the MBA admissions “game”—her strategic insights and mastery of language helped me craft essays that truly stood out (even the optional essay where I only included two bullet points!) She works incredibly fast, sometimes returning thoughtful edits within a day—even during the holiday season.

Out of the three schools I applied to, I was admitted to two—including one with a full-ride scholarship—and I ultimately committed to my dream school, NYU Stern! I can’t thank Rachel enough. She is both caring and very smart, and I felt refreshed and energized after every conversation with her. She’s more than just a coach—she’s a mentor, a thoughtful partner, and a wellspring of wisdom. I highly recommend her!
