Consultant Harold Simansky
I had consulted Harold for my mock interview prep for an M7 school and application approach. Throughout the process, he was always available for my questions, direct with his feedback and quick & thorough with his input. This was critical for me as I was juggling with multiple timelines. His vast experience makes him a great consultant during the MBA admissions process. I appreciated his availability and guidance both during our mock interview prep and offline
I highly recommend the mock interview practice with him as he provides constructive feedback to help you shine during the process.
Thank for all your help, Harold.

Consultant Heidi Wiese Granner
Heidi Granner exceeded my expectations as an MBA consultant. She helped me craft clear essays and explore various career paths. She had invaluable insights into crafting a compelling, honest, and persuasive application. Heidi was a source of constant encouragement (especially as I was working under a relatively tight timeline) and also pushed me to produce better work. I feel like I got to know myself better through this process. Thanks to Heidi's guidance, I was accepted to Wharton and will be enrolling this fall. I cannot express enough gratitude for everything Heidi has done. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone pursuing an MBA.

Consultant Debbie Choy
Making the decision to pursue an MBA program during the late stage of the application season and with a significantly low undergraduate GPA put me at a considerable disadvantage from the start. Consequently, I began my search for a consulting service to assist me with my application. After having several free consultations with consultants from various firms, I discovered that Debbie was the only one who provided me with honest advice and an effective application strategy, ultimately helping me regain my confidence. Working with her over the past three months has been an enjoyable experience. Debbie consistently demonstrated her professionalism and experience in every aspect, from structuring and refining my essays and resume to preparing me for interviews. She helped me uncover my strengths, guiding me to effectively showcase them in my essays, and she provided me with a newfound clarity in defining my career goals. Moreover, Debbie imparted invaluable techniques on capturing the attention of interviewers. If there were any lingering doubts about committing myself to an MBA program before working with Debbie, they have vanished completely. With her invaluable assistance, I successfully gained admission to Rice Business School. I strongly recommend Debbie to anyone seeking to maximize their chances of receiving offers from their dream schools.

Consultant John Sisk
John was meant to be an MBA Admissions Consultant. His level of care and how committed he is to each client is unparalleled. He communicates feedback thoroughly and in a timely manner. He makes sure to check in and has a ton of patience when working with you. I had a bit of a quick turnaround and he made sure to let me know on a regular basis that we were pacing well and that all will be alright. He really develops a rapport with you and helps you see a clear way to tell your story. I could not be where I am at today without John.

Consultant Harshad Mali
Choosing to work with Harshad has been a blessing. From the start, he was genuinely interested in my story and believed that I could be admitted into a top school, even though I didn’t have quite the same conviction. He is thoughtful, patient, detail-oriented and direct. Of all his qualities, I most appreciated his respectful directness, as it enabled us to have an open and honest dialogue which increased our efficiency and improved the quality of my application.
Harshad’s belief in my candidacy instilled a sense of confidence I hadn’t previously exhibited. His unique introspective style challenged me to dig deep and create a compelling narrative for my essays, while also helping me realize why I want to truly pursue an MBA. This, coupled with his ability to create a powerful story helped transform my essays and changed the way in which I approach storytelling. He was also able to successfully change my interview style through our mock interviews. These new skills were not only critical in curating a successful application but will be pivotal in my career going forward.
In conclusion, Harshad has been both a consultant and a mentor. Outside of our work on essays, he consistently made time to discuss strategy, give advice and provide guidance on my future. I am certain there are many knowledgeable consultants out there, however very few have the ability to connect personally and share such a genuine interest in their client’s success. Harshad always went above and beyond and helped me get into three great schools – Yale SOM, INSEAD and NYU Stern. These schools would have been quite a reach had I worked alone. The process is undoubtedly pricey, but it has been the best investment I have ever made. I can’t recommend Harshad highly enough!

Consultant Jessica Shklar
I reached out to Jessica when I was struggling with essays. I wanted to apply to a few top schools but wasn't able to figure out how to pick the right stories. I needed some help with brainstorming and guidance. Jessica provided all that and more. She has been simply incredible. Right from my first conversation with her, she made me feel comfortable due to her honesty and approachability. I knew immediately that I would reach out to her for hourly services if required. I am so glad I did! Jessica is very insightful and was able to expertly help me weave a strong narrative that was authentic and honest. I was initially reluctant to write about some experiences I had gone through but she helped me see aspects of those stories that I hadn't considered before. I am glad I trusted her and took her advice. She really knows her stuff. I also got to know myself really well in the process and enjoyed every minute with her. She is also extremely prompt with replies and answers questions patiently.
She helped me secure 5 admits and one of them is my dream school that I will be going to this fall! A year back, I would NEVER have expected to get in especially because of my above average age, middling score and non-traditional background but Jessica made it possible. She believed in me and helped me believe in myself. I'm extremely grateful that I got to work with her and I know it's not an exaggeration when I say that she changed my career trajectory.

Consultant Debbie Choy
Debbie's professionalism and expertise throughout the application process were truly exceptional. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the admissions landscape and skillfully guided me through each step. Her personalized strategies and attention to detail greatly strengthened my application.
Debbie's organizational skills, responsiveness, and insightful feedback were also invaluable. She helped me present my strengths effectively, and her genuine support and motivation made the journey enjoyable. I was worried initially as I was not good at taking standard tests. Thanks to her guidance, I eventually got admitted into M7 - an achievement I attribute to her expertise.
I wholeheartedly recommend Debbie to anyone seeking an admission consultant. Her professionalism, expertise, and personalized approach make her an outstanding choice. I am immensely grateful for her assistance in achieving this significant milestone in my career.

Consultant Harold Simansky
Harold Simansky was immensely helpful throughout the process of applying to early admissions MBA programs. As a student in my final semester of college studying computer science, I was unsure of what exactly top MBA programs were looking for in applicants. Harold helped me focus on the experiences that were most important, while also giving me suggestions on how I should best talk about these events. His perspective was extremely helpful when trying to explain my role in technical projects to a business-focused audience. Harold ultimately helped me get accepted to MIT Sloan's early admissions MBA program, and I would highly recommend him as a consultant.

Consultant John Sisk
I recently had the pleasure of working with John on three full-time MBA applications (2022-2023 application cycle, start-to-finish package, all M7 programs), and could not be more pleased with my experience. John is the ultimate professional – thoughtful, responsive, knowledgeable, and encouraging – though what struck me the most was his ability to extract crucial details from various (seemingly unrelated) personal and professional experiences, and distill those into a concise, cohesive narrative that perfectly highlighted my strengths and potential at business school and beyond. It is worth noting that prior to engaging with John, I actually applied to a fourth program during R1, and the differences between my unassisted application and the applications that I worked on with John are startling. Most importantly, the narrative that John and I crafted together is actually more authentic and compelling than the story I was able to tell on my own. Because of this, I truly feel that I put my best foot forward with each program, and I strongly doubt that I would be in the position that I am without John’s guidance and support.
Despite working under a slightly compressed timeline, John helped me prepare three very thorough / polished MBA applications in advance of various R2 deadlines, ultimately resulting in my admission to both CBS and Booth. Though a difficult decision (which John thoughtfully helped me navigate), I eventually / excitedly accepted my offer from CBS, who also offered me a very generous (and unexpected!) merit-based scholarship. I could not be more thrilled with this outcome, which I firmly believe would not have been achievable had John and I not worked together.
TL;DR: my experience with John was overwhelmingly positive, and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone considering this type of service. Thank you, John!
