My experience working with Harold was outstanding. I approached the MBA application process with very limited time and an ambitious plan: apply to four top programs, all of which were “reach” schools given my GMAT score. Harold turned out to be exactly the person I needed. Thanks to his guidance, I was admitted to three of those schools — each with generous scholarship offers.
From the start, Harold took the time to really get to know me — my background, my interests, my career path — and used all of that to help craft the strongest applications possible. He guided me through every part of the process and I always felt supported. He was incredibly responsive and available whenever I needed to connect.
When we first started, I had no clear idea what my essay topics should be or which stories to highlight. Harold’s deep experience showed right away. He helped me uncover and shape the stories that would resonate most with admissions committees. Instead of discouraging me because of my lower test score or suggesting I delay my applications to improve my stats, Harold focused on identifying my strengths and figuring out how to showcase them effectively. Once we aligned on the key themes and strategy, he fully believed in me and never let any doubts creep in. His confidence in my profile helped boost my own, especially as I prepared for interviews.
One of Harold’s standout skills is his ability to trim down essay drafts to meet word limits while keeping all the important content intact — and he does it quickly and naturally.
He was also fantastic at managing deadlines. Not only did he turn around essay edits rapidly (often in less than a day), but he kept me calm as deadlines approached. He promised we’d finalize materials a few days before each due date — and we did. By the end, I felt proud of every application I submitted and had ample time to review everything without stress.
I have no doubt that without Harold’s help, I wouldn’t have received the same admissions outcomes — and especially not the scholarship offers. Working with him was one of the best decisions I made during the application process. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

I can’t say enough about my experience working with Jessica. Her deep knowledge of the programs enabled me to have a clear sense of what each school was looking for and tailor my applications and interview prep accordingly. Her breadth of experience meant she had ample ideas on how to best position the different elements of my application, particularly in one area that was complicated to explain. Her fun and supportive nature helped me be at my best through the ups and downs of the process, and made her such a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

I was fortunate to work with Melissa for my MBA applications. She guided me through the entire process with honesty and her deep insight that made all the difference. Melissa helped elevate every part of my application – from revamping my resume and crafting compelling essays to preparing for the interviews. She also recommended that I take the Executive Assessment (EA), as my GMAT score was on the lower end. That turned out to be great advice, as I performed really well on the EA.

Thanks to Melissa’s support, I was accepted into four top business schools and received a scholarship offer from all of them. The return on investment from working with her has been incredible – ranging from 300% to 900% in scholarship value alone.

Melissa genuinely cares about her clients. She’s not only an exceptional consultant, but also a true friend who makes your dreams come true. She made my applications an order of magnitude stronger. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone seeking guidance on their MBA journey.

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!

As an international student applying to US MBA programs, the whole process a bit of a black box. No one teaches you about it and you aren't exposed often to alumni that can explain the intricacies of applying.

I met Harold in August. I was accepted into HBS in March. This is a LONG period of time and it is a lonely journey. I 100% would not have achieved this objective without him.

Harold was a star throughout but three things shine particularly bright :

1 Exceptional guidance : Harold knows the journey well and had an incredible ability to help me correctly prioritise tasks and assess trade offs. When was it better to focus on GMAT/GRE and when to focus on essays? Which schools to start with ? Which essays first ? This made my journey much more calm and filled in gaps most of us have when doing this application process

2 Dedication & professionalism : Getting the school you want is really important and that's why you'd use external support in the first place. When you are feeling stressed, knowing the person supporting you truly has your back is invaluable. Not that I think he should, but Harold regularly took calls on holidays, at odd hours given his family commitments and regularly provided excellent feedback in short turnaround times, often faster than officially agreed turnaround times. This gave me energy and confidence across the journey

3 Rare blend of creative and logical : Harold has an excellent brain. On the one hand, rigorous, honest, challenging and thorough. On the other, creative, inventive and visionary. This means he is able to spar with you on multiple fronts and help you create and iterate on work until it is both cogent and compelling.

I would highly recommend Harold to anyone looking for support.

Susan is an all-star: she is whip smart, an expert in her field, and an emotionally attuned cheerleader for what can be a very taxing process. I got into every school I applied to, including Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton, a homerun outcome for which Susan deserves a lot of credit. Susan is generous and flexible with her time; even as an hourly client, I knew she was in my corner and available when I needed her. She is the best in the business -- I am so glad I chose to work with her and now consider her a friend. I highly recommend that you do the same!

Working with Christine was one of my best decisions during my R2 MBA application journey. From the moment we started working together in November, she became so much more than just an advisor. She was a coach, a thought partner, and a source of calm and encouragement that helped me push through tight deadlines with confidence.
Christine’s sincere and honest feedback helped me discover dimensions of my story I hadn’t seen in myself. She had a great ability to connect dots I hadn’t thought to link, often revealing deeper themes that made my essays come alive.
She also personally invested in my success in a way that went far beyond what I expected. Whether it was turning around drafts in record time (including over the Christmas holidays!) or jumping on calls to help me find clarity under pressure, she always showed up with empathy, focus, and invaluable insights on the admission process. Her dedication was unwavering, and in moments when I was running on fumes, she brought the energy I needed to keep going.
What makes her an absolute rockstar is how deeply she cares. Throughout the months we worked together, she believed in me and always encouraged me to stay authentic, pushed me to dig deeper, and always made sure my voice remained at the center of everything I submitted.
I began the application process without the intention of hiring a consultant, but looking back, Christine’s guidance was invaluable and definitely played a key role in my admission into my top schools: HBS, GSB, and Wharton.
If you’re considering working with her, don’t hesitate. Christine isn’t just a great consultant, she’s a game-changer. I can say with complete confidence: she’s the real deal.

Harold’s strengths lie in his ability to combine strategic insight with a truly personal, human approach. He didn’t just help me craft strong applications — he helped me uncover and articulate the deeper motivations behind my decision to pursue an MBA in the first place. That kind of clarity became the foundation for every essay, interview, and school choice I made. He was also incredibly responsive and generous with his time — always willing to hop on a call or offer feedback with very quick turnaround. I never felt like I was going through this alone. What made the biggest impact, though, was that Harold genuinely understood me. That level of personal investment made all the difference.

Would make the product better:

Honestly, nothing. Harold exceeded every expectation I had. His support was comprehensive, timely, and deeply personalized. I always felt like a priority — not once did I feel like anything was missing from the process.

Working with Harold was hands-down the most important decision I made during my MBA admissions journey. I initially came to Harold thinking I wanted to apply to Executive MBA programs, but he encouraged me to take a step back and really reflect on where I was in my career and what I wanted out of the next phase of my life. That conversation led me to explore the Sloan Fellows programs — an option I hadn’t considered before — and I’m so glad I did. I ultimately got admitted to every school I applied to, including Stanford MSx, MIT Sloan Fellows, and the Rotman One-Year MBA. I truly couldn’t have done it without Harold.

Harold was incredibly engaged at every step of the process. He didn’t just review my essays or give surface-level feedback — he really took the time to get to know me. We met countless times over several months, and I always felt like I had his full attention. He helped me clarify my values and drivers before I even began writing, which made the entire application feel more authentic and grounded. His turnaround time was incredibly fast, and the feedback was always sharp, constructive, and deeply thoughtful. He even brought in one of his colleagues to run additional mock interviews with me to help me see different angles — a move that reflects how invested he was in my success.

What stood out most was Harold’s personal commitment. He truly cared. I never felt like just another client. He understood my story, believed in me, and helped me show up as my best and most honest self in every application and interview.

If you’re serious about applying to a top MBA or Fellows program and want someone who’s strategic, compassionate, and personally invested in your success — Harold is the person you want by your side.
