Hourly Services Reviews

I had the privilege of working with Jen who truly elevated my application process. Her professionalism and expertise were evident from the very beginning. She showed me the right way to highlight my strengths while skilfully navigating around any potential weaknesses, ensuring my application shone brightly.

Her up-to-date knowledge of the expected interview questions proved invaluable, enabling me to approach the interview with confidence and poise. Thanks to her guidance, I secured a place at the university of my choice.

I highly recommend Jet to anyone seeking to maximise their chances of success in the competitive MBA admissions process. Wishing everyone the best!

Working on taking stock of my educational and professional accomplishments up until now was a helpful and interesting experience with Jessica. It was a combination of understanding what my strengths and weaknesses were and phrasing them to outline the accomplishments and filling the gaps of possible shortfalls. Going into the process, I had a solid idea that I wanted to work with Jessica, given how splendid her recommendation was from my closest friends. I chose to go with hourly services as I have previously given thought to what my story was and had limited but solid experience of pitching myself from experiences at US university coupled with working on sell-side at a private equity. Hourly services decision was also driven by me not having GMAT score (never prepped or wrote the exam) and wanting to apply to only UK universities. Should I wanted to apply for prestigious MBA programs in USA, I would have certainly gone for 3-5 school packages.
I have enjoyed fast-paced, to the point discussions with Jessica, honored turn-around times and the outcome was to make it all worthwhile (more on that below). However, where Jessica truly made a difference was taking my application to the next level – making me not a good candidate but an outstanding one for the programs that I was applying for. She identified the questions that based on my profile would be tricky to handle – I had a gap of > 6m before the start of the programme – and we worked on those with more care. Further, she was able to translate for me what the particular questions were getting at – what do your friends and family think about your plans – and identify patterns in my story to exhaustively answer those. My younger sister is considering to apply for MBA/Master’s programs and I would not hesitate to recommend Jessica to assist her in forming a story for the next stage in her professional life.
I have applied to Master in Finance at London Business School, Master in Finance at University of Cambridge and Imperial MBA (where I had a GMAT requirement waived) along with applying to Cass, NYU and Northeastern using the prompts that we have developed together. I have gotten accepted into all six universities and even received a scholarship at two of those.
I would highly recommend splurging on Admissions Consulting Services if you are taking your graduate plans seriously and Jessica if you would like to place your story in the best hands.

Harold is a phenomenal coach and played an invaluable role in my application process. His down-to-earth personality and genuine interest in understanding my pursuit of a dual MBA/master’s in urban planning degree made the experience both rewarding and introspective.

Before I started working with Harold, I had an idea of what I wanted to do in the long term but no idea how to get there. From the start, Harold took the time to get to know me and asked lots of questions to help me understand what I wanted out of an MBA. He then was able to use his expertise in the professional world and as an MIT Sloan grad to present paths that would allow me to achieve my long-term goals. From there, the essay writing came quite easily, and he assisted me in editing and refining my story.

Not only was I able to articulate my goals to the schools to which I applied, but Harold was also there to patiently answer my questions about every aspect of applications. I shared my thoughts and concerns with him openly from our first call until I decided on a school - I always felt comfortable being transparent with him, and he was always quick to respond.

Because of Harold’s support, I got into Wharton, a school to which I almost did not apply because I felt so underqualified, and received a full scholarship from another top 20 school. I know I would not have achieved these results without him and feel so grateful to be in this position because of him. I wholeheartedly recommend Harold to anyone, no matter where you are in your journey of figuring out how you want to use your MBA. Thank you, Harold, for everything!

Having completed the MBA process a few months ago, I can very confidently say that I wouldn’t have had the success that I had in the MBA process (getting into 5 full-time MBA programs with scholarships at each of them, receiving interviews from each school I applied to, and eventually committing to go to an M7 MBA program) without Kim. When I started working with Kim, I told her that I was working on a tighter timeline during Round 2 (I had started the MBA process in the fall of last year) and she constantly exceeded my expectations in helping me achieve all of my goals in this shorter timeline. It is because of Kim that I am going to my dream school. 

The combination of Kim’s many years of experience in MBA admissions consulting, her expertise in English, kindness, patience and personable nature made our time working together such a success. I enjoyed working with her so much! She worked tirelessly to help me during this process and was always so responsive as well as deeply committed to her craft of helping her clients achieve their goals. 

I worked with Kim during the resume/essay editing, mock interview preparation, and scholarship negotiation phases of the MBA process. Her suggestions to improve the quality of my essays and my resume were invaluable. I could tell that she took a lot of time to critically think about how my essays/resume could be refined where needed. Outside of her support in essay/resume review, Kim also conducted several mock interviews with me. She asked thoughtful questions and she thoroughly prepared me for my interviews. After each of my interviews, Kim would check in to see how I felt after completing them. Her thoughtful nature and the personal touch she adds to everything she does truly differentiates Kim from other MBA consultants. Even after I had completed my interviews at each school, Kim would frequently check in to see how I was feeling during the process and provide encouragement. Kim also supported and guided me through the scholarship negotiation phase of the MBA application process, providing me with highly beneficial advice and edits for any emails or documentation that I needed to send out. With the school that I decided to commit to, I received a sizable scholarship from them, which is largely due to the advice and guidance that I received from Kim. 

I highly recommend anyone looking for a highly experienced, wise, friendly and personable MBA consultant to work with Kim. Kim is the best out there! It was highly apparent throughout the entirety of the process that she was so genuinely invested in my success and cared so much about me getting into one of my dream schools. Thanks to her, I did it and am going to my dream school. Thank you SO much, Kim!!!

Harold is very professional, has a in depth understanding of the MBA application process and individual business schools. Harold cares about his clients. Without his guidance, coaching and encouragement, I would not be able to get into my dream business school. Thank you, Harold! He is the dream consultant.

I started MBA application process two months before round 2 deadline. Because of Harold’s strategic application plan and quick turnaround time, I was able to submit 6 school applications on time. Throughout the entire application, interview, and waitlist process, Harold has always been very patiently answering my questions and providing me insightful feedbacks. Harold is empathetic and very generous about his time. I feel very comfortable just sending him email or call him when I have questions. Harold also provided me insightful outline of the 2-year MBA journey and post-MBA career advices. Harold is more than a consultant, he has became my mentor.

Harold’s service worth every penny. I would recommend Harold to my friends who plan to apply for MBA.

I cannot emphasise enough how much I recommend Melissa as an MBA admission consultant. Working with her was an absolute game-changer! Her expertise, dedication, and support played a crucial role in my admission to all three programs during the final application round.

Melissa truly took the time to understand my unique story, aspirations and goals by deep diving into my background and experiences and ensure it was effectively communicated in every aspect of my application. Melissa’s warm, thoughtful and genuine approach created a safe space where I felt super comfortable sharing my ideas or concerns throughout the process.

Her insightful advice were absolute gold. Melissa provided invaluable feedback, helping me refine my ideas and craft compelling narratives that truly demonstrated my unique story.

Melissa’s commitment to time is unparalleled. I was working on an extremely tight timeframe for the final application round and she always ensured that we stayed on track. Her prompt responses to my inquiries and availability for calls provided me with a sense of reliability that was very comforting.

Melissa genuinely cares, her dedication and belief in my abilities instilled me with great confidence and enthusiasm (especially during interviews) that were instrumental to my success. This is truly one of the best decisions you can make!

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.

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.

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.

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.
