During our first call, Harshad immediately put me at ease. He explained that there was no pressure to work together and didn’t come across as salesy. That made our discussion productive and helped me understand clearly how he could guide me. He shared detailed foundational materials at the start. While these felt overwhelming and a bit bureaucratic at first, they ended up being incredibly helpful for keeping the process organized and making communication across multiple drafts and essays much easier.

After spending years in my own professional bubble, my version of my story came off as dry. Harshad’s deep understanding of the MBA admissions landscape made all the difference. He helped me turn my background into compelling, clear narratives that highlighted the unique qualities I’d bring to the classroom. He also guided me in striking the right balance between my experiences and aspirations in my applications.

Harshad invests time not only in understanding your story but also in noticing patterns in how you think, which proved very useful. He organized multiple calls and made it easy for me to clarify what mattered most and what I wanted from business school.

His school selection strategy was logical and centered on what you’re hoping to get from the MBA experience. I ended up changing some schools on my final Round 1 list based on his advice. After visiting campuses and speaking with students and alumni, I found his perspectives truly added value to my own research. He helped me prioritize which applications would be most challenging and which materials could be reused across schools. He consistently put my best interests first. Even for schools where I wasn’t using his services, he generously shared his advice.

For one of my essays, I struggled to keep my message concise without losing its core meaning. Harshad patiently worked through several drafts with me until I was happy. His incredibly fast turnaround, often within 24 hours, was a lifesaver while I balanced work and applications.

Thanks to Harshad’s guidance, I was admitted to Harvard, which was truly a dream come true. His methodical approach and patient mentoring were key in helping me overcome my initial challenges and present the strongest possible application.

If you’re worried about not having the usual feeder pedigree that seems common on online forums, don’t get discouraged. Be genuine when telling your story and work with Harshad, who is truly skilled at helping you showcase what makes you unique so you can stand out in a competitive pool.

Cat Ho was an incredibly supportive, professional, and constructive MBA consultant throughout my application journey. I feel very lucky to have found her and truly appreciated her support throughout the process. With her guidance, I was admitted to Cornell Johnson as a reapplicant. I would highly recommend Cat to anyone looking for an experienced, detail-oriented, personable and genuinely caring MBA admissions consultant.

Cat’s advice was consistently insightful, practical and tailored to my situation. She asked thought-provoking questions that helped me reflect more deeply on my experiences and present my story more clearly. She understands what business schools value and helped me identify the most relevant parts of my experiences. When unexpected situations came up, she was experienced and resourceful in helping me find solutions.

As an international applicant planning a career pivot to the US, I found it extremely helpful that Cat is familiar with the US culture and values. When it came to presenting topics such as my career trajectory and future goals, she helped me frame them in a way that would resonate with an international admissions audience, ensuring that important parts of my story were recognized for their true value.

Cat was excellent at managing the overall timeline and pace of our work together. Even during urgent moments, she responded very quickly and helped me stay calm. Her turnaround time was consistently reliable and easy to work with. I really came to rely on Cat as my guide in this process, and this faith in her allowed me to relax and focus on what I needed to do.

Beyond her professionalism, Cat was also very encouraging. She was always cheering me on and giving me confidence when I needed it. She believed in me from the very beginning, even when I didn’t believe in myself as a reapplicant. Through our mock interviews, she helped me understand what an actual MBA interview would feel like, prepare strong answers to common questions, and let go of unnecessary worries about unlikely scenarios. She also taught me tips on how to make the meeting settings look professional like in the American workplace. That preparation greatly improved my ability to stay composed, manage the conversation, and speak with confidence.

I can’t recommend Cat enough. If you get to work with her, you won’t regret it.

Working with Gavriella as my MBA consultant was a genuinely positive experience overall. She brought strong strategic thinking to the process and her ideas around positioning and storytelling were thoughtful.

That said, there were a few areas where I wanted more. A couple of times I felt certain essays needed more development and she'd sign off on them as ready, and when I shared them with others afterward, they agreed there was more work to be done. I would have appreciated a more critical eye and a willingness to push drafts further before calling them finished. Turnaround on reviews also occasionally slipped past the 48-hour window.

She's clearly knowledgeable and genuinely invested in her clients, and the overall experience was positive.

Susan is the best MBA coach out there! Prior to even working with Susan, she provided me with incredible advice and support during my GMAT journey. Throughout the application process, she was invaluable to my application and the biggest reason I was accepted to three top business schools. Her ability to shape and revise my essay application questions based on my specific story was outstanding. Truthfully, I was hesitant to spend the money on an MBA coach because of the costliness, but I can say without hesitation that Susan was worth every penny and then some! She was the biggest reason I was accepted to my dream school and I can’t recommend her enough! If you are thinking about an MBA coach, Susan is your person!

Gavriella was extremely responsive throughout the process, which made a huge difference given how stressful MBA applications can be. More importantly, she really knows what she is doing. She listens carefully, understands your story, and knows how to bring out the strongest, most authentic version of your profile without making it feel forced or generic.

I applied to only one school, in Round 3, in a very competitive environment, and was admitted. That result speaks for itself. Beyond the outcome, Gavriella was incredibly helpful in pushing me to think more clearly, communicate my story better, and get the best out of myself.

I highly recommend working with Jen! I worked with Jen under an incredibly tight timeline - I got a GMAT score that put me in the range T15's two weeks until applications were due. Jen was incredibly responsive and worked with me many late nights to make sure I got the best quality applications out and on time.

I was below the class profile averages of each school for GPA / GMAT and was applying in the last and toughest round. Yet I was accepted to all three schools I applied to! I have Jen to thank for that.

I highly recommend working with Jen to anyone considering applying to business school. It is a definite needle mover.

At the same time, she ensured I was fully prepared for every step of the process, particularly interviews. With her support, I was not only accepted to my dream program, but to every school I applied to.

Make sure you have enough time before the application deadline. The consultants work with multiple applicants, so turnaround time will be 1-2 business days. Obviously, you want feedback immediately but that is not feasible.

Working with Julie-Anne was an absolute game-changer for my MBA application process. Ultimately, I got into the schools I applied to, which makes the entire investment worth it. Looking back at the journey, her resume restructuring and essay editing services were incredibly helpful; she has a unique talent for helping you find your unique voice and shaping your professional story into something truly compelling for an admissions committee.

Furthermore, her interview preparation, especially for Wharton's unique team-based discussion format, was exceptional and completely calmed my nerves. I cannot recommend Julie-Anne enough to anyone navigating this competitive process. She is an absolute rockstar!
