What can I say in this review that hasn't already been said by the plethora of success stories on this page?

Karen is absolutely amazing - from day one, I felt that she believed in me, and my ability to get into a top M7 program.

While other highly ranked consultants I had previously spoken with told me to increase my GMAT score to compensate for my demographic, Karen believed in the uniqueness of my story, and gave her full dedication to helping me to bring it to life!

Given the circumstances last year, the journey for a 2021 applicant was not always straightforward or predictable - a few short weeks after we started working together, offices went remote and our entire company had to pivot its business model and ways of working. When certain milestones had to be pushed back, Karen was always flexible and made herself available to provide feedback whenever I needed her. Throughout the time we worked together, I felt that Karen was highly knowledgable, patient, empathetic, and fully committed to making this application process a success. Throughout the twists and turns of 2020, Karen was there to support me every step of the way!

I was so thrilled when I got the interview invite, and Karen worked with me on a very accelerated timeline to get me ready for the final interview.

I was so thrilled to get accepted to my school of choice and to be admitted into an M7 MBA program.

I can't imagine a better consultant to work with, and would wholeheartedly recommend Karen Hamou to anyone!

Before I started working with Mark Sullivan, my dream to get into an M7 program was just that - a dream. I scored a 620 on the practice test and I needed to significantly increase my scores to be in contention for a top program.

I was in a general management position that could be all-encompassing - so I knew that I needed a structured program to keep the ball rolling, that was also compatible with my travel schedule. Taking all this into account, the live online program was the perfect fit for me.

From day one, it was an absolute pleasure working with Mark. He was friendly, approachable, and was always enthusiastic about the subject matter. As a 790 scorer, he had lots of tips and tricks to solve problems more effectively. He helped us reframe "problems" to look at them as "puzzles", and challenged us to find the quickest way to the destination. In addition to the Manhattan Prep material, he had tons of additional tools, such as the "arithmetic game" to sharpen our skills. Also, he worked with us to put together individual study plans for us to increase our scores.

He was a great teacher, and a pleasure to learn from. Would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to sign up for GMAT classes.
