Consultant Kelsey Kephart
Working with Kelsey was one of the best decisions I made during the MBA application process. With her support, I netted over a million dollars in scholarships (crazy right?!?). But beyond the money, what made her stand out was her responsiveness. I could shoot her an email and get thoughtful, helpful feedback so quickly, it felt like she was in this process with me every step of the way. She was so quick to jump on a call and chat through things live with me.
What I think makes Kelsey the best is that she didn’t just edit my essays (which is what I hired her for) but she took my story and made it stronger, while keeping my voice. She helped me pull out the pieces that mattered, frame them with intention, and kept the heart of it all intact. I used to spend hours trimming down my essay and trying to get it below the word limit but Kelsey would do what took me 3 hours in 15 minutes. Kelsey also pushed me to apply for schools I didn't even think I had a shot at and she was right, I got into an M7 with scholarship money!
What I appreciated most is that she was fair, fast, and just so good at her job. She works efficiently, never cuts corners, and her feedback is honest but kind. I never felt like she was trying to get more money from me, which I feel like is rare in this industry. For everything she brings to the table, she’s an incredible value—especially when you consider the ROI of those scholarship offers. Could not recommend her more and truly think it was the best decision I made in this entire process.
I got into 13/14 schools and am heading to a top 10 MBA with full tuition and a stipend. I'm so excited!
