Vantage Point | MBA Admissions Consultants

I cannot recommend Sacha highly enough. She supported me through every stage of my HBS application, from early strategy and positioning through to final essays and interview preparation. Her depth of knowledge of the MBA admissions process is exceptional, and her feedback was always thoughtful, specific, and highly actionable.

What really sets Sacha apart is her ability to build confidence while pushing for excellence, she helped me clarify my story, strengthen my voice, and present myself authentically without ever feeling generic or over-edited. We were on a tight timeline but she stayed confident in me, and I always left our sessions with clear next steps and renewed confidence in my application. She dedicated so much time to me in those final two weeks before application deadlines, I couldn’t have done it without her!

Working with Sacha was truly invaluable, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone applying to top MBA programs.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Iynna at Vantage Point. With her guidance and support, I was accepted to all 8 MBA programs I applied to, and am currently deciding between HBS and GSB. Iynna was incredible to work with throughout the entire application process and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

I came into the process with a lot of excitement and a unique story, however I lacked a clear throughline narrative to tie everything together. From the very beginning, Iynna pushed me to think deeply and spend a lot of time being introspective, which turned out to be the hardest yet most important part of the process. In the end, she helped me put together a personal brand that didn’t only get me accepted to my dream school(s) but also provided more clarity for my personal life goals.

What stood out most with Iynna was the energy and care she brought to every session. The process felt exciting and motivating because I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who cared just as much as I did about the outcome. She struck the perfect balance between holding me to very high standards and encouraging me to believe in myself, while also knowing when I needed to pause, reset, or trust the work I had already done. For example, reassuring me when I was convinced I needed to retake the GRE, but at the same time pushing me to give an essay another go when it genuinely needed more work. Just as importantly, she genuinely celebrated my wins with me along the way, which made the long and often stressful process feel much more human and rewarding.

Whether we were brainstorming application strategy, clarifying my short and long term goals, or reading and rereading (and rereading) my essays, Iynna was consistently thoughtful, engaged, and patient. She was always quick to respond to emails, talk me through any spirals, and share insights about schools, deadlines, or last minute changes. Knowing she was helping oversee the broader process and logistics gave me the confidence to focus fully on my applications. I truly do not think I could have navigated this journey without her support all year.

Overall, the service was absolutely worth it and far exceeded my expectations. I received deeply personalized strategic guidance alongside exceptionally thoughtful, high-quality essay support. Sacha’s perspective stood out in particular – her opinions were consistently sharp, insightful, and clearly grounded in a deep understanding of top MBA programs and what actually differentiates successful candidates. What I valued most was that this was not generic advice or templated feedback. Even as someone highly engaged in the process and coming in with strong initial ideas, I found Sacha’s strategic judgment meaningfully improved how I positioned my story and sharpened my essays at every stage. Her guidance on both overall application strategy and individual essays was intellectually rigorous, practical, and genuinely elevated the final product. I would strongly recommend this service to anyone serious about putting forward their best possible MBA application.

Tim was unbelievably insightful and brought clarity, strategy, and confidence to every step of my application process. He consistently took the time to understand my goals, gave thoughtful, detailed feedback, and was always available whenever I had a question no matter how small or last-minute. Thanks to his guidance, I achieved outcomes far beyond what I thought was possible, and I genuinely don’t believe I would have reached this level of success without his support.

I can’t recommend Melanie highly enough. She was an outstanding MBA coach and is the only reason I was accepted. Melanie helped me clarify my story, strengthen my essays, and approach interviews with much more confidence.

What really sets her apart is how thoughtful and personalized her guidance is. She asked the right questions even when I was stuck, gave clear and practical feedback, and genuinely cared about my success. Working with her not only improved my applications but also helped me better articulate my goals overall.

I’m incredibly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone applying to top MBA programs or looking for strong professional coaching.

I only applied to Wharton, UChicago Booth, and MIT Sloan, and I was fortunate to be accepted by all three. I came to know Kristen through colleagues who had applied to MBA programs with her guidance and spoke very highly of her.

I still remember my first conversation with Kristen. I was experiencing imposter syndrome and wanted to apply to additional programs as “safety schools” (though, of course, there is no such thing as a true safety school). Kristen gave me the confidence to focus only on the schools I truly wanted to attend and encouraged me to make the most of each application, rather than spreading myself too thin.

Throughout the process, Kristen was incredibly responsive and supportive. I cannot thank her enough for guiding me through every step. Even when I felt anxious, it was reassuring to know that Kristen was there, working with me to help achieve the best possible outcome.

In the final days before the deadlines, Kristen went above and beyond. She generously spent extra time over a weekend and even during the holidays to review my materials one last time. I still feel a bit guilty about this, as I had been overwhelmed by my full-time job and completed my applications at the last minute for Round 1.

I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone considering applying to an MBA program. She is extremely skilled at uncovering the strongest parts of your story and shaping them into a compelling, authentic narrative.

Caryn was instrumental in helping me craft my own authentic story for my MBA applications. I attended a regional university for undergrad and had limited work experience. She guided me thoughtfully through choosing schools, helped me prepare for each interview, and gave me support throughout the entire process. Thanks to her, I received interview invites at every school I applied to and ultimately was admitted to multiple schools including my m7 school of choice with significant scholarship funding. I truly couldn’t have done it without her.

I really loved working with Kristen. Without her, I know my application materials (essays, interview prep, resume) would have been very different than what I submitted. She pushed me to go deeper and provide more depth in my writing and create a cohesive story for my application that still felt authentic to me. She was also very direct with her feedback, never settling for less than what she thought was best or sugarcoating anything. We iterated back and forth many times on my resume and certain essays, and I was always able to meet with her when I needed to. I got into Booth, Kellogg, and Haas, and got scholarship money from two of the three. Kristen came highly recommended to me from a friend and former coworker, I would highly recommend her to you!

I couldn’t imagine a better partner than Melody to take on the admissions process with. From our very first meeting, Melody demonstrated both expert knowledge of the process as well as the desire and ability to draw out the deeply personal values, motivations, and experiences that were necessary to craft a unique and authentic application. Throughout the 15 months of working together, Melody was relentlessly supportive, positive, and true joy to work with. I applied to 3 M7 programs and was accepted to 2 of them, including my top choice and could not be happier with the outcome. I’d highly recommend Melody to any MBA applicant looking to dive deep into themselves and tell their story in an undeniably unique and personal way that will set them apart.

I had an absolutely great experience working with Tim and Vantage Point. From the very beginning, the guidance was structured, thoughtful, and highly personalised.

Because Tim had previously worked at the same firm where I am currently employed, he was able to truly understand my background and help extract the strongest elements of my profile and application. We went through multiple iterations of my personal brand narrative, and at every stage, the feedback felt tailored specifically to me rather than generic advice.

Tim was always flexible, approachable, and readily available to help—something that was extremely important to me during such a demanding process. Beyond the tactical guidance, he also played a crucial role as a motivator. Despite my slightly lower GMAT score, he strongly encouraged me to apply to my dream schools and believe in the overall strength of my profile.

I’m delighted to share that this resulted in me getting into my #1 choice and dream school, London Business School. I genuinely believe this outcome would not have been possible without Tim’s guidance, support, and confidence in me.

I would highly recommend Tim and Vantage Point to anyone serious about applying to top global MBA programs.

I had a fantastic experience working with Kristin as my MBA consultant. She was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with my challenging scheduling needs. Beyond that, her insights into the application process and essays were invaluable. She struck the perfect balance between utilizing my perspective and pushing for more specificity and depth. Thanks to her guidance, my essays truly reflected my brand and goals. The results speak for themselves as I got accepted into my top choice program!

I am thrilled to be starting my MBA at one of the Top 20 programs. My background was far from ideal. I did not have a strong career trajectory, had not been working for two years, and my GMAT score was not competitive. Getting into a top program felt like a long shot until I met Alan.

The training process with Alan was not easy, but it was incredibly effective. Even before writing essays, we spent a lot of time on reflection and brainstorming. At the time, it felt demanding, but I later realized how essential it was. Alan asked me thoughtful, detailed questions about my life stories, questions I would never have asked myself if I were doing this alone. He is an excellent listener and truly empathetic, which made me feel comfortable sharing my experiences. He then helped me connect those stories to my MBA goals in a way that was smooth, persuasive, and authentic. He is especially skilled at identifying and filling the gaps in an application.

Alan is also extremely dedicated and caring. The day before one of my deadlines, I thought I was ready to submit, only to discover several unexpected additional questions in the application. I panicked. Alan immediately stepped in, and we met three times that day, in the morning, afternoon, and night, to get everything done.

Beyond admissions consulting, Alan is a wonderful life coach. Whenever I felt emotionally overwhelmed or challenged, he offered wise, insightful, and psychologically grounded advice that helped me believe in myself and keep moving forward.

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Alan. Finding the right consultant was difficult at first. It is a significant financial investment, and there is always uncertainty about whether it will be worth it. I am so glad I did my due diligence and chose Alan. Zero regrets. It was a great investment. I was admitted with a half ride scholarship, and I genuinely do not think that would have happened without his guidance.

Alan is someone who truly upgrades your application and significantly increases your chances of getting into a better school.

I worked with Anna to support my MBA application primarily on HBS, and she was wonderful. I worked with her via hours, and ultimately leveraged ~6 hours with her to get a final set of eyes on my resume, essays, and app.

I especially appreciated how supportive and positive she remained while also always being extremely honest (something I really needed with the consultant I was working with) and pushing me when my essays didn’t fully convey the impact or message I was aiming for.

Ultimately – really enjoyed working with Anna and extremely grateful for her support!

Working with Melanie was one of the best decisions I made in my MBA application process, in large part because of the front-loaded work we did early on and how well she carried that clarity through every step that followed.

She pushed me to clearly define my story, motivations, and long-term goals before I started writing. That foundation made everything else more effective: essays were easier to draft and refine, messaging stayed consistent across schools, and interview prep felt focused and natural.

Beyond the upfront work, Melanie was excellent throughout the process. She is direct, strategic, and highly efficient, giving honest, actionable feedback and consistently raising the bar on quality. The process was introspective and demanding, but also extremely well managed.

I would strongly recommend Melanie to anyone looking for a thoughtful, rigorous, and results-driven MBA application consultant.

I came into the MBA application process feeling overwhelmed since there were so many pieces to juggle, and I wasn’t sure where to start. Melanie’s calm presence immediately grounded me, and she helped me break down what felt like an impossible task into something clear and manageable.

What I appreciate most about Melanie is her directness. She doesn’t waste time, and she gives honest, actionable feedback that actually moves you forward. During our early sessions, she guided me through branding myself, which is something I had struggled with on my own. Once the branding was locked in, the rest of the application process, including asset development, became easier and more efficient.

I strongly recommend working with Melanie, especially if you’re feeling unsure about where to begin or how to position yourself. Her clarity and presence helped a lot and I’m grateful to have worked with her.

Working with Melanie was one of the best choices I made in my MBA application journey. She brought a clear, strategic approach to every step, from shaping my story to refining essays and preparing for interviews. Her feedback was always direct, thoughtful, and genuinely aimed at helping me put my best foot forward. I felt supported the entire way, and her guidance made a real difference in my confidence and final results. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for personalized, expert support.

I cannot say enough good things about working with Kristen. Partnering with her was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process, and with her help I was admitted to my dream school, MIT Sloan.

I entered the process confident in my background but unsure how to tell my story in the strongest way. Kristen was incredible at helping me dig deeper and showcase the best version of myself. Her feedback was always honest, specific, and actionable, and her experience as a former admissions committee member really showed. She knows exactly what top programs are looking for and how to help you present yourself at your best.

Kristen was always responsive and supportive, which made an already very stressful experience a lot easier to navigate. When interview invitations came in, I was nervous, but her mock interviews made a huge difference. I walked into each interview feeling prepared, confident, and genuinely excited, and felt like I performed at my best.

I am incredibly grateful for Kristen’s guidance and support, and truly could not have done this without her.

Tim supported me through successful applications to my top schools, and made the entire process less daunting and much more effective. He helped me clearly showcase my background and experience, tailoring each application to individual schools. His feedback was insightful and actionable, directly improving both the quality of my application materials and my confidence throughout the process. Tim also helped manage timelines to allow for feedback from other Vantage Point consultants with direct experience at each school. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Tim to anyone going through the MBA admissions process.

Caryn provided wonderful support throughout the application process. She took time to understand my background and goals with an MBA and post-graduation, and made sure these were well-articulated in all parts of the application. She helped me stay true to my strengths and voice, all while providing suggestions to better articulate my points. I applied to programs with a strong healthcare focus, and Caryn was well-informed on the industry! I received acceptances from Wharton HCM, Kellogg, and Sloan and couldn’t have done it without her help.

Alan is a remarkably intelligent, experienced consultant who truly cares about his client’s success; I could not recommend working with him more. When I began the grueling business school application process, I wanted someone who would be honest about whatever it was going to take to get into a top tier school – and that is exactly what I got with Alan. Through lots of fruitful, introspective brainstorming and discussion Alan helped bring my best qualities and experiences to light, allowing me to refine my story to be the strongest it could possibly be. He guided me effectively through a journey I knew little about towards the school that seemed the perfect fit for me. Whether it was a trivial late night question or a major essay draft iteration, Alan was always there for me with straightforward and practical feedback. When it came time for interview prep, Alan was more than happy to meet on weekends and as often as needed to ensure I was thoroughly prepared for any questions that could be thrown my way and fully confident walking in. This is just one example highlighting Alan’s persistence, honesty, and attention to detail that make him such a valuable asset as a coach. I am ecstatic about getting accepted into my top choice business school, and very grateful for Alan’s direction that helped me get there.

I worked with Gina on my R1 application to HBS and Gina was integral to helping me shape my narrative on why MBA from the original exploration questionnaire to the final application. We went through a series of iterations and Gina was a great sounding board and editor to improve my application. She was also very helpful in writing my post interview reflection, giving feedback in a 24 hour timeframe. Couldn’t have done it without her!

I would NOT have gotten into Wharton without Sarah. She helped me refine my narrative and brand and did a great job tailoring my essays for Wharton. She was also just a joy to work with and made the full process (personal brand, the application, essay writing, interview prep) seamless and digestible.

Melanie was genuinely instrumental in helping me get to this point. Her push to clarify my story and understand what truly differentiates me as a candidate made a tremendous difference. I would definitely recommend Melanie to anyone applying to business school.

As a round 1 applicant, coming from an underrepresented industry (energy) who did not start even the GMAT before June, my timeline was tight. But I was fortunate enough to find Kristen, who guided me through all the steps necessary to find out who I REALLY am and how to present my best self in the applications. She is always there when I needed to meet. She recommends the best path based on her experience but is also respectful about my own decision on what content to include in the essays. When deadline approaches, sometimes we can get up to 10 essay drafts back and forth within the same day, perfecting all the word choices. Without her, I doubt I could get into HBS, Wharton and Sloan! It was a pleasure working with her!

Tim was everything I needed him to be and more! I couldn’t have done it without him. Tim was proactive and helpful for every step of the process and is worth at least double what you’d be paying him. Worth every penny, would recommend to anyone!

Caryn is amazing—a true game-changer! I truly believe I wouldn’t have gotten into CBS (my dream school) without her. As an international student from a family business background with a non-traditional profile, I knew I needed help and guidance with my application if I wanted any chance of standing out. She guided me through every step of the process—from refining my resume to preparing for interviews—and was incredibly supportive throughout. Even with a low GPA and average EA score, she believed in me and pushed me to think outside the box while staying true to my story. Caryn is straightforward, easy to work with, and gives clear, honest, and actionable feedback. I’d rate her 10,000/10 if I could—highly recommended to anyone applying to B-School!

Kim was an amazing consultant and her insights were incredibly useful for my MBA applications. I worked with Kim for 5 MBA applications and I wouldn’t have been able to deliver the same level of quality without her incredible support. Kim was always respectful and kind, providing reviews with quick turnarounds. I found her super helpful to get a better understanding of the application process, as well as the valuable advice on my resume and essays. It is clear that she is very knowledgeable in the space and this was evident in her feedback. I would definitely recommend anyone considering applying to MBA programs to work with Kim.

Working with Kristen was a game-changer in my MBA application process. Her personal branding exercises helped me clarify my story, and her essay feedback was sharp, honest, and always pushed me to go deeper. Kristen also ran incredibly effective mock interviews that made me feel confident and prepared going into the real thing. Thanks to her guidance, I felt focused and supported every step of the way — and I got into my top choice program. Highly recommend!

Not everyone needs a consultant for the admissions process, but for those who do – I had a great experience working with Kristen! She is so professional and realistic, but also empathetic and gets to know your story and goals on a personal level. Really a pleasure to work with someone as good at their job as Kristen!

Caryn was incredibly helpful as a thought partner to help tailor my essays for the programs I applied to, and helped me work through several iterations to get to an amazing final result (with super tight deadlines too!). I got into 3/4 of the schools I applied to, including HSW.

Narmeen was incredibly insightful and supportive throughout my MBA application process—she guided me in shaping a clear, cohesive personal narrative that reflected my unique background as a non-traditional MBA candidate. Her thoughtful advice and understanding of the admissions process played a key role in my receiving a full scholarship offer and enabling me to pivot from a non-business background. I appreciated her practical insights, steady support, and ability to keep the process focused and manageable while keeping me on track. Vantage Point’s wider team also provided significant resources and value in terms of additional reviews and specific insights.

I worked with Sacha on my MBA applications from start to finish, and found her support extremely valuable. I was essentially starting from a blank slate when it came to crafting my story, and Sacha helped me think through how to tie my experiences together cohesively and consistently pushed me to refine and improve the ideas I had. She also provided very thoughtful and value-adding feedback for all my essays throughout several iterations of my drafts. I felt very supported and grew in confidence throughout the application process thanks to Sacha, and I believe she played a huge role in my acceptances!

Working with Joy made all the difference in getting admitted to my top choice program, HBS! Though I had a tight timeline, Joy graciously worked with me to develop an R2 strategy and craft compelling essays I felt proud of. She maximized the value of our time together—with every essay turnaround, her insightful feedback helped me see my application in a new way and unlocked opportunities to create clarity. Beyond essay support, Joy’s coaching helped me prepare for HBS’s unique interview format by anticipating deep-dive areas. Her empathy and positive energy made the application process far less stressful. For anyone looking to put their best foot forward in their MBA application, I would highly recommend working with Joy and Vantage Point!

Working with Melanie was one of the most valuable parts of my MBA application journey. From day one, her expertise was obvious – she brought a clear, strategic approach to every part of the process, from school selection to essay writing to fine-tuning the smallest application details. I always felt supported.

Melanie has a professional background in management consulting, fashion, and entrepreneurship, which made her an ideal fit for me given my background and post-MBA goals. But beyond industry expertise, she consistently impressed me with how thoughtful, direct, and supportive she was throughout the process. She didn’t shy away from giving honest feedback (which I really appreciated), but she always delivered it with encouragement and a genuine desire to see me succeed.

Thanks to Melanie’s guidance, I was admitted to both of the MBA programs that I applied to. I highly recommend working with her to anyone navigating the MBA process!

Rachel was incredible to work with throughout the MBA application process. She gave very honest, constructive feedback, letting me know (gently!) when the communication of my ideas wasn’t as strong as it needed to be. She pushed me to dig deeper into my motivations for getting an MBA and refine my articulation of my short-term and long-term goals, which I referenced constantly throughout applications / interviews / alumni conversations as part of my personal brand. Her structured iterative process allowed me to put the concepts lingering at the back of my mind onto paper in a compelling way that would resonate with those reading my application.

Rachel also went above and beyond my expectations. When I didn’t feel confident in my “What matters most to you” essay topic for Stanford and decided to completely rewrite my application essays the night before the due date, she made time to provide some last minute feedback a few hours before the deadline — now I’ll be attending Stanford in the fall!

With Rachel’s help, I was accepted at all five M7 schools I applied to, including HBS & GSB, and received one partial ($80k) and one full merit-based scholarship. I couldn’t have produced the same level of application without Rachel’s honest guidance and feedback. I absolutely recommend working with her!

Kristen was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand my background and work experience, and skillfully helped me craft a compelling narrative that aligned with my future goals. Her talent for identifying common threads across my stories and refining language for clarity and impact was invaluable. From big-picture strategy to the smallest grammatical edits, Kristen was consistently thoughtful, responsive, and engaged every step of the way. I highly recommend working with her!

Working with Caryn was one of the most helpful parts of my MBA application process. From the start, she brought a unique balance of honesty, clarity, and kindness that made our collaboration incredibly productive. Her feedback was always direct and to the point, but never harsh—just the kind of constructive guidance I needed to improve and move forward with confidence.

Caryn had a clear, thoughtful approach to each step of the process, from school selection and developing my overall narrative to refining essays, reviewing my resume, and preparing for interviews. She didn’t try to mold my story into something it wasn’t—she helped me tell it in a way that felt true to who I am, while also resonating with what schools are looking for.

Her collaborative style made it feel like a true partnership. I never felt like I was being “coached” in a top-down way—more like we were working side by side to shape something I could be proud of. Her insights pushed my content further than I could have taken it on my own, but it always still felt like mine.

Caryn’s honest, kind, and actionable feedback helped me grow not just as an applicant, but as a communicator. I’m really glad I had her in my corner, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and effective admissions partner.

Caryn was extremely helpful throughout the MBA process in determining which schools to apply to, choosing the right standardized test, crafting my MBA story, and writing strong, authentic essays. Her feedback was always clear, specific, and helped me focus on the most important parts of my profile. I’d definitely recommend Caryn to anyone looking for support and guidance through the MBA journey!

Melanie was amazing to have during my whole MBA process! From reviewing my resume to make sure it was at quality for applications, to brainstorming essay ideas and editing/finalizing them and interview prep. The interview prep was extremely helpful and made me much more confident going into each interview. I don’t think I would have gotten the admits without her support! Fully reccomend if you are thinking about applying to MBA programs.

Anna was an invaluable resource during the MBA process. She did a great job at helping me refine my story and develop my brand. With Anna’s help, I got into HBS which was my top choice. I’m so grateful for all the help and resources I received from Vantage Point!

Melanie was great to work with! She had a lot of helpful tools that allowed me to easily think through my story / goals (which was very helpful when writing essays) and prep my recommenders adequately. She really helped me stay on track by clearly laying out the components of the application that I needed to complete and giving me a timeline but also being flexible enough to allow for my work and life schedule. She was also extremely responsive. Recommend working with her!

Melanie was very helpful throughout the entire process. Helping support all facets of the application process. Would recommend anyone looking for thoughtful and personalized assistance to Melanie.

I highly recommend working with Alan for anyone navigating the business school application process. Alan played a critical role in my acceptance to HBS — from refining my personal story to brainstorming essay topics to wordsmithing near-final drafts. Throughout the entirety of the admissions journey, his support was invaluable. Beyond his expertise in storytelling, Alan has a deep understanding of what admissions committees look for. His strategic insights and honest feedback helped me craft both an authentic and compelling application. If you’re looking for success in the business school application process, working with Alan is the best decision you can make!

Caryn was paramount in helping me create my brand. She was supportive throughout the process but pushed my thinking to ensure I could craft the best essays possible. Caryn was not afraid to challenge me when needed and would always come in handy with valuable and actionable feedback – she really knows what the AdCom wants and how each school is different. With her help I was able to get land 4 interviews out of the 5 programs I applied, gaining admission into 3 of them, including my dream school.

I worked with Kristen Lindeman in my R2 application and she was instrumental in me getting offers at Wharton and Sloan. She is so thoughtful and skillful at connecting the dots and was able to draw out the true common thread behind my stories. I would not have been to get my offers without Kristen.

Alan is a great consultant! He helped me throughout the whole application process and was very kind, available and helpful whenever I needed. English is not my first language, and I haven’t applied to a college in the US – so, Alan helped me understand all the nuances of the American application process, specifically to the M7 schools. He was very patient and open-minded while nudging me towards discovering what my story exactly is, and how to frame my experience in the best way possible. Moreover, Alan was very supportive when I was trying to manage the application process and very busy time at work, which made the whole process possible for me.
With his help I’ve applied to 5 M7 schools: accepted to HBS, Booth and Kellogg, and waitlisted at Wharton and Sloan. Alan played a key role in creating how to fit my history of working and living in multiple countries and unique and extensive personal experience into the essays with limited wording and application.
I’m really grateful I worked with Alan on my applications and really enjoyed our time together! Could not recommend more!

Sacha is the admissions consultant everyone dreams of in every sense! She was highly professional, made expectations of our engagement very clear, and was super supportive throughout our time together. While I knew I had compelling stories, she helped me narrow down which made the most sense for my applications and really pushed me to tie them together cohesively. I look back at my final essays and application and am so proud of the outcome, and Sacha played a huge role in making it happen!
I got into 3 of 4 schools I applied to and going to my dream school – Stanford GSB! Work with Sacha – your smiling self after likely getting into your dream school will thank you!

Working with Caryn made the overwhelming MBA application process so much more manageable. From start to finish, she was an incredible guide—helping me navigate programs, stay on top of deadlines, and most importantly, shape my story within the tight word limits of each essay. Her feedback was always thoughtful, strategic, and clear. I truly couldn’t have done it without her and would absolutely recommend Caryn to anyone applying to business school.

I had the privilege of working with Gina for 10 months from May of last year until March of this year where she truly supported me throughout the end-to-end MBA application journey – from thinking through which schools to apply to based on my profile and fit to very hands-on essay planning and editing. I cannot emphasize enough for anyone out there trying to take a leap into their next step professionally, Gina will help get you there. I want to write this review to share my story: I was planning on applying in round 1 where I had limited perspective on my ‘why MBA’, mediocre test scores, and very busy work schedule. She encouraged me to take a step back and think about what it is I’m looking to do in the future and really develop my personal brand, motives, and intentions for this pivotal step. I ended up not applying in round 1 because she helped me realize that I was not ready. I learned a lot from her guidance about self-reflection and thinking through which schools would interest me. December came around and I realized my ‘why MBA’ and which programs interested me. A week or two before deadlines, I reached back out to Gina and provided her with the 8 schools and dual programs I wanted to apply to. Despite her having vacation blocked out at the end of December, she was there for me every step of the way. I churned out over 20 essays where she promptly provided very actionable feedback and polished not just the language of my writing but the message I was trying to communicate as well. There were some “essays” that just consisted of bullet points and she provided feedback on the direction of the story and was very honest when it did not answer the full prompt. She also provided me with interview support and helped me navigate the common questions that are asked and helped me tailor my responses to the STAR format and within certain time limits. I am so grateful for her guidance and support and I ultimately gained admission to 6 of my 8 applications including programs such as GSB, Kellogg’s Triple M, and Wharton. I truly cannot emphasize this enough – everyone needs a Gina in their journey. She is thoughtful, kind, and incredibly sharp. 🙂

Working with Sacha at Vantage Point was the single most valuable part of my MBA application journey. What set Sacha apart was her ability to push me to dig deeper and uncover the narrative that was uniquely mine. From the beginning, Sacha helped me reflect on my experiences in a way I hadn’t before, connecting the dots between my values, motivations, and goals to create an authentic and cohesive application. She helped me elevate my essays by guiding me through tough introspective work which ultimately helped me tell a compelling story to the admissions committee. I felt like I had a partner who was invested in my success, not just in my applications but in my future career aspirations. I was ultimately admitted to Wharton, my top choice, and I credit much of that to Sacha’s guidance. If you’re looking for someone to push you beyond the surface and craft a story that is true to who you are, I couldn’t recommend Sacha more highly.
