Molly was incredible throughout my grad school application process! She really pushed me to think about why an MBA made sense for me and which schools were the right fit. She also helped me break down each essay in a way that made telling my story feel natural and authentic. What could have been a stressful process ended up feeling way more manageable—even enjoyable—thanks to her support!

Rachel was an incredible resource for me throughout my entire MBA application journey. I worked with Rachel over a ~3-month period, and from the beginning she was instrumental in developing my personal brand. I came into the MBA process with an idea of my personal brand, but with Rachel’s guidance I was able to uncover even deeper insights into who I am today and my future goals. Rachel helped me take the various facets about my past experiences, extracurriculars, and personal motivations and craft a cohesive narrative to build my application around. In turn, this made writing the essays and interview preparation much easier, as I had a strong, cohesive narrative to tie everything together.

Rachel played a critical role in my MBA application journey, from initial brand development to essay reviews and interview preparation. She was a key reason behind my acceptance to Wharton, and I would highly recommend her as a resource to anyone undergoing the MBA application process.

I’ll never forget how energized and inspired I felt after my first call with Melody. What had once seemed like an overwhelming process suddenly felt possible. I knew there would be challenges ahead, but I also knew I would not be facing them alone—she would be in my corner every step of the way, both a steady hand and a sage guide.
Even before you begin drafting essays, Melody and the Vantage Point process put you through various exercises that are critical in shaping a strong, cohesive application. The MBA resume, informational packages to recommenders, extracurricular recommendations, strengths and weaknesses analysis, school-specific guides, and even great book recommendations to promote introspection—every aspect is thoughtfully considered to ensure that your application presents a well-rounded and compelling portrait of who you are.
Working with Melody, I quickly realized she was more than just a consultant—she was a true partner and life coach. She inspired me to get more involved in extracurriculars, which have immense value in the application process and beyond. She had an uncanny ability to pinpoint the moments in my story that needed more depth or clarity and to help me articulate them in a way that felt both natural and powerful. The Vantage Point team does an excellent job analyzing essay topics to ensure you answer the question, but they do not impose a formulaic approach. Instead, Melody worked with me to craft essays that were uniquely mine. When I struggled to put certain ideas into words, she asked the right questions, offering thoughtful feedback that pushed me to refine my thinking without ever making it feel like the essays were being written for me. She did not just offer generic advice—she challenged me to think more deeply and refine my responses, ensuring they were both compelling and showcased the parts of my journey that would resonate most with admissions committees.
Beyond the essays, Melody’s strategic guidance was invaluable. She helped me refine my resume to highlight leadership, impact, and growth rather than just listing responsibilities. Her thoughtful guidance on how to approach my recommenders, ensured they could effectively showcase my strengths. She also motivated me to continue the testing process, recommending a tutor who ultimately helped me achieve a 99th percentile score—something that significantly strengthened my application. Together, we perfected my application forms and ensured that every piece—recommendations, resume, short answers—fit together seamlessly. And when interview season arrived, she made sure I was not only prepared to answer questions but also confident in how I presented myself. Her ability to anticipate challenges and think several steps ahead made a huge difference, helping me avoid common pitfalls.
The MBA application journey is an emotional rollercoaster with inevitable highs and lows. But no matter what stage I was at—whether it was the first draft of an essay, the final moments before submitting an application, or after being rejected from a school—she was always there to offer reassurance and motivation. Melody helped me better understand who I am, what drives me, and the impact I want to make. Working with Melody was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my career, and I wholeheartedly recommend her and the Vantage Point Team to anyone seeking a dedicated, insightful, and incredibly skilled admissions consultant.

Working with Kristen was an absolute game changer in my MBA application process. I went into it with a lot of imposter syndrome and uncertainty, but Kristen’s support and expertise made the entire process much easier and far less stressful. Her guidance helped me craft strong applications that truly highlighted my unique stories, which ultimately led to 3 acceptances (including two M7s) with scholarships ranging from $60K to $150K!

Kristen came highly recommended by a coworker, and I completely agree—she is an incredibly responsive and hardworking consultant. What sets her apart is her ability to really work with you to pull out the key elements of your story. While there’s a ton of free information out there, it was her approach to brainstorming and refining those stories that made my essays stand out. She also challenged me to dig deeper and be authentic in my storytelling, which I believe played a huge role in securing my scholarships.

Despite juggling work and multiple applications, Kristen made everything manageable. She was incredibly responsive, provided detailed feedback, and was always available to brainstorm ideas. Beyond being a consultant, she was a true cheerleader, offering unwavering support whenever self-doubt crept in.

I also learned a lot from Kristen about marketing myself and my experiences, and even negotiating—skills I hadn’t anticipated picking up. She always took the time to explain her reasoning behind her suggestions, which I found to be both educational and insightful.

Overall, I couldn’t have done this process without Kristen. Her guidance, expertise, and support were absolutely essential, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything she helped me achieve.

I can’t recommend Gina enough for anyone navigating the business school application process. She helped me hone my unique personal brand and clarify why I wanted to pursue an MBA, making my application truly stand out from the crowd. Her feedback on my essays was always very actionable, offering just the right amount of distance I needed to refine my writing. Even as deadlines grew tight, Gina remained incredibly responsive and committed, providing support when I needed it most. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to craft a compelling application, ultimately gaining admission to both Stanford and Wharton. I cannot recommend working with Gina enough!

Kristen truly helped me uncover my deeper ‘WHY,’ enabling me to articulate my motivations and goals with clarity. She brought structure to my story, weaving my experiences and aspirations into a compelling and coherent narrative. Her guidance was invaluable in showcasing my unique journey authentically and impactfully

I worked with Rachel on r1 MBA applications. Received acceptances to 1 t7 and 1 t15 school with $$$! Highly recommend working with her on your MBA journey as she keeps you on track and organized, is highly knowledgeable and super supportive.

Working full-time while juggling the demands of the MBA application seemed like an overwhelming task at first. However, Kristen made everything structured and seamless, guiding me step-by-step through the entire process. From exploring my personal brand and narrowing down my career aspirations to selecting the right schools and fine-tuning my resume, she was there every step of the way. Her background in admissions at MIT Sloan gave her a unique perspective on what the adcoms are looking for, and her insights were invaluable in helping me position myself effectively. We worked together on brainstorming and polishing my essays, and she was always quick to offer suggestions that improved both the content and the clarity of my stories.

Thanks to her support, I was fortunate enough to receive offers from two M7 schools, and I truly believe that her guidance played a key role in my success. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an MBA consultant who offers not only expertise but also a personalized approach that puts the candidate’s best interests first.

Caryn Levine and the wider Vantage Point team were valuable thought partners throughout my MBA application process. From discussing tactical details such as resume formatting to working through broad strategic questions such as my goals and story, I found Caryn’s advice and feedback to be honest and actionable. Caryn was professional, responsive, and flexible in where we would focus our time; I felt we could collaborate on the application items to prioritize. I would recommend working with Caryn to applicants at any stage in their journey – whether you need a quick essay review, a mock interview, or a comprehensive application evaluation. Thanks to Caryn’s help, I was able to secure an admit to multiple top schools, including an M7.

Working with Shammi was a great experience. She has a knack for asking the right questions, which helped me refine and evolve my story. Shammi guided me in shaping my application into a cohesive and compelling narrative. Her feedback was always tactical, clear, and actionable, making it easy to implement improvements quickly.

Thanks to her support, I was accepted to Wharton!!

I often joke with Caryn that she was my part-time therapist throughout the MBA application process. From day one, she was more than just a consultant—she was a mentor, cheerleader, and grounding presence during what can be an incredibly stressful time. As someone who dealt with a lot of self-doubt along the way, Caryn was absolutely crucial in helping me see my own value and potential.

Caryn has a remarkable gift for bringing clarity to chaos. She didn’t just help me organize my thoughts; she helped me truly understand and embrace my story. Her ability to uncover the essence of my experiences and weave them into a cohesive and compelling narrative was nothing short of transformative.

What makes Caryn so special is her combination of warmth, honesty, and unshakable belief in her clients. She didn’t hesitate to give me the constructive feedback I needed to hear, but she always delivered it in a way that felt supportive and empowering. I truly could not have done this without her. If you’re looking for someone who not only understands the MBA world inside and out but also genuinely cares about helping you succeed, Caryn is the person you want by your side.

Navigating the MBA application process can feel overwhelming, especially with the endless online forums dissecting everyone’s chances. Kristin Lindeman cut through all that noise and gave me the clarity and confidence I needed to pursue my dream school, MIT Sloan. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of focus and encouragement that transformed what felt like an intimidating journey into a manageable and even empowering experience.

What truly sets Kristin apart is her ability to uncover the extraordinary in the everyday. I often dismissed my stories as too “normal” or unremarkable, but Kristin saw their potential and helped me reframe them in ways that felt both powerful and authentic. She didn’t just help me articulate my experiences; she brought them to life with depth and nuance, showing me how to present my journey in a way that was compelling and true to who I am.

I can’t thank Kristin enough for her insight, patience, and belief in my potential. Working with her was an absolute privilege, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a supportive, thought partner in the MBA application process.

Rashi helped me take a jumble of thoughts into a clear message for my business school applications. Before I even looked at an essay prompt, Rashi helped me define my business school “why”. Why I wanted to go to business school, why now was the right time for me, why certain schools were the right fit for me, and why I would contribute to the school. Getting this set up front helped me to become much more clear and intentional in my applications, which was something I did not have in mind without Rashi. I had a mess of ideas that I was ready to throw into essays, but working with Rashi helped me paint a much crisper and more compelling story to the ADCOMs. From upfront storylining to essays to interview prep, Rashi guided me through every step of the process and ensured I was putting my best foot forward.

I fully believe Rashi’s support is the reason I created the compelling applications that I did – which the results show. I was accepted to all 6 schools that I applied to and plan to attend HBS in Fall 2025. I could not recommend working with Rashi more – she helped me take my applications to the next level, which I think was the difference in earning me acceptances to the schools.

Caryn was a fantastic resource throughout my application process. I come from a nontraditional background and knew that seeking the help of an admissions consultant was likely the best way for me to craft the best applications possible. Caryn deeply understands the application process and was instrumental in helping me put my best foot forward. She was especially helpful in helping me craft and refine essays, and prepare for interviews. Caryn was also very helpful in helping me navigate The Consortium application. With Caryn’s help, I was accepted to one of my top programs and received a Full-Fee Consortium Fellowship! I am very thankful for all that Caryn did to help me accomplish these feats.

Working with Malvika on my MBA applications was game changing! Especially having worked for almost 4 years now, it is very challenging to truly bring out your story in a compelling and authentic way. Malvika’s feedback on my essays were invaluable and landed me a spot at HBS! I am very thankful to have had Malvika’s and the Vantage Point team’s support.

Alan is amazing! I was going through a busy period at work and was incredibly stressed about completing my MBA applications, but Alan was so helpful and supportive. He took my ideas and helped me develop a compelling MBA narrative, providing invaluable insights into what each program wanted. His guidance and advice made the entire MBA process so much smoother than it would have been otherwise. I can’t thank Alan enough for his help! I was thrilled with my application and story. I’ll be attending Wharton next fall, and I am so grateful to Alan for his support in getting me there!

Melanie is such an amazing consultant. I definitely would not have gotten the admits I got without her help. She was so helpful from beginning to end. From helping me clean up my resume, to essay writing, and interview prep. She really pushed me that extra step to get clarity and the most value out of my story and essays for the applications. Interview prep was also crucial and so helpful, I really saw a difference in my interview skills after a few prep sessions with Melanie. I have already recommended her to friends!

I worked with Gina on R1 applications to HBS, GSB, and the Lauder program at Wharton. I’m happy to share that I was accepted to 2 of the 3 programs!

Gina was an incredible partner throughout the entire process. Early on, she took the time to truly get to know me – she asked very thoughtful questions that allowed me to uncover insights about myself and shape compelling essay topics. Her thought partnership, candid feedback on my resume and essay iterations, and her interview preparation sessions, were invaluable.

I’m grateful to have had Gina as my coach during this journey and would highly recommend working with her. I truly could not have done this without her guidance and support!

I worked with Kristen for my MBA applications, and I felt she went above and beyond for me. She was a great balance of pushing me to do my best, while also providing me with compassionate feedback and understanding through a very pressured admissions cycle. She defines her superpower as being able to pull out important elements of her clients’ stories and help form a compelling narrative, and I can honestly say this is 100% spot on. I couldn’t be more grateful for her and Melody/Vantage Point, and I got into top schools that I am so excited to attend! Thank you!

Melanie was very valuable when I was going through the application process. She provided useful insight and guidance when starting the journey, and then engaged at regular intervals to provide feedback and input as I progressed forward. Without Melanie’s help, this process would have been much more intimidating and stressful. Thank you, Melanie!

Melanie was incredibly helpful throughout my MBA application process. I decided to apply to round 1 a bit late in the game, but Melanie was very supportive in helping me build out my story. As I was pretty crunched on time, she was helpful in prioritizing my focus. Her feedback across my essays and resume was incredibly helpful and pointed, which made it very clear on next steps. Would recommend her to anyone looking to apply!

Melody played a crucial role in my success applying to business school. Before partnering with her, my narrative was fragmented, and my career goals were unclear. Through our work together, I was able to refine my value proposition and future objectives, crafting a compelling story. Her insightful feedback on my essays and interview preparation ensured I stayed on track and gave me the confidence to present myself in the best possible light. Thanks to Melody’s unwavering support, I was accepted into one M7 and a T15 with a significant scholarship. I couldn’t have navigated this process without her guidance!

Molly is a standout consultant who assisted me with my application process. She was incredibly responsive, pushed me to think bigger, and really built my confidence in the application process where I felt down. Her essay edits were spot on, and I was just so thankful to have her guidance. Couldn’t have done it without you!

Kristen was an incredible support throughout my MBA application process. She played a crucial role in helping me build my story and explore my personal brand, offering truly personalized advice that felt tailored to my unique situation. Her guidance was instrumental in crafting compelling essays that highlighted the stronger parts of my application while effectively addressing any weak spots.

Kristen was always professional, honest, and supportive, with quick turnaround times, insightful feedback, and a willingness to meet whenever needed. Her support was key to helping me secure an offer at my top-choice MBA program, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

Caryn was great to work with in allowing me to better understand my story and how to frame it to fit the different questions. With her assistance, I got into 3 M7 MBA programs.

I am thrilled to share that I just received a full-tuition scholarship at my top business school and will be attending! Narmeen and the Vantage Point team were instrumental in this process. From their expert guidance to unwavering support, they helped me put my best foot forward. I’ve already started recommending them to others and couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you again for all your help!

I had the privilege of working with Shammi, and it was truly an inspirational experience. She took the time to dive deep—getting to know me as a person, understanding my passions, motivations, and helping me translate that authentic energy into my MBA essays.

Her approach was incredibly personalized, and her exceptional knowledge of what each school looks for allowed me to make those pivotal tweaks that made all the difference. As a result, I was admitted to 4 out of the 6 schools I applied to, with scholarships!

Beyond the outcomes, this process gave me a deeper understanding of who I am, what I stand for, and how I want to shape the next two years of my MBA journey. I can’t recommend Vantage Point enough!

Gina is amazing at what she does! She coaches you, not only to help you find your story, but to take a step back and reflect on what you aim to achieve in your career and how an MBA can help you get there! Gina helped me define my story and was an amazing thought partner on essays – she gave honest and detailed feedback in every iteration. She also kindly gave me guidance before my interview. Thanks to her help, I got into an M7 school with a very generous merit scholarship!

Joy’s HBS Review product, through Vantage Point, helped me tailor and get my essays over the finish line from an AdCom lens. While I worked with another consultant for most of the application process, her granular, tactical, and fully-explained feedback made a huge difference for me. Her insights went far beyond surface-level suggestions; she delivered a comprehensive, three-page PDF with detailed, paragraph-style feedback that looked across my essays to understand if the full picture represented me. She also reviewed a PDF of my full application mock, including short answer questions. Every comment was thoughtfully contextualized, helping me understand exactly how my writing might resonate with a first-time reader or the admissions committee.

I used her feedback document as my final edits guide, and color-coded it to organize the action items. She was clear about necessary vs. optional changes and the tradeoffs between different paths. It was very easy to implement her feedback, and she worked with me on a quick timeline in the last week before essay submission.

In my actual interview, my future plans were barely asked about – a testament to how well my essays captured and clarified my story. It was clear to me that the essays had left no lingering doubts or unanswered questions about my goals or motivations.

Though I worked with Joy specifically for the final stages of my application review, her expertise and professionalism are so exceptional that I would recommend her for the full lifecycle of MBA consulting. I think in total I used 10 hours with Vantage Point, plus this review, to get into two top schools – and the thought partnership (for someone with very little free time) was top-notch.

Tim was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He always went above and beyond to support me by making himself available when I needed him and providing specific, tactical feedback/advice to refine my application materials. If he didn’t have an answer to one of my questions (which wasn’t often), he was humble enough to leverage the experience of the Vantage Point team. Furthermore, he is very personable, reliable, and trustworthy. Thanks to Tim I was accepted to HBS, among other top schools. I could not have done it without him!

Switching to Melody/ Vantage Point midway through my MBA application process was a game-changing decision. After landing on the waitlist for both HBS and MIT Sloan with another advisor, I realized I needed someone with deeper insights and experience. Melody exceeded all expectations. Some highlights I want to share:

1. Super rich experience and insights about the top MBA programs: Melody has the deepest knowledge and insights among all the of MBA advisors i’ve talked to – details on what traits specific schools look for, examples of past successful turnarounds, what realy makes a difference etc.. Her ongoing connections with students across various MBA programs also provided me up-to-date experiences from the campuses themselves.

2. Exceptional Storytelling: As a consultant, I thought my storylining skills are already quite good. But Melody can always lift my essays to the next level. She can pinpoint the most distinctive highlights of my story, and ask the right questions that pushed me to think more deeply. The depth and authenticity of my final essays could not have been achieved without our extensive discussions and her guidance.

3. Continuous emotional Support: The most invaluable aspect of working with Melody was the emotional support she provided during the exhausting application process. Applying for an MBA was quite a tough experience for me as I don’t really have anyone to share or talk about it, and need to manage my demanding job at the same time. But Melody was always there to celebrate every win and energize me when I needed it most. I can feel that she truly wants me to succeed and wants to help as much as she could.

Choosing Melody/ Vantage Point was one of the best decisions I made on my MBA journey. And she helped me get off the waitlist with MIT Sloan. Her expertise and heartfelt support were instrumental in navigating the complexities of MBA applications. I couldn’t have asked for a better coach.

She was super responsive, very professional, and was always really insightful. The suggestions she provided in my application went well beyond internet sources and other consultants I have worked with. I found it especially helpful how she patiently and thoughtfully crafted a personalized essay narrative with me, capturing the various career changes I had during the last couple years. Vantage Point’s MBA resources were also invaluable.

With her support, I gained admission to the HBS 2+2 program and the Stanford GSB Deferred Admissions program. I cannot recommend her and the Vantage Point team highly enough!

I had spent 3-4 years waffling about how I wanted to get an MBA, but had been procrastinating because the process felt too overwhelming to start. But through a recommendation from a family member, I found Katie.

Katie listened to me and broke the application process down until we had a plan that felt doable. Then, halfway through executing that plan, I had a family emergency and I called her about to quit everything.

In that moment, she helped me to adapt my plan again to make sure I got my application in, adjusting and cutting and reprioritizing to make sure we were still able to reach our deadlines in spite of my unexpected decrease in availability & time to devote to the application. I still wound up admitted to the school that I had been hoping for at the start.

Katie does an incredible job not just in the part of the job description around making sure that your application looks good and tells your best story (which she absolutely rocks), but also in connecting as a coach & teammate, helping you to figure out how best to manage your own resources and priorities to make the best of your application.

I am sure that without her I would still be planning on applying for an MBA someday, instead of an admit getting ready to head to B-school this fall. I am so happy I found her and have already recommended her to several of my other family members & friends as well.

I worked with Alan directly for months discussing my story and vision for the future. Alan helped frame ways for me to brainstorm where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, and he then was my main point of contact for shaping how I tell my story. We iterated on my essays countless times, and I’m incredibly proud of how well the overall story and application turned out, particularly because of Alan. He’s a great coach who will listen when he needs to and provide input where necessary, and I can’t recommend his services enough.

Gina was extremely helpful throughout the application process and instrumental in my admissions success! She was particularly great at helping me determine my “why MBA” answer and I found her thought provoking questions during brainstorming sessions to be a highlight of working together. Another highlight was her detailed and blunt feedback on my resume and essays, which significantly improved my drafts between feedback sessions. I was admitted to multiple M7s with Gina’s help and would recommend her to anyone.

Narmeen was very helpful about how to strategize my application based on my work experience, strengths and weaknesses, and career goals. She helped me craft my narrative in an efficient and clear way. She was also extremely helpful with editing my resume (which needed a lot of work).
I think Narmeen’s most valuable service was our mock interviews – she really had a great perspective on the mindset of the interviewer, which I believe was one of the biggest reasons I was able to get into my top choice program.

Melanie is a phenomenal consultant. She provided direction and focus to my application, gave fantastic feedback, and challenged me to go deeper on my goals and motivations which resulted in a super positive outcome – I got accepted into Columbia. I’d applied to CBS pretty late in the cycle and Melanie was able to jump in and help despite the quick turnaround. Melanie, being an alum herself, provided great insights on what CBS looks for and helped sharpen and polish my application to perfection. She is always available to answer questions and is 100% committed! Highly recommend!

Knowing that MIT Sloan was my top choice, I went for Kristen right away as she has the right experience and deep understanding of how Sloan works. Throughout this journey, Kristen has provided incredible feedback on my school selection, branding statement, essays, etc. What I like the most about Kristen is that she provides candid and constructive feedback. This allowed me to think twice on how I position myself in this competitive application process, how I tweak my essays to stand out, etc. I’d highly recommend Kristen if you’re looking for someone to provide constructive, objective, and honest feedback for your applications to those M7 schools.

I worked with Gina Chen at Vantage Point MBA during R2 applications after an unsuccessful self-attempt of R1. I had several challenges to overcome (low GRE score, low undergraduate GPA, unclear story, etc.), along with an extremely tight timeline.

After being matched with Gina, she quickly developed a clear plan of attack, and we worked countless hours to refine my “Why MBA” and develop my personal brand. She remained with me throughout the entire application, interview, and waitlist process. I credit much of my success to Gina.

I was accepted to my top Ivy League MBA program with a generous merit scholarship, and ultimately decided to accept a full-tuition Consortium fellowship offer at a T25.

Caryn was a fantastic consultant to work with throughout the application process. She is extremely thoughtful in getting to know her clients, which makes her application feedback all the more personalized and actionable. My MBA “pitch” and essay themes were so much clearer after her thoughtful input, and I know my recommenders appreciated her feedback as well. Would 10/10 recommend Caryn to any of my friends applying to B-school!

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Melanie on my MBA and master degree application. I started with only one program in a specialized master degree but decided to add a MBA about 2 weeks before the deadline. Even though the ddl was super tight, Melanie was able to help submit the application in time and i got an offer from both programs. She is extremely organized and will help push you to submit the best application.

Kristen provided incredible support for my MBA journey, especially navigating the inner workings of MIT Sloan as it was my top choice. I was initially working with another MBA consultant and switched to Kristen and couldn’t have been happier that I did. Her input was highly specific and tailored to my situation – helping me to land acceptances at all of my top choice programs.

In a process that makes you at times feel very stressed, Alan was a constant source of calm and rational perspective. He consistently helped me understand the level of depth and detail I needed to get to to truly demonstrate my accomplishments and made certain that we were not leaving anything on the table. With Alan’s help I was able to get into HBS, a school I never really thought I had a chance at. Alan makes sure to make you feel like his most important client and always gives an honest opinion. Could not recommend more, especially if you are a person who underplays their accomplishments!

If I could give a review above 5 stars, I would! After working with a consultant before Kristen and not having a good experience, I was nervous about hiring another one. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting with Kristen, I knew I had nothing to worry about.

Kristen is the most responsive, involved, and attention-to-detail consultant you could ask for. Kristen went above and beyond with her commitment to helping me with my applications and worries, far beyond any other consultant I’ve heard about from my peers and my own experience.

From the get-go, Kristen allowed me to set expectations of how I would need her help, and she worked tirelessly to exceed those. I met with Kristen once a week, sometimes more than that, to walk through my progress on brainstorming, essays, video responses, and other elements of my applications. She helped me create a detailed plan for each essay to make sure it flowed correctly and highlighted all the best aspects of my application.

We were in constant contact over email, having email chains for each school with over 100 emails a thread! Kristen turned drafts like a champ every couple of days (sometimes more than once a day!), each with thoughtful feedback and guidance on how I might streamline an idea or add something new she or I thought of. When I got stuck or had writer’s block, Kristen always made time to brainstorm and inspire me, making the writing process fun!

She worked one-on-one with my recommenders to provide feedback on their letters. Even though they have written multiple grad school recommendations over the years, my recommenders highlighted how Kristen’s feedback was thoughtful and concise, giving them tips and tricks on improving my recommendations and others moving forward.

Kristen made the whole thing seamless. I loved every second of my application process, and that is in large part due to her. She is a total rockstar, and anyone would be crazy not to hire her! Don’t look further!

I’m heading to my top M7 choice in the fall and could not be more thankful I had Kristen to guide me throughout the process! She is AWESOME!!

Caryn was incredibly helpful throughout the application process. She was super flexible and tailored the experience to fit my needs and timeline. She was quick and thorough when reviewing my work and always gave very thoughtful comments and recommendations, not only on the wording but also on crafting the actual story. I ended up getting accepted into my top program, and I don’t think I could have done it without all her help!

I worked with Molly for my second-round applications to HBS, GSB, and Wharton, and I’m excited to share that I got into two of the three schools! From start to finish, Molly’s guidance was incredibly valuable. Coming from a consulting background, I knew that having a unique and authentic story would be crucial. Molly’s in-depth questions and honest feedback were instrumental as I fine-tuned my narrative. When it came to writing my essays, her precise and insightful suggestions made a real difference. I highly recommend working with Molly!

Gina is excellent – I applied R2 this admissions cycle and worked with Gina on all my applications. She’s great at helping applicants identify their “why MBA” and how to craft a compelling narrative. What sets Gina apart is that she’s a great listener who can help you weave multiple facets of your life into a holistic story that resonates with admissions officers.

Gina is also incredibly flexible. I worked with her the last week of December and she always made time to respond to my emails and provide feedback on my essays, despite it being around the holidays. As other reviewers have mentioned, she doesn’t sugar coat her feedback, which results in significant improvements with each iteration of your essays. I can look back and say that without Gina’s help, I wouldn’t have been admitted to my top school choices! Thank you Gina for all that you do.

Melody is an excellent resource for all MBA applicants regardless where they are in the process. I reached out to Melody after having been accepted into one of my target 2-year programs and unexpectedly accepted into a 1-year program. Although we had not worked together throughout my application process Melody was able to provide me with the insights and considerations that I needed to make an informed decision between programs. She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to directly answer my questions while considering my specific decision factors. Melody provided me exactly what I needed to make the best decision with unexpected options and significant time pressure. I would highly recommend her to all MBA applicants!

Kristen was an incredible resource from beginning to end in this MBA application journey, which ultimately ended in 3/3 acceptances to M7 schools. I can say without a doubt that I don’t know if I would have achieved these outcomes without her, for a few reasons in particular. First, Kristen did not shy away from giving her honest and well-informed opinion – even when it was sometimes difficult to hear, it was always with the intention to help me show my best self in my application. In my case, this began with Kristen’s advice to wait until Round 2 so I had time to re-write my GMAT and hopefully get a more competitive score. It turns out that this additional time allowed me to additionally complete invaluable reflections on where I wanted to apply and what I wanted to gain from my MBA, which I know enhanced my essays and allowed me to show up with strong conviction during my interviews.

When it came to defining my personal brand, story and crafting my essays, Kristen was a strong partner in bringing together what I originally saw as distinct unrelated elements of who I am and what I have done. Kristen played a pivotal role in helping me create a clear, cohesive and compelling story that most importantly was genuine and authentic to me. Overall, I leave this experience with noting but positive things to say about the support and partnership I received from Kristen throughout the last year.
