  • Friendly, Honest & Clear!
    3 weeks ago
    Alterell helped me build confidence around my application and acted as a trusted partner for my application. What I liked most about working with him was that he was a safe space to share my concerns and always left pumped up after our call. He was also very honest; but always kept my morale high during the process. I got into HBS!! Thank you!!!

    Alterrell is a great coach for enhancing the depth and impact of an applicant's profile. He had a great ability to guide me through moments of stagnation and helped unearth profound meaning from seemingly mundane situations. With his assistance, I was able to articulate my thoughts with clarity and purpose. I recommend Alterrell for anyone needing to refine their story to transcend surface-level narratives for maximum impact.

  • Direct Feedback & Thoughtful Storyteller
    7 months ago
    Alterrell was critical in taking my MBA essays to the next level. While I knew why I wanted to go to business school, Alterrell helped me translate my experience and thoughts into a cohesive narrative. He not only edited he also pushed me to see my essays through the eyes of an admissions department, which ultimately helped me land at my dream school: Stanford GSB. Alterrell will ask the right questions and provide the critical feedback to ensure your application reflects depth, drive, and the personal touch needed to stand out from other applicants.
