  • So Helpful!

    Emily did an amazing job throughout the application process, from helping me select which schools were a good fit for my goals, to tailoring my resume and helping me tell my military experiences through essays she offered great advice every step of the way. She not only helped me earn admission to multiple schools, but also helped me earn a scholarship to one of my top choices. I would recommend Emily to any veteran going through the MBA Application process.

  • Three M7 Acceptances!
    2 months ago
    The night prior to submitting my application to Harvard Business School, Emily texted me, expressing, "I believe we need to tweak a section of your essay—it lacks the compelling edge." We promptly scheduled a call, collaboratively fine-tuning the content. Four months later, I was accepted to Harvard Business School. This instance exemplifies her unwavering commitment to the success of her clients. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Emily for her unwavering support and expertise throughout my MBA application journey. Emily's ability to provide the tools for success and mentorship was instrumental. Emily guided me with precision and her insights on highlighting my experiences resonated with admissions committees, leading to acceptances at Harvard Business School, Kellogg, and Booth. What sets Emily apart is her commitment ...

  • Extremely Helpful
    9 months ago
    Emily frankly gave me the tools to succeed and the mentorship to execute in a very tight timeline. I started my transition/decided to pursue an MBA in R3 this year - having not taken/studied for any standardized test. Emily gave me a clear picture of how I could highlight my experiences in a way that would resonate with the admissions committees. She provided guidance throughout the application process and quickly responded to my questions. Despite my late start, R3/R4 applications, and below-average test scores, I was admitted to Fuqua, Stern, and Ross. I would not have been able to do this without Emily's help.

  • Thank You, Emily!
    10 months ago
    Quite frankly, I cannot praise Emily's guidance, support and patience enough. I needed an expert to provide the resources and feedback for applying to top MBA programs and Emily delivered on every front. From helping me translate my unique military experience into a quality resume, to developing my overall personal narrative, and countless essay revisions, Emily provided me all the tools that I needed to apply to top MBA programs. I also am so thankful for the support and encouragement that she gave me while I was working on raising my test scores, which gave me the confidence I needed to apply to my dream schools. No other resource I utilized (MBA Veteran's clubs, Service2School, etc.) provided anywhere close to the same level of promptness ...

  • An ABSOLUTE MUST For Military Applicants!
    12 months ago
    Emily was crucial for my application success this cycle! With a below-average GPA and GRE score, I was nervous that I wouldn't have much success this applicant cycle, but Emily helped me craft my story, provided invaluable advice, and translated my military experience! Emily was the best coach, guide, and mentor for me as I navigated the difficult MBA application process. The results speak for themselves! I was accepted into Darden, Fuqua, Tuck, and my dream school, MIT Sloan! These results were way beyond my expectations, and I cannot recommend Emily enough. If you're a transitioning veteran applying to MBA programs, Military MBA Consulting is THE way to go!

  • Extraordinary Mentorship And An Amazing Resource
    2 years ago
    Although I was initially hesitant about the idea of using a consultant for my Navy-to-MBA transition process, I have no doubt that I wouldn't have gotten into my top choice MBA program without Emily's deep insight of the process and patient guidance from start to finish. Emily positively impacted every single portion of my application process - identifying great-fit schools I hadn't even considered applying to, helping me craft essays that were reflections of my most genuine self, and executing well-prepared interviews. She was a pleasure to work with, and the process left me not only headed to my top choice program with a clear understanding of what I wanted to get out of it, but with a better understanding of who I was as ...

  • Emily Is AMAZING!

    I’m so incredibly grateful for Emily and her support throughout my application and acceptance in R3 to one of my top choice MBA programs! Emily was able to truly recognize how I could use my 10 years of military experience to craft my story for my application. I was on a condensed timeline due to a last-minute decision that an MBA was right for me as I decided to transition out of the military. Emily quickly responded to all of my questions and gave me excellent feedback. She found a way for me to dig deeper in each of my essays and short answers to highlight how I was ready to take on the challenges of business school. She was encouraging throughout the whole process ...

    Emily was quite simply amazing. From our initial phone conversation I could tell that she would not only provide me guidance on my application but also be my Sherpa through a difficult transition from the military. Her attention to detail, extensive knowledge of the MBA admissions process, and willingness to challenge me during my application process made all the difference.

  • Demystify & De-Stress Your Application Process
    2 years ago
    Transitioning from the military is tough but making your experiences relatable to academics is even tougher. Emily's no BS approach helped me identify and articulate how my experiences "fit" various MBA programs. She's very supportive, timely, and organized. I could not have asked for a better person to walk through the application process with and I'm thankful for her help.

  • Emily Helps You Find Your Story!
    2 years ago
    Emily was a tremendous resource during my application process. We began working 6 months before I submitted my apps. Her thought-provoking starter documents about your background and experiences were a great starting point. She provides honest and candid feedback on potential weaknesses in your application and more than anything helps you properly tell your story with each and every part of the application. Her knowledge of what some schools value more than others is finely tuned, and she helps you determine which schools you think maybe a good fit for you. Her encouragement throughout the process was so helpful and makes an incredibly vulnerable process for the applicant seem much more comfortable. I would highly recommend you reach out to her for assistance!

  • OUTSTANDING Consultant & Mentor
    2 years ago
    Emily is an absolute professional of her craft. Every correspondence I had with Emily ended with actionable tasks or alternative outlooks that made the application process less overwhelming and much easier to manage. A tested, well-resourced consultant with deep industry knowledge and relationships, Emily’s cradle-to-grave approach instilled in me the confidence and competence of a high-quality deliverable. Her responsiveness, candor, and keen eye for the many subtle nuances of top MBA programs created a dynamic, iterative, and eye-opening learning experience for me. From day one, Emily made it clear that I was in control of every aspect of the application. She stressed the importance of being genuine and how she would not think, write, or say anything for me. Emily held me accountable for my ...

  • Emily Is The BEST!
    2 years ago
    After a friend told me about Emily, I immediately got in touch with her. I knew that I needed her to guide me through the entire process. Not only did she help me navigate the application process, but she also helped me select the right test to ensure I would have a competitive application and find the right b-school. It is clear that she is the best coach out there and understands the intricacies involved with each MBA program. In addition, because she has worked with many veterans, she made it easy to translate my military experience into my civilian resume. With Emily's guidance, I was accepted into all six MBA programs I applied to, two of which were top 10! I cannot thank her ...

  • Amazing MBA Consultant For Veterans
    2 years ago
    As a transitioning military applicant, I was initially unsure about where I stacked up amongst my peers when applying to top MBA programs. I wasn't even sure how to even begin the process of applying. Emily guided me every step of the way, from targeting attainable schools to crafting and refining personal statements, to honing my interview skills. Emily was truly instrumental in providing a resource to bounce ideas off of and she made herself available whenever I needed help. Her accessibility, expertise, and patience were all greatly appreciated. I am certain that without her guidance and support I would not have been accepted to several of the top-25 MBA programs I applied to. As a veteran, if getting an MBA from a top program ...

    As a military applicant, Emily expertly guided me through the entire MBA admissions process, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From talking through initial separation options to deciding between multiple admissions offers, Emily helped me at every step along the way. She truly partnered with me to identify target schools, craft my story, firmly develop goals, and rigorously prepare for interviews. She found ways to help me translate and describe my military experiences, ultimately crafting the strongest application possible. With Emily's guidance, I was admitted to 5 of the top 10 US MBA programs - a result well beyond my expectations which I attribute wholeheartedly to her expertise.

  • Doing Things Right The First Time
    2 years ago
    I wish I would have been recommended to Emily on my first MBA application journey in R2 2020, instead I applied solo and was put on the waitlist for all schools that I applied to which eventually tuned into non-admits. Then in summer of 2021, as I was gearing up to apply again to EA, I met Emily and everything changed. Before doing any writing, she helped me brainstorm and build a far more comprehensive approach to my application strategy which literally changed everything. Through thoughtful and thorough brainstorming exercises, Emily pushed me to tap into and reflect on some of the most difficult aspects of my upbringing and life story, ones that I would have never thought of on my own or view as ...

  • Incredible Coach & Advisor, Especially For Military
    2 years ago
    Emily was instrumental in me gaining admission to the Harvard Business School. She has a vast amount of knowledge about the process, understands how to bring out the best of every candidate, and had very competitive pricing with tremendous value. I was a transitioning Naval Officer with a lower GMAT and she helped me gain admission to 4 of the top 10 schools and provide a very effective blueprint for the entire process. I have recommended her to all of my friends and she has helped all of them achieve admission to a top 10 program, even with the incredibly competitive atmosphere of the pandemic. She is the consultant who can transform your application and help you achieve your transition goals and next steps.

  • Incredible Service For Veteran MBAs!
    2 years ago
    I can’t do justice to the value of working with Emily. As an older MBA applicant and military retiree, I knew that I had an uphill climb in an unfamiliar environment with its own distinct approach and vocabulary. I had no practical idea how to translate my skills and experience into a product that would resonate with business school selection committees. Emily and her team acted in turns as guides, strategists, coaches, and interpreters to help navigate this complex process and helped me turn an ambiguous plan into a focused, hard-hitting narrative that we built the application packages around. The results speak for themselves, I was accepted and received large scholarships to both of the top programs I applied to. If getting a top MBA ...
