P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Excellent Consultant, Highly Recommend
    2 months ago
    I loved working with Jen! When I began the MBA admissions process, I knew next to nothing about it. Jen did an excellent job guiding me through the process, and throughout my time working with her, she was kind, thoughtful, and detail oriented. Thanks to her, I was accepted to one of my target schools. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering applying to MBA programs.

  • I Worked With Jen & Got Into My Dream Business Schools :)
    3 months ago
    I've been working with Jen for the past few months and my experience with her was amazing. Firstly, my situation was very nuanced (I was considering forgoing a part-time US program and applying for a European full-time program). Second, I did not have too much time applying when I started working with her and wanted to apply for the R1 deadline. Jen took time to get to know me and did not get scared away with my special circumstance. Instead, she called out several areas that I had never thought about before that I thought were super helpful for my application. Once I started working with her, a few things stand out as well. First, she is very knowledgeable about the whole process and especially ...

  • Highly Recommend Working With Jen!!!
    4 months ago
    I worked with Jen on five round-one MBA applications (HBS, Stanford GSB, Booth, Kellogg, and Sloan), and was accepted to every program with significant scholarships at Booth and Kellogg! Before starting my apps, I spoke to a few admissions consultants, and Jen immediately stood out to me as the best. Jen worked with me on an hourly basis and helped me with my essays for all schools. She gave me practical, helpful advice, and really helped me take my essays to the next level. Jen also did a mock HBS interview with me, and this experience was very helpful to prepare for the "real thing". She asked me thoughtful questions and gave me actionable feedback. Jen was there with me every step of the ...

    7 months ago
    I met Jen during the free mbaMission consulting session. She was extremely intelligent and understanding of my previous professional career. I had my doubts about my resume and application, but she was extremely supportive and assured me that I had great qualities to be a strong candidate for my desired MBA programs. She was prompt, responsive, and extremely thorough with her responses and suggestions, but also incredibly nice and fun to work with. I definitely could not have gotten into my dream schools without her help and guidance. I would highly, highly recommend working with Jen!

  • Organized, Patient & Thorough - Would Highly Recommend!
    8 months ago
    I met Jen during the free counseling call that MBAMission provided and immediately felt that she cared and genuinely wanted to help me get into the best business school I wanted. After my GMAT, I had to fill in a long brainstorming document going through every detail of my life, and we had a call to discuss which aspects would be most relevant to my application. Jen was very creative in finding strengths in me that I did not think of as strengths, but those that would be valued in B-school. I had initially wanted to apply to the top 15 US schools, but suddenly changed my mind in the middle of the process and decided only to apply to European schools. Jen did not miss ...

  • Confidence-Building, Structured & Reliable
    8 months ago
    I worked with Jen on a one-school application to London-based business schools, with a view that I could add an application for a second school should my first preference be unsuccessful. I found Jen to be an extremely valuable ally to have in my corner. Not only was her understanding of the process and application demands a huge leg up, she also provided a sense of structure which helped my meet my deadlines. Jen helped me develop and focus in on my strengths and clarify my objectives (both for the program and post). Her ability to condense my drafts into a format where every sentence had impact was brilliant and, I feel, something that would have been difficult to achieve without the kind of experience that she ...

    Jen was instrumental in helping me prepare for my MBA interviews at Harvard and Stanford. She provided me with a clear path to prep for interviews and all the necessary pre materials. I did a mock interview with her for both schools, and her feedback helped me excel in the actual interview, which went similarly to the mock session. I'm very grateful to have worked with Jen!

  • 100% Recommend Jen: Patient, Detail Oriented, Coach
    10 months ago
    I had a wonderful experience working with Jen Kedrowski. I first spoke with Jen in November of 2022 after reading about her expertise in advising applicants to leading US as well as international MBA programs. It was clear during our first consultation that she was engaged and interested in learning about me on a personal level and was able to ask probing questions that allowed me to expand on experiences that shaped who I am as a business professional. I was entering the MBA application process slightly late, so her expertise helped me create a curated timeline that took into consideration my upcoming testing dates as well as key application milestones. As someone from a non-traditional background, her process insights and timeline tips were extremely helpful. ...

  • Jen Helped Me To Get Into My Dream Business School
    10 months ago
    The main reason I decided to get consultant service was that I felt I needed direction to prepare a strong success story and to deal with the whole process smoothly. I had 30 minutes free consultations with multiple consultants, however I easily made my decision as I realized that mbaMission and specifically, Jen was the best person to jump into this process with. I started working with Jen in November for R2. We were preparing the whole applications for 2 B-schools. Each of our sessions was very productive and helpful. Working with Jen was very nice and comfortable, she provided all the materials I needed during the process, she was open to answer any questions and to discuss any topic together, which was really helpful for ...

    I contacted Jen when I was preparing for an interview for admission to Kellogg's MMM program. I did a 30 minutes free consultation with her and then a mock interview. Both sessions were very rich and she provided me with practical advice as well study material which came in very handy during my preparation. However, I was not admitted most because admission into the program was very competitive and I did not have the opportunity to work extensively with her. Jen encouraged me to give another shot at applying to business school and proposed practical steps as well a calendar of activities that would help improve my chances. First, she advised me to try the GRE after several attempts at the GMAT. She encouraged me to ...

    I was trying to get into my top choice B-school for a year. I was determined to get into it, but I felt that I needed someone who can stand as a strong support throughout to make the whole process less overwhelming. I had my priorities sorted in terms of the kind of consultant I wanted to work with. I talked to many consultants but I decided to work with Jen as I was looking for someone who is experienced (Jen has 20 years of experience), and who is a great mentor - with whom I can have wholesome conversations. I am a person who wants to think through all the scenarios and ponder different possibilities. But I felt limited to doing all this by myself. ...

    Jen was an incredible consultant and helped to make the entire process so much smoother. From the start, she helped make a clear plan of how we would tackle the application process with a week-by-week guide. Since I was coming from an engineering background, her expertise was essential in helping me brainstorm and edit essays. Before each of my interviews, she helped me practice which was so important to not only reviewing likely questions, but also getting out the nervous jitters. Throughout the process, she was warm, kind, and always responsive. With her help, I was accepted to not only my target school (CBS) but also my dream school (HBS)! Jen really made all the difference and I am so grateful for all of her ...

    I was solely focused on applying to European schools and originally went with Jen as she had attended Cambridge herself. However, throughout the 3-4 months that I spent working with Jen, she was an absolutely invaluable resource in helping me gain admission. I only applied to LBS and IESE for Round 1 and got admitted to both. I knew LBS would be a reach for me, but Jen really took the time to get to know me, my story, and my motivations for wanting to attend, and was a constant cheerleader throughout the process. Having only lived in one US state, moving abroad for business school was a huge life decision and having Jen in my corner made that decision that much easier. Working with ...

Starting with our joint brainstorming for the essays, where she helped me tremendously in selecting the episodes from my life that could have relevance to the applications, and then sorting them out on the essay topics so that they would paint a comprehensive picture of my strengths. Followed by writing the essays together, where we sent numerous drafts back and forth between us and Jen had a great sense of the strengths and weaknesses of individual drafts and also never shied away from communicating her honest opinion about what I had written, even if it needed us to redraft entire essays. Finally, the joint preparation for the interviews ...

Jen also provided structured feedback on my resume to make my bullets easier to understand across audiences and to quantify the impact I had through my work projects.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Jen at mbaMission in my application process to graduate school. Not only was I successful in my dream of being successfully admitted, but the mbaMission process, specifically with Jen, was completely transformative for me. It allowed me to turn what could have been a somewhat chore-ish task of applying to grad school into an exercise of reflecting on my adolescence and created a safe space for me to put pen to paper about my wildest dreams and goals for my future. In many ways, it felt like therapy or professional coaching, in the Trojan horse of admissions support :) Beyond being profoundly astute and thoughtful as I crafted my story, Jen was extremely diligent and went above and ...

I was lucky enough to get into a top global MBA program, all because of her. She did an amazing job helping me pull out the key parts of my story and helped me to craft my unique experiences into a coherent story.

She helped me find some unique and exciting stories in my career and life that I was not aware of. The mock interviews we did for both Kira video questions and alumni interviews were super helpful.

It is naïve to think that someone else will do every part of the application for you, but working together can truly work wonders. Every time I received my pieces back with comments from Jen, I had an "oh my god" in my head.

    From the very first conversation, I could tell that Jen was a great listener who cares deeply about her work and has a real passion for what she does. For such deep reflection that is required for these applications, you want to feel comfortable as a client in telling your consultant the most intimate details about your life. At least for me, this was important. And Jen made the environment so welcoming and inviting from the start. I feel that after 6+ months I can speak quite accurately to her abilities. I didn’t have the strongest application profile in the world, and had no idea what industry I was after or even what type of school I was looking for. Jen’s attention to detail is ...

I was fortunate enough to get into my top-choice MBA program and know for certain I wouldn't have been accepted without the guidance, support, and friendship of Jen. To borrow a boxing reference, she is the best person to 'have in your corner' through the long & (often) stressful process of applying to business school. The attention to detail, time, and energy Jen dedicates to her clients' essays, interview prep, and overall 'story' is unrivaled; she really cares about each individual- and it shows. At the start of this process, I truthfully didn't think I would get in anywhere, much less ...

In addition to being a wealth of knowledge about the admissions process and what schools are looking for, Jen is incredibly thoughtful and supportive.

    Working with Jen Kedrowski was truly a gift and likely the best investment I made for myself to gain admittance to my top choice, CBS. About me: R3 extended applicant, above-average GPA from a mid-tier undergrad program, untraditional background, employment gaps, strong EA. We completed 3 applications in about 1 month. Jen completely helped me to revisit and revise, taking my applications from decent to a top 10 admittance. At the core of her is a ridiculous breadth of knowledge on how to best advocate for yourself and showcase your core truths, and thus, your most compelling MBA application. Her ‘make-it-happen’ mentality is peppered in with the perfect amount of urgency and confidence-boosting kindness. During brainstorming, she got to know me well beyond my resume ...

  • Best support I could have wished for
    4 years ago
    Before deciding which admission consultant company to choose, I conducted several free consultations to get a sense for the different approaches and also for the consultants I would be working with later on. I found it very helpful that Jen, who conducted the initial consultation, was also the actual consultant who helped me create my applications later on - at some other firms the initial consultations were not conducted by the actual consultants. From the beginning I had the feeling that Jen was very knowledgeable and that she provided exactly the advise that I felt I needed. Therefore, I decided to work with her. This decision turned out to be perfect, as she managed to help me demonstrate my strogest self in my applications. She took ...

  • Jen is amazing!!
    4 years ago
    Background on me: White, male, finance, small school (GPA 3.9 / GMAT: 680 / 5 years of experience upon matriculation). Pre-MBA I worked at a relatively unknown firm.  So all in all, I felt like I had a somewhat weak profile compared to the whole of the applicant pool.  I knew early on that I would use an admissions consultant and would need a way to differentiate my self from a competitive applicant pool. I spoke to a few consultants and told them my background. However, Jen truly stood out because she generally understood my background and on a free consultation helped me start to craft my story. She seemed to be generally enthusiastic about the process too.  Ultimately I signed up for the complete package. Working ...

  • One of The Best Decisions I've Made That Year
    5 years ago
    I started my application with another wonderful consultant that had to go on maternity leave and Jen kindly helped me with the interviews preparations. She was helpful and factual in her feedback, both during live sessions and guidance of my self preparations. I felt very confident during the actual interview, that appeared easier than the prepping sessions. I had a feeling that the whole process was very well thought through initially, and later tailored to each student - via timeline, collecting best personal stories, and adjusting working style. Overall, this was, I think, a life-changing experience for me and application would have been so much more complicated, stressful, lengthier and error-prone.

  • Jen Was The Key To Getting Me Into Haas
    5 years ago
    I am not over exaggerating when I say without Jen I would not have gotten into Haas. I am a reapplicant. I had a low GRE score. I had a difficult story I needed to tell and Jen helped me to do that seamlessly. She really brought my essays to life, helped me to prep for my interviews with inside knowledge on how each interview worked and who the people were I'd be interviewing with, and provided a unique idea for my waitlist updates for Ross, Wharton, and Haas. Jen is the kind of consultant that is there every step of the way as your cheerleader. She's incredibly efficient, smart, not pushy, and kind. She believed in me when no one else did and that ...

  • I Would Not Have Gotten In Without Jen
    5 years ago
    I had a wonderful experience working with Jen Kedrowski. I believed the weakest aspect of my application was my work experience and Jen worked very hard to help me highlight my accomplishments and address my weaknesses. We also spent many productive hours preparing for interviews, of which I had six in a two week period. I chose Jen because she received her MBA from Cambridge and I was most interested in LBS, but this does not mean that she has limited knowledge of the American schools. Jen helped me get accepted to Booth, Yale, and Cambridge and waitlisted at Dartmouth and LBS. If you are looking for a consultant who is very diligent, enthusiastic, reliable, and detail oriented, I would highly recommend Jen Kedrowski at ...

  • Great Experience With Jen!
    5 years ago
    Jen has been incredibly helpful and instrumental to my MBA application process over the last six months. With her help, I was able to tell my story in a way I was really happy with. The MBA application process is demanding and difficult at times, but Jen helped me grow throughout the process and continuously learn more about myself along the way. Jen was always responsive and thorough throughout our time working together. I always felt that she had substantive and value-add feedback whenever she sent backdrafts, but never commented just to comment. It always felt as though we were really in the MBA application process together - the partnership was amazing! I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone I know going through the MBA application ...

  • Got Into CBS With Jen - 10000% Recommend Again
    5 years ago
    Really thorough, provided candid and relevant feedback, helped with everything from beginning to end. My first time applying I went with another consulting firm and got dinged by all schools (0/5). 2nd time around I went with Jen and she recommended to boost my GMAT and reach out to current students to truly identify why I wanted to attend. My application was so much more polished and it got me in. Working with Jen, she handled everything, had great editing skills, etc. She was extremely helpful!!

  • Everything I Needed To Reach My MBA Admission Goal
    5 years ago
    I initially decided to do my free 30-minute consultation with Jen because I saw that she had done her MBA studies overseas (at Cambridge) and might possibly have better insight than other consultants with regard to my background (I had spent half my career overseas and didn't want to just come across as "the international guy"). Jen told me in that call, that any of mbaMission's consultants could help me present a solid narrative with my background, but I stayed with Jen because she came across very professionally and agreeably and came into that meeting with some great feedback prepared. I was only applying to one school, The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, so I didn't take advantage of any school selection or program ...

  • Highly Recommend Jen!
    5 years ago
    Working with Jen was both a very helpful and enjoyable experience. She is definitely a pro in this field and working with her was worth the cost. In total, I spent 10 hours with Jen on two applications. We started with brainstorming and narrowing in on which stories to tell. From there she reviewed outlines and multiple drafts of multiple essays, in addition to helping me refine my resume tremendously. I was impressed with how she kept all my essays very focused when I'd stray or ramble a bit- we ended up developing highly effective and efficient essays. Jen is also very responsive to emails and just genuinely pleasant to interact with. Ultimately I was accepted to both of my top European schools with scholarships. ...

  • Jen's Storytelling-Based Approach Helped Me Tremendously!
    5 years ago
    When I considered taking the first steps in the MBA admissions process, the only word that accurately describes my feelings at the time is “intimidated.” From reading online posts about the process to talking with others who had gone through it, it felt as if everyone had some great story, some “golden ticket,” that I simply didn’t have. I didn’t come from a traditional finance or consulting background, was not sure my academics were up to snuff, and genuinely felt overwhelmed by the prospect of researching schools, writing essays, and soliciting recommendations. I decided to request a free consultation with mbaMission given that extremely positive feedback on their consultants was pretty universal. When I met with Jen, I immediately felt at ease. I shared my ...

  • Fantastic consultant
    6 years ago
    Working with Jen on my MBA apps was an absolute pleasure. She came highly recommended, as she worked with my wife on her apps two years ago, and exceeded even those high expectations. I had a solid GMAT score coming in, and was relatively confident in my ability as a writer, so I was very much on the fence about engaging with an MBA consultant. However, from the moment I had my 30 minute consultation with Jen, I was sold. I can confidently say, working with Jen was absolutely worth the fees (I credit working with her for a substantial scholarship I received from my top M7 choice, which paid for every penny of her fee many times over). Jen began by talking through my MBA goals, ...

  • My most trusted mentor and friend for my MBA application journey
    6 years ago
    Initially I felt a little intimidated by the idea of working with an MBA admission consultant because I knew that MBA application process is all about deep self-reflection and authentic storytelling. I was not sure if I could truly open up myself to and go through the process with someone I did not know before. But because mbaMission has a great reputation, I decided to give it a try and call them for a free 30-minute consultation. That then led me to Jen, who completely shaped my MBA application experience! Jen challenged me to go above and beyond in my applications: The very first essay draft I sent to Jen was Stanford’s classic and difficult essay. Jen sent me her written feedback in 2 days and ...

  • Very helpful, efficient, and worth the cost
    6 years ago
    I worked with Jen for five hours on my application and interview prep for one school (that I successfully was admitted to!) and it was immensely helpful and very worth the cost. I made sure to have my essays and short answers in good shape by the time I sent them to Jen to get a last eye on them. It was incredibly helpful to have a professional look over these and she was efficient- I got a ton out of only five hours!

  • Extremely helpful from start to finish
    6 years ago
    Starting from my 30-minute free consultation, Jen provided useful guidance on how to approach school selection, the application process, and positioning myself. Through four applications, I found the structured approach the she provided to the early stages of brainstorming and developing a personal narrative to be particularly helpful. Her essay editing helped me to tell a more focused and impactful story and mock interviews always prepared me very well for the real thing. On a more personal level, Jen was friendly and easy to work with and always had interesting insights into what I was saying about myself and how to make that more clear and forceful. I would certainly recommend her services to anyone applying to business school.

  • Fantastic experience working with Jen!

    I used hourly services with Jen and it was immensely helpful in my business school application process and a key contributor to my success in admissions! I was initially hesitant to use an admissions consultant, but set up a free 30 minute consultation at the recommendation of a friend. A few minutes into my consultation, I knew I wanted to work with Jen throughout the application process. Right away, she pulled stories out of me to brainstorm essay ideas and provided great advice on which stories I should use for which applications. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the schools I was applying to and helped me tailor my essays, short responses, and resumes accordingly. I am so glad I made the decision to use mbaMission ...

  • Fantastic Experience
    6 years ago
    I had the pleasure of working with Jen Kedrowski for my application to NYU Stern. As someone who was uncertain of his chances into gaining admission, I knew I needed a leg up on the competition. Jen provided me with that extra boost. Her feedback was super helpful in getting my entire application to tell one cohesive story that helped make my overall application stronger. Her work on my essays and resume helped me tell my story while staying within the strict word count guidelines. She also gave me really great ideas on the creative essay that Stern implemented just last year. I would recommend her services to any future MBA applicant looking to help increase their chances of gaining entry into a top tier ...

  • Amazing consultant
    6 years ago
    I had the pleasure of working with Jen on an hourly basis to help with my MBA applications. I first called Jen for the 30 minute free consultation in a total panic about my future (ha) to which she was not only helpful, but also a friend. Jen and I maximized our hourly services together and her strength was really noticeable in shaping my story into something each b-school I applied to would resonate with. Together we worked on a strategy for schools, essays and applications, and mock interviews. I come from a very technical background (geologist!) and Jen was able to translate my industry specific experiences and jargon into a relatable story for admissions. Even on an hourly basis, I felt that Jen really ...

  • Amazing Experience with Jen Kedrowski
    6 years ago
    I was hesitant about hiring an admission consultant due to the cost, but decided to sign up for the three-school package after speaking to some of my colleagues and friends. Working with Jen was one of the best decisions I made throughout my MBA application process and I am confident I would not have been admitted to my top choice program if it wasn’t for Jen’s guidance and encouragement. I come from a non-traditional background and Jen took the time to understand my story, helping me develop a competitive application. From the beginning, Jen invested time to really understand my background and experience, which was extremely helpful as we started to review my application essays. Jen was honest and would let me know if she ...
