  • Great Coach
    2 months ago
    Jenifer was an excellent coach for Wharton and was a key part of getting an admit. She helped me understand the perspective of the admissions committee and was vital in getting the best possible version of my application. Coming from a non-traditional background, she was also particularly helpful for ensuring my accomplishments were clearly communicated to the target audience. Highly recommend!

  • Not Just A Coach But A Mentor/Friend
    4 months ago
    If you're probably like me you're reading this right now to make sure that your hard earned money won't be put to waste. I'm in finance so I've had a poor experience before with another consultant after I paid my deposit they outsourced all the work and it was extremely impersonal and overall poor quality. On the other hand, Jenifer is amazing. She is always there from step 1 (thinking of business school) to step 100 (following up after you started your class). She views this more than just a job and really cares about getting to know you. There will be times when you're preparing your MBA application and it may feel daunting but Jenifer will be there to help guide you. Overall A+, ...

  • Jenny: Amazing Coach/Mentor/Friend
    4 months ago
    I couldn't have asked for a better coach in Jenny. We worked together for about 6 months. With her help, I landed 3 admits (NYU, Wharton, Sloan) and also a full Consortium scholarship. She helped me craft my story and pushed me to demonstrate where I excelled. Like others have said, she knows the ins and outs of what the programs are looking for. As an added bonus, Jenny was kind and thoughtful throughout the entire process. During one session, I logged on and was stressed about other things going on with work/life. She immediatley sensed that the session would be more productive if we re-scheduled. I appreciate her patience, flexibility and kindness.

  • Fantastic Coach - Understands Her Clientele and Helps Them Grow
    5 months ago
    I could not have asked for a better consultant than Jen. Bottom line upfront: she took me from a waitlisted applicant to someone on a 50,000 scholarship. In a short time listening to my story, she helped me articulate a core theme for my application, identified specific aspects of my extra curriculars to highlight, and gave me honest constructive criticism and praise throughout the application process. I strongly recommend her to anyone considering it. My investment paid out 20 fold.

  • Stellar Coach
    6 months ago
    I worked with Jenifer on my applications for 2 schools. She's a world-class coach, deeply knowleadgable about the ins and outs of the MBA application process. Engaging with Jenifer is not about ā€œjust applying for an MBAā€, but the best way to reflect on who you are, why youā€™re here, and what good you want to do in the world. She is a compassionate and caring person, and working with her was transformative in many ways. At a time when every consultant discouraged me, Jenifer took the bet and was there throughout the process to help me reflect, craft, and sharpen my story. In the end, I was accepted at H / W ($) and Booth. If you can, I highly recommend to work with Jenifer during your MBA application ...

    During my MBA application process, I had the absolute pleasure to work with Jenifer who truly surpassed all my expectations as a coach and mentor. Through her guidance, expertise, and unwavering support, I was admitted to HBS, Stanford GSB, and Wharton / Lauder. She has my unequivocal endorsement. I worked with Jenifer through Fortuna's comprehensive school packages. Ever since my first conversation with her, she showed complete investment in me and my story as someone from a lower income, diverse, immigrant background. She dedicated a lot of time and energy to get to know ME - understand my journey, character, and aspirations - outside of just the applications, which made me feel like I always had a trusted friend and supporter in my corner throughout ...

    2 years ago
    I had a very disappointing prior MBA admissions round where I was rejected without interview from 5 schools. My motivation was at an all time low. However, in 2022, I decided to give another attempt at GRE and approached Fortuna Admissions. Despite a not so decent GRE score, Matt from Fortuna gave me immense confidence that I still deserve a place in Top 20 due to my impressive and diverse work experience. I was paired with Jenifer and we instantly connected due to her prior experience working with people from my background. Jenifer and I immediately deep dived into our applications, and I sincerely believe her strongest skill is bringing out my unique perspective. She helped me identify that trait and very skilfully coached me ...

  • She's The Perfect Combination - Expert Guide & Encouraging Coach!
    2 years ago
    After speaking to several local and international consultants and being discouraged by a few, I was fortunate enough to have connected with Jenifer. When I reached out to Fortuna Admissions, I was very impressed by their approach of letting me have chemistry calls (also known as the free consultation call) where I was able to speak to 2 recommended coaches based on my profile and requirements. Both my chemistry conversations were remarkably positive, but with Jenifer, I connected instantly because of her genuine and warm personality and the fact that she took the time (and even went beyond the scheduled time) to get to know ME and MY expectations, even in our free consultation! From the very beginning, Jenifer was incredibly insightful, organized, and professional - ...

    The MBA application journey seemed extremely daunting and overwhelming as I needed help figuring out where to start. I decided to talk to consultants to find someone who deeply understood my journey to help craft a meaningful essay. After talking to a few consultants, I knew within the first 20 minutes of my call with Jenifer that she was the person I wanted to work with, and I told her immediately on the call. I had many hurdles to overcome and reframe to help piece it all together, and Jenifer helped me focus on the most important aspects to really pull my story together. From the beginning, she helped me narrow down the target schools to perfect my resume. I was extremely satisfied with the ...

  • BEST Experience - A Coach That Realizes Your Dreams Before You DO!
    2 years ago
    After multiple sub-par introductory calls with a few consulting firms, I was warmly greeted by Jenifer on our introductory call (first free consultation). Immediately, her liveliness and sincere attention toward my goals persuaded me to sign up for Fortuna's 2-school package. Throughout my working with her, Jenifer and the coaches at Fortuna never forced me to buy additional hours. All hours were used incredibly wisely and I was able to submit multiple applications with immaculate details and serious thoughts. With the consultations, I was able to discover who I was as a person deeply and decided to apply to Wharton, which was not an option I originally considered due to the school's infamous (and may I say, very wrongly characterized) focus on Finance. I received ...

    I worked with Jenifer Raver from Fortuna Admissions as part of my MBA application journey, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an admissions consultant! Thanks to Jenifer, I was accepted to 3 out of 4 of my target schools (including H/W) and waitlisted at the GSB. From the beginning, I knew I wanted someone ā€œin my cornerā€ to root for me while providing expert guidance throughout the application and interview process. Jenifer was the best coach I could have asked for.

From our very first call, I knew that Jenifer was the perfect advisor for me as she helped me build my narrative, bringing out strengths that translated to what my specific school was looking for, particularly since my MBA program of interest had an international twist. Jenifer was so kind, and thoughtful yet so diligent in ensuring that every aspect of my application that I put forward to the admissions office was intentional, which I truly appreciate!

    I worked with Jenifer on my mock interview for HBS (which I ultimately got admitted to) and had a wonderful experience! I also had the pleasure of working with Jenifer at the beginning of my MBA consultant search process and she helped me decide to work with another Fortuna client. Jenifer is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. She is very generous with her time and gives you very honest and candid feedback. She is also excellent at simulating the intense experience that is the HBS interview! Thanks so much, Jenifer

  • An Excellent Coach That Gets Me Into My Dream School!
    2 years ago
    I worked with Jenifer through Fortuna admissions for my MBA applications, mostly focusing on INSEAD. Jenifer had absolutely sold me on her genuine and warm personality the first time I met her through the free consultation call. I decided to purchase the 8-hour package to work with Jenifer or refine my resume and essays and polish my interview skills. Throughout the process, she continuously encouraged me to be myself and be authentic with the stories I shared in my essays. She patiently reviewed all my drafts and helped me hit some impossible word count limits. Her positive attitude is something I cherish the most throughout this very challenging application process I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of an MBA admissions consultant.

    I had an amazing time working with Jenifer! She was not only a great coach but also a friend throughout the process, which was something that really helped me power through all the requirements. She was super accommodating, structured, detail-oriented, and very insightful about the process! Early on, I requested if we could have constant catchups (because it was something I thought would help me keep track, being very busy with work) and because of that, we ended up chatting once a week before work! I always looked forward to every conversation because there was always something new to learn from her each week. Our conversations were also very fun, we would talk about how life was in our respective countries, especially during COVID-19. I ...

Her intimate understanding of the Wharton/Lauder process really allowed me to fine-tune my personal story to stand out better in the applicant pool.

    After conducting thorough due diligence of +10 admission consulting firms (basically, I had a 30-min call with those +10 admission consulting firms), I decided to work with Fortuna for two reasons. Firstly, Fortuna has a lot of experience in this industry. Secondly, contrary to other consulting firms, Fortuna was really trying to understand my need from the initial call vs. other consulting firms were trying to sell me their packages/offers during the first call... I disliked this second approach. My initial call was with Jenifer! Jenifer was not my direct coach but provided me with her ideas and recommendations during the middle at the end of my admission preparation. It was certainly valuable to benefit from her experience.

She helped me in the application process by thoroughly reviewing and providing feedback on my resume, essays and short answer responses through at least a dozen iterations.

She truly helped me understand that the application doesn't necessarily have to check every box (I was applying with only 3 years of work experience, lower than the 5-6 year average at the schools) and that highlighting my strengths and truly embracing my values and presenting them well is more important. I enjoyed working with her both on my essays and interviews. I got great constructive feedback from her on my interviews and it really helped me be more confident at my actual interviews. I would strongly ...

  • Jenifer is a coach with a heart!
    4 years ago
    Jenifer is a coach with a heart. My interaction with Jenifer started during my first half-hour consultation with Fortuna. I had no expectations of Fortuna then, and was undecided in signing up for a coach. But within the first few minutes of our call, Jeniferā€™s warm and friendly persona drew me in like quicksand. There was never a mention of business sale. Our conversation was personal and authentic. It was at that point I knew engaging Fortuna was the right move for me. Even though Jenifer was not a direct coach to my application, she played the role of a pseudo mentor and friend throughout my MBA application journey. She checked up on me every other week to see if I was doing well, giving me ...

  • Jenifer Is More Than Just A Coach
    4 years ago
    I worked with Jenifer from last May for my b-school applications and she not only helped me get into my top choice school, but she also helped me navigate a very difficult year and ensured I produced the best application that I could put forward. I struggled a lot when I was not able to crack the GMAT and apply in round 1, but her belief and faith in me and my capabilities kept me going, eventually resulting in me getting a 700+ score and an admit. She completely understood my aspirations and goals and even believed in what I wanted to do in my life and that was really important for me as it made working with her so effortless. It's safe to ...

  • Jenifer Is The Best!!!
    4 years ago
    I was introduced to Jenifer by a friend of mine who had already worked on his MBA application with her and he was very happy with Jenifer as he got admitted into some of the most highly-ranked programs. I must say that Jenifer far exceeded my expectations. I worked with her for almost a year, a period in which she helped me in every aspect of my MBA application journey. After understanding my interests and objectives, Jenifer helped me find the right schools for me and motivated me during my GMAT preparation. Despite I wasnā€™t yet a client of her, she was constantly helping me and giving me precious suggestions on how to reach my goals. My first GMAT attempt did not go as expected, ...

  • Amazing Experience Working With Jenifer!
    4 years ago
    I had an amazing experience working with Jenifer! Not only did she help me with my application, like other reviews here said, but she was also a great mentor, and I learned a lot about myself from her during the process! I decided to apply to MBA mid-year last year, quite late, and storytelling/essay writing is definitely one of my weaknesses. MBA application can be an extremely stressful and vulnerable process, but Jenifer was very patient. She learned about me in detail to make sure I can tell the best stories about myself to admissions. It was so easy to connect and open up to her, and from her global experiences, I felt like she really understood my experiences living in different countries and working ...

  • Jenifer IS AMAZING!!!
    4 years ago
    I worked with Jenifer as a Round 2 candidate for the Class of 2023. As a reapplicant, I worked with an Admissions Consultant to identify ways to strengthen my application since I knew how competitive the process would be this year due to the pandemic. That said, I'm grateful to have found Jenifer! I purchased an 8-hour package, and within this brief period, she took the time to get to know me and went above and beyond to offer guidance on my essays, interviews, and overall story. When interacting with her, I felt like I was speaking with a mentor I have known for years. She was genuinely interested in ensuring that I put forth the best application out there, and I suspect that not ...

  • Thank You Jenny!

    I worked with Jenifer for 6 months applying to 5 different schools. With her help and guidance, I was invited to interview with four of them. All schools are very competitive top MBA programs. Jenifer is an amazing person and coach. She goes above and beyond in getting to know her clients in order to cater to the best story about them. We built an amazing relationship that I am sure will last for good. She is very genuine in her feedback and guidance which what candidates need the most in preparing their applications. I consider myself very lucky to have worked with her. You are great Jenny! TYK!

  • A Wonderful Experience Working With Jenifer!
    4 years ago
    I was initially hesitant to use a consulting service given the financial commitment, but now as a new M7 admit I can confidently say that it was worth every penny! I chose Fortuna for hourly services after having an initial consultation that was head and shoulders above the consultation that I had with another firm. I was fortunate to be paired with Jenifer, who was a fantastic mentor and a kindhearted person. She brought out the best in my profile and helped me thread together my unique story in a way that I couldn't have done entirely on my own. She was also an invaluable support system when those inevitable pre-submission doubts crept in. The application process can be draining, and Jenifer is definitely someone you ...

  • Coach Beyond MBA - GSB/Wharton/Sloan Admit
    4 years ago
    I wasn't 100% sure what to expect when I sought a coach for my MBA applications, but Jenny Raver far exceeded any of my expectations. The application process is a mentally, emotionally, and time-wise taxing journey - I couldn't have done it without Jenny's patience, personalized guidance, and incredible ability to connect the dots across my life/accomplishments in ways that enriched my belief in my own potential. If you're looking for a coach who knows the process inside out and has your back beyond professional success, I would look no further than Jenny, with whom I look forward to staying close with over future milestones in life.

  • Jenifer Is An Amazing Coach & Mentor!
    5 years ago
    When researching for an MBA admissions consultant, I interviewed with two MBA admissions consultants and decided to go with Fortuna because Fortuna took the time to get to know me, my background and understand the reason why I want to pursue an MBA prior to assigning me with a coach. After the initial chat and based on my background/school of interests, Fortuna connected me with Jenifer. It was truly a pleasure working with Jenifer and the Fortuna team. Jenifer is a very knowledgeable coach and she genuinely cares about her students. I chose the 2 school package with Fortuna and worked closely with Jenifer on essay writing for two schools and one mock interview. Throughout the essay editing phase, Jenifer provided great feedback ...

    As a reapplicant, I was trying to figure out how to improve my application. Even though I went to Jenifer late in the application cycle, she helped me through every step in detail. Her consistent guidance and support were amazing. I discovered new angles to my stories through our discussions. Jenifer's warm and encouraging approach made the application process enjoyable. Throughout the application cycle (including closer to the deadlines), Jenifer remained extremely professional and responsive. When I was traveling to different time zones, Jenifer still managed to find windows to speak with me even on short notice. Her commitment and open communication made working with her very easy. After securing admission in a top program, as an international student, the pandemic has brought a fair ...

  • Highly Recommend Jenifer
    5 years ago
    From the initial call to working with my coach to director reviews, I felt strongly that the entire experience with Fortuna was personalized. From the beginning, my coach Jenifer was keen on building strong connection with me so that she could get to know me professional and personally. The connection made it possible for her to later personalize strategies and guide me to realize my full potential in applications. At every step, she provided me support thoroughly and patiently. No matter what situation I ran into, I felt I could rely on her expert opinions to exam my actions to take. It brought me peace of mind especially as I had an unconventional background with few connections in the B-school cycle. Along the process, I ...

    I worked with Jenifer Raver to prepare for my Team-Based Discussion. The 1-hour session I had with Jenifer as she reviewed my mock TBD and provided feedback to prepare me for the main TBD, made me build a very strong connection with her because she's so caring, patient, and very insightful. I wish \ worked with the Fortuna admission team from the beginning when I applied to other schools. I believe I would have gotten all because of the kind of personalized support and extreme attention to detail that I had from Jenifer. I couldn't think of any better person to work with next time than Jenifer and the Fortuna Admissions.

  • An Exceptional Consultant & Much More!
    5 years ago
    I'm grateful to have had the good fortune of working with Jenifer. She helped turn the tedious application process into a pleasant and rewarding experience and was both a guide and mentor to me. When I began exploring MBA programs, I was uncertain if my profile would be appealing to the top-ranked schools, and wasn't sure which parts of my professional and personal background to emphasize. Jenifer was extraordinarily supportive, patient, encouraging, and earnest in her approach, which helped ease my anxieties -- a lifesaver for a worrier like myself! Jenifer helped me explore and find hidden strengths throughout all dimensions in my background, which allowed me to craft a cohesive story that was both authentic and showcased my non-traditional sides as unique assets. Jenifer was ...

  • Highly Recommend Jenifer
    5 years ago
    I worked with Jenifer Raver and the experience was truly rewarding. I got into one of the T10 with a scholarship and will be heading there this fall. I remember it was last year this time when I had the first meeting with Jenifer. Having already talked to many consultants who tend to sell you the same pitch and rosy prospect, Jenifer really stood out for her tremendous caring for clients. It was from that meeting I made the decision to work with her and I couldnā€™t be happier. The application process can be a rocky road filled with surprise (both good and bad). At the time I was the only one applying for an MBA at my office and it felt like I was ...

  • Jenifer Helped Me Secure a Fellowship to My #1 School!
    5 years ago
    I worked with Jenifer to prepare for my Team-Based Discussion. Since I came from a non-business background (military), the Fortuna Admissions team helped me showcase my strengths while also accentuating my personality. After the mock interview and debrief, I grew more comfortable influencing fellow applicants, whom had widely different personalities and backgrounds that I was used to -- a skill to improve upon for any applicant! My performance during game day rounded out my application and ultimately helped me secure a generous merit fellowship. Jenifer was insightful, patient, and empowering. Overall, working with the Fortuna Admissions team will give you invaluable glimpse into what it could feel like during game day. Take my advice, you won't regret it.

    I was approved for MBA sponsorship by my employer close to the deadlines for round two and was very stressed and worried due to the time constraint. The decision to sign up for the Comprehensive School Package with Fortuna was the best decision I've made this year. Jenifer did a great job in walking me through the process and setting realistic deadlines for each part. She was also very responsive and attentive to my concerns and worries all throughout the application journey. It was evident that Jenifer has A LOT of experience with top program applications and her tips and feedback regarding my essays was invaluable. My GRE scores were not the best, yet Jenifer's help in putting together and polishing my overall application resulted in me ...

  • A Mentor Beyond MBA Applications
    6 years ago
    I started my MBA applications quite late, around August. A good friend who got into a top 3 MBA program introduced me to Fortuna and I was very lucky to pair up with Jenifer. At first, I was not that articulate in terms of revealing myself or explaining why I want to pursue a MBA at this stage of my career. I had a hard time connecting the dots together, especially for schools like HBS, which requires a deep reflection on my past experience. Jenifer provided me some very informative and authentic feedback. Most importantly, she guided me to get to know myself in a deeper level. She was literally there for me every step of the way. Throughout this process, I had a ...

  • Jenifer Is FANTASTIC. Got Into My #1 M7 School Because Of Her!
    6 years ago
    To start off: I got into my first choice school! M7 school, and I'll be starting this fall! My background: I'm an Asian engineer with a low undergraduate GPA. I did well on the GMAT, but I had some serious disconnects in my story. I was having some real real trouble putting my essays together, as well as a complete application. I applied to 3 schools, and each application was more daunting than the one before. The word limits were too constraining in my opinion. How was I supposed to fit my entire life story into 500-1000 words? How was I supposed to stand-out from the rest of the crowd? What should I even write about? What makes me special? Jenifer helped me do just that. Jenifer, ...
