P&Q Consultant Reviews

Excellent Experience With Julia

3 years ago

I worked with Julia on an hourly basis, focusing on my applications for two of the four schools I applied to in Round 2. She was instrumental in helping me reflect on my experiences and accomplishments, craft my story, and explain why an MBA and why these schools would help me reach my goals in a concise and compelling way. From initial brainstorming conversations, a thorough resume review, and partnership throughout the essay-writing process, Julia allowed me to take my applications to another level and feel confident I was putting my best foot forward. I was able to apply Julia's guidance to my applications for the other two schools as well and reach a great outcome in the end -- interview invitations to all four ...

From initial brainstorming conversations, a thorough resume review, and partnership throughout the essay-writing process, Julia allowed me to take my applications to another level and feel confident I was putting my best foot forward. I was able to apply Julia’s guidance to my applications for the other two schools as well and reach a great outcome in the end — interview invitations to all four schools and acceptance to Tuck and Darden. Julia is a fantastic partner to have in the application process and I highly recommend working with her!

I am glad to have found Julia in my application process very early on. The initial part of introspection to get to your origin story can be daunting but Julia made it seem much easier. She heard all my stories and helped me to decide which ones to include in my essays. I'm extremely grateful to her for the n number of iterations we had to go through to get our final story out.

Great Admissions Consultant

I am so glad to have found Julia Brady and Judith Silverman from Fortuna Admissions. I have contacted 3-4 different companies, and Fortuna was the only place that willingly connected me with one of its former clients. She really connected with my life story and helped me see the best approach to tackling the application process. Thanks to her efforts, I was accepted to both Wharton and Haas.

Exceptional Service

4 years ago

I worked with Julia Brady and Judith Silverman and they both did an exceptional job of helping me navigate through the application process of Wharton MBA program. Julia was very knowledgeable about the process and made sure everything was done correctly with a keen eye on details. As a cardiovascular surgeon, I needed Julia's business school-focused overview of the application as well as advice on key components of the test-taking strategies. She was a great resource and a sounding board for structuring my vision of the candidate that I wanted Wharton to recognize. I was accepted to Wharton for my EMBA just a few weeks ago.
