  • Kelly Goes Above & Beyond: A Personal, Insightful, & Impactful Admissions Counselor
    3 months ago
    Kelly was an absolute game-changer in my MBA application journey. From the very beginning, she made herself available whenever I needed her, creating a supportive environment where I felt truly heard and comfortable. Her personable nature made the entire process much less daunting, and her dedication was clear—she never shied away from going above and beyond. I was particularly impressed by her thoughtful guidance when I was contemplating applying to a "reach" school. Kelly went the extra mile, consulting her colleagues to ensure she was giving me the best possible advice, and even managed to gather insights that simply weren't available online. This personalized approach helped me gain confidence and made all the difference in my decision-making. What truly stood out was the way Kelly took the ...

  • Kelly Is Amazing
    11 months ago
    As a military guy, I was very intimidated by the MBA admissions process. Having Kelly in my corner was invaluable; she guided me through the essay and resume process to ensure I put forward the best product. She is incredibly kind and giving, and I am very grateful for not only her help with my application, but for being a sounding board for me and providing candid and caring feedback. If you need someone to help you with your applications, you should start and stop your search with Kelly.

  • Working With Kelly!!
    2 years ago
    It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kelly Wilson. She helped me submit the best version of myself and got a full scholarship with a stipend on a top 20 school. Given my profile and stats I wouldn't have been able to do it without her. After the initial chat I felt like I was working with someone with deep knowledge of the industry and extensive experience within the admissions committee. I was insecure about my profile but she showed me that was not the case. Even though Kelly and I had only 3 weeks to work on all my applications with her help, responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile I was able to apply to all the schools I had my sights on. I am happy ...
