P&Q Consultant Reviews

  • Sarah Helped Me Nail Wharton's Essays
    2 years ago
    Sarah was an incredible thought partner throughout my entire application process, especially the essays. I couldn't have crafted such a compelling narrative without brainstorming with Sarah. She was committed in understanding my background & got to know my story well enough that she could point out relevant examples to help me make a pithy point. As a Wharton alum, Sarah was particularly helpful in tailoring my essays to fit their expectations. As a result, I was accepted to 100% of the MBA programs I applied to & will be attending Wharton in the Fall

  • Amazing Consultant!
    2 years ago
    Sarah was great to work with - she really helped to take my applications to the next level. She is deeply knowledgeable about what schools are looking for and how to craft your 'story' to not only properly reflect your background, but also to sell you as much as possible. Working with Sarah was a very smooth experience always helping me to stay on track and readily available to offer support whenever needed. I definitely believe that my applications would have been far weaker without her input!

  • Accepted To My Top Schools!
    4 years ago
    Sarah was an instrumental part of my MBA application process. More than a consultant, she was a thought partner and someone who was truly invested in seeing me succeed. Sarah pushed me to be introspective and pinpoint elements that best represented my true self. She supported me every step of the way from story ideation, and resume revisions, to most importantly, nailing down the essays. She has a unique gift for highlighting the best elements of an individual and finding creative ways to convey their 'why.' Ultimately if it weren't for Sarah, I would not have had the courage to apply this upcoming application cycle. Largely because of her support and constant encouragement, I was able to secure acceptances from multiple T10 schools, one of ...

  • Sarah Is The Reason I Was Accepted To HBS!
    5 years ago
    I can't thank Sarah enough for her invaluable help in helping me craft the perfect application for HBS, my dream school, as well as several other programs. I began working with Sarah believing that my 'story' was fairly generic. Through weekly phone calls and exercises, Sarah was able to guide me through an incredibly introspective deep dive into my key experiences and accomplishments. From our discussions, I was ultimately able to craft a compelling story and well-defined goals that I otherwise wouldn't have explored. Sarah never wrote for me, but she continuously pushed me each draft to go deeper and question my actions and career choices further until my essays were truly reflective of me. In addition to my essays, Sarah helped me completely revamp my ...
