Sarah Rothschild

Sarah’s advice was indispensable as I crafted a compelling narrative for the admissions essays. She took the time to get to know me and understand my story, which helped her offer tailored insights. She helped me sharpen hone my essays to showcase my unique skills and background. I am so grateful for her help during the application process. For reference, my background is: White Male, US Military Veteran, above a 700 GMAT, above a 3.5 GPA, and was accepted to Harvard, Booth, Ross, and Darden.

Sarah was instrumental in helping me craft my stories for my Stanford GSB application. She has an exceptional ability to listen deeply, draw out meaningful experiences, and help shape them into authentic and compelling narratives.

Working with Sarah was an absolute game-changer. Her sharp editorial eye and deep understanding of what top business schools look for helped me transform my essays from decent drafts into compelling, memorable narratives. She has an incredible ability to identify the core message in each story and bring it to life with clarity, structure, and impact. Sarah didn’t just correct grammar—she pushed me to reflect, dig deeper, and articulate my goals with authenticity. Her feedback was always honest, thoughtful, and actionable. I’m certain that my essays stood out because of her guidance, and I’m so grateful for her support.

Sarah was a pleasure to work with; she helped me rework and reformat multiple personal experience essays for my M7 and T15 applications. She has a way with words, taking 500 and 600 word essays and slicing them down to their required word counts and in the process adding to their emotional impact. I would highly recommend working with her for your writing needs!

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah in crafting and refining my stories for my MBA applications. Sarah’s expertise in essay brainstorming and development was particularly helpful in highlighting my stories in the applications. I am ecstatic to be heading to an M7 program in the fall. Highly recommend Sarah / Avanti Prep for MBA prospective applicants!

I had a fantastic experience working with Sarah on my MBA applications, particularly for Booth and Stanford. Despite the tight timeline, she quickly understood my background and goals, helping me refine my story in a way that was both authentic and compelling. I also had a discussion with her regarding Kellogg’s essay problem statements, which helped me structure my thoughts more effectively.

Sarah’s efficiency and storytelling expertise were invaluable—she provided clear, actionable feedback that strengthened my essays while ensuring they remained in my voice. She was incredibly strategic in helping me highlight my unique experiences, making the application process much smoother and more structured.

Thanks to her guidance, I received an interview invite from Kellogg and Stanford (!!), with final outcomes TBD, and I remain optimistic about my other applications. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for an admissions consultant who is not only insightful and efficient but also deeply invested in helping applicants craft a compelling narrative under tight deadlines.

I worked with Sarah for HBS, Booth, LBS, and a few other schools. To answer first, I got in most of them including HBS!

I think I had a few good fragmented stories, but Sarah really helped bring it to life. I mean you have an English professor who’s helping you one-to-one! Her easy-going personality and humor also helps making the interaction fun.

MBA prep is painful… but I’m glad I chose to work with Sarah to ease that pain. Thank you Sarah!
