Skyler was a great consultant as we worked on my MBA applications – he was incredibly knowledgable about each school’s process and was very responsive. I applied R2 to four M7 schools, interviewed at 2 and was accepted to HBS! I highly recommend working with Skyler.
Skyler was a fantastic partner in MBA application prep. From providing deep feedback on materials to helping draw out my story in more detail, his attention and consideration were high quality and made a huge difference in my confidence and preparedness.
In addition, Skyler was well-versed in how social sector professionals can frame their experience in a way that B School adcoms can understand, which is key if you’re coming from a non-traditional background!
Would highly recommend Skyler to anyone considering MBA coaching – five stars all around.
Working with Skyler was the single most valuable decision I made in my MBA journey and without his help I would not be attending an M7.
From the outset, he was instrumental in identifying key gaps in my extracurricular profile and helped me proactively build my resume in that area. He has a deep understanding of what top programs look for beyond just numbers, and helped me craft a compelling, authentic narrative from my background that made me a competitive applicant
Despite beginning my application prep early, unexpected health and personal challenges pushed my applications into Round 3 and delayed my ability to take the required tests. When my GMAT score didn’t hit the mark, he helped me pivot to a different test where I ended up performing much better, allowing me to stay competitive in a tough application cycle.
His essay feedback was consistently insightful and actionable. Interview prep with him was equally strong; he knows how to prepare you for the range of styles across programs.
Skyler was responsive, patient, and always made time to check in—especially when I was feeling anxious or unsure. If you’re serious about getting into a top MBA program and want someone who will not only optimize your application (for both acceptance and funding) but also guide you with honesty, empathy, and informed strategy—look no further!
Working with Skyler was hands-down the best decision I made during the MBA application process. His guidance was thoughtful, strategic, and deeply personalized every step of the way. Thanks to his support, I was admitted to Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Chicago Booth—with a full-ride scholarship. Skyler helped me craft a compelling narrative that brought out my authentic voice and vision in a way that resonated with each school. Beyond his deep knowledge of the admissions landscape, what really set Skyler apart was his kindness, responsiveness, and calm presence. He made a daunting process feel manageable. I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re serious about your MBA goals, work with Skyler.
Skyler was instrumental in helping me craft my story and piece seemingly disparate activities into a cohesive narrative that helped me stand out in my applications. The thought and care he brought to working together were truly unparalleled—I was especially impressed at how he struck a balance between a coach and a thought partner. If you’re deciding how to put your best foot forward in the MBA process, go with Skyler!
I worked with Skyler to craft my MBA application and was thoroughly impressed by his ability to help me tell my story in a meaningful way. He supported me every step of the journey from college selection, essay editing, and interview prep. Even when I got stressed out from the process, he was always there to help with a smile. Without his help, I don’t think I would have made it into the two M7 schools I applied to. If you’re looking for someone to highlight your strengths, craft your story, and hype you up in the admissions process, I can’t recommend Skyler highly enough!
I highly recommend Skyler to anyone applying to graduate school. His personalized guidance and expertise were invaluable in helping me craft a strong application that showcased my unique story. Skyler’s feedback was insightful, encouraging, and always on point, from refining essays to preparing for interviews. He was incredibly responsive and genuinely invested in my success. If you’re looking for a consultant who will help you put your best foot forward, Skyler is the perfect choice!
Skyler is the epitome of cool, calm, and collected, all the traits you’d want in a coach/consultant during the highly-stressful MBA application process. I was working on an extremely abbreviated timeline and Skyler wasted no time in jumping in to help. I would sometimes text him 10+ questions at a time and he would thoughtfully answer each and every one within a couple hours (and frequently within minutes). Even on a very accelerated timeline, Skyler knew how to help me reflect more deeply on my experiences to tell more compelling stories, ultimately helping me land at my dream MBA program. If you are someone who is easily stressed out, Skyler is a fantastic coach for you. No matter how anxious or riled up I got, Skyler’s feathers were never ruffled—he always stayed focused on the task at hand, helping me find a path forward, despite how murky or overwhelming the situation may have seemed. Thank you, Skyler!
I cannot recommend Skyler highly enough! From the very beginning of my MBA application journey, Skyler was an absolute game-changer. He provided invaluable guidance, personalized advice, and unwavering support throughout the entire process. Skyler’s expertise in understanding what top MBA programs are looking for helped me craft a compelling application that truly highlighted my strengths and unique story. Skyler’s attention to detail was impeccable—he helped me refine my essays, prep for interviews, and even navigate tricky application questions with confidence. He and his team were always available to answer my questions and provided feedback that was both constructive and encouraging. If you’re serious about getting into a top MBA program, working with Skyler is the best decision you can make. He is simply amazing!
