  • Highly Recommend - Tiffany Is The BEST
    2 years ago
    Tiffany made the entire application process feel far less daunting and actually FUN. It was a true joy speaking with her each week and having her help craft my story. She was incredibly effective in assisting with my application process, and I am confident that she played an integral role in me getting into all three schools I applied to (HBS, GSB, and Wharton). I highly recommend her to anyone applying to school - she is there throughout the entire process and achieves real results.

  • Truly Gets To Know You, Then Helps You Succeed
    2 years ago
    Working with Tiffany was a great experience, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for that expert help in crafting the best application to truly stand out! I was a reapplicant for both HBS and Wharton, having been rejected without interviews the prior year. This time around - with Tiffany's help and coaching - I received interviews with both and am enrolling at Wharton this August. Tiffany took a tremendous amount of time to really get to know me (sometimes our calls felt like therapy sessions - in a good way!) and she helped me pull together the right story to highlight my background, experiences, and interests. She pushed me on my essays and provided actionable and tactical feedback. We did several interview prep sessions ...

  • Reapplicant, Previously Rejected By Both Schools, Now Accepted At Stanford GSB & Harvard (HBS) With The Help Of Tiffany
    2 years ago
    Well, Tiffany is simply F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C. Seriously, look no further. She is THE BEST. I worked with Tiffany as a reapplicant. Last year, on my first application, I worked with another MBA admission consultant and I applied to two schools: GSB and HBS -- was rejected at both without an interview. This year, I applied with Tiffany to only these same 2 schools and was accepted at both GSB and HBS (will be attending the GSB). For many reasons, Tiffany was a crucial part in showing the best version of myself. First, Tiffany seeks to understand you holistically. She'll ask about various facets of your life and understand everything about your way before discussing the essay. My previous consultant was suggesting my essay draft without barely knowing me... ...

  • Wonderful, Caring, & Thoughtful
    3 years ago
    Tiffany was a joy to work with and helped me throughout a very long application, waitlist, and eventual admission process, sticking with me until the very end. I'm incredibly grateful she was referred to me. Unlike a previous consultant, she went above and beyond to understand me and my story in order to holistically assess how I ought to position my applications.

    I cannot recommend Tiffany enough. Her process was truly amazing. She really took the time to get to know me and my story—Forced me to dig deep, uncover what motivated me and helped bring out my most authentic self in my applications. She’s honest, straightforward, knows what she’s doing, and deeply cares about her clients. Look no further!

  • Highly Recommend - Tuck Admit!
    5 years ago
    Tiffany is an incredible guide, partner, and champion during the MBA application process! She is passionate about helping her clients harness their true and full potential which is evident from the first conversation until acceptance (and beyond). Her approach and feedback can be demanding, but while she can be tough she is fair, objective, and always motivating. I really enjoyed moving through the application process with her. She took the time to get to know me beyond what I liked, where I studied, and what I’ve done – she developed a deep understanding of who I am, the transformational experiences that made me who I am, and how an MBA could best equip me to make an impact in the future. I was able to ...

  • Thankful Kellogg Admit & Attendee
    5 years ago
    Tiffany was beyond helpful throughout the MBA application process, but it was as much of a delight getting to know Tiffany as it was working with her. I strongly recommend the assistance Tiffany provided throughout the application process in each phase. Throughout every step, Tiffany went above and beyond to help me frame and polish my story, but even more so she helped me to be authentically me and helped frame that authenticity in a way that gave me my best shot. At the beginning of the process, Tiffany really took the time to get to know me as a person to help me be true to myself throughout the process, challenging me to consider what makes me…well me. This was not a calculated one-way ...

  • Admitted to MIT Sloan & Kellogg - Highly Recommend Tiffany!
    5 years ago
    I started working with Tiffany in July 2018 for Round 1 applications. We kicked off the process with a series of discussions, where she took ample time to get to know exactly who I am. I felt that at the end of the process, she knew exactly what makes me tick, what I value, and who I am at the deepest levels. As a result, when it came time to write my essays, Tiffany was able to guide me in a direction that would expose my best self to the admissions committees. I felt that she was personally invested in my success, and made me feel informed and comfortable every step of the way. I can't thank her enough for helping me get admitted ...

  • Admitted to the GSB, HBS, MIT, CBS, Kellogg, and Haas
    5 years ago
    Tiffany has two incredible superpowers. She possesses an innate ability to listen to your words and hear the true meaning of your message. This allows her to help you accurately and honestly present your compelling narrative. Additionally, Tiffany has real-world experience on an MBA admissions team. She is not guessing when she gives you advice. Tiffany knows what is going through the minds of the people evaluating your application. This beautiful combination equips her with a skillset to expertly guide you through the tumultuous journey that is the MBA application process. When I started researching business schools a friend told me, "You want someone that has experience on the other side of this process. No matter how much money you spend now, it will be ...

  • CBS Admit - Highly Recommend Working With Tiffany!
    5 years ago
    I HIGHLY recommend working with Tiffany in the MBA application process. Talk about someone who knows her stuff!! Even though I had quality work experience, education, and life experiences, Tiffany critically helped me SHAPE how to communicate - myself, my life story, my work experience, everything - effectively and in a way that culminated in a compelling, well-rounded story. You pay an "all-in-one" fee, and then Tiffany devotes incredible time and energy to you. She makes herself incredibly available and works with heart and immense knowledge. The essay writing process was daunting, and through my lengthy and involved conversations with Tiffany I ended up writing essays that I felt truly proud of. I knew I would never have written those essays without her. Beyond the ...

  • Admitted To Chicago Booth // Amazingly Reliable Partner For The Whole MBA Application Process & Beyond
    5 years ago
    I began working with Tiffany in February 2018, and from start to finish, she was an incredible partner to guide me through the ins and outs of the MBA application process. Tiffany makes a concerted effort to get to know the real you behind the application to help you uncover your story, and how that story will translate successfully to an application. As the process moved forward, Tiffany was incredible with any step, providing regular touch points and opportunities to discuss questions or concerns. Her method fully integrates regular iteration into the application process, including essays, through which I was able to successfully craft an application that yielded an acceptance to Chicago Booth. I would recommend Tiffany to anyone looking to begin the MBA app ...

  • Admitted to MIT
    6 years ago
    Without a doubt, I would not be in the position I am in today without the help of Tiffany. I came into the business school application process this year as a reapplicant. I had attempted to apply 2 years ago without a consultant and ended with 9 rejections from top-tiered schools. This year, I opted to give it my best shot and hired Tiffany. From start to finish she supported me in every way. She helped me to craft a story that was authentic to who I am. As an applicant with a non-traditional background and a non-traditional post-mba goal, I always feared that hiring a consultant would muddle my voice and push me to fit into a certain MBA category (Consultant/I-Bank/etc.). Tiffany did not ...

  • Admitted to GSB/Wharton/Kellogg
    6 years ago
    Tiffany is such a delight to work with. Not only does her professional experience and background make her very qualified, but she also offers a level of heart and genuine care that I think makes all the difference as an admissions consultant. I was admitted round 2 to three of my top schools with her support. I found it very valuable to talk through my thoughts/concerns/ideas throughout the process, and having someone who knew the 'inside' was invaluable in crafting my application and prepping for my interviews. The application process itself can be stressful and emotional and having someone there every step of the way was incredibly helpful. I was a bit insecure during the process with a lower than average GMAT score (720) ...

  • Admitted to the GSB in the third round!
    6 years ago
    After receiving my PhD in engineering and working in the industry for five years, I decided to apply to business school. My GMAT was 720 and my GPA was 3.8. Considering my background as a middle eastern and being a US permanent resident, I had high hopes of getting into one of the M7 b-schools. Before I started my applications in the first round, my friends who got into HBS recommended me to hire a consultant. Having a PhD and applying for grad school before, I did not see the need to do so. I applied to best schools in the first round including HBS, Wharton, Booth, and MIT without a consultant. I got dinged from all without an interview! Quitting is not in my ...
