Testimonials

I wanted to thank you again for the advice you’ve given me over the past four years (that we’ve worked together to develop and strengthen my business school candidacy). I cannot express how excited I am to be studying at a place like MIT Sloan. My applications were far better and my interviews went smoother as a result of your guidance, so thank you. I hope to have the chance to meet you sometime in person.”

Wishing you all the best,

MIT Sloan Admit

I am writing to express my gratitude for all the help and support you provided me with throughout my business school application process. Working with you has been an incredible experience, and I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me.

From the very beginning, you took the time to understand my goals and aspirations, and your guidance helped me to stay on track and focused. Your advice on how to approach each application, from crafting my essays to preparing for interviews, was invaluable. You challenged me to think deeply about my experiences and motivations, and your feedback helped me to refine my message and present myself in the best possible light.

Thanks to your guidance and support, I had the opportunity to choose between business schools – something I never imagined. And not to mention the scholarships! Most importantly, the work we did together increased my confidence enormously, and that has been invaluable.

Once again, thank you for everything. I will keep in touch and let you know how my business school experience goes.”

Best regards,

Yale SOM MBA Admit

I know I’ve said this many times before but truly, thank you for all your coaching, support, and mentorship over the last 1.5 years. I’m so glad my friend introduced us, and working with you has really changed how I view myself. I know things are so unpredictable, but down the road, if you’re ever in Palo Alto, would love to meet you in person.”

Thank you so much for all your help this year, as you helped me reflect internally on the type of person I want to become. That process not only helped me with my applications, but will also influence my decisions for the rest of my life.”

Thank you for helping me gain admission to my #1 choice MBA program: Columbia Business School! I am thrilled to be going there, and this opportunity is a dream come true.”

Delighted,

Columbia Business School Admit

2020 wasn’t easy for enough reasons already, but you have made mine so incredibly easier. I don’t think I could have gotten through applications without your unwavering support and encouragement. Regardless of the outcome, I can’t thank you enough for everything.”

Stanford GSB MBA Admit

Thank you sincerely for your support and guidance throughout the year. Our work together meant more to me than an application to school. You encouraged me to look inside myself in a way that I think I deeply needed. Through our conversations and guided reflection, I became re-empowered in my life, my decisions, and my future. You once described my life as a mosaic – I can’t wait to add the next tile! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”

Stanford GSB Admit

Thank you for all of your incredible support in the MBA application process. I truly don’t think I could have had the results I did without you. And I certainly would not have had the same peace of mind. Throughout the process you were so thoughtful, precise, kind, and thorough. You are an amazing listener and were critical in helping me find and articulate my own voice.”

Stanford GSB Admit

Words really cannot express my gratitude to you. In finding you, I could not have asked for a better advisor, confidant, and advocate in this process. Your patience was comforting and your gentle pushes were just what the doctor ordered. You encouraged me to confront my beliefs and my aspirations in an uncomfortable, but incredibly safe environment.

You challenged me to dig deeper and unearth aspects of me that I keep hidden, but that the world deserves to see. You never wavered in your commitment to me and my application. Your willingness to take the late or early phone call to accommodate me was so generous. I really cannot imagine going through this process without you. Your direction, belief, and high-bar drove me to bring my best self to work with you each day.

Attending Stanford has really been a lifelong dream of mine. And to this day, I have never really thought that dream was attainable, but you put me in the best position possible to achieve it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help in getting me this far. I hope that our journey together is just beginning and that you have many more pearls of wisdom to bestow upon me.”

You’ve been an invaluable resource, mentor, and – more than that – an example of kindness and intelligence in my life. Thanks for everything.”

HBS MBA Admit

HBS said to save this card for someone special who helped me along my journey, and I couldn’t think of anyone better. I can’t thank you enough for the past year… It has been a wild ride to say the least. From laughing, to crying, to feeling anxious, frustrated, worried, demoralized, and tired (many nights of insomnia…) to finally feeling elated. There is one thing that is crystal clear – that I couldn’t have done it without you. You’re an absolute wizard at your craft and a genius at storytelling. You were more than an advisor, you were my teacher, therapist, life coach, friend, mentor and greatest support system. Thank you for always believing in me and giving me the confidence to succeed. I will be forever grateful for you and all that you have given me.”

Sincerely,

Stanford GSB MBA Admit

Hi Marie, Maureen, & Lisa!

Two friends and I just wanted to share a little update from us! We recently realized that all three of us wouldn’t be here at the GSB without the three of you.

We were in the same T-group during Touchy Feely last spring and were all Arbuckle Fellows this past year together. We were even in the same Lead Labs squad the first quarter as MBA1s! I hosted them for dinner earlier this month and we learned that we all have you three to thank for us being all together in this amazing place.

Little did we know, our journey together at the GSB started long before we even met on campus. We just wanted to share our immense gratitude for your help with not only our applications, but also in our development as people (and now as friends!).”

With gratitude,

Three Stanford MBA Admits

I hope you are well! I just wanted to thank you again for all your advice and the time spent over the last few months guiding me through my business school application process. I really enjoyed working with you as I crafted my application and Lisa’s advice during the mock interview was spot on. Specifically, thank you for keeping me organized amidst all the craziness and for being flexible. I can sincerely say that the experience not only challenged me to think about my story from a fresh lens, but also equipped me with the knowledge to tackle business school and beyond. I would not have been admitted to the Stanford GSB, my dream school, without you, and I truly appreciate it.”

Looking forward to keeping in touch,

Stanford GSB Admit
