Ian is an excellent coach and I recommend him to anyone looking to break into consulting! Ian wasted no time getting right into the training and helped me quickly identify weaknesses and strengths I wasn't aware of. He was especially detail oriented and after a few sessions I saw rapid improvement in my performance. With his help, I passed every single interview I participated in and received an offer from my top choice in consulting, BCG. You cannot go wrong with Ian!

Jeremy was so helpful throughout the process! He was really attuned to all it takes to be successful and helped me develop strategies for everything required to succeed. I passed every interview I participated in with Jeremy's help!

From start to finish, Kerry is absolutely incredible to work with. She engages at every step of the journey. She is highly responsive, willing to talk through application sticking points, and gets to the heart of what will make your story both compelling and true to you. If you are a candidate with what feels like a "non-traditional" background, Kerry will know exactly how to help your application stand out. 10/10 would recommend working with Kerry!

I had a mock interview session with Jasmine a few days prior to my GSB interview and it made the biggest difference in how my interview went. Jasmine is super organized and challenged me with questions that were really similar to the actual interview. She is also very friendly and engaging, which gave me the positive boost I needed prior to the interview. 10/10 value for money!!

Spencer is the kind of mentor who gives you more than just advice. He gives you the clarity, support, and tools you need to move forward with confidence. From our very first conversation, I felt heard and understood. He creates a space where you can speak openly about your goals, your doubts, and anything else that is on your mind. He listens closely and always responds with care and insight. With Spencer’s help, I was able to secure a product manager role right after finishing university. But more importantly, he helped me build the skills and mindset I needed to do well in the role. He does not just point you in a direction. He helps you understand how to navigate challenges and make smart decisions. He teaches you how to think for yourself, and that is something I will carry with me for a long time. What sets Spencer apart is how deeply he cares. He follows up, remembers the details, and brings real energy to every conversation. He celebrates progress and encourages you to keep going when things get hard. He is fully present, and it is clear that your growth matters to him. If you want a mentor who will invest in you, push you to grow, and stand by you through the ups and downs, Spencer is someone you will be glad to have in your corner. He has made a real difference in my life, and I believe he can do the same for many others.

Scott was super knowledgeable about CBS and really wanted me to succeed. He had great tips and was available for questions!

Ferdinand provided a great HBS mock that helped to prepare me. I appreciated the time he spent going through my application and the detailed questions he asked. Highly recommend!

Laura was an invaluable asset to me, from June 2024 to June 2025. I came from a very niche music industry background. Saying I'm a non-traditional candidate would be an understatement. That's why I chose Laura! And, with an undergrad GPA of ~2.8, a sinister case of ADHD, a weak quant background, and applying on the heels of a gap year, the hurdles I faced in my MBA application process were significant. Her strategic expertise was critical in navigating the GMAT/GRE wormhole, ADHD accommodations, and school selection. BUT, where Laura proved most valuable was helping me understand that the things I saw as application *deficits* were in fact, application *distinctions*. I saw things like my age, career background, undergrad institution, etc as negatives... but Laura lead me to the promised land of perceiving those things as the very reasons why a program should accept me. And perception is reality! Beyond core application aspects, Laura supported me throughout the entire admissions cycle, transforming my resume to properly highlight my niche work experience in a way that would make sense to AdComs, offering guidance on communications, recommenders & rec packets, and even a crucial last minute pivot to the Haas EWMBA program. Her responsiveness, empathy, and ability to fit my square peg story into the round holes of the MBA application process, make her an exceptional partner for a non-traditional candidate like myself, and hopefully you too!

Madeline was amazing!! She really knows how to get things done and keeps you super on top of things! She helped to brainstorm my story and was amazing and being detail-oriented. I highly recommend!

Kevin was amazing to work with. He is so positive, empathetic and I could tell a genuine cheerleader for my success. I highly recommend his coaching because he will be able to help work through your story, inject positivity into the journey and is super easy-going!
