Looking back, I’m so glad that I chose Debbie to help me with my MBA journey. During my search for a consultant, I often felt that I was not good enough for my dream school as well as my other top targets; however, Debbie had a more optimistic approach. Having been denied at my target schools once in the past, I was worried, but she was able to look at the positives and always brought it back to my strengths. Through this process of re-applying, I can confidently say that Debbie truly cares.

She is detail oriented, on time, friendly, and constructive. She is extremely accessible and easy to work with. Even though I always had a lot of questions, she was patient enough to answer them. Through her support, I was able to craft my re-applicant story and received admission at my dream school. She was so thrilled when I got in, and I could tell how much she was invested in my success.

She would even jump on Zoom calls with me to conduct mock interviews. She is extremely honest in her assessments, and that made me fine tune my approach to become a better interviewee. For those of you considering an MBA consultant, I would easily go with Debbie. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that asks me.

Truly, I owe a debt of gratitude to Debbie!

Katy was highly recommended to me by two close friends who are HBS students. She exceeded my expectations throughout every facet of the application process, and thanks to her help, I was accepted into my dream program, the MBA/MBA dual degree program at Wharton/Lauder, and even received a generous scholarship!

As someone with a non-traditional professional background, including a career gap and a salary decrease from moving to Latin America, I was concerned about communicating my narrative in a concise but effective way. From the first meeting, Katy seemed to understand me and through many conversations throughout the process helped craft every element of my application to highlight my fit with the program.

Without hesitation, I highly recommend Katy for anyone seeking help with their MBA application process.

I decided to hire a consultant because I was conscious of my low GPA and wanted to increase the odds of admission. That was a solid decision, as Nisha helped me to reduce greatly the stress levels during admission and to focus on the GMAT and my work. I also had a completely wrong vision on what should be included in the essay and Nisha helped me to edit my story to make it more convenient for schools. I‘m very satisfied with Nisha’s assistance and I would definitely recommend her services, as she is a world class specialist and she greatly increased the odds of my admission. And yes, I’ve received and admit.

It took just a few minutes into my free consultation to realize that working with Rachel would be the best way to help me navigate through the complexity of the application process. Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable about all of my target schools and gave me tailored advice throughout the brainstorming and writing stages. But, perhaps most importantly, Rachel was there as my cheerleader from the beginning to the end. She was always available to speak, and she consistently came prepared with innovative ideas to make my application shine. By the end, Rachel felt more like a good friend, than a business school coach, and I look forward to staying in touch! I can't imagine going through this process without her.

I started the process to apply for MBA's around August 2022. I had no idea how intricate and complicated this process was when I started, but when once I started working with Gavriella, she made everything much clearer and simpler. I graduated from a non traditional business major, so this whole MBA application seemed a bit foreign to me.
Thankfully, she was a savior; she helped me with picking the schools right for me, writing essays, editing applications, and even negotiating scholarships. Most importantly, she knew how to craft a good personal statement and story. I didn't have the best GPA or test score, but my purpose and story were strong enough that I was accepted to all the schools I applied for and received a full ride scholarship to all of them except 1! Fortunately, my top choice was one of them and I will be headed there this Fall (full ride + stipend). I can honestly say that having Gavriella on my court was a complete gamechanger. I am so thankful for her help and glad that it all worked out!

Katy was an absolute pleasure to work with! I began the application process with my sights set on Kellogg’s MMM program, although at the time I felt like I was having trouble synthesizing my post-college experiences into one cohesive story. Katy encouraged me to take a step back, think about my background and evaluate my motivations behind why I chose the jobs I worked in, the projects I took on, the extracurriculars I joined, and my post MBA goals. She then helped me identify the common threads that linked these different experiences and tell a story that showed a strong logical progression from one experience to the next, all while highlighting the most salient experiences for each program I applied to. Throughout the seemingly dozens of essay revisions I sent back to her, she consistently helped me sharpen what began as long (often disorganized) first drafts into crisp, concise essays which were clear in messaging and easy to follow. At the interview stage, our multiple hours of interview prep further helped me clarify my messaging, phrase my answers correctly and relax my attitude so that the interviews felt more like a conversation. She is razor-sharp, refreshingly candid, and a great advocate who is always in your corner. I can’t imagine how I would have gotten into the MMM program without her, and I can’t recommend her enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Krista during the 2022-2023 application season. She supported me through the essay writing, interview, and decision-making process. When I think back on my MBA application journey, one of the best calls I made was hiring Krista.

There are a few qualities that make Krista stand out:

1) Krista is a great editor – Krista had an uncanny ability to transform essays without changing the underlying tone or meaning. Some of my initial drafts were vague and not specific enough. Krista rejiggered them and made them more concrete. When my initial drafts were strong, Krista added details here and there that really pushed them to the next level. She would turn “solid” essays into “exceptional” ones.

2) Krista’s timeliness – I paid for Krista’s hourly services and was told that work would be returned within a 2-day timeframe. In the nine months that I spent with her, she never missed this window once. I knew when I sent in an essay, résumé, or org chart that it would be returned ASAP. In some cases Krista would even get back to me within 24 hours. I was particularly impressed by this because I knew she was juggling multiple clients at once. She did a great job of making each candidate a priority and getting back to people in a timely fashion.

3) Krista’s breadth of knowledge about MBA admissions – After my applications were submitted, throughout the interview phase and beyond, I would frequently ask Krista one off questions about next steps (e.g. what to wear to an interview, whether to do an interview virtually or in-person, how the employment verification process works, etc.). She was able to answer every question thoroughly, accurately, and promptly. She would even go above and beyond and provide me with links to resources off the Internet or at mbaMission that would give me a more in-depth explanation to a question that she had already answered. If I was in doubt, I knew Krista would be able to help.

Most importantly, though, with Krista, I never felt that I was going at this journey alone. The MBA application process is draining, mentally, physically, and emotionally. While it can be helpful to have family and friends there to support you, in my view, it is even more critical to have an expert who is well-versed with MBA admissions so that you can feel as prepared as possible for anything that may come your way. I felt that I had all of that in Krista and more.

In the end, I was admitted to four of the M7 programs, including my #1 choice: Wharton HCM. I know that it would not have been possible without Krista’s support. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for expert help and guidance throughout the MBA application process, choose Krista. She was faultless from start to finish.
