That is the best advice someone gave me before starting my application journey. I had shopped around and decided to go with them because of their professionalism and structure. It was definitely the right fit for me. They were instrumental in providing a structure, schedule and strategy to the process of putting my applications together. My consultant was invaluable in providing critical and very insightful feedback as well as pushing me to meet tight deadlines. Every single comment or insight my consultant gave to me was so on point; I truly believe it made me a stronger applicant. The invaluable advice went further than just the applications. A week before my HBS interview I had my mock interview and my consultant told me: “If you say this you won’t get in. You are not prepared”. Together we dissected my approach and she helped me realize that not only do you need to be a strong applicant, you also have to be able to concisely, confidently, and consistently portray that image. At the end, I ended up getting into my school of choice, HBS – with a scholarship – and I couldn’t be happier.
