A different approach to consulting

Admissions consulting has become a big business. To stay competitive, many firms have scaled, spending thousands on marketing and hiring newbie consultants to keep up with demand. They tout their size and experience, but does a firm with 700 clients care if you get into your dream school? And how much true experience does a part-time coach actually have? This is why we have stayed small. We only take on a handpicked few highly driven candidates. We ensure that you get the personalized attention you deserve and work tirelessly to give you the best shot at success. In return, we get glowing referrals. It really is win-win.

Unrivaled commitment & flexibility

Applying to business school while working a busy job is no easy task. Inspiration strikes unexpectedly. Writer’s block sneaks up at the worst moment. Your recommender texts you at 10:30pm with questions you can’t answer. Don’t worry — we have you covered. We work days, nights, weekends, and holidays. We take the time to talk through your crisis of confidence or the last-minute doubts. And yes, we even answer late-night texts.

Creative Coaching

Unless you recently cured cancer, your essays can’t just check the box. They need to stand out. You have to showcase your strengths without sounding arrogant, but also be vulnerable without going full-out “TMI”. As an award-winning writer, author, and storyteller, Justin is a master craftsman of the written word. His nuanced understanding of narrative structure and character development will help you transform preliminary ideas and scattered anecdotes into compelling essays. He’ll never email you the “company template” he gives all his clients (it doesn’t exist); rather, he works closely with you as a collaborator to identify the right material for your essay, and then assist you in expressing it in the most compelling way.

Integrity

Let’s face it: the admissions consulting industry can be like the insurance industry — preying on your fears to generate sales. We refuse to play that game. We were founded on the belief that MBA candidates deserve honest, principled guidance. We don’t cut corners, and never push you to apply to safety schools to boost our stats. We offer flexible packages to ensure you only pay for what you need. And if we think your essay needs a little more oomph, or that you’d really nail your interview with one more prep session, we’ll put in the extra hours — whether or not it means extra pay for us.
