Client’s Testimonials

  • “Jeff is the reason I am attending Harvard Business School. Jeff was an incredible resource during the application process. The greatest insight for me was his ability to identify the most relevant parts of my past and so skillfully help me build a compelling narrative. He helped me tie in aspects of my background that I completely overlooked. Jeff not only helped me build a beautiful narrative but coached me through the entire process. I’ve used other popular MBA consultants from the top shops, but what Jeff brings is a level of dedication, originality, commitment, and confidence that is unmatched.”

    -J. (NC- Harvard Business School)

  • "I would not be attending Harvard Business School without Jeff. Full stop. As an applicant with a below average GMAT/GRE and average GPA, I had my work cut out for me when applying to business school. Through numerous calls, brainstorming sessions, and candid feedback, Jeff helped me craft a compelling narrative that highlighted the strengths of my collective life and professional experiences. Jeff’s detailed approach to maximizing every space in the application with thoughtful inputs aligned to my broader story was an incredible value add and, I’m positive, a tremendous separator in a highly competitive application cycle. After application submission, Jeff gave targeted and experience-driven interview preparation that effectively mimicked (and prepared me for) my subsequent interview experiences – another huge value add. In addition to the hard application support he provided, Jeff was simply a joy to work with. Through every step of the highly stressful and seemingly never-ending application process, his wise counsel and continuous support kept me at ease. I truly cannot recommend Jeff enough as an MBA Admissions Consultant. His ability to craft an engaging narrative is unparalleled, a quality that elevates the potential of candidates into the stratosphere, and, almost more importantly, he’s a really great person."

    -S. (PA - HBS)

  • "Jeff was a fantastic resource during the application process. He helped me to create a fulsome and cohesive narrative that I was extremely proud of at the end of the day. Jeff found creative and effective ways to weave together my personal and professional background, passions, and even hobbies. During the process, I had an interviewer comment on how entertaining my essay was to read, which I can thank Jeff for. He made sure that I used every available space in the applications to convey my story. Not only was Jeff able to give guidance on the written applications, but he also provided helpful tips on interview preparation and connected me with former students for advice. Without Jeff’s help, I definitely would not be where I am today."

    -K. (TX - Stanford GSB)

  • "When I first spoke with Jeff, I voiced my concern about applying to the GSB (my dream school) with a below average GPA and GMAT. Despite this, Jeff believed in me. I wouldn’t have gotten into the GSB without Jeff’s guidance, support, and candid feedback throughout the application process. His helped me weave together unique aspects of my upbringing, military experience, and career goals that made my essays powerful. Jeff’s iterative strategy to the essays helped me identify key themes in my life that were instrumental in building a compelling narrative about who I am, what I’ve learned, and who I want to be. I can confidently say that Jeff could be charging much more than he does for such a high-touch, personalized experience. Jeff also coached me through the interview process, going the extra mile to help me knock my interview out of the park! Jeff was my guiding light throughout the stressful and confusing black box that is the elite MBA application process. I will forever be grateful to him for this and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone hoping to craft a powerful application package that will stand out among the crowd. By believing in me, Jeff helped me redefine the trajectory of my life. He’s truly a diamond in the rough of MBA admissions consultants as an expert storyteller, a writing prodigy, and above all a good human being."

    -A. (FL - Stanford GSB)

  • "Working with Jeff was critical to my success in applying to law school. He took the time to get to know me, and his step-by-step writing guide allowed me to unlock my true potential in creating the strongest possible essays. Jeff had the expertise to recognize what stories would be most impactful to incorporate into my personal statement out of all my different experiences and interests, and helped me pair that statement with strong optional essays to form a cohesive narrative. The time we spent together on our weekly calls was essential to both keep me on track and to review the numerous essays I submitted this cycle! I also found the interview prep we did together to be very helpful and effective. I felt particularly well-prepared for the interview with my top-choice school thanks to Jeff’s help. This Fall, I will be attending the top program that I applied to, a dream outcome for me as a non-traditional applicant with statistics that were solidly below this school’s medians. I am extremely thankful to have found such dedicated support and partnership in Jeff throughout this process. "

    -M. (CT - UChicago Law)

  • "I was extremely pleased with Jeff's approach. Immediately, we dove deep into my experiences and inspirations. He helped me refine the strengths and weaknesses of my profile that even I had been oblivious to. Jeff helped me build a narrative that truly reflected my personality and my potential. His positive and encouraging demeanor was also key to helping me through the intense and exhausting application process. Moreover, Jeff as a coach is highly detail-oriented and was extremely patient. He helped me refine standout essays without sacrificing my authentic voice and passions. An example of my growth with Jeff was the feedback provided by Haas, where I had been rejected the previous year. When I received the acceptance this year, thanks to Jeff's coaching, one of the factors the adcom highlighted was the enhanced clarity and thoughtful reflection that drove my essays this time around. Jeff also went above and beyond to prepare me for my interviews. His comprehensive and empathetic approach to my application process helped me put the very best version of myself forward, including acceptance to my top-choice program."

    -S. (Nepal - UChicago Booth)

  • "Deciding to work with Jeff during my MBA admissions process was hands down the best decision I could have made. Jeff is a natural storyteller and was instrumental in helping me use all the parts of my application to paint a more holistic picture of who I am and what's important to me. From the essays all the way down to the 250 character responses, he worked with me to find ways to squeeze every bit of value out of every written response throughout my application so that each part was unique and informative for the admissions officer. His patience during the development phase of the essays helped me identify trends in my decision-making and gave me a better perspective on what I wanted and how to communicate it. Finally, Jeff was an outstanding mock interview partner. He took me through the paces during my interview prep and gave me extremely helpful feedback that I successfully used on interview day. Besides all of that, Jeff is just a phenomenal guy and an absolute pleasure to work with. He's responsive, funny, creative and was a hugely calming force during times when I felt overwhelmed and out of my league. Cannot recommend him highly enough, I wouldn't have made it this far without him."

    -D. (NY - Harvard Business School)

  • "I can confidently say Jeff (Admit Coaching) is the best admission consulting service on the market. Besides competitive pricing, the process that Jeff lays out to originate a candidate’s thesis is unique, original and extremely value-add. When it comes to answering short-answers and writing essays, Jeff provides both a granular and birds-eye view approach that not only helped to create my best written work, but also exponentially improved my overall writing skills. His additional efforts performing final application edits and multiple interview preps with constructive feedback was instrumental in my final top-5 admissions offer. As a final note, Jeff acts as a perfect advisor, supporter, and friend as one goes along this stressful and unexpectedly long process of applying to top-tier MBAs. The above-and-beyond phone calls and discussions outside of reviewing work sets Jeff above other admission consulting services."

    -S. (CA - MIT Sloan)

  • "Jeff's mentorship, guidance, and support made admission to my top-choice schools a reality. His attentiveness and flexibility in the editing and application build process proved crucial to meeting deadlines while managing professional commitments. Given that I had a tight timeline to apply to programs, I appreciated Jeff's focus on efficiency in writing/editing and his advice on prioritization of different lines of effort. When I was surprised by a short-notice fellowship interview offer, Jeff went out of his way to give me an interview prep crash course that contributed greatly to my admission to the fellowship. Jeff helped me tell my story in a compelling and impactful way, and I wouldn't be headed to Harvard Kennedy School without his coaching."

    -N. (FL - Harvard Kennedy School)

  • “Working with Jeff was one of the greatest investments I’ve ever made. Jeff sharpened my storytelling ability. As a non-traditional candidate, I didn’t know how to write about my leadership or goals; Jeff helped to identify my strengths, translate my experiences, and refine my story into a compelling narrative. Jeff was there at every step of the process to provide thought-partnership and feedback. He brought an unparalleled attention to detail not only to my essays, but to my resume, short answer questions, work descriptions, and eventually interview responses; with revision, I crafted what I initially thought were small pieces into compelling arcs in my full narrative. In the end, my application was exactly what I had been hoping for: my story, shared in my voice and words, but in the best possible version. I could not have made it to GSB without Jeff’s help.”

    -A. (IL- Stanford GSB)

  • "Jeff is the reason I'm attending business school at all! He was a true partner throughout the entire application process - from helping to narrow down my list of target schools all the way through interview prep. He worked hand-in-hand with me to take what I initially perceived as disparate personal and professional experiences, goals, and achievements and created a truly compelling narrative highlighting my strengths as an MBA candidate while also maintaining my personal voice. While he always made himself available to answer the questions I had, almost more importantly, he consistently steered me towards the questions I didn't even know I should be asking. I cannot thank him enough for the countless hours he spent guiding me through self-reflection, the crafting my personal stories, and the iterative process of refining my essays. Working with Jeff was the best decision I made during my MBA journey."

    -D. (IL - MIT Sloan)

  • "I can confidently state, without any doubt in my mind, that I would not be headed to the Stanford Graduate School of Business this fall if it wasn't for Jeff. Truthfully, as a non-traditional candidate with a lackluster undergraduate GPA, I didn't originally even consider applying to GSB, as I felt so unqualified that it would have been a waste of time. Through Jeff's caring, conscientious, and comprehensive support, I was able to display a compelling narrative, spanning the arc of my entire life, my family background, and my career, which showed me in my best and truest light. Jeff's service, via general advice, helpful edits, and deep interview preparation, is worth triple the price he charges. I simply cannot thank him enough!"

    -E. (AL - Stanford GSB)

  • "The difference maker! I decided to apply Round 3 rather late and per the recommendation of some friends reached out to Jeff with a tight deadline and little hope. I was shocked to get a quick, friendly response. He was very accommodating, and his plan of attack put me much more at ease. Jeff is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with. He gave me the exact constructive feedback I needed and helped me unlock the best parts of my narrative in both the application and interview processes. There were so many things I would have approached incorrectly if it were not for Jeff. He truly gets the process and understands how adcoms think. By the time I hit submit, I was confident I was putting forth my best application. In the end, I was given a significant scholarship and praised for having ‘such a strong application in Round 3’. I couldn’t have done it without Jeff!"

    -D. (CA - Northwestern Kellogg)

  • "As a non-traditional MBA applicant, I am incredibly lucky to have found Jeff to support me in my admissions journey. From the start, Jeff's step-by-step writing process helped me to shape my story into a compelling narrative. At every stage of the process, Jeff provided me with essential knowledge and helped me to clarify my personal goals and candidate value proposition. Not only did Jeff's approach give me confidence as I completed my application, but it also made the process relatively painless and even fun! I can't recommend Jeff strongly enough; his tactical knowledge and human-centered approach helped me earn admission to my dream school."

    -J. (CA - Stanford GSB)

  • "Jeff is truly your partner during the application process. He provided me with a white-glove service that goes beyond a traditional consultant, and he truly became a coach and a friend. His incredible ability to dive into the details of one's experiences and coach them to turn them into memorable stories that pack a punch yet communicate exactly what makes a candidacy shine truly sets him apart. From storytelling to interview prep, Jeff made sure I was in the best position possible and provided tactical insights and the guidance l needed to be successful. Efficient, knowledgeable and passionate, Jeff undeniably brings the best to his clients and I was so fortunate to have him in my corner."

    -S. (NJ - Stanford GSB)

  • “To this day, I am so thankful that I found Jeff. He peeled back the onion on each of my stories to find those moments that were truly moving. Over the course of three months, we worked tirelessly to keep refining each application and essay. In the end, I successfully applied to 6 top 10 MBA programs. I ended up being accepted to 5 schools (including 3 M7s) and waitlisted at 1 school. One of my interviewers at an M7 told me that they could truly visualize me in the situation I wrote about in my essay. Jeff helped me truly paint a picture that left an impression with admission officers and conveyed my passions and career goals. Overall, I can’t recommend Jeff enough. He is dedicated and encouraging. Through this process, I got into my dream MBA program and made a great friend along the way.”

    -Y. (NY - MIT Sloan)

  • "Jeff provides the most personalized, high-touch coaching. Every week, I felt like he was putting the same effort into my business school application that he would have on his own. In addition to Jeff's exemplary understanding of essay structure and language use, he takes the time to truly get to know each applicant and craft the most compelling story possible. Jeff helped me ensure that every single word of my essay served a purpose. Jeff's coaching is truly what enabled me to get into a top MBA program but it also gave me incredible clarity on my career path. It's like I went in for MBA coaching and walked away with admittance to a top school and a new vision for what I want out of my career and an MBA that was equally as valuable. There is no better coach to work with."

    -M. (IL - Northwestern Kellogg)

  • "From the get-go, Jeff’s professional guidance was invaluable. As it turns out, telling your own story is challenging. Telling it in a compelling way is even harder. Jeff’s services helped me stitch together the pivotal experiences of my life, enabled me to understand how those experiences have shaped my future goals, and helped inform me how business school will get me there. A tall task to sort out. I can truthfully say that Jeff’s services helped me feel 100% confident when I clicked submit, and I’m not sure I would have told my story so effectively without him. I’d recommend Jeff to any of my friends starting the process. "

    -L. (KY - Stanford GSB)

  • "In short - Jeff helped me get into my top choice school, and 75% of the schools I applied to! While he helped with the essay writing process (he is an outstanding writer and editor), what I really valued was the intelligent insight and wargaming Jeff provided. For example, he gave clever advice on how to shape my admissions products in ways that covered gaps I didn't even realize I had, and he gave phenomenal holistic counseling on how to strategize my applications. I'm glad I hired him."

    -M. (UT - MIT Sloan LGO)

  • "Jeff has been an exceptional partner throughout the application process. He adeptly helped me structure my thoughts and ideas into a compelling narrative that highlighted my candidacy. Additionally, he identified and eliminated redundancies and inconsistencies in my writing, significantly enhancing the quality of my application. Most importantly, Jeff has been a good friend, providing words of encouragement during my low moments and helping me regain my confidence!"

    -K. (Japan - HBS)

  • "I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience working with Jeff. Even though I was grinding away at GMAT studying in late August, Jeff was able to help keep me on track with hitting R1 deadlines. Jeff was very flexible and worked to accommodate my schedule and priorities during my application process. Working with Jeff gave me confidence that I would be able to put my best foot forward in my applications all while managing a full time job and GMAT studying. Jeff helped me craft my narrative in my essays and helped make them a focal point in my applications. He takes very close attention to detail and helps you bring out the best in yourself. Going into the application process, I was not confident that I would be accepted to my first choice school. However, after writing compelling essays with Jeff's guidance, I felt like I gave myself the best shot possible to be admitted (which I was). Jeff pushed me to be a more thoughtful and intentional writer and I would not have had the results I achieved without him. Jeff turned what is usually a very stressful process into an introspective and fulfilling process that I look back on with appreciation."

    -B. (IL - Northwestern Kellogg)

  • "Jeff was instrumental in helping me craft my personal narrative for my Ed. School applications. He understands the art of personal statement writing deeply and possesses the unique ability to identify and articulate the driving forces in a person's life to bring seemingly disjoint experiences into a cohesive story. Jeff helped me take my choppy initial drafts and restructure my writing to highlight key factors, smooth out transitions, and ensure my personality shined through. He was my biggest cheerleader throughout this process and gave me confidence to believe in the strength of my applications and my candidacy. I am so excited to be attending Penn GSE and am deeply grateful to Jeff, his care, and his commitment to helping me produce the strongest applications I could!"

    -L. (MN - Penn GSE)

  • "Jeff was an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped me hit the ground running early by providing a series of preparatory exercises and prompts to better prepare me for writing the essays and short answers for each school I applied for. I didn't realize it at the time, but all of the exercises helped build my narrative and ultimately crafted the polished product. Throughout the process, Jeff was proactive and available in providing a depth of knowledge and detailed feedback for all written work. Further, he was an asset in interview prep highlighting methods ultimately resulting in successful interviews. I highly recommend working with him if you get the chance!"
