It was an absolute pleasure working with Michael. He has a unique ability to deeply understand your background, your career goals, and how to help you communicate them in a way that resonates with admissions committees. Coming from a non-traditional background in engineering and aiming for a less conventional path like venture capital, I wasn’t sure how to connect the dots in my story. Michael made it feel natural. He helped me identify the transferable skills from my engineering and consulting experience and guided me on how to present them with clarity and impact. He also helped me refine how I positioned my goals so that they felt both ambitious and grounded. Beyond just the technical guidance, Michael showed a level of care and dedication that truly stood out. He joined multiple long Zoom calls with me — even while on vacation in Florida — simply because he wanted to make sure I was set up for success. He was always true to his word and made it clear that his students come first. I’m incredibly grateful for all the support Michael gave me. He is, without question, one of the best coaches on this platform.

It was an absolute joy to work with Faisal. If I had to describe him in one word, it would be efficient. From the very beginning, Faisal dove straight into what mattered most and gave clear, actionable feedback to strengthen my application essays. What stood out was his ability to zoom out and provide a big-picture perspective. He didn’t just focus on surface-level edits or minor grammar tweaks. He helped me understand how to better showcase my story in a way that felt authentic and compelling. After just a couple of sessions, I started seeing patterns in his guidance that I could apply to essays I was writing on my own. Faisal also has a strong understanding of what resonates with admissions committees. He helped me reflect on my strengths and frame them in a way that aligned with what top MBA programs are looking for. On top of all this, he was incredibly accommodating with tight timelines. Even when his schedule was packed, he always found time to support me. Thanks to Faisal, I ended up getting accepted into more schools than I ever imagined. I’m deeply grateful for his support and guidance, and I’m confident he’ll be an invaluable partner to many more applicants in the future.

My background wasn’t perfect, but Emily’s ability to highlight the unique aspects of my story and help me craft a compelling narrative made all the difference in getting into my dream school. She was honest, responsive, and incredibly strategic about where I should focus my energy. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without her insight and guidance.

Billy was very accommodative with my schedule and last-minute booking changes. We chatted about salary negotiation and life as a PM, where Billy shared lots of insights and actionable tips on how to approach the conversation with confidence. I could tell Billy is extremely knowledgable, supportive, and dedicated, and will be certainly booking another session for interview prep or career advice in the future.

Arthur is incredibly knowledgeable about the Sloan MBA interview process. He knows the structure, the question types, and how to approach them strategically. He also communicates clearly and effectively. If Sloan is your dream school, look no further.

Steven was incredibly thoughtful and detail-oriented. What separated Steven from others was his unmistakable commitment and passion to my recruitment process. He is upbeat, fun to work with, and unafraid to give honest and helpful critique. Highly recommended, as he was integral to my landing an MBB role.

“Working with Melanie Espeland was one of the best decisions I made in my MBA journey. From the very first conversation, it was clear she brought not only deep expertise and insight into the admissions process, but also a level of empathy, strategic thinking, and encouragement that helped me bring out my best self. As a full-time working professional with a packed schedule, I needed a coach who could help me stay focused, intentional, and authentic across every part of my application. Melanie helped me craft a compelling narrative that tied together my personal story, career aspirations, and leadership potential in a way I could never have done on my own. She asked thoughtful questions that pushed me to dig deeper and refine my messaging — especially for the essays and interview prep. Her feedback was honest but always constructive, and I never felt like just another client. It truly felt like a partnership. Thanks to her guidance, I was admitted to the Yale School of Management’s Executive MBA program — my top choice. I’m still pinching myself! I absolutely would not have gotten here without Melanie in my corner. If you’re looking for a coach who will challenge you, champion you, and help you tell your story with clarity and confidence, look no further. Worth every penny.”

Every session was incredibly productive, providing valuable takeaways that improved my preparation and interview skills - from positioning myself as a candidate to post-offer strategy. If you want focused guidance that gets results, Christina is your coach.

Daniel was instrumental in helping me case prep - he tailors the cases given to areas of improvement and gives concise, actionable feedback in a manner that is easily digestible. Daniel also goes above and beyond, providing advice and support both on and offline. Would 100% recommend Daniel to anyone looking for a mentor who really cares about your ambitions and growth.

Billy was extremely helpful as I prepared for my Meta PM interviews. It is clear that Billy is extremely knowledgable in the interview process and has extensive Product experience. Because of this, Billy was able to provide tailored feedback and opportunity areas to help me feel confident going into my interviews. I would highly recommend Billy as you prepare for your PM interviews.
