Authenticity in Essays & Interviews I found Sherpa Prep online and I'm only mad that I didn't find them sooner! I worked with Nafeez on essay strategy and interview prep and I'm grateful for my experience! Nafeez was able to uncover gaps in my knowledge and understanding of what a MBA school would want, and to also be myself. I thought I had to appear in a certain manner to MBA schools, but Nafeez showed me that I can truly be my authentic self and get into a top MBA school!

I was floundering on the GRE… I was floundering in my GRE preparation. I had not taken a formal class, had pursued cheaper options, and frankly was seeing no results. In just five tutoring sessions with Jay, my score improved dramatically and I ended up being admitted to a top 10 business school. I cannot speak highly enough about Sherpa, and every individual that I know who has worked with this company has gotten where they needed to be on their standardized tests.

Other test Prep Programs Don't Stand a Chance (trust me) This company is not just a test prep company. It is like hiring a private tutor to teach you how to learn, and the GMAT just happens to be the subject. The way they combine elements of motivation and accountability (assigning accountability partners, weekly progress emails, and monthly check ins) with a holistic teaching method (homework, virtual group classes and office hours) is next level. Initially I signed up for Magoosh. I was an electrical engineer major at a top university and thought I could put the hours in on my own and be fine, as usual. Unfortunately, I was wrong. 4 months later, I had wasted vital MBA application time watching less effective methods and poorly created practice problems. Don't make my mistake. Nafeez truly is a sherpa through this experience.

I'm so lucky to have found Sherpa Prep! I started my experience with Sherpa in their virtual GRE prep course, led by Jay, and ended it with MBA admissions consulting with Nafeez. And I can say with confidence that I would NOT have gotten my spot at a top MBA program if not for them. I came to them with a low GRE score and minimal confidence about my ability to get into business school, period. The extreme care and thoughtfulness that they put into every aspect of their business was evident from the start, and I was blown away by the quality of instruction from Jay. He was honest, excellent at reading the room during classes, and explained how to master each question type on the GRE in a way that was easy to understand. He is also a super nice guy who genuinely cares about the success of his students, and will put in the extra time to make sure you're getting the most out of the class that you can. As for Nafeez, it was an absolute pleasure working with him from start to finish. He is extremely charismatic, an expert at what he does, and made himself 100% available to me, even when I asked him to review essay drafts with somewhat last minute notice. I came to Nafeez with no idea how to articulate my "why" for business school, and no clear sense of how to build a compelling narrative for admissions teams. He provided just the right amount of guidance to get my narrative where it needed to be, answered every last question I had, and helped me take my essays from "good" to "exceptional". And once again, he is such a joy to work with! One thing that I think really sets Sherpa apart is their commitment to doing the right thing by their students. They genuinely care about your success, do not charge as much as other similar services, and they are honest every step of the way about what help you actually need. They are interested in succeeding as teachers and making themselves accessible to everyone. I cannot recommend them enough, and will forever be grateful for their help!

Need a Test Prep Center? Look no further! Such a friendly and supportive environment to prep for the GMAT, which can be a real uphill struggled. Nafeez has taught me so many great tips for the exam, but more so on time management and hard work. He's extremely invested in his students and you can really tell that he wants us to get into Grad school. I highly recommend Sherpa Prep and it's amazing crew to anyone thinking of GMAT/GRE/Admissions Counseling!
