Admitted to five MBA programs When I started working on MBA applications, I did not know how to approach them, since as an international student, I did not have an experience of applying to US universities previously. Ryan guided me every step of the way. I really enjoyed working with Ryan: he was very honest and direct and provided unlimited essay reviews with short turnaround times. Ryan challenged me to reflect better on my past experiences and future goals. I always knew that he was ready to help me and was focused on me to prepare the best possible applications. I'm happy with both, the process and the results! I applied to 6 full time MBA programs during Round 2. It took me 3 months to prepare those applications. I was invited to interview at 5 schools and was admitted to all of them. I was admitted to Stanford GSB, Chicago Booth, Columbia, Yale SOM, and Duke Fuqua, with scholarships in the range of 70k-110k at four schools. I am very thankful to Ryan!

Worth it!! Ryan was incredibly helpful in the MBA application process. Ryan really helped me think through how to structure my essay questions and highlight the strongest parts of my candidacy, and it really paid off - I was accepted to Kellogg with a $100k scholarship! I also received a full ride to McCombs and Ross, and admission to Haas. I couldn't have done it without Ryan's help - thank you!

Ryan was an incredible support every step of the way! After attending Ryan's webinar, I realized how key his guidance would be for undergoing the MBA application process. I got into my top school - CORNELL !! - because of his consistent direction and feedback throughout the process. He works with you and is there for you each step of the way. From general advice, to essay help, to scholarship guidance, and so much more...I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for direction that will play an integral role in getting you to where you want to go! He made himself available when I needed support, and his knowledge around this space is well known. Ryan will help you find ways to stand out among other applicants and that's the key!

Admitted to three MBA programs As an international candidate, I had a lot to learn about the business school application process. I was extremely happy that a friend and former coworker recommended me to Ryan! He provided fantastic guidance through the entire application process, always gave great and candid advice, and was very patient with me. He made me feel confident in my candidacy, even when I had some doubts, and was always willing to give me a pep talk when I needed one. He was so patient, and has an amazing strategic mind and so much knowledge about MBA applications. My results were unexpected to me: I got into Kellogg, Haas, and Cornell with a $50,000 per year scholarship, even though my GMAT score was below the average for these schools. I can't wait to move the United States and start business school in the fall! I could not have done it without Ryan, I'm certain!

Success story! Admitted to HBS, Sloan, Tuck I worked with Ryan on my MBA applications in 2023, applying round 1 (September) and I had a fantastic experience working with Ryan. I dreamed of being accepted to a top school in the Boston / New England area, and I was accepted to Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, and Dartmouth (Tuck) - all 3 schools I worked on with Ryan! Of course, I couldn't have been more excited with these results! Ryan is super credible, filled with school-specific knowledge that equipped me to create high-quality applications that really spoke to what what each school looked for, and even gave me clarity around my career goals and how to position myself uniquely and articulately. His advice was invaluable. Working with Ryan was actually fun (not what I expected for the MBA admissions process). He always made our calls enjoyable and collaborative, and he wasn't above giving me a little "pep talk" when I doubted my candidacy and background - I came from a non-traditional background and had doubts that my application would be competitive. Ryan really knows his stuff, and I never would have been as successful in this process without his guidance and mentorship!
