Admitted to HBS, Wharton, MIT Sloan, and Kellogg—with scholarships—because of Susan’s unmatched coaching. Her strategic insight, personal investment, and admissions-level perspective elevated every part of my application. She doesn’t just improve your essays—she transforms how you show up. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.

I applied twice on my own and walked away empty-handed, frustrated and unsure. Working with Susan changed that. She helped me find clarity in my story, rebuild my confidence, and approach the process with purpose. I didn’t just get into Ross—I became the kind of leader I aspired to be.

“Susan pushed me beyond what I thought I was capable of. She helped me refine a cohesive, authentic narrative, challenged me with tough questions, and built my confidence as a non-traditional applicant. I didn’t just end up with a stronger application — I walked away with a clearer sense of direction and purpose.”

“Susan helped me get into HBS—and changed my life in the process.”

Before working with her, I was overwhelmed, unconfident, and unsure where to start. Susan brought structure, clarity, and reflection to every step. She didn’t just help me build a winning application—she helped me see that I deserved to be at a top school.

“Susan didn’t just help me get into Tuck—she helped me figure out where I’m going in life.”

Coming from a nontraditional background, I started this journey with no clear goals and very little confidence. Susan’s process gave me the structure, self-awareness, and storytelling clarity I needed to succeed—not just in MBA admissions, but beyond.

When I began the process of applying, I was very confident in my ability to succeed at business school but hesitant—especially as a nontraditional applicant with a history of leaving medical school—about whether I would be able to showcase those skills effectively. Susan not only guided me through the process of applying but opened up my ability to trust myself, showcase my abilities and accomplishments, and learn how to collaborate with others to the best of my strengths.

“Danae helped me secure an extra $7,000 in scholarship funding.”

She was responsive, thoughtful, and strategic—preparing materials tailored to my story. I truly don’t think I could’ve negotiated this successfully on my own.

“Despite a 2.6 GPA, I got into UNC with a Fellowship—thanks to Danae.”

She helped me refine my story, strengthen my strategy, and position my value clearly to the AdCom. Her honesty and insight made all the difference.

“I got into an M7 while working full-time and planning a wedding—Susan made it possible.”

She helped me clarify my story, translate my biotech background, and define my voice. I felt confident going into interviews—and it paid off.

“With Susan’s help, I got into both of my top schools—one with a 40% scholarship.”

She helped me translate my healthcare background, stay on top of deadlines, and present the strongest version of myself. Her process is comprehensive, personal, and unmatched.

“I got into 5 of 6 schools—including Wharton with major scholarships—thanks to Susan.”

She challenged me to go deeper, helped craft a powerful narrative, and was fully invested in my success. Susan is more than a coach—she’s a true partner in the journey.
