Accepted at 2 of the top 3

After interviewing multiple big name admissions consultants, and not finding anyone whom I felt was worth the money (or the time), I found David (& Alice) through online reviews. Their reviews revealed extremely satisfied clients, and a far wider variety of acceptances (all at the top 5-10 schools), whereas the other larger firms I had been speaking to either had very mixed reviews, or only seemed to get people into specific institutions. With Menlo, I was sold after our first call. As promised, David remained incredibly reliable, sensitive to my goals, punctual, and encouraging throughout the 9 months that we worked together. He provided extremely helpful feedback on a regular basis, kept me on track, turned edits around extremely quickly, and was always willing to discuss over the phone. I wanted to write a very personal essay, and David helped me to do so effectively. Unlike many of the big name consultants, Menlo Coaching provides very personalized thorough guidance through every step of the application process. David and Alice clearly view their clients’ success as their own. It is thanks to David (& Alice and Menlo Coaching!) that I got into Stanford, my dream school!
