Accepted to First Choice Thanks to Lainie and Menlo

Before I worked with Lainie, I had applied to business schools on my own. I achieved some modest success but thought that with the right help, I still had a shot at my dream school. I wanted to try again, this time with no regrets. It as a big decision for me to work with Menlo, but I am so pleased with my outcome. Even if I hadn’t been accepted to my reach school, I would’ve known that I left it all on the field with Lainie’s help. I felt very supported through the entire process, which can be a bit of a gauntlet. Lainie took every step (even some shadow steps I wouldn’t otherwise have known about) very seriously and sincerely. There’s a lot to be said for Menlo’s institutional knowledge of the “admissions game,” yet I also felt like, with Lainie’s thoughtful guidance, I was able to craft an authentic and compelling personal narrative. It’s a really cool working dynamic. My team was both strategic and honest, no gimmicks, which meant that I felt throughly satisfied and at peace when it came time to press submit. Lainie and Menlo gave me all the resources I could’ve asked for and then some. I’ve advised several candidates thinking about applying to do it right and do it once with Menlo.
