Admitted to 4 Top Ten Programs, with $380,000 in Scholarships
David and the Menlo Coaching team are the real deal and I couldn’t be happier with their services and my admissions results. Despite my feeling that I had a generic pre-MBA story, David helped me highlight my strengths and unique experiences that I had overlooked. Thanks to David’s guidance and support, I was admitted to 4 top ten programs, with scholarships from all 4, totaling $380,000.
Menlo Coaching is a well-oiled machine, with a boutique, personalized feel. The process was well-orchestrated from start to finish, with an interactive project management software. Having Menlo Coaching based in Europe is actually a big advantage for US-based applicants; while you sleep, they work, and you will have feedback by morning.
David is truly an expert when it comes to MBA admissions. He has years of experience and is in the know on MBA admissions trends and shifts. But what sets David apart is his willingness to go above and beyond to support his clients throughout the process. Here are a few examples of how he helped me, beyond my expectations:
– He connected me with an outstanding GMAT tutor in my city who helped me raise my (already good) GMAT score by 20 points
– He created a community among his clients through video chats and in-person meet-ups so you had peers to reach out to for support
– He connected me with various members of his personal network as I explored different post-MBA careers
– He connected me with previous clients at my target schools that were in clubs/internships of interest to me
– He rearranged his schedule to video chat with me 2x/day to give me real time feedback when I took a couple of days off of work to write essays
– He helped my fiance and I create a cohesive and compelling story that landed us 4 joint offers
– He facilitated mock interviews with 3 different interviewers and continued to offer more until I felt prepared
– He helped me navigate a tricky political situation that came up when I was networking with a school
– He coached me through scholarship negotiations, helping me double my scholarship offer at my #1 school
The list goes on… and in every example, David’s responses were unbelievably prompt, thoughtful, and thorough.
I wholeheartedly recommend David and Menlo Coaching. Worth every penny and I had an enjoyable experience.
