Rebecca Helped Me Land My Top Choice With A Scholarship!

I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Rebecca at Menlo Coaching. With her help, I was able to secure admission to Kellogg, my top choice, with total scholarship funds amounting to $240k across five programs. I have fairly average stats (top 50 undergrad, mid-tier work experience, average GMAT and cohort), so I am thrilled with the results. If you are serious about your MBA application, I would highly recommend working with Rebecca and the Menlo Coaching team. Rebecca sought to deeply understand me and my life story, and her guidance was invaluable in drafting values-based essays and preparing answers for fit-based interview questions. I was concerned that my story wasn’t “memorable”, but Rebecca helped me connect significant events in my life to write compelling essays. Rebecca is an incredibly effective writer, and beyond helping me ideate the story I wanted to tell, also provided invaluable guidance on shortening essays to meet word count while retaining meaning and impact. We wouldn’t move on until we were both 100% satisfied with the final product, sometimes working through 10+ versions on a single prompt. More broadly, Rebecca provided structure to what felt like an overwhelming process by helping me organize deadlines, maximize networking, and tailor my approach for each individual program. She set forth challenging but achievable timelines to ensure that I wasn’t falling behind or losing focus despite a hectic year at my work. She was incredibly responsive, even over weekends and time zones; most times, I would share essays late evening my time and wake up to feedback the following morning. Menlo Coaching’s services come at a premium to other consultants’, but were a very worthwhile investment because of the degree of service, professionalism, and experience offered. I appreciated that Menlo offered a comprehensive service (rather than paying on a per-school basis) because Rebecca was a point of consistency throughout the process, from helping me find GMAT tutors to navigating the applications and negotiating scholarships. Overall, I believe that Rebecca and the MC team had a meaningful, positive impact on the final results of my applications.
