Ryan is an excellent coach, mentor, and communicator. He knows how to put his clients at ease and give them the confidence they need to go through the long MBA admissions process well! I really enjoyed working with Ryan - I experienced a lot of personal growth (in terms of getting clear on my career goals and goals for myself during business school) while also growing as a writer and communicator myself!Without any doubt, my app materials were far superior with Ryan's help than I would've been able to construct on my own. He really pushed and encouraged me to go deeper, get more specific, and find my voice as a candidate (both in my essays and in my interviews).My results were off the charts good - far and away above what I thought I would achieve with a 3.3 GPA (and a decent GMAT). I was accepted to MIT Sloan, Chicago Booth, and Kellogg, and Ryan helped me negotiate an excellent scholarship package to Booth, where I'm about to start school. I'm completely grateful and excited about the next step in my life!
