"The Secret To My MBA Success? Working With Petia"
In a world where most applicants write what they think admissions committees want to hear, authenticity is what truly stands out. Thanks to Petia’s guidance, I was admitted to three M7 schools (two with significant scholarships) and two T15 schools (also with significant scholarships). I am certain I wouldn’t have achieved this without her help. Every penny I invested in working with her has paid off exponentially.

If I could give Petia a six-star rating, I would not hesitate.

Not even the schools considered lower in rank extended an offer. Then, right as round two deadlines, I was introduced to Petia, and it turned out to be the highlight of my application journey.
