"The Best Investment I've Ever Made"

“Where to even begin! Working a full time job and knowing just how rigorous and expensive the MBA process was, I decided early on that I would save up to work with a consultant end to end. As luck would have it, I was referred to Petia by another consultancy and we instantly clicked on a call. One immediate difference compared to a few other folks I had chatted with and even interacted with in part of Forté’s MBA Launch program was how warm and personable Petia was. Others felt too transactional or too spread across multiple different candidates but Petia was a breath of fresh air. Given how early in the process I reached out to Petia (~1 year out from applying), I really got to know her and benefit from her wealth of knowledge, particularly that of the European schools that I was applying to. Beyond providing me with frameworks and tools that would accomplish the ‘what’ we were doing in my applications and interviews, Petia brought an incredibly supportive and reassuring energy that made it easy for me to find and articulate my ‘why’. Her presence and guidance made me feel, even in the throws of studying, that I was already across the finish line in whatever my best possible future could be. In my case, it was my top choice program and several others. I could not imagine having gone through the process without her and would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone on their MBA journey.”
