"The Secret To My MBA Success? Working With Petia"

“What I didn’t know when I decided to work with Petia is that I’d not only be signing up with an incredible MBA consultant but also somewhat of a life coach. I came to Petia with no clue how to create a narrative that would be appealing to business schools. And what Petia made clear from day one was that writing essays is not about inventing a narrative, but about highlighting the best parts of yourself. The only problem was, despite months preparing to apply to business school with my head in GMAT books, I had done zero self reflection. I didn’t know what the best parts of myself were nor how to showcase them.

Through a series of Mr. Miyagi-esque exercises, Petia helped me pull out threads of passion that have been woven throughout my life, allowing me to create an authentic and meaningful story. I would never have gained this level of clarity without her. This clarity gave me the conviction I needed to write powerful essays, certain of who I am and what I want to achieve in my career.

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.

As someone who tends to overthink (I’ve had my share of GMAT stress dreams!), I never once felt stressed about my essays because I trusted Petia. With her, you gain not only a trusted advisor and wise mentor, but someone who makes the entire process feel easy—and even fun! I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
