I know hearing about the experience of candidates who worked with me is incredibly important to you. To provide that, my candidates first submit their testimonials on Poets&Quants. To verify them, the P&Q team requires each candidate to show their letter of admission - so you can always be sure these are real reviews from real admits.
Working on your B-school application can be daunting with lots of small tasks and conflicting information. Through Petia’s help, I managed to secure admission to my dream school: Chicago Booth!
Her experience as a Dean of Admissions helped me put my best foot forward in my application. She really knows what to do and what not to do in your applications and interviews.
