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.
Petia, for me, was a passionate and empathetic coach who brought in tons of experience and industry knowledge. I worked with her for R1 interviews, R2 applications and subsequent decision-making, and throughout all of it, she was the calm, confident coach who helped alleviate my anxieties.
