Clients' quotes:
“I highly recommend Oded to anyone who seeks success in crafting MBA applications. Without a doubt Oded increased the quality of my applications by at least threefold compared to how I would have been able to do them myself. I came to him starting my applications within a month of the R2 deadlines and with this extremely short timeline – and navigating/overcoming a weakness in my application – he helped me secure admission to two T15 schools! Oded is an exceptional partner to have in the application process – knowledgeable on the schools and how to craft a story, quick on turnaround on essay/story guidance, and genuinely cared/was invested in my personal success. I most appreciated his patience, confidence inducing expertise, logical and honest approach to improving aspects of my application, and consistent communication/energy. Working with Oded was an absolute right choice for my business school ambitions.“

"Oded did an amazing job helping me to craft my story in the best way that fits the school. We worked together for a few months, in a different timezone, and yet, he was super responsive and reviewed my essays in a very timely manner. His comments were very professional, detailed, and organized. He was very patient with me and continued helping me shape each essay until I felt comfortable with the final results. Oded also helped me get ready for my interview by helping me to finalize my strategy, doing a mock interview with me, and giving me some important tips. I am grateful that I had Oded as my Consultant."
