Hall of Fame
This is our favorite part of the site! It's where we can showcase the achievements of the people who trusted us to be part of their educational and career journey.
MBA
Alexa, Columbia MBA
“I had offers from Columbia and LBS! it was a hard decision and I chose CBS in NYC. My GMAT experience was hard and that's why I approached Nicholas. In the end he proposed switching to EA, which CBS accepts.. It was much easier for me and that's how I got into Columbia. "
Carlo, Wharton MBA
My brother got into LBS using this service, so I didn't hesitate to reach out. First we did GMAT, which was really efficient. I had work stress and Nick gave me the material + tips and tricks. I got a 670, which he said was enough. I got into everywhere I applied, and even got a scholarship to an M7 school. In the end, Wharton was my choice. I could not have done it alone.
Master's of Finance/ MiM
Lara, HSG SIM
I am Swiss and knew that to get into the SIM I'd need to break 700 on GMAT. I had studied with Manhattan books and I thought I was ready. I wasn't and made tons of silly mistakes. I was introduced to Nick through a friend and we Zoom math sessions, which made a huge difference to my confidence and approach. I was thrilled when I saw my GMAT score of 760! And then my acceptance to the SIM! Thank you!!
Paolo, LSE Msc
"LSE was my dream school, although I didn't think it was possible. I went to EHL, which is not the typical LSE feeder school. Nicholas took some of the elements from my CV and hospitality internships and build a really strong story around it. I was also accepted to Imperial and chose LSE."
Anina, INSEAD MiM
“I studied sciences at UZH and totally fell in love with the INSEAD program after meeting the representative at an info day. I was pretty late with my application, and GMATZurich fast tracked my GMAT prep. I got a 660 in 2 weeks! He also helped me find my voice in the essays. This was super helpful because I was insecure given that I had zero business experience. I'm already networking and getting ready for INSEAD this fall!
PHD and STEM
Jeffrey, Oxford Phd
I knew Nicholas because he helped me get into LSE, and convinced me to accept the offer. It ended up being a life-changing experience. I decided to continue in academia after a year back in Zurich working in finance. I had to take GRE and write applications during a busy work time. We did it together and created really strong applications. In the end, I had multiple offers and chose Oxford with a generous funding package.
Ellie, Cambridge Msc.
"I'm Swedish and was put in touch with Nicholas by friends who got full scholarships to top US schools (Columbia and Babson). I wasn't sure where to apply or how my first degree in STEM from the UK would be perceived. We chose a school list together and did the applications. I got accepted at Imperial and Cambridge, and made it to the interview round at Harvard. I accepted the offer at Cambridge and it's really a dream come true."
Ania, UCL Msc.
"I got overwhelmed in the application process and was referred to Nicholas. I had intended to study a STEM program in the US, but then realized Europe was a better fit. Nicholas showed me the top programs and how they fit to my background. I am Mexican, and he made this an advantage on the application. I originally targeted Cambridge, but saw that UCL matched exactly my field of sustainable chemistry. Plus, I'll live in London city which has always been a dream of mine. Muchas gracias!"”
Standard Tests
Erica, SAT 1390
"I realized quite late that I wanted to go to EHL. Nicholas and I called his friend who works there and she gave us clear steps. First was the SAT, which we totally fast tracked. I got a 1390 which is the 95th percentile! And right away the acceptance to EHL."
Denis, TOEFL 110
I did the TOEFL express course through HSG. I had planned to go abroad and needed 100 points. Nicholas showed me how to think like the TOEFL. On test day I felt relaxed and managed a 110.
Andy, GRE 165
“I was going to apply to schools that didn't need a standard test to not deal with the stress. However, I would not have had access to the top programs so I gave it a try. The lessons worked and I beat my goal of 160. I got into LSE and HEC finance and chose LSE.”
