Stratus Prep

I promised to write this review 2 years ago, and because they did such an amazing job and I got into business school, I am just now finding the time to do so (fellow grad schoolers will understand)! I literally would not have gotten into any of my chosen schools without Stratus Prep. GMAT coaching with Jim helped me raise my score by 100 points, and Shawn and Samantha were enormous aids, helping me focus and articulate my goals and providing an actionable roadmap to reach them. They are very knowledgeable about the particulars of the application process as well as the unique personalities...

Stratus Prep was great for me. I used them as b-school app consultants, and the fact that it wasnt capped by hours took a lot of pressure off! Also, my consultant had a plan of action, which gave me confidence that I'd be able to submit all the apps i wanted in the rounds I wanted to. The peace of mind in knowing youre following a methodical path is worth it!

I decided to use Stratus after talking with two of their previous clients and speaking with Shawn O'Connor over the phone for 30 min. I was confident enough to go forward with the investment but still was a bit hesitant. Good graduate school counseling isn't cheap at any reputable company so I was worried I'd pay and not get much out of it. Or equally bad, that they'd provide too much guidance and the application would not be mine. I can say neither was the case. To start, Jeff Mroz, my counselor, assigned me introspective exercises. I took time to really think through every experience I...

I had a very positive experience working with Stratus for LSAT prep and law school admissions counseling this past year. My admissions counselor was clearly invested in my success, and did an excellent job of tailoring her advice and strategies to my background and personal experiences. Can't express how satisfied I am with the results of my application cycle. I was fortunate enough to be admitted to Cornell, Duke, UVA, Michigan, Berkeley, Penn, and Columbia, where I'll be attending in the fall. Stratus Prep played a pivotal role in making this possible.

I had the chance to work with Shawn and Vanessa at Stratus Prep last year on three applications, Wharton, HBS, and GSB. I applied for both HBS and GSB in Round 1 and was planning to apply to Wharton for Round 2 but was accepted to HBS before finishing and decided to accept. Quickly on my background. My GMAT was 730. I worked two years in consulting at McKinsey and then launched and worked on my own company for three years prior to business school (two years at the time of my application). Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my experience with Stratus Prep. I had applied on my own the...
