“I could not recommend a consultant more highly than I recommend Oren. I was hesitant to work with a consultant at all, and I had intro calls with all the major firms; I found each to be impersonal and indistinguishable. My experience with Oren was the opposite. I would describe his approach as compassionate and genuine. His feedback is honest but fair, and he encouraged me to put together an application that was true to myself and my goals, rather than one that schools might *want* to see.

He primarily assisted with essay editing, standardized test and school list strategy, and interview prep. For the other elements of my application, Oren was honest about what did not need his review. True to his approach to leading with integrity, rather than take advantage of or capitalize on my position, he chose to save me money and time instead.

The results speak for themselves, I was admitted to all 5 schools I applied to with scholarships (Fuqua, Anderson, Stern, SOM, and HBS) and I will be attending HBS in the fall. Even if I did not have the same success, I would choose Oren again every time, because I grew in the process and knew that I was putting forward an application true to myself. Not to mention – he was fun to work with. Thank you, Oren!”

“I spoke to a lot of admissions consultants before I found Oren, and the reason he stood out to me was that he actually took the time to get to know me. Oren and I were able to form a trust-based relationship that helped me refine my true motivations for attending graduate school and write personal statements that reflected my values and let my true voice shine through. Oren also had so many incredible insights on how to improve my resume and strategize on which schools would be right for my career and goals, and his experience as a former admissions director was clearly a differentiator in this process.

With Oren's guidance, I was able to submit my application with a lot of confidence and was admitted into four highly respected schools, which I could not have done without his perspective. I'm grateful for his help, and would highly recommend Oren to anyone who is seeking a personalized approach to their higher education journey.”

“I wanted to work with an admissions consultant because I have a unique professional background with a mixed bag of experiences. I knew right away that Oren was the perfect consultant for me because he had previously run the career development program at my current company, so he already had a deep understanding of my job, which is often hard to explain to people not familiar with the industry. 

At times throughout the application process I doubted the strength of my candidacy, but from the beginning, Oren helped me craft my story in a way that highlighted how my unique background and perspective made me a perfect fit for several top programs. Without his patience, guidance, support, and confidence, I could not have achieved the results that I did, including securing an admission to my dream business school. 

Oren helped me throughout every stage of the application process, from essay review and interview prep, to how to successfully navigate the dreaded and daunting waitlist! His advice and wisdom, which he has gained from his incredible breadth of experience, was so valuable. But beyond that, I genuinely loved working with him. If I could sing, I would sing his praises as loud as I could, but for now I will just have to recommend him to anyone even considering an MBA!”

“Oren never missed a beat. Ever. I found him at a time when I was struggling through the application process, and joining forces with him was an absolute game changer. Though I was looking to work only on essays, he reviewed all of my application materials (test scores, resume, transcript) and took the time to get to know me not only as an MBA applicant, but as a person. You are not just another number - he actually cares. Oren's professionalism and astuteness is incomparable, and knowing I could lean on him for guidance gave me the much-needed strength to keep pushing forward. With his support, I was able to fluently communicate the heart of my story and goals. I valued Oren's wisdom so much that after submitting my applications we worked on interviews. Oren was always gracious with his time, honesty, encouragement, and advice. I couldn't have done this without him, and as someone who is highly-discerning, I recommend him to any and everyone (which I did!) who is taking the MBA leap. Team Oren!”

“I spoke with a few admissions consultants before reaching out to Oren, and decided to work with him as he came across as a very genuine person. From the get-go, Oren was very willing to answer any questions I had, and more importantly, insisted on taking the time to understand my "why MBA" story before working together.

As a first-time international applicant, I valued Oren's previous experience as an admissions director, and through the process, recognized that he had a perspective that my friends and family would not have been able to provide. Having read many more applications before mine, Oren was able to advise which parts of my stories would resonate, and I appreciated that he was always generous and upfront with his feedback.

I eventually received an offer from my dream school and spent less than what other companies would have charged for such services. I would definitely recommend Oren to anyone who is thinking about working with an admissions consultant!”

“I simply could not recommend Oren’s services or Oren as a person enough. Sure, he is highly knowledgeable about the latest admissions trends and how to execute dynamic strategies in order to stand out. He can help you decode the mysteries of what business schools are looking for in their application essays, coach you through essay writing strategies and time management, and even help you with the confusing minutia of preparing these applications as a whole. He is a master of these things, without a doubt.

However, I think Oren’s greatest strength is his ability to get the best of you out on paper, which can be so difficult, awkward, and daunting for many. I was shocked at how easy it was to talk to Oren and to express to him my thoughts and justifications for pursuing business school. Quickly, I became totally comfortable speaking to him about my trepidations, my doubts about my own personal value and strange professional experiences in the MBA context, and my “non-business school” thoughts about what I wanted to learn in life and how I wanted to grow. As we had these conversations during my quick application turnaround and essay writing frenzy, he was able to stop me, redirect me with a “say more about that”, and help me pursue thoughts and motivations as I was processing them and speaking them aloud. It’s hard to explain, but Oren would continually say “that’s it!” or “this needs to be in your essay” and “that’s gold!”. It was magic, and as a result, my essays were full of my personality, my professional value and my aspirations.

Even now, as I go through my MBA, I go back to those essays I wrote with him as a recalibration point. Oren is a coach extraordinaire, and I couldn’t be happier I found him and his services.”

“From the very first phone call with Oren, I could tell he was a genuine person that had my best interests in mind. The perspective he was able to provide on essays and the application process as a whole were incredible. As someone who is prone to over-stressing about things, working with Oren helped make the grueling admissions process much easier to manage, as I knew I was able to put my best foot forward. This not only helped my applications but sanity as well! He’s very responsive and was always willing to help in a pinch. Thanks to Oren I was accepted, with a scholarship, to a program I couldn’t be more excited to attend!”

“The experience I had with Oren was nothing short of exceptional. He helped me think critically as I dug deep in my essays, allowing me to bring out important aspects of myself into my applications that I otherwise would not have thought to include on my own. His edits to my essays, resume, and my overall applications were enormously helpful, and I never felt like he was doing the work for me. He always challenged me to refine my ideas, and I ultimately came out of the experience a much stronger writer. I feel prepared after working with Oren to not only pursue a Master of Public Policy at my top choice program, but fully intend to use his expertise for additional scholarship opportunities as well as the eventual pursuit of a joint degree in law. I highly recommend Oren to anybody who is ready to dedicate significant time to refining their applications but is also ready to see the results of the hard work they put in. I got into three top MPP programs, with two garnering me over $50k in scholarships.”

“Working with Oren was a huge difference maker for the deferred MBA application process. His guidance was a huge component of my admission to Wharton, MIT Sloan, Booth, and Kellogg.

In the beginning, Oren took the time to help me craft and tighten up a compelling story. He was able to immediately identify potential pain points and red flags in my narrative, and fine tuned my strategic vision into a story that made sense, was cohesive, and spoke to what business schools were looking for. He knew how to tease out my story and put my best foot forward, and comprehensively suggested edits to each piece to make my voice shine through. Even when I had quick one-off questions, he could always be counted upon.

Finally, Oren's mock interview was extremely thorough and covered nearly every single avenue/potential question that was asked. He knew which parts of my application would raise questions, and simulated an interview experience that was pretty much identical to the real deal while providing clear and actionable feedback. Following his advice led me to convert every single interview I was offered into an acceptance.

Oren's value-add from working in the admissions office of a very competitive school was very evident, his passion for the work shone through, and I know from the past 6 months working with him that he truly loves helping students reach their potential. I can't recommend Oren enough for anyone looking at MBA programs (and particularly deferred MBA programs).”
