Do NOT make the mistake of working with them! Can’t speak for everyone at the firm but would NOT recommend Meg Stiphany. The absolute worst 1) her form of providing you critical feedback on essays was just providing grammar edits 2) she was so stingy about spending any time helping you review. I understand she had dozens of clients but you can’t be providing garbage quality due to quantity 3) my siblings and friends were so MUCH more helpful than her, her suggestions are so generic and lacklustre 4) she’s also just extremely rude and unpleasant to work with (like I think I did significantly more damage to my apps than benefit) 4) while she didn’t care at all about checking at all during the process she sure did check in once admissions decisions were being released super frequently because of course gotta make sure your consultant stats look good and you can take a lot of the credit there :) 5) lots of other reasons that I definitely shared with others looking for an MBA consultant in order to ensure they never work with Meg Stiphany.
Laura Nelson was my consultant and I am so grateful that Stacy Blackman paired me with her. Laura was the exact consultant I needed – honest, supportive, reliable, and an expert with the Business School application process. From our first call to my last essay draft, Laura was there throughout the entire journey. At the beginning, Laura spent significant time understanding who I was and what I wanted to accomplish. This is one of the reasons Laura was able to really help me bring out the best in my stories and applications. Additionally, she was very responsive and always made time for a phone call. Lastly, she could always find a way to reduce word count while maintaining the idea! I am beyond pleased with the results and want to thank Laura and Stacy Blackman for helping me successfully navigate through this challenge. Applying to business school can be very overwhelming and there will be many ups and downs. Stacy Blackman has the experience and expertise to help shape you into a strong and worthy candidate.
This is my review for my consultant- Laura Nelson. We worked together on 4 business schools and I got admitted into 2 of the 4 with a substantial fellowship from one. Laura and I made a great team!! Laura was very clear in the aspects she could help me with and was always a pillar of support as I put together my application. She effortlessly brought out my stories and helped me highlight the experiences that were unique and interesting in my essays. Coming from an over represented pool of applicants, this aspect seemed most important. She paid lots of attention to the details in my essays. There were several points where I doubted parts of my content. At these points, she would ask me the right questions, kindling my experiences and helped me stay on track. She encouraged me to try new ideas and themes for my essays and was ready with feedback in less than two days. Her quality and quick feedbacks really helped turn in my applications well before the deadlines. We also tried some mock skype interview sessions and these really made the interview experiences a breeze. I am so glad I got to work with her and so grateful to her for making my MBA dream come true!!
I really enjoyed working with Beth - a former member of Kellogg's admissions committee. Beth helped me organize my thoughts on my essays, craft effective stories and prepare for the admissions process. She was always very timely with her responses and incredibly caring throughout the whole process. With Beth's help, not only did I get into school, but also secured a scholarship! Beth was instrumental to my business school success. If feasible, I would highly recommend investing in a few hours with SBC during the application process.
I had a really positive experience with SBC. My consultant, Jen, helped me pull together two applications in less than 4 weeks, and she was great. She was always responsive by email (within half a day) and willing to chat on the phone to brainstorm essay ideas or hash things out. She was spot on with my strengths to highlight (which she gathered after just one phone call!) and gave me honest feedback on my essay ideas. Overall Jen was so easy to work with and her guidance & edits made all the difference. I'm so happy to say I got into my first choice, Stanford, and I couldn't have done it without SBC!
