The boot camp was extremely helpful for me . . .most of all, it helped me get organised and kept me motivated. I am way ahead of everyone in my class with applications.

The experience was highly useful. It gave me a realistic idea about where to apply to college and the individual attention given by all three counsellors was extremely helpful. I was given a roadmap for all my essays and the work environment was extremely supportive and friendly. The food was amazing.

Consulting Testimonials

Working with Zil was an eye-opening experience. Not only did I learn about how best to present myself to business schools, I learned more about myself and about the types of learning environments that would be most suitable for me- this helped us come up with a list of schools to apply to. Zil has an encyclopaedic knowledge of MBA programs and I highly recommend her services.

-KM, Rotman School of Management

Zil was a lifesaver! I came to her for essay help in a state of panic, just a few days before my applications were due. She very calmly helped me brainstorm topics and got the writing process started. I ended up writing three great essays and got into my top choice school. This could not have happened without Zil’s help. She is more than just a great college coach, she is someone I deeply admire and look up to. Thank you Zil!

-FS, Stanford University

Working with Ms. Zil for my business school applications was both a rewarding and learning experience. Her feedback and coaching method enabled me to significantly improve not just the structure of my application essays but also helped me in analyzing and improving my overall application from selecting “right for me” business schools to fixing the smallest possible errors in my resume…working with Ms. Zil added value to my thought process and self-evaluation skills that will continue to help me improve professionally.

-AQ, Harvard Business School

Zil assisted me during the college application process through the review of application essays and written supplements. When working with Zil, I found her approach to be highly effective as she critically reviewed essays for clarity, succinctness and organization and provided appropriate feedback where necessary. Zil also gave valuable insight into the general college application process and was knowledgeable in helping tailor an application package to a particular college or university. I would highly recommend Zil to anyone looking to get an edge on the college application process.

-ET, Rice University

I met Zil at an orientation session and was impressed with her knowledge of US schools. I approached her for my HBS interview preparation and she enthusiastically agreed to help...Zil's advice on effective non-verbal communication and verbally linking my story with the bigger picture played a huge role in building my confidence for the grilling experience. One thing that I liked the most is that she did not just help me professionally but also coached me on some personal decisions which needed to be made before (matriculating at) HBS. I'm really thankful to her for her valuable feedback and support throughout.
