"Wharton & CBS Admit - International With Non-Traditional Background"

“Petia saw my strengths before I knew they existed – and helped me showcase them in a way that made exceptional results inevitable! I only applied to a small number of US schools, so I did the “nose-to-tail” package for 3 schools and am so glad I did! As a European candidate (and working in a niche investor relations role), I had no idea just how different US schools are both culturally and in what they consider valuable in an application – Petia’s incredible depth of knowledge and proven experience with what works well was exactly what I needed to create successful applications for my target schools! With the nose-to-tail, she literally helped me at every step of the way – whenever I wrote what I though was a “perfect” essay that merely glanced over my strengths, or responded to application questions in great detail, but was missing the point – Petia was there to make sure that no opportunity was missed to put my best foot forward.

Most importantly, Petia’s hands-on and incredibly individual and caring approach kept me honest throughout the entire application journey, even while I was going through enormous personal turmoil. She was also the only one I could bounce ideas off for my applications, including strategizing on GRE exam date timing and helpful prep recommendations – I knew that if I had a question, Petia would have the answer. If it wasn’t for Petia, getting into my target schools would have still been a distant dream!

Thank you, Petia!!!”
