The interview prep we did was extremely helpful. I think Kellogg went really well! I had so many great examples of why Kellogg and I think I really conveyed that point.
2017 Kellogg Admit
I'm incredibly happy I got to work with Andrea on my business school applications. From the very beginning, she took great interest in my experiences and motivations behind them. As we brainstormed outlines for my essays, she was not only insightful and collaborative, but also enthusiastic about my story. On multiple instances during the drafting process, her advice and suggestions were distinctly better in judgement compared to other feedback I was getting. It's without a doubt my application was able to elevate to a level that I wouldn't have been able to achieve without her help.

I wanted to send you a huge thank you and let you know how much I appreciate all your help/feedback during this process. You provided an enormous amount of guidance which really helped direct my search so THANK YOU for that. I do hope that we can work together again in the future and I've already suggested to a couple of my peers that they check out the services offered by Sparrey Consulting.
