大家好，

我在美国工作，今年申请过程中遇到了一个非常好的mba application consultant. 她在加州，人非常好，在berkeley教过书。因为我收到一个很好的job offer所以就不申请了，想把她推荐给中国人。她具体信息都在这个网址上了： http://menlocoaching.com/ 如果国内看不到就email 她 Alice Van Harten <alice@menlocoaching.com>。她可以skype, 也特别有兴趣辅导海外申请人。可以跟她聊聊，反正第一session免费然后决定是不是hire 她。

具体的我都写在这个帖子上了。不是托，只是想推荐好人。

Hi everyone,

I highly recommend Alice Van Harten from Menlo Coaching. I am not a regular poster because I took my GMAT 4.5 years ago back in China for my US graduate school application. After my graduate study and almost 3 years of work experiences in US, I thought of applying for MBA 1) to have a better career path 2) to relocate to California for personal reasons, and 3) I can still use the old GMAT score before it expires

I decided to hire a consultant since I was only targeting top schools, and English is my 2nd language so I was trying to avoid any silly mistakes on my essays. Alice is far beyond my expectation. I accidentally found this posting while I was looking for the consultants. I saw some good words about Alice and decided to give her a call, I mean, the first call was free anyway. After my first conversation with Alice, I pretty much decided that I will hire her, although I have called a couple other consultants as well. I decided to hire her because

1) I know I can trust her since our first call. Different from other consultant who recommended me to apply for 5+ schools, Alice advised me to apply three. I was surprised when she said I did not need to apply that many, because this meant less working hours and less $ for her (She charges by hours). I am glad that I found a consultant who was not doing this just for money. Later on when I started to know her, she mentioned teaching was her interests and I felt her sincere and genuine personality. She sincerely hopes me to succeed, and she enjoys teaching. The trust is so important when you hire a consultant, because you need to feel comfortable to talk about yourself, your stories and everything to them.

2) As I continuously worked with her, I felt lucky that I had her with me during the process. Besides her sincere and fun personality, she is SO knowledgeable and SO sharp! It is hard to imagine that I have only known her for a few months but I really felt that she has known me forever. She remembers a lot of things about me and she knows which stories should be put on the essay. Sometimes I don't even remember that I told her but she remembered and we put the story into a good essay.

3) Although I mentioned she is fun to work with, she is very direct as well. She knows what is the best for me and she very directly expresses herself. That is very good and very effective communication. In another word, sometimes I know she was "pushing" me, but her communication was so effective and she was so nice, so I did not feel "pushy" at all. I guess I am trying to say, although she has a very very nice personality, she helps me get things done on time as well. Every time she provided very clear timelines and homework for next steps and I really enjoyed that, because again, it is about trust. I know we are on the right track.

Because I have received a very good job offer from an IT Giant company at the silicon valley, I decided to stop the application and take that offer. I kinda felt bad because I know if I continue the process, I will see good results with Alice's help. That's why I am writing this posting here, because I enjoyed and learned a lot while working with Alice, I want to recommend her to everyone. As I mentioned, I am not a regular poster because I have taken my GMAT years ago. Any verification is welcomed.
