Betsy helped me, a foreign applicant, to understand the importance of an honest, truthful and authentic application essay. She encouraged me to write about topics I was truly passionate about and to let my life story shine through. Betsy taught me how to write with confidence and be on par with native speakers.

Betsy was instrumental in drawing my unique strengths out of me when helping me develop content for the essays. This helped me create a cohesive picture to present to the admissions committee.

- MBA candidate, University of Indiana Kelley School class of 2011

Betsy was great through out my application process. She was my sounding board, my mentor, my counselor all at the same time. She calmed me down when I was stressed, she helped me focus on the big picture without forgetting the details. THANK YOU!
