What is your track record of student admissions to top schools?

Our success rate exceeds 96% for clients who work with us at the comprehensive level. Our acceptance rates run 2.5 to 3 times higher than the schools’ own published rates. We’ve maintained roughly a 32% acceptance rate at HBS over the past five years, against their average of around 12%.

Here’s something worth knowing about that number. When you’re comparing firms, you’ll see similar figures — 95%, 98%, 94%. But not all success rates are built the same way. Ours reflects the full range of candidates we work with, including those with lower stats, unconventional backgrounds, and ambitious target lists. We don’t turn away applicants to protect our metrics. We don’t steer people toward safety schools to pad the numbers. And we don’t require minimum package sizes designed to guarantee easy wins. That matters, because some firms posting comparable rates are working from a very different starting point — one where the most challenging cases were quietly declined at the door.

If that rate shifted in a given cycle, it wouldn’t necessarily mean anything changed about the quality of our work. It could mean our clients that year were reaching for more ambitious targets, or a demographic shift made one applicant pool more competitive. The team is the same. The care is the same. Honestly, the number we’re proudest of isn’t a percentage — it’s the number of clients who came to us convinced they couldn’t compete and ended up somewhere they didn’t think was possible.
