Angel Accel Online Course Reviews

  • "The initial thought of writing essays and interviewing for MBA programs was so nerve-wracking for me! I didn’t know how to show my personality, goals, and fit for the programs. That all changed when I began to learn from the Angel Accel Online Course. She dives deep, sharing wisdom from psychology, art, and more. Her coaching is unique because she integrates these fields together to craft effective strategies and techniques to create a curriculum for you to start with, unlike other coaches who wait for you to send them a piece of paper, and then they make a few comments. Other things that set the Angel Accel Online Course apart is Angel’s transparency and generosity. She doesn’t hold back information or tips. Her insights are not just theoretical; they are also practical and actionable. For instance, Angel offers valuable advice on often-overlooked aspects, like the nuances of deferred MBA programs. I have never seen any other coach cover these aspects. Her course even covers seemingly trivial topics like what to do if your recommender ghosts you, demonstrating how every detail can make a difference and showing you how to leverage these details to your advantage. As someone who is not a native English speaker and can’t afford the other resources out there, I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to find a high caliber coach within my budget. I feel so lucky that I stumbled on this course. This is the best investment I’ve ever made for my personal and professional future. As an introvert, I initially felt uncomfortable doing the brainstorming for my applications. But Angel’s lessons naturally encourage self-reflection and curiosity, turning the brainstorms into an engaging and productive process. Whether you're preparing for an MBA, law school, or any graduate program, or even if you're in high school, this course is invaluable. I wish I had a teacher like Angel in high school. If you just take one of the 40 lessons you will see that this isn't just about applications or professional growth; it's about a holistic approach to life and self-improvement. I practically immersed myself in her course and finished in three days and have been going back again and again on the topics that I need to work on. The Angel Accel Online Course is a game changer!"

  • "I cannot stress enough how much this course helped me prepare for my MBA applications. Angel has once again done a fantastic job creating a program that not only guides you through each stage of the MBA process but also equips you with the confidence to stand out. When I began the application process, I didn’t even know where to start. This course helped me roadmap the entire process, write an impactful personal statement, and provided fantastic insights into what to look for in a letter of recommendation. Each lesson includes thorough, well-organized notes to revisit anytime. Personally, I found the lessons on personal statements amazing. Angel’s insights helped me uncover “my unique power” (her words, not mine!) and build a statement specific to me that let my strengths shine. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone tackling the MBA application journey. Thank you, Angel, for this invaluable resource!"

Coaching Reviews

  • "Angel's nuanced understanding of the TBD and the ability to coordinate enough practice sessions and deliver targeted, detailed feedback was a crucial differentiator in my acceptance to Wharton. She has a knack for identifying the things that move the needle in a highly competitive game of inches, such as urging me to smile more and providing an accurate assessment of the good elements as well, providing an equal measure of constructive items to work on and reassurance of strengths with which to follow through. That this is delivered in a detailed individual live debrief and a written package that is easily referenced is hugely helpful, and is evidence of the extra mile that Angel goes to for her clients."

  • "Angel was a godsend (no pun intended). I had completely bombed my first mock interview for Wharton's TBD but I was introduced to her and did two mocks with her. It completely changed my perspective on the exercise, and I was able to deliver a very strong performance in the real thing thanks to her quick and insightful feedback. Can't recommend enough 10/10."

  • "I've worked with a few consultants for my application and Angel has been the most in-depth and detailed mentor thus far. Angel took the time to understand my story as a whole, found ways to reflect this in the essays, and went line by line with me to make sure every aspect flowed together. She took my essays to a level that I didn't think was possible. Angel is thoughtful, responsive, and makes you truly confident in your application. I couldn't recommend a better person to work with."

  • "[Angel] provided such amazing insight into graduate school options, particularly Deferred MBA programs. She talked about how one can make themselves a stand-out candidate for these programs and offered so many great tips, that I would not have thought about otherwise. Angel also had great recommendations for what undergraduate students can focus on at every step of their educational journey towards graduate school, which is information that is difficult to glean elsewhere. So, huge thank you to Angel for sharing her tips! It was an incredibly insightful, helpful presentation."
