Jessica Chung Reviews

At first, I was deciding whether it would be worth the $12,000 investment for the Comprehensive School package, given the amount of money it would cost. I soon learned it would absolutely be worth it, and just a few times within meeting Jessica, I knew I had made the right decision.

She was able to take my profile, someone with a low GPA and GMAT, and transform the rest of my application into its best possible form to present myself in the best light to some of the top MBA programs in the country.

She worked with me to perfect my essays, resume, and pitch, to give my candidacy the best possible chance to be admitted into at least one the schools I applied to.

Jessica coached me and worked with me in an extremely positive and encouraging way to make sure I would leave no stone unturned when presenting myself, especially given my lower numbers.

She was always kind, transparent, and an absolute pleasure to work with, and clearly knows given her experience what it takes to get into Business School.

Through all my work with her, I was able to be admitted into both UCLA Anderson and USC Marshall's programs, with much lower numbers than both school's average. I know for a fact I would not have gotten into either of those had it not been through my work with her to make sure my application was giving it's best light.

I would highly recommend Jessica to any prospective MBA Candidate applicant, and especially if your GPA and test score numbers were lower than most top school averages, like mine were, as she will make sure your application is in its' best form and give you the best possible chance to be admitted with your individual story.

5/5 experience without a doubt!

Jessica Chung was an amazing coach! She was able to give me all the help I needed under a tight deadline. She really helped to highlight my strengths and pushed me to go deeper in some of the essays that I wouldn't have worked on so much had I not had her guidance. I also really liked how Fortuna has a second counselor look at your resume and essays so you have more than one opinion before you submit anything. They did a fantastic job of helping demonstrate my strengths after receiving slightly lower than average GRE scores and I was successful in getting into all schools, including my top choice, Anderson.

I worked with Jessica and (Michael) to apply for 5 schools and thankfully was admitted into Ross and UCLA!

Working with Jessica was invaluable for my MBA application process. Jessica is really experienced and created a sense of structure for me to follow throughout the long and arduous application.

I especially appreciated her patience over the multiple iterations on the various essays to craft a coherent story for what my career goals were and why I needed an MBA.

Her guidance during the mock interview was also key for me to speak confidently and concisely during the actual interviews, helping me impress the interviewers.

Overall, I'm happy that I had the opportunity to work with Jessica and would recommend her to anyone looking to apply for an MBA.

During my application, Jessica helped me define my career goals more clearly, which was essential to better decide on the schools I wanted to apply to. Jessica is extremely detailed and is always available for any questions. In addition, the support of Julia Brady in reviewing my essays was key to polishing them and giving them greater consistency.
I highlight their patience and unconditional support to guide me to show my best in the essays and interview. Without their support, I would not have managed to enter a top mba in the USA after being invited to several interviews. I totally recommend them!

I am so grateful to have found Jessica during my application process.
From our very first conversation, I felt comfortable and immediately trusted her expertise and knowledge. I didn't know where to start, and really only knew what schools I wanted to apply to. She helped me figure out what to prioritize, challenged me to think beyond my goals, and provided super applicable feedback from start to finish. She brings significant experience to the table, and was incredibly valuable when I had UCLA and USC specific questions. The insight and support that she provided, specifically with my resume, essays, and admissions decisions, allowed me to stay confident throughout the entire process. With her help I was able to get into UCLA and USC! I highly recommend Jessica for all admissions/application services!

Jessica Chung was EXTREMELY helpful in my process of re-applying to UCLA Anderson School of Business's Full-Time MBA Program. Because I had already written my application essays and filled out most of the application, I came to Jessica for specific feedback on my essays and overall application approach. Not only was she extremely willing to chat over the phone and work through my essays and questions (she was very generous with her time!), but she was able to give me direct advice that was specific to Anderson. It was very evident that Jessica had Admissions Committee experience throughout the process and I have no doubt that Jessica would be an amazing resource for anyone applying to Anderson or another MBA school, whether for hourly services or a more comprehensive admissions consultant package.

I had an immensely positive experience with Jessica! From the beginning, Jessica was warm and understanding. She helped me draw out my impact through several iterations of my resume. When we began brainstorming essays, Jessica pointed to specific things I wrote in the strategy questionnaire as well as information she gleaned from our conversations that she found resonant. Through the editing process, Jessica helped ensure that my voice and personality came through clearly, whilst one of the directors, Bill Kooser, provided very pragmatic feedback. She provided very actionable constructive comments when preparing for the video essays and interviews. When it came time for my Kellogg interview, she reached out to Willie Kotas, another amazing coach who is a Kellogg alum and has had extensive experience as alumni interviewer. Willie's feedback proved instrumental in helping me perform well on the interview!

Overall, Jessica consistently made herself available to answer any questions I had and was extremely great at managing my anxieties! If you want someone who cares about you as a person and who will help you communicate that to the adcoms, Jessica is the perfect consultant! Thank you Jessica!

Fortuna was an amazing consulting experience. I went with them after Stacy Blackman told me I shouldn't even bother with my top two choices (UCLA & USC). After the initial consultation, I got to chat with a few consultants to see who aligned with my goals the best. I went with Jessica, and by extension Lisa, because they matched my goals closely. This was the best decision! Jessica was amazing, she helped me with the entire process from A to Z. Without her or Lisa I wouldn't have interviewed everywhere I applied. With her help I was admitted to USC and am waiting on decision to UCLA. She was wonderful to work with and very professional. She guided me through every step and eased by anxiety throughout the whole process. I couldn't recommend the both of them enough, and I am very grateful to them and all their help.

I chose to go with Fortuna after my initial consultation paired me with Jessica. Her background and experience closely aligned with my interests and the top school I was considering, which made it an easy decision to chose Jessica/Fortuna over other consultants.

I come from a fairly non-traditional background and had scores slightly below the average for my top schools. Jessica did an amazing job helping me frame my experiences and define my story in a way that ultimately set me up for success throughout the application process. Our conversations were always candid, constructive, and helped me reflect more about why I am pursuing an MBA and what my ambitions are. I was admitted to my top choice school for their full-time MBA program after applying in Round 2, and I don't think that would have been possible without Jessica's help and support. Thank you Jessica!

I wanted to apply for USC or UCLA for MBA because I live in Los Angeles area. Fortuna was very helpful in matching Jessica with me. I really enjoy the process that we set up multiple calls in different phases and I was able to complete an outstanding resume and essay within 3 weeks! I only used 4 hours of consulting services I would say that the money was well spent! After I got the interview, Jessica also gave me tips to prepare for the interview as well as lots of follow up! She was really helpful throughout the process and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to apply for an MBA.
