What Gradmissions' clients say

Client Testimonials

You don’t have to take our word for it

Autumn’s decade-long experience in grad school admissions gave me clarity on the admissions process, creativity in my self-presentation, and confidence in my ability to gain acceptance into my dream school.

Sarah M. (Applicant)

“Thanks to Autumn, my husband and I avoided the conflict of constantly reminding our son of deadlines and nudging him along the application path. She helped our son strategize his shadowing hours and extracurriculars to really stand out and she kept him on a strict timeline for MCAT prep and the application cycle. Our son was admitted to his first choice school with a scholarship!”

From total confusion to total clarity

I had no idea how to even start applying to law school. Autumn helped me figure out everything, from whether to include college jobs on my résumé to how to frame my GPA. Her strategic planning and Sunday check-ins kept me grounded. Without her, my applications wouldn't have been nearly as competitive. I don’t know if I would have been admitted at all without her, but she helped me get in and we negotiated a $210K unconditional scholarship!

Real talk, real results

Other consultants I spoke with were weirdly negative or full of guarantees they couldn’t back up. Autumn gave it to me straight, told me where I could realistically thrive, and then helped me get there.

For the LSAT accommodation game-changer

I didn’t even know I could ask for testing accommodations. Autumn helped me navigate the LSAC process, and it was a total game-changer. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be starting law school with confidence or a scholarship without her guidance.

Personal > Polished

I didn’t realize how formal and flat my writing sounded until Autumn helped me see where I was hiding. She taught me how to bring my personality onto the page, without losing professionalism. It made all the difference in my interviews, too. I knew what questions I was going to be asked and where to draw answers from in my application essays.

Mock interview magic

Wherever I interviewed, I got in. That’s not a coincidence. Autumn’s interview prep was exacting, strategic, and incredibly personalized. We didn’t just practice; we optimized every answer, every pause, every story.

Coaching for more than admissionS

Working with GradMissions wasn’t just about getting into med school. It was about learning to advocate for myself. Autumn helped me see that being assertive isn't entitlement; it’s preparation. That mindset is coming with me into medicine.

Support that flexes with your life

I was navigating student loans, transitioning from a full-time job, and applying to school for the first time in years. Autumn didn’t just meet me where I was. She anticipated what I’d need next. The accessibility and reassurance were priceless.
