Lots of folks have provided advice here. TLDR, your mileage may vary.
My experience? I initially Felt uncertain with my coach and their highly hourly rate (they’re always high but mine was at least like 50% some of the others I’ve seen). Had a few chats with them and got a good feeling about it. I Complimented my coaching with using ApplicantLab for essay writing and interviews (which saved me a ton of money from asking my coach Q’s I could learn from the online modules ApplicantLab had).
My coach (Nate from Ivy League Admissions) specialized in HBS and it worked out fantastically for me, so I’m happy about it.
I’ve applied to Harvard before and wish I went down this path earlier. Worth the investment for me.

What do you consider a more lucrative post MBA career? Tech or consulting? My impression is that although consulting lures you in with high base and sign on bonus, tech pay can be commiserate or even more through RSAs. Thoughts?
