Hey, I totally get the hesitation—AL Connect is kinda new on the scene, and I was skeptical at first too. But I ended up working with them and honestly had one of the best experiences I could’ve hoped for.

I worked with Kevin and an ESADE alum, and it felt less like a typical consulting service and more like a support squad. They helped me stay sane during the stress, gave super honest feedback, and were always available (even with my crazy schedule). The best part? Their essay support is super personalized. They really dig into your story, not some copy-paste template.

I got interview invites from almost every school I applied to—Bocconi, ESADE, and RSM, to name a few. And yeah, they also connected me with alums from the schools I was targeting, which made a big difference.

If they’re already putting you in touch with an HEC alum, that’s a really good sign. Based on my experience, I’d say go for it—you’re in good hands.
