Dear All,
Hope this finds you in the peak of health and spirits!
Since 2008, Experts’ Global has helped hundreds of students secure admissions among the world’s most prominent institutions. A small team of dedicated mentors, passionate about imparting authentic mentoring, we consult only a handful of students every year. We take pride in the way we do it!
Before a student enrolls, one needs to undergo an exhaustive profile evaluation post which, a ‘Guarantee Statement’, assuring the least possible results and scholarship is personalized. Hence, one enrolls only if the expectations of results are in sync with our assessment. In an unlikely scenario that the guarantee statement is not met, despite a student’s due cooperation and following our advice, 100% fee is refunded- something that is yet to happen!
The entire applications process is divided into ~40 milestones, with clear deliverables from the student as well as each member of team assigned to the student. Simply follow your personalized ‘Apps Planner’, honoring the deadlines, and you will see that the applications process is completed in a smooth manner and you get your share of ‘results’ as well as ‘learning’ from the very meaningful MBA applications journey!
Our team works with a student for ‘results’. Thus, we don’t work on ‘hours of consulting’, ‘number of iterations’, ‘essays only’, ‘interview-prep-on-extra-charges’ kind of models. To get results, a student must perform on all facets of the applications. Therefore, when a student enrolls with us, a team of specialists is assigned: an Advising Mentor who defines the theme of application and choice of schools, a Writing Mentor who guides in preparing impeccable and impactful essays, an Applications Mentor who helps with the online application, resume, and recommendation letters, and an Interview Mentor, who helps with rigorous interview preparation. There is no cap on anything and the intent is to ‘mentor’ the students. Result of this approach is authentic, holistic admissions consulting that leads to a smooth experience and robust results!
Under-promise | Ownership of Results | Originality of Work. Spare two minutes on the following video to get a macro-view of our approach and values.
Thank you for your thought and reading this far.
Best wishes,
Experts’ Global Team

My Questions for the Experts:

[Note: The acceptance rate for the MILR program is typically between 35% and 40%.]
Do I even have a chance considering my profile and test scores described in the previous paragraphs?
Q2. Cornell MILR mean GMAT score is 680 (Q47, V36) & I have 700 (Q49, V35).
• But my verbal score is 1 point below the Verbal mean score.
• Additionally, I have only IR3.
• Besides we have to account for the fact that I’m Indian + Male + Engineer being from an overrepresented demographic segment
Will I have to retake the GMAT or my present score is competitive enough?
Q3. Is community service experience a must to show some involvement outside of work?
Thanking in advance

I have recently decided to take a plunge to the MIM courses at France after recommendations from me seniors. They have told me it's a great job and even though it's hard to get a job but eventually we will end up getting one. Whereas, so many sources on the internet say it's not possible and its a waste of investment. Can someone throw some light on this?
All the answers on the internet are majorly by one person who owns a MIM related website which seems like a marketing material all the time.
Can any present or recent graduates throw light on the reality? Thanks!
