Amazing support from Silpa at Fortuna!

I worked with Silpa for a few months on a comprehensive three-school package during the 2022 application cycle, so she was there to guide me through school selection, CV, essays, letters of recommendations and eventually interviews. From our first exploratory call, I immediately felt comfortable with her, and she was great at reassuring me on timeline and laying things out of how the preparation phase for the application would be split up in the time leading up to application deadlines.

Personally, coming from a finance background and lacking recent experience in writing, I was the most worried about the essay part of the applications and getting them concise (to be within word limit) while representing my story as well as my hopes of getting an MBA. Silpa was very patient with my essay drafts and went into a lot of detail into refining structure as well as content. It was clear that she knew a lot about each school and what each school was 'looking' for. She also has great relationships with the rest of the consulting team at Fortuna who were instrumental to helping me with finalizing essays and eventually practice interviews. I'm really glad to say that with the help of Silpa, I gained admission to Columbia Business School with a full scholarship!

Silpa is a great balance of being friendly and casual while staying professional and straightforward, which I definitely appreciated given how tricky it was already to balance work and applications. She was also always super quick with turning around anything I gave her to review. I would highly recommend Silpa as a partner and advisor for anyone's MBA journey!
