Alex Leventhal, Prep MBA, Reviews

I approached a number of consultancy services before I decided on Alex Leventhal from Prep MBA. Alex’s service stood out because he really took time to understand my case instead of applying a cookie cutter approach. In the initial meeting he mentioned the positives and negatives of my case without BS. His honesty, humor, and no-nonsense way of approaching the essays stood out over others. I immediately signed-up for a 3 school package and ended up only using 2 because I got into my first choice school, London Business School.

The structured approach that Alex takes is instrumental in writing winning essays. His approach spends a significant am time on the initial phase where we focused on understanding “My” reasons for an MBA, my past, my future plans, and my school selection. With this understanding, the essays were straight forward and the focus was on conveying the stories in a convincing fashion. This process of discovering and conveying my story was not easy, but my writing skills and my narrative significantly improved as a result of the meticulous approach he proposed. Throughout the process I always got responses from him within a day.

The other aspect that really stood out was his inputs on my interviewing. I had never formally interviewed before so this was really important to me. His style encourages you to be yourself during the entire process and engage the audience while rectifying errors that causes you to lose their attention.

I would strongly recommend Alex to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, meticulous, and extremely smart admissions consultant to work with. You will not only get great personalized help with your essays, but you will also gain skills that will be useful in many walks of life.
