Prep MBA Review - Alex Leventhal

Alex came highly recommended by several of my friends who had attended too MBA programs. As I was determined to stay in NYC, I opted for a 2-school package (NYU & Columbia). In our first conversation, Alex was honest with my chances as I was below the average GMAT and GPA for the previous year’s class entering class.

My experience with Alex was top notch. He spent a significant amount of time getting to know me, my career goals and my aspirations which helped go beyond the mindset of answering each question and essay independently. Instead, he saw value and opportunity where I saw trivialities. He pushed me take risks and focus on building a holistic and compelling story with a mix of past achievements combined with my post-graduate vision. For example, I had chosen to write a second essay for the NYU application but given my background and my experiences, he persuaded me to create a presentation for the personal expression, which ultimately ended up paying off.

Alex also prepared me for the interviews. He understands what the schools are looking for and given the time he had previously spent learning about me, was able to help me close the gaps on difficult questions and guide me towards more thoughtful answers.

With his help, I went from looking like a beaten up Volkswagen into a BMW M5. Whether it was the resume, the essays, or the interview, Alex brought valuable experience to the table when I needed it most. Most importantly, I felt that he took the time to understand my background and story. I ultimately was accepted and am excited to begin my MBA classes this fall.

I would recommend Alex Leventhal to anyone applying top MBA programs. He is sincere, passionate, smart, and knows what he is doing. Also, he was very accommodating to my work schedule and last minute questions.
