I was struggling with whether or not to work with a consultant. Would it be worth the money? After hours of work on my essays and only minimally helpful feedback from my parents and friends, I decided to work with John from mbaMission to help get my essays to a better place. John was able to provide very specific and helpful feedback from the perspective of someone in an admissions office. Because he didn't know me as well as many of my friends, he was able to point out parts of my narrative that were confusing or didn't speak for themselves. He didn't have all of the back story, only what was written on the page. This objective, outside point of view was extremely beneficial. In some cases, it caused me to rethink my essay topic all together which, while painful at the time, was worth it in the long run. In other cases, it encouraged me to continue with a train of thought and make it even better. This December, I was admitted to two of the three programs I applied to and received merit scholarships from both. I don't think this would have been possible without John's support. The one thing to keep in mind is that mbaMission has certain turnaround times so make sure you plan ahead and lead plenty of time for edits. Ultimately, yes, it was worth the money and was very encouraging and helpful throughout the process. It was great to know you had an 'expert' on your side.
