6. Stress Reduction: Helps transform a typically stressful application process into a more manageable and even enjoyable experience.

I had applied to one MBA school last year - I had no idea how to navigate the process. I reached out to a few consultants who charged exorbitant fees and the one i went with, added little to no value to my application, and (not surprisingly), I was rejected from that school. Granted, my previous application was rushed, I started early this year and purchased onTrack in June. Having gone through the course, I feel three to six months before the application deadlines is the ideal timeframe to engage with this course and see good results.

While the previous application process was extremely stressful for me, this time, with onTrack, it was a much more pleasant experience. The course's structure, content, and Jeremy's professional delivery made me fall in love with the application process! What would otherwise have been an incredibly stressful journey was made significantly more manageable by knowing I was at least putting my best foot forward.

I rated the course 5/5 because:

1. The course covered absolutely everything, comprehensively. From researching programs to writing quality essays, it included individual modules on T15 schools and even showed how to approach the short answers strategically.

2. I found the Resume module particularly exceptional and incredibly helpful!

3. The course provided top-notch sample essays, including before and after versions, which clearly demonstrated what works and what doesn't.

4. The teaching on essay writing was outstanding - covering what to avoid, methodologies, and common pitfalls.

Is the course a replacement for a dedicated MBA admissions consultant? I'd say if we can pair this course with hiring a consultant on an hourly basis for a few hours, that would be the optimal approach. The consultant could help identify any glaring mistakes, but largely, if you follow the course instructions diligently, your application is likely to be strong.

To conclude - is the course worth the time, effort, and price? Absolutely, without a doubt. Caveat : One needs to be prepared to invest at least one to two months of dedicated effort to the process and this course. This is probably not the right fit for those seeking a last-minute solution.
