A New Professional Friend

I am an Asian male with a mediocre GPA and never worked nor studied oversee. Before reaching out to mbaMission, I targeted several top 30 (global) schools but was unconfident of my profile. Result: I got admitted to 2 top-15 schools with a total scholarship value of 5x my initial consulting full-package fee.

Here how Krista helped:
1. She learned in detail about my early days and professional life, paying attention to many anecdotes that cumulatively shaped who I am. The events were there, but Krista kept pushing me to go deeper and to reveal the impacts they had on my personality. The second-order reflection was truly meaningful for me, as I even felt more understanding about myself and my future objectives.

2. She helped analyze the essay questions and outlined suitable structures with relevant "raw data" so that I can put in my words more easily (this is a really hard process when I did it before independently). Then she advised me to streamline the essay and keep the core portion (the wording limit is there and I always find my initial drafts 1.5-2x longer).

3. For the interview, Krista walked me through "newbie" to "robot" and then "natural" stage, which made me felt really confident being myself on the "super day".

The best part of this whole process was that I felt Krista was both a close friend and an attentive mentor who even understands me more than I do. I even missed her frequent emails and correspondence when the applications were settled.

I honestly think that the Start-to-Finish package with Krista (and mbaMission) was one of the 2 best value-for-money investments that I have ever made.
