Exceptional Guidance and Personalized Support for MBA Applications from Anju Goela, The Red Pen

Strengths:

The MBA package offered by Anju and The Red Pen team stands out for its exceptional personalized services. They take the time to truly understand your background, goals, and aspirations, ensuring every part of your application reflects your best self. One of the biggest strengths of their approach is their persistence in crafting the perfect essays—they meticulously work through multiple iterations to magnify the strengths of your narrative and make your story compelling. Additionally, their attention to detail goes beyond just essays; they thoroughly review every aspect of your application, including the form, to ensure consistency and alignment with your overall profile. This comprehensive, tailored support makes the entire process feel seamless and significantly boosts your confidence as an applicant.

Would make the product better:

One area where I feel the process could improve is the interview preparation. The package included just one mock interview, which felt a bit limiting for someone like me who needed more practice and candid feedback to refine my responses.

Working with Anju was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. From day one, she took the time to understand me—my background, my goals, and what I wanted to achieve with an MBA. She guided me through the entire process, from choosing schools to perfecting my essays and preparing for interviews.

What really stood out was her dedication. She went through countless drafts with me, and her feedback always helped me get closer to the perfect version of my application. It wasn’t always easy—there were definitely moments when I felt overwhelmed—but her encouragement and belief in me made all the difference.

In the end, I got into my top-choice MBA program out of the four schools I applied to in Round 1, and I couldn’t have done it without her. If you’re looking for someone who will be your biggest cheerleader while also giving you honest, actionable advice, Anju is the one.
