Hey Guys - I had 4.5 years of work experience with EY and had a GMAT Score of 680 (V49 Q34). My target schools were ISB and NTU. It was a below par score for all of these schools and being a GEM (General, Engineer, and Male) candidate, I was sure it would be tough to get into any of these schools. I gave GMAT Online exam on Oct 13th and was quite disappointed with the scores, especially when I was scoring ~720 in my official mocks. But as I already missed the R1 deadlines and R2 deadlines were round the corner, I decided to go ahead with this score. Since my score was not competitive and it was extremely hectic at workplace, I thought of taking help from an admission consultant. I was really confused when it came to selecting the right admission consulting service as the market is now flooded with consultants. I took assistance from two different admission consulting services - One for NTU (Admitted) and One for ISB (Denied without interview).
Coordinating with 2 different admission consultant wasn’t easy as I had to fill different profiling questionnaires and had to get on brainstorming sessions with different people.
The entire process for NTU (that I did with Experts’ Global) was much better. At Experts’ Global, they work with thousands of candidates every year, therefore the process is much more professional and streamlined. The mentors were very helpful and supportive. As I got enrolled, I was given a task schedule which was continuosly tracked by the EG team.
Process: The entire process was very streamlined. Experts’ Global team shared a list of good videos around the application process to watch. Then I was asked to fill in a school selection and profiling questionnaire that helped Experts’ Global team to know me better. All the tasks, from initial questionnaire to your admit, have a very fixed timelines. EG team regularly followed up with me to ensure there are no delays. Genuine concerns around the timelines were incorporated. For example, I requested them to delay the mock interview timeline which they readily incorporated.
Essays and Resume Editing: The quality of essays were top notch. But you have to read them carefully and ask for the required edits to make the stories more personalised and aligned with your own goals. The essay mentor was helpful and we made at least 2-3 round of edits in my essays.
Interview Prep: You get a list of the most common and the most important questions. These questions are quite useful. Then you get couple of mock interview sessions by the interview mentor. The interview mentor at EG is very experienced and I got really helpful feedback on the structure and content of my answers and also the delivery.
Although I’m extremely happy with the NTU admit, but beyond the results, I want to thank the entire team for the mentorship and continuous support. While the other consultant had a ton of good reviews on different platforms, he was quoted by Poets and Quants as a top admission consultant, and was slightly more expensive, I found Experts’ Global’s experience to be much better. Having worked with 2 different consultants, I can strongly recommend Experts’ Global. Though I learnt a lot by working with 2 different admission consultants, I regret not going with Experts’ Global for my ISB Application. I wish you don’t make the same mistake. All the best guys !!!

I had a great experience working with the Experts Apps Team. They follow a very streamlined and systematic process. Working with them has also given me great insights into the admissions process. Loved the concept of the planner. The only thing required from the students' end is sticking to the timelines (Of course they'll also go out of their way to help even if you don't). All of my queries were answered soon as I raised them, just an email or call away. I'll highly recommend this to everyone. Moreover, I'll definitely go with them again for my future endeavors. :)

They helped me a lot in guiding me and writing my essays.
Only thing they need to improve I think is to be a little more helpful in selecting the schools and guiding why the said schools may be better considering one's profile and experience.
Otherwise they have a proper procedure in place for everything and they are always ready to help.
First they get to know you through a questionnaire and then they fix your long term and short term goals.
They will help you write all your essays and help you along the way but you also need to put equal efforts.
I took counselling for six schools from them and I was able to clear one because of them.

Every part of the process is very structured - right from CV refining to school selection to the actual admission process. The team was very approachable throughout the process. I was able to build a strong and apt narrative of my application story with Experts' Global.
The school selection process really helped me in getting the best-fit schools for my profile.
The timeline put together by the team was very resourceful in submitting the applications well in advance.
The interview prep involved a very descriptive questionnaire that would help you introspect a lot which ultimately helps you in delivering your interview answers in the best possible manner.

I am from Brazil and I applied with a Brazilian consultant in the 2020 cycle with a 630 GMAT to a number of top 15-30 schools. I got 3 waitlists (Cornell (no interview), UNC (with interview) and Georgetown (with interview). For the 2021 cycle, I saw the deal that Expert's Global had with GMAT + Consulting, and the price was in close to my budget. I enjoyed the process because the team is very straightforward, organized and flexible to changes and discussions. The team works very well trough email, and for those who like to get phone calls, they will do it a lot if you wish to! The team met my expectations because they improved a lot my essays and helped me create my re-applicants and optional essays in a structured and solid form. One challenge for those who are international (US not first language) is the Indian accent through the calls (I had some difficulty in some cases, but hey! I am international as well, so I think it worked both ways :). With the Expert's GMAT prep I managed to get a 660, and I believe that because of that I managed to get accepted in Georgetown, Esade and Bocconi. In the end I just applied for these 3 schools, so I got a 100% application success. I believe that if I got a more competitive GMAT score, they would definitely help me to get into one of my dream schools (Cornell, Yale or Oxford), but I did not want to spend $250 for each school, since GT, ESADE and Bocconi are top tier schools!
Pros: competitive price, very good communication (emails, phone calls, skype, interview prep) and objective driven.
They will do everything they can to help you get a Scholarship!
Cons: GMAT online course was very good, but I think that the quizzes and questions are not similar to the real GMAT questions.
Personal Opinion: if your budget is moderate, definitely Expert's Global must be in the decision picture. However, for those who has the ways and means $$$$$$, I believe there are consultants that can provide a more intimate and strong application prep in general.

Assisted with school shortlisting and directed my attention to schools I hadn't considered. Ended up getting admitted to all schools applied to. Great resume review, great storytelling for essays. Useful feedback during interview prep.
The mock interview sessions were very useful for me. I had about three sessions (can't remember the exact number) that were concise and helped me in streamlining my answers to the MBA interview questions. Such that, during my interviews my answers were almost by rote but did not come out sounding rehearsed. I remember I had a mock once with an alumni before I started the mock with experts global and the difference in storytelling, presentation and confidence pre-experts global and post-experts global was immense.

While starting out to apply for my MBA from a reputed school, I was initially weighing up a lot of options. I had my GMAT score ready, a faint idea of my dream schools, and lowkey confidence in my profile to make the cut.
But it had all to take shape, in proper, condensed format so as to impress the admission committee. This is where Experts Global came in. I was not sure of their quality initially, and was almost signing up with another Indian firm (which are anyways few and far between, compared to international ones).
I opted for their 2-school package, among several options. Among the 2 schools, I requested them to include HEC Paris, my dream school since long, when they drew up the school shortlist, based on my overall profile of Male, Indian, Engineer without a striking GMAT score (I know, same boat). That agreed, my onus now fell on providing detailed, nuanced answers to their carefully prepared questionnaire, that really helps to bring the much-needed clarity into your future ambitions.
I'd say, spending hours soul-searching the answers on the questionnaire, was what set me up for the eventual successful admit into the #1 Business School in Europe currently (Financial Times, 2020). Without the thoughtful, always-by-your-side, reassuring guidance from EG, my application wouldn't have been as strong as it eventually turned out to be. Their resume-creation process was the personal highlight for me, and I'm sure would be yours too. Meticulously drafted into the ideal one-pager format, after countless revisions, shows not only their expertise in MBA admissions, but also their genuine intent of guiding us aspirants, to our longstanding goal.
I recommend Experts Global to bring clarity into your MBA application process, as eventually that's what will shine through in the interviews as well, where their videos and pointers once again benefited me before the intense, often tricky questions by the panel, in real time.

If I were to rate my whole experience with Experts’ Global on a holistic level, it was good.
They are very good at their job. Highly professional ,with the way they work.
To be honest, I was bit intimidated with the whole process but eventually, their way made sense to me. They were very helpful at every step.
Greatest strength is their very transparent process, you can view your updates, answers to your questions on a online spreadsheet, promptly updated by your assigned counsellor.
Also, Experts' were generous enough to provide me with complementary access to their GMAT portal for a month, seeing that my exam was near when I approached them.
One suggestion : The counsellors could be a little more approachable. Like, while searching for schools, initially, I had very less idea on how to go about it, looking back I think, a little more help on that part would have benefited me a lot in my school search.

Belonging to a competitive pool of candidates applying to business schools, I felt I brought very little to the table apart from my experience in my first company.
Experts Global Apps team’s approach made me dig deep into my past (personal/ academic/professional) experiences, bringing out qualities and attributes that proved valuable to schools.
I chose the whole package from GMAT course to application prep and it was very resourceful. Experts Global Apps team takes the effort of getting to know the candidate and helps them shortlist schools that best fits his or her profile. They helped me perfect my application to each school by breaking down the entire process into small milestones so I was not overwhelmed. In case of any query, all I had to do was reach out to them and they were very prompt with their responses. They also helped me prep for interview through mock interviews and other tools. They helped me with the entire application process with their structured approach, guiding me through important deadlines. Overall my experience was less stressful thanks to them. Highly recommend Experts Global.

Experts' Global Apps team helped me to tell my story in the best way possible. The team provided me a detailed questionnaire which helped me to think about the questions and instances which were would become the key elements of my story and would highlight my strengths and show how I have grown in my professional journey. They pushed me to stay on track to meet the timelines, helped me with as many mock interviews as required, and also were very quick to respond to any of my questions and doubts.
The support of the team helped me to make time for essays and interviews in spite of a busy work schedule. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for MBA admission consulting.
