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.

My journey with Experts Global started through their 15 mock test series which I found really impressive and after trying around 10 other consultants (some of them being outrightly negative about my work experience in a niche industry), I decided to go ahead with EG once again for 3 Canadian Schools (Rotman, Ivey, Schulich (in the same order)). A little bit about my profile - I have ~7 years of experience in Oil and Gas Engineering Consulting with good leadership roles inside and outside of my professional life and a lot of international travel. I had a GMAT of 710, which didn't really open any special doors for. My GPA was 3.67/4 (WES verified). So I had a reasonable profile, but because I had 7 + years of experience I really needed someone who could probe deeper into the experiences and bring out the best ones to be highlighted in my application. The process with EG was just what I needed.
For one, their process is really streamlined so you have clearly set milestones on what to do. Secondly, unlike most other consultants, EG allowed me time to ponder over my experiences and write detailed answers to a set of questions. I took 2 weeks to work through these questions and prepare my answers and by the end of it, I could see a rough story right in front of me. EG also gave detailed guidelines on the approach to arrive at these answers and what are some qualities B-schools really value. Thirdly, the process of choosing schools was something that I wanted to be left to me and EG cooperated in this regard and advised me how best to prepare for each of the schools I was targeting. Additionally, EG always asked for my initial inputs and final close off comments before we started working on any of the essays for the schools. Finally, the interview support was again really helpful as EG provided guidelines and best practices during interviews, allowed me time to prepare answers to some of the common questions (50+ questions, very exhaustive list) and I took a couple of mock interviews with them. Interestingly after my second mock interview, I was told that I was ready and the next day was my interview with Rotman which I aced. I got through with $$ and will be starting the program in Fall 2020. I also received interview invites from Schulich, which I declined because it was lower on my preference list.
