Amazing consultant: Heidi Granner

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Heidi was an amazing consultant!
She made a true effort to understand me and who I was and where I would be a best fit for my MBA. She helped me narrow down my schools to 6 schools that we felt I would be the best fit for. After that we worked together to really bring the best out in me in terms of everything and she really helped me stay on top of things! I ended up receiving acceptances to 4 out of 6 of my schools and was waitlisted on one other one! I got into my top choice Umich Ross and I will be attending there this fall! I can't recommend Heidi and mbaMission enough!!

Absolutely amazing support

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I had the privilege of working with Heidi throughout my MBA application journey and I could not be more grateful. I initially signed up for a 3-school package, but eventually decided to apply to 3 more schools in round 2. Through the process, Heidi has been nothing short of amazing as she helped me with narrowing down schools that would best fit my goals, highlighting key points in my personal story, and providing thoughtful feedback on any questions or concerns I had.

Even after I had applied to the 3 target schools in my package, she continued providing additional support and essay tips for my schools in round 2. I can confidently say she does not hesitate to go above and beyond for her clients.

Although I was initially hesitant, looking back now I can say that investing in the service has been one of the best decisions I've made and I have no idea how I would have tackled this process without her guidance. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Heidi as she has been fantastic and will definitely help you achieve your goals!

Insightful With Great Value Added

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Heidi was wonderful throughout the entire process. As a reapplicant, I could easily see how she was helping the clarity of my application through her artful guidance and deft editing.

On the front end, she helped me to identify those personal narratives which were best suited towards my target programs. Then on the back end, she also helped me to excise those parts of my application which detracted from my school specific personal narrative.

I will absolutely recommend her to any person who is applying to business school in my personal or professional life. She was a true pleasure to work with.

M7 Acceptances - Thank you Heidi!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Heidi Granner was instrumental in shaping my story for my applications, bringing in experiences going back to my childhood to really build out my profile. She was always responsive to various questions and concerns throughout the process and was a great sounding board. Once I received interview invites, she was also a great resource to do several mock interviews with, going through many aspects from how to dress, how to present myself, to how to answer tough questions. While hiring a consultant was definitely a significant investment, working with Heidi really paid off in the end with multiple acceptances including M7 schools and significant scholarships. Would highly recommend!

Amazing support from Heidi Granner

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I had the pleasure of working with Heidi Granner during my MBA application process, and I can confidently say it was an enjoyable experience. From start to finish, the process was seamless thanks to Heidi's exceptional organization skills. Her ability to break down tasks and help me set achievable goals alleviated much of the stress associated with applying to MBA programs.

Heidi's support throughout the process was invaluable. Despite the inherent stress of applying to top-tier schools, I felt reassured knowing that she was always available to offer guidance and assistance. Her thoughtful approach and willingness to go above and beyond ensured that I never felt overwhelmed or alone.

In terms of helpfulness, Heidi exceeded my expectations. While I initially had a clear idea of what I wanted to convey in my essays, Heidi encouraged me to delve deeper into my life experiences and goals. Through our collaboration, I found myself revisiting and refining my narrative in ways I hadn't anticipated. In the end, my essay practically wrote itself, and I owe much of that success to Heidi's expertise and support.

And the ultimate outcome speaks volumes: I was accepted into Stanford! Heidi's guidance undoubtedly played a significant role in this achievement, and I couldn't be more grateful. Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Heidi to anyone embarking on their MBA journey. Her combination of kindness, intelligence, and insight creates a supportive environment where applicants can thrive and succeed.

Heidi Granner is the secret to M7 MBA application success!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Heidi is an absolutely amazing MBA consultant, but she is much more than! She's the mentor and coach you want to have on your side during an application process which can be tedious, nerve-wracking, and filled with ups and downs. Heidi really tries to understand you as a unique individual and has an invaluable knack for identifying the best aspects of your personality (which you might not have considered) to make you shine in a crowded applicant pool.

She is a breeze to work with and her rapid response times, thoughtful and creative suggestions and perennially positive attitude will provide a much-needed anchor when you're juggling your professional responsibilities with multiple applications and myriad essay prompts.

If you want to shoot for a top business school, look no further than Heidi and mbaMission!

Incredible Consultant

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Heidi Granner is an incredible consultant. She is knowledgeable about how to be as prepared as possible for the long application process, how to assess the differences among schools, and how to craft your essays in a way that highlights your strengths for admissions. I asked Heidi for advice on school selection, essay topics, resume structure and so much more and she was always responsive and supportive. She was also incredibly savvy and accurate in her advice. I was accepted to every school that I applied to (including scholarship money at 4/5), and I know that I could not have done that without Heidi.

Overrepresented Finance Candidate

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Heidi took the time to truly get to know me and help shape my application to stand out amongst my peers within the finance industry. She truly brought out parts of my past (professional and personal) that I never would have thought to include. It felt like she knew me better than lifelong friends and that I wasn't just a number to her. She was also realistic about setting expectations for the schools I was applying to and my chances. Ultimately, she helped me get into three M7 programs, including receiving a scholarship, which I would have never imagined given the overrepresentation of my profile. I gained comfort in selecting Heidi in hearing the ideas she already had for me and my application during our 15 minute intro call.

Very best b-school prepration service

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

My consultant was Heidi Garner. She guided me through the process of choosing business schools. I aimed to apply to 20 top schools in a short period. After extensive discussions, we carefully selected six fitting options and prepared the necessary materials. Heidi was accurate and concise in helping me highlight key differentiators in both my essays and resume. Although crafting the first draft took time, it was worth it. My second Kellogg essay was so impactful that made myself cry!
It was a very hard job for me and Heidi to create a unique and impactful story since I used GMAT waivers. Thus, the story should have been very perfect to be shortlisted for an interview and we successfully made it!
I prepared my applications for Kellogg, Sloan, Darden, Ross, Johnson, and Questrom, securing interviews for 4/6. Heidi remained humble and approachable throughout the whole process, patiently answering all my questions. After receiving the interviews, she generously provided a free one-hour mock interview and gave me detailed feedback on how to answer the questions, prepare the logistics, and dress. All helped me secure a seat in my dream school!
In the end, I got admissions to Kellogg, Ross, and Questrom—and a waitlist for Johnson. Truly the best moment of my academic journey!
I truly enjoyed my experience working with mbaMission and Heidi and recommend their service.

GSB Bound Thanks to Heidi!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I worked with Heidi on a 4-school package prior to R1 applications. From our first interactions, I could tell she was extremely knowledgeable and more importantly, deeply cared about understanding me and my goals to help me put my best foot forward.

After walking through my background and talking through my post-MBA career goals, Heidi helped me select target programs that were most closely aligned with my aspirations. Once I had submitted my detailed brainstorming document, Heidi came to all of our essay brainstorming calls with awesome ideas on different parts of my background that I could weave together into a cohesive story. She even pulled together a day by day calendar of application milestones I needed to hit over the summer to make sure all my applications would be ready in time.

Heidi was wholeheartedly committed to making sure I submitted the best possible application. I frequently scheduled short check-ins with Heidi to talk through different essay ideas or get some nagging questions answered. We once rewrote the opening paragraph of one of my essays 7 or 8 different times to make sure it conveyed what we wanted it to. She helped revamp and wordsmith my resume and almost always returned documents I had shared for review well ahead of schedule. In the final weeks before submission, she was gracious enough to work with my recommenders to make sure they got all their questions answered about writing my letters. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate was incredibly appreciated by all of us.

With Heidi's help, I was admitted to GSB, Wharton, Kellogg, Yale, and Darden, and was fortunate to receive full rides or significant scholarships everywhere. This truly would not have been possible without Heidi's guidance and support. There is seriously no better partner / cheerleader to have by your side throughout the MBA application process than Heidi. She is simply the best!
