I first heard about Fortuna Admissions through my sister, who had engaged their services years ago in her own MBA journey, and spoke highly of their level of professionalism and high quality of their services. I contacted Fortuna and after a short period of deliberation, I decided to settle on Lisa Bevill as my personal coach in my own MBA journey based on the list of programs I had planned to apply to. This choice of mine was probably one of the best I have ever made in my life.

Words alone does not do justice to Lisa for her invaluable contributions to my own journey. I was concerned when I first embarked on my journey that I might not possess the qualities that my desired programs was looking for. But Lisa never once doubted that I had what it takes to be a part of those MBA programs. Throughout the application process, she was extremely attentive, being responsive to requests for help whenever it was possible, consistently reviewed my applications, gave helpful hints and insights as to the admission process of each school and what the school wants from each candidate, provided feedback where necessary to add impact to my applications, and most importantly of all, provided motivational support that encouraged me to put my fears aside and move on; that last point is something I cherished the most, for it gave me the courage to move on when fear threatened to overwhelm me.

For these reasons stated above, I would highly recommend Lisa Bevill, and by extension, the team at Fortuna Admissions, for providing such personalised and fabulous service to clients!

THANK YOU FORTUNA !

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by membership [?]

Hello friends !

My name is Ashish . I am a Mechanical Engineer , currently working in oil sector company Indian Oil Corporation Limited.

I was invited for interview by IE Business School and Indian School of Business . The day i received the invite , I joined Fortuna Admissions for the traditional interview preparation . The reason was the encouraging and cooperative attitude of Matt Symonds Sir during the Fortuna free consultation.

I was fortunate to be mentored by Lisa Ma'am (Former Admissions Director, IE Business School) . She conducted mock interviews , guided me on all aspects of my application , and provided detailed feedbacks for improvement .

Being from an over-represented pool of Indian Engineers and from a non-native English speaking country , initially I was nervous of the intense competition , but Lisa ma'am was very supportive throughout the process .Her greatest strength is that she treats her students as friends and follows a constructive approach when correcting their mistakes. Moreover , the words of wisdom from Lisa ma'am also helped me a lot in my interview of Indian Business School .

I have been admitted to both IE Business School and Indian School of Business. Joining Fortuna admissions was the best decision I made in my MBA journey .I recommend the same to all MBA aspirants !

Thank you Fortuna !

I am very satisfied with the coaching Fortuna provided me. I came with very little knowledge of the business school world and without their help, I wouldn't have been successful. The most useful part was the momentum Fortuna enabled me, given all the things I had to do, not just the application. Of course, their expertise was key, helping me to understand how to communicate more effectively. I appreciated the ability to talk directly in order to clarify points and fully understand expectations. We did it and it was great! Now I am at INSEAD and I love it, thank you Fortuna !
