Mariane Hotta Reviews

Company: Admissionado

Born and raised in Brazil, Mariane Hotta decided to return home after 10 years in consulting to become CFO of her family business (and catch up on all of her favorite Brazilian soap operas!).

After graduating with a degree in industrial engineering, Mariane traveled all over South America, Spain and the U.S during her years as a consultant. She loves traveling and learning different languages, although, despite her best efforts, she can only have a meaningful conversation in Portuguese or English.

She received her MBA from Harvard Business School in 2009 and for the last two years she has been working on restructuring projects, mainly focused on the turnaround of her family business in Brazil. To clear her mind, Mariane loves watching Pedro Almodovar and Woody Allen movies, practicing yoga and running (whenever her two little boys allow her to do so!). With a love for meeting people from different cultures, she is very excited to learn about your unique background as an MBA admissions consultant.

Consultant Mariane Hotta

At first I had my reservations in hiring a US service since I am here in Brazil so all the interactions would be using Skype, E-mail, etc.

Are they going to be responsive? Are they going to understand my background? If I am not happy, will they listen my complains and act accordingly so I could met the b-school deadlines? Will we work as a team or in a scheme "shut up and listen" because they are the expert here?

Well, after the first interactions with the whole team of admissionado and the call with my future consultant, I got convinced that they truly wanted to help me. They cared to listen my background, my desires about the right bschool and culture fit, so they could create a tailor made plan to put me in my dream school. Considering my background is not so often found among the applicants as well as my personal desires were a little peculiar, they succeed in understand me as a whole person to take it into account while building the "application plan" for me.

They knowledge about the application process (essays, LORs, resume, interviews) is fenomenal, they provided me lots of e-books with essays that worked, great LORs, how to do an great interview, mock interviews, etc. Besides that, I also received a huge help in how to manage my time during this process in order to meet the deadlines. This was key because it enabled us to work back and forth until reach the strongest application possible before the deadline.

Everytime I needed a quick help they answered me online, they were very very responsive. This made me confident that they were doing the best they could. And in the end, we did! I got accepted into my dream school.

I can't recommend more Mariane and Admissionado team. I am glad I picked them and thanks for everything guys!
