Michael helped me to reflect upon why I wanted to get an MBA and create the raw material that would be the foundation of my application. He was then incredibly helpful in assisting me in selecting from all of the data in crafting a compelling story that effectively conveyed why I was an applicant and could be a valuable addition to a prospective program. During the entire process Michael met every deadline and went above and beyond in helping me to think about my applications to schools in addition to the ones within the package. Overall, I could not recommend Michael enough, as I eventually was admitted to CBS.

I know it's a big expense but if you really want to get in to a top school - I think this is an essential service and I would recommend everyone getting a consultant. Specifically, Michael could not have been better. He was incredibly knowledgable, prompt, set expectations, provided excellent feedback - I don't think I would have gotten into my top school without him. It wasn't stressful because he helped guide me every step of the way and worked with my time frame to create a customized plan. He truly found what was my best qualities and allowed those to shine for the school I wanted to go to. Can not recommend him more!

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMNEND WORKING WITH MBAMISSION FOR YOUR BUSINESS SCHOOL APPLICATION. Michael at mbaMission helped me craft my essay for my application to HBS and in the end it really paid off.

Michael Guttman was extremely responsive in communications and was able to accommodate a meeting each time I needed advice, from analyzing which GMAT score to keep all the way through interview preparation. When it was time to review essay drafts Michael called to my attention specific ways that examples could improve my message and did not miss a single detail. I also benefited from mock interviews that mbaMission set up. I know that each admissions consultant has a book of clients, but Michael made me feel like his top priority. It was nice to know Michael and mbaMission had my back throughout the process, and I ultimately got into Wharton!

Michael was great to work with and made me feel confident in my application. I needed assistance bolstering the analytical side of my profile and he did just that. His help with my resume was amazing.

Michael's communication was clear and direct which helped me manage my expectations during the business school application process. I felt like I could ask any question small or big.

He is a great consultant to work with especially if you feel you need more attention to the quantitative side of your profile. As someone with a lower GRE/ (157 V/158 Q) score I felt confident with my applications because of Michael's help.

I was admitted into Ross, Cornell and Foster.

Michael is a miracle worker. I scored a 640 on my gmat (45 quant/34 verbal) which is not great, did not get amazing grades in college, and somehow Michael was able to help show admissions committee how valuable of a candidate I was. He gave me confidence to present my story and the accomplishments I was able to achieve in a very clear and impactful way. He went out of his way to make sure that I was getting the best possible consulting I needed to get into the MBA programs I wanted. After all of our hard work we were able to get into 4 schools including KELLOGG. I truly believe that I deserved to get into these programs and I am as certain that this would not have been possible without Michael Guttman. He truly is the BEST ADVISOR.

After my brother used ad-hoc services with Michael at mbaMission for his MBA admission process last year (now at SOM), I am grateful that he recommended that he suggested this resource. mbaMission, and Michael's one-on-one support, were incredibly instrumental and crucial to helping me survive the app process happy and excited to go to Kellogg. Overall, most helpful was guidance on how to position yourself across applications to be most marketable to admissions. He helped elevate all the different aspects of my application (different essays, interviews, resume) to ensure I was using every possible opportunity to make my case. Additionally, super glad I also did the Wharton interview prep, because it made me much more comfortable going into the real thing.

I am absolutely thrilled of the impact that my consultant Michael Guttman had on my three MBA applications. I knew I needed help in getting into a top school because I do not have the most impressive work experience and my college grades are a little below average. Michael Guttman was super knowledgeable about the whole process and was able to help me with framing my story to be much more compelling. We also discussed my goals and tweaked them to be more realistic based on my background. Because of Michael Guttman, I was able to write better and more powerful essays.
He treated me like his only client from the very beginning. He was always available to have phone calls and very responsive with emails. He gave me advice every step of the way. We started with an initial brainstorming session and then worked on as many drafts of my essays and resume as necessary to make them perfect.
I received interviews at 2 of the 3 (the other school didn’t require an interview) schools I applied to, and he was a huge help in preparing me for each of my interviews. I really don’t think I would have been accepted without his help. Because of him, I was accepted into my top choice. I seriously recommend Michael Guttman to give yourself the best chance of admission.
