Nisha was extremely helpful with every step of the process, breaking down what seems to be such a daunting task into digestible steps and pieces. Even knowing that I wanted to pursue an MBA and having a target list of schools, there still was a great deal of guidance and support which only comes from experience that Nisha provided in terms of best practices and strategies. From school selection, to research and brainstorming, to application crafting, to essay writing and editing, and to decision strategies, Nisha was greatly beneficial, and I am very appreciative for her support along the way.

I came into the application process really unsure of my prospects because my background was unorthodox and not easily package-able, I didn't have good recommenders, and it's intimidating for me to talk about why I'm 'unique and amazing.' But as I learned, everyone has a winning story that will get them into business school, and Nisha helped me find and frame that story, and without her I'm sure I would not have gotten into all five schools to which I applied, including my reach schools.

Nisha was an incredible help during the process. She has a finely tuned ear for what makes a winning story in an application, she knows what works and what doesn't. She's also very dedicated and personally invested in your success--she almost always got back to me within 24 hours, and her edits/comments/responses were thorough, thoughtful, and clever. She's also really upbeat and encouraging, which makes the application process relaxed and productive instead of anxiety inducing. Overall, I can't recommend Nisha and mbaMission enough!!!

I used hourly services for Nisha Trivedi, after getting a recommendation from a current b-school student. She is worth every penny. She was timely with her reviews and really strategic with the feedback she provided. Business school applications are all about being strategic, and as important as it is to be authentic with your story, it is equally as important to be strategic to put yourself in the best light. Nisha's expertise truly shines here, and I was able to get into two of my dream schools - NYU and UCLA, thanks to her. Also, in addition to the essay help, she helped prep for the interview in a real-life scenario, with direct, actionable feedback that helped me succeed.

Unless you understand b-school application strategy (which not many do), HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND using MBAMission, but more importantly, Nisha Trivedi.

I had the pleasure of working with Nisha on two of my Round 1 Applications and could not recommend her services anymore.  From the very start of the engagement, I could tell that Nisha had a deep understanding of the programs I was applying to and how I should best position my story in order to stand out to their Admissions Committees.  This was critical in both the resume and essay development as she knew which qualities were the most important to display in each.  Nisha also had a remarkable turnaround time for any feedback.  It was rare that I ever waited more than 24 hours for a revision and she always provided very candid and very direct advice.  This truly made it feel like she was your partner in this process who was just as invested in your success as you were.  Nisha helped make a complex and, at times, seemingly unattainable process both manageable and within reach.  I can not imagine having successfully navigated through this without her help at each step.

Nisha is a delight to work with.

I decided to apply for a business school last September. After some basic research, it was apparent that I needed a consultant to guide me through the intricacies of the process. There is a myriad of consultants online, and I’ve spent some time reading through their resumes on P&Q and GMAT Club.

At first, I hired a “highly-reviewed” company that turned out to be a money pumping machine. (I can give you more details if you’d like). After spending some time with them, I decided to go a different route. That’s when I talked to Nisha.

Why I liked Nisha:
1. We had a 30-minutes no-charge fit call.
This was the call that allowed us to “feel” each other’s communication style and see if we could work together. It was a huge advantage, in my opinion, because I’m a very opinionated person and I don’t easily get along with just anyone. My timeline was very short and needed to find the match ASAP. (First company wasn’t offering fit calls).
2. Nisha asked me the right questions.
During that call, Nisha was immediately providing value by asking the right questions and setting my thought process in the right direction. (First company charged me $425 and wasted that hour completely, we had to re-do the discovery process one more time afterward. With charges applied, of course).
3. Nisha delivered on time and went beyond my expectations.
When we started working together, we set up the objectives, deliverables, and timelines. I never felt like we lacked progress because the communication was constant, concise, and clear. (The other consultant took precisely 47 hours between our communications. Regardless whether it was a 5-second or a 30-minute answer).

To summarize:
Your consultant will not be doing things for you. You will have to work hard as well. But it is much easier to be putting in the work when your knowledgeable coach is guiding you carefully along the way. Nisha certainly was that coach for me.

Nisha made every step of the application process a breeze. From the very beginning, she was so thorough and insightful. She enabled me to craft my application so precisely and present the very best version of myself to my target schools. Before getting started with her, the process was a bit foreign to me and I didn’t have a great idea of what each school looks for. She was the expert I needed to make sure I was hitting all the notes I should be. Her turnaround time was perfect, and her advice was very directed and thoughtful. Her critical process was exceptional and really helped me dive deep to develop ideas and explore the impacts I’ve made in my professional, academic, and personal activities. In the end, I knew I had maximized my potential when submitting my applications and it paid off. I was accepted to a top program and I can’t thank Nisha enough for her help in getting me there!

I purchased hourly services to help me with my MBA applications. While I knew the general background of the process, I realized a consultant would help me (1) focus and edit my story and (2) keep me on time. In the initial brainstorming session and through countless reviews and edits, Nisha’s breadth of experience helped me to clarify and strengthen my case for why an MBA was compelling for me. Nisha was also extremely efficient at editing and her feedback helped me to focus my story. Having her insight and feedback into what would make my story stand out was invaluable to my application process. Overall, I believe her guidance was an important part of my admission to Booth (with significant scholarship money) and Sloan.

Nisha far exceeded my already high expectations of an mbaMission admissions consultant. Her assistance drastically improved every phase of my applications. She transformed my resume and gave stellar feedback on my essays, focusing equally on the content I included and the way I presented it. She has a remarkable way of pulling insights out of you and making you think critically about the impact you've made on the job and within your extracurricular pursuits.

I held a mock interview with her, which was exceedingly helpful, and when given multiple (yes, MULTIPLE!) scholarship offers to top schools she even helped me to navigate between my acceptances. Her turnaround time is fantastic and she gives incredible advice whenever asked.

Nisha didn't only put me in the best position to succeed with my applications. She taught me how to truly sell myself, a skill that will benefit me even beyond business school. If there's one thing you should do to improve your chances of getting into the school of your dreams, hire Nisha Trivedi.

She's the best!

I was referred to Nisha from two friends, both of which had great experiences and got into their desired schools. I had already progressed a bit on my applications, but wanted specific advice on certain things, as well as a sanity check to make sure I was avoiding any major missteps. Nisha exceeded my expectations - she helped me feel more comfortable with my essays and really hone my message at a high-level. She provided concrete and actionable feedback, and always did so while keeping my expectations and requests in mind – in other words, staying within the scope we discussed, but making sure that the right pieces were there to make my application fit together as best possible. I ended up adding a few more hours than I originally thought, because I felt her contributions were so valuable. If my budget had been a bit more flexible, I really would have enjoyed using her for interview prep. All-in, I would highly recommend using Nisha for your MBA applications!

Picking an MBA advisor is a major decision that can shape the rest of one’s future. As I began to research different advisors, Nisha stood out immediately. Watching her introduction video and reading about her background I could feel her passion and sincere desire to help students reach their MBA goals. From the first few minutes speaking with her I knew I made the right decision. She is so knowledgeable about the MBA process and what top schools look for in applicants. With her extensive knowledge and skill I had complete confidence in her that I would be accepted into my top school. Nisha is always so responsive and helpful every-time we spoke. I would send her a draft in the evening and I would have it back by the next morning with detailed edits, questions to clarify, and suggestions. She is always available to speak on the phone and is very responsive via email and phone. In addition, Nisha is extremely easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable to ask questions. She really took the time to get to know me and my goals to ensure understand where I came from and used that knowledge to help me shape my personal statements. Pepperdine was my 1st choice and I was accepted into both programs I applied. Without Nisha’s help and guidance I wouldn’t be where I am now. I am very thankful for Nisha and I highly recommend her!! She set me up for success and now I’m attending my dream school! Thank you Nisha!!
