Best Consultant You Could Hope For

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Choosing Harshad as my consultant during my MBA application process has been one of the best investments I have made for myself in my life. I started my applications fairly late and I don’t know what I would have done without his help. At the start of the application process, I was a little lost, overwhelmed, and intimidated. I quickly decided that I needed a consultant to deliver the best possible application that reflected who I am. From my first phone call with Harshad, I knew he was the right person to help me get into my dream schools. From the start, he helped me really hone in and focus on my story to show business schools why I was worthy of a place in their programs. With Harshad’s guidance and assistance I was able to deliver honest and polished applications that reflected who I really was to the schools and why I was such a great fit with them. Harshad’s highly structured and organized working process along with his quick turnaround speed allowed us to work at a really fast pace. He would always respond to any concern or question in no time, usually getting back to me polished versions of my essays in under a day’s time. In addition, he was not afraid about being direct and honest about what didn’t work and what did in my application, which was really helpful as it allowed me to really focus my applications on my particular qualities, experiences, and aspirations that business schools would really care about and be looking for in their next batch of students. His help during mock-up interviews was invaluable as well as it helped me be more confident, humble and relaxed on the day of the real thing. Harshad was also very kind and respectful during all our dialogues and he expressed genuine happiness for me when I got the results I hoped for. Although I would recommend to most people they start their applications several months in advance, Harshad helped me successfully deliver applications in under a month and a half to two top schools which is a testament to his expertise, knowledge and dedication. In the end, I ended up getting admits into INSEAD and HEC Paris, two schools I am fairly sure I would not have gotten into without his help. He was a true mentor and guide to me. If you’re looking for an MBA consultant look no further – Harshad is your guy.

Gavriella is the Best!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Starting my MBA application was a process that really scared me. I didn't feel confident in my ability to put together an application that would show my best strengths, and I didn't know what schools I could realistically get into.
I found Gavriella and after our first preview interview I felt like she would be a wonderful advisor through my application process.

She has an incredible breath of knowledge that I was able to utilize. I was able to ask her questions at any time and on any topic and she always responded with a helpful and thoughtful response.

She was optimistic and gave me the emotional support I needed to get through the ups and downs of applying to multiple schools with a variety of different essay topics and deadlines.

She was an amazing editor and advisor while I was writing my essays. I feel like her ideas helped make my writing 10x better!

I felt like she truly cared about me and that my wins were her wins. I got offers from 4 of the 5 schools that I applied to and am so happy with my school of choice.

I truly feel like I couldn't have done this process without Gavriella's help. Thank you Gavriella, your help has meant the world!

Awesome Consultant!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I definitely recommend Michael as an advisor for applying to MBA schools. I didn’t have much time to submit my applications, but he was able to guide me through the process and work with me to revise my essays to emphasize my strong points. I applied to University of Michigan’s Ross MBA and was accepted despite not having many years of work experience and my GPA/GMAT scores not being as competitive as other applicants. I only had a month to submit my applications and within that month Michael was able to work with me to revise all my essays, rework my resume, and decide which recommenders to ask. He helped show me which aspects the admissions council would be looking at when they reviewed an applicant. Everything he said was spot on as I asked one of the admissions reviewers later what they were looking at to choose a student and every point they covered was underscored by Michael! He also helped me work on interview prep after I got the initial invite and I think my interview went pretty well as I was admitted into my top school: University of Michigan Ross. Despite not having much time to submit everything, Michael was very responsive and worked hard to get his essay comments/revisions back to me to make changes, sometimes even working over a zoom with me late into the nights and was available whenever I wanted to schedule some time to ask questions/review. (This was especially helpful as I was in Europe half the time which made the time zones all messed up when trying to meet.) The overall admissions process was less stressful and I’m happy to have picked Michael to help me with my MBA admissions. I definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their applications and be a more competitive candidate!

Kim help me achieve more than I ever imagined!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I cannot recommend Kim enough. She truly cares about her clients and she goes above and beyond to help them achieve their goals. Kim has a breadth of knowledge about top programs and can help candidates understand their strengths and opportunities. Kim helped me asses my profile and identified areas of opportunity for me. She also reviewed my essays for one of my top programs, and helped me with interview preparation. Kim's feedback and direction helped me improve significantly and she was always cheering me on and rooting for me. I am fortunate to have gotten into all of the schools I applied to and I could not have done it without Kim's help!

Rachel Beck is a ROCKSTAR!!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Hiring Rachel to be my MBA advisor was a no-brainer, and the best decision I could have made during my MBA application process. She came highly recommended to me by two close friends that both gained admission to their top MBA targets with her help and guidance.

Rachel guided me through applying to my dream school, Columbia Business School, and with her unmatched dedication and incredible expertise, I got in! She was not only a mentor to me through this process, but also a true friend that I knew I could trust and would have my best interests in mind.

She understands the MBA application process in impeccable detail. She helped me craft my application in a way that was compelling and helped bring to light all of my greatest strengths and accomplishments. Her process is methodical, highly tailored and incredibly effective, and she is there for you each and every step of the way. Hiring Rachel will maximize your chances of getting into your choice MBA program! Thank you Rachel!!

Highly Recommend Heidi!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I worked with Heidi on a multi-school package. Though the upfront cost was high, it was very well worth it in the long run, and I have no regrets. While I’ll never know if I truly needed to work with an admissions consultant to get into a top business school (I have friends who didn't work with a consultant and still got into their top choice programs), working with one made the application process a lot more streamlined, a lot less stressful, and made me feel confident submitting my applications and during my interviews. There is value to that.

Heidi took the time to understand my strengths and helped me align on career goals that made sense given my past experience and current passions. She also connected me with previous clients to discuss career paths in my focus industry, which was invaluable. Heidi was a great sounding board throughout the process and was able to pinpoint seemingly mundane stories from my past that became the core of many of my essays. Applying to business school is stressful and takes a lot of work. Heidi helped take a lot of the stress out of the process by being there for me whenever I had questions or needed help. She also created a calendar for me to follow at the beginning of the process that kept me on track to submit all of my applications in time. Heidi also provided great, constructive feedback - she pushed me to constantly add more detail and specifics, and I saw my materials get better, draft by draft. I felt confident hitting submit on all of my applications because of Heidi’s help. When interview invites rolled in, I did mock interviews with Heidi, and she provided feedback and tips that helped me approach those conversations with confidence. Finally, Heidi helped A TON when it came down to deciding on which school to attend. She provided amazing advice and asked questions that forced me to really consider what was important FOR ME.

You truly get what you put in, but you will not regret working with Heidi.

Jessica was my key of success to get into M7

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I’m an applicant with many weakness in my application, so I reached out to someone who got admitted to one of the top MBA schools to seek advice and that person recommended that I work with Jessica. So I asked for 30 min free consultation and in these minutes Jessica was AMAZING! She spotted my weakness, how to mitigate them, spotted my strengths, and introduced me to programs that I never heard about. One day after the call I signed with her for the four schools package, I knew after the call that it was a no briner to work with Jessica.
In many of the reviews you will read about her skills, and I agree with all of them, I believe she is an artist that takes an rusted piece of steel and make it as a shining diamond, what I would like really to add that she impressed me by going over and beyond, it was like a partnership rather than a consultant providing a services. She gave a very sound advice regarding program selection, exam selection, and application strategy.
I got an interview invitation from one of the M7 and I didn’t schedule it as soon as I got the invitation due to my travels to I ended up with the first slot and had only 48 hours to prepare (and to make matters worse the 48 hours were during the weekend). I freaked out, but Jessica calmed me down and made sure I’m well prepared. With her help I got accepted to my first choice of the schools that I applied to 😊. I believe that my decision to work with Jessica led me to realize my dream to get into one of the M7.

Great service

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I would highly recommend Gavriella from MBA Mission for the hourly service! I believe I purchased 5 hours of her time and that was the perfect amount. After an initial conversation, all of our communication from there was via email so it was easy with my busy schedule. She was really easy to communicate with and always turned around my documents within the tight time frame we agreed. I felt like she really helped to enhance my essays in a way that was really productive and helped tell my story better. She was incredibly helpful and exactly what I needed to push my application further.

Highly Recommend

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

As a nontypical applicant (social science undergrad, career in nonprofits, gap in my work history) I recognized that I needed a consultant to partner with for the business school application process and my friends had recommended mbaMission. After exploring consultants online, I knew I wanted to work with Kate because of her experience and interest in working with those from nontraditional backgrounds, which proved to be invaluable. She helped me craft my personal story to cater to the unique aspects of each program, and identified key points to highlight my strengths and enable me to condense my essays to fit the strict word limits. Most importantly, she was the level-headed cheerleader I needed during this demanding process. She set realistic expectations, provided constructive criticism, celebrated achievements both big and small, and eased video essay and interview-related anxiety. Kate also worked with my three references (colleagues and mentors in the nonprofit sector who had never written business school recommendations) to ensure they successfully conveyed my potential as a future business leader. In the end, I was accepted to two out of the three M7s I applied to, including my first choice program. I doubt this would have been possible without Kate’s expert guidance. Applying to the top MBA programs can be a confusing and grueling process, so if you are wondering whether to hire Kate to support you, the answer is yes!

An Expert Perspective

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Having Harold's services was like having a map to the black box of business school applications. He is consistently available for all your questions from A to Z. He puts sign posts up every step of the way to keep the process on track, did multiple rounds of edits for each application, and seemed invested in my candidacy. He has expert knowledge of the each school and their personalities. You will put your best foot forward with every application. Once applications were submitted, Harold and his colleagues did an excellent job preparing me for each disparate interview. It was a pleasure to work with him.
