Consultant Michael Guttman
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. I was admitted! I had a few stories that I wanted to use in the writing process and Michael worked with me to refine different aspects of those stories to make the biggest impact with the admissions committee. Working with Michael was always very straightforward. He was also fast in communication and clear in his recommendations. I would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone applying to business school!

Consultant Nisha Trivedi
Working with Nisha was a fantastic experience. She is amazing!
I decided to apply in the round 3 and was just 2 weeks away from the deadlines for my target schools. Despite the time crunch, Nisha took the time to thoroughly understand my story, offered some valuable insights to perfect my resume and essays. She also completely walked me through the mock interviews, spent a lot of time evaluating my performance and helping me strengthen my responses.
Through her guidance, I was able to get admits from all the 3 schools (CMU, UC Berkeley and UCLA) that I applied to and even secured a scholarship from one of them.
Nisha's quick turnaround time- she usually sent comments and suggestions within a couple of hours of receiving the draft, attention to detail and the ability to always be there and celebrate the success of her clients is truly commendable. I am so grateful to have found her and extremely thankful for all the guidance and support she has provided.

Consultant Krista Nannery
I used hourly services with Krista and I definitely recommend it! Even after doing a 30 minutes free trial with her I was amazed how valuable her advice was. After few sessions, I actually purchased more hours as I found Krista's support so valuable and helpful. She exceeded my expectations. In the end, I was accepted by four of the top 20 MBA programs and one with full scholarship.
For a bit more insight I'd highlight few things:
1. Her high level guidance helped me better position myself and leverage my strengths.
She definitely knows a lot about the process and what schools are looking for. Applying to the top MBA programs is a challenging process and often you might feel lost. However, even after a few minutes with Krista I felt like I knew exactly what I had to do and felt a lot more confident.
2. She has small tips for your interview that I think make a big difference.
Her mock interviews were amazing! I think I had good answers prepared but she helped me make them perfect.
3. She is very well-organized and has a structured approach.
She tells you her schedule and turn around times from the beginning, and follows it very carefully. This was a very stress free approach for me and I appreciated it a lot.
4. She is a great person, attentive and truly cares about the applicant.
She has been extremely supportive and I always felt like she really cared about me. She helped me be more confident throughout the process.

Consultant Heidi Granner
Heidi was integral to my MBA application process, and I truly could not recommend her enough. When I first met with her, I was very lost on where to begin with my essays and she provided several exercises to get me going. From there, I was able to find a thread throughout my life/career that felt true to who I am and where I'm going. Without her, I am positive that I wouldn't have come out with such a strong essay.
Heidi was also very helpful in preparing me for interviews by conducting a simulated mock interview where she asked some tough questions and gave honest, constructive feedback. I know I wouldn't have been as well prepared without her.
Finally, she played a major role in my decision-making process. I was very torn between 2 schools, and she not only offered her own advice, but also sourced thoughts from her network to help bring in additional data points. I felt confident with my final decision thanks to Heidi, and I intend to stay in touch with her throughout business school and beyond.

Consultant Heidi Granner
I worked with Heidi for my Round 1 applications to several T15 schools. I was initially set on applying in Round 2 but as an international ORM, she recommended that I apply in Round 1 to maximize my chances of getting in and attaining scholarship funds. I worked with her on essay and resume reviews as well as interview prep and she was very helpful. She was always quick to respond and her feedback was extremely constructive. With her help, I was able to gain admission to one of my top choice schools with a significant scholarship.
I am glad to have worked with her and highly recommend her services to anyone applying to MBA programs.

Consultant Gavriella Semaya
I consulted with a multitude of consultants from top MBA consulting programs. They sounded the same and worked with their clients to submit cookie cutter applications based on what they thought top schools desired. Gavriella was the first consultant that I found that helped me stand out. She compelled me to dig deep to understand myself better and helped me craft a narrative and profile that was authentic, captivating, and cohesive - even in the two hours I had with her. I feel like I understand my trajectory and career path so much more after working with her. She’s knows how to uncover the underlying story.

Consultant Heidi Granner
I was hesitant about investing in an MBA admissions consulting firm because of the price tag, and looking back I have no regrets in investing in the hourly services package with MBAmission. Every minute spent with Heidi was SO SO valuable - she helped me get into every school that I wanted to get into and clearly directed me / answered all of my questions. Whether it was my resume review, outlining my essays, or even random questions about my application goals. She understood how I wanted to spend my time and never wasted a minute working with me. I could not have done it without her!!!!

Consultant Michael Guttman
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!

Consultant Heidi Granner
I was hesitant about using an admissions counselor and I am SO beyond glad that I did! I worked with Heidi Granner for essay reviews and interview prep and she was the most helpful resource I encountered for making my applications truly sing and helping me prepare for my interviews. Heidi was a fantastic communicator and sets expectations extremely well. I always knew when I would receive feedback rom her and it was always actionable and wise. She had great constructive criticism to provide but never undermined my confidence and I felt I could go to her with all of my questions. I cannot recommend mbaMission enough if you are applying to a competitive MBA program -- I guarantee my admissions cycle would not have been as successful if I had not worked with Heidi!

Consultant Harold Simansky
I came to the application process very concerned. I am from an over-represented demographic, being a male Chinese engineer, and I was out of work.
Harold was not thrown by any of this. Right from our first conversation he was reassuring, and I felt completely supported and understood. He always listened, and he helped me think realistically about my goals, pushed me to consider schools that I had yet to consider, including some reach schools and more likely schools and he was always an encouraging voice. He was very thoughtful in his approach and his attention to details was second to none. Throughout the process, his ability to break each step down into manageable and meaningful pieces helped bring me closer and closer to polished applications and helped assemble a storyboard true to myself, stories that I was able to paint with pride and confidence. In the end, I got into my three top schools including UNC, USC, and Cornell. I got $100,000+ at both UNC and USC and could not be more thrilled with the outcome. Teaming up with Harold for my applications was the best investment I ever made and is already changing my life. Use Harold, it could be life-changing for you as it was for me.
