My consultant was Jessica Shklar. Jessica took the time to get to know me and helped me focus on my career objectives. I was terrified to apply to MBA programs because my undergraduate GPA was terrible. However, I had a graduate-level certificate and a Master's degree, both with 4.0 GPAs. Jessica gave me actionable steps to take and provided feedback on my resume. She helped me get comfortable with talking about educational and career goals which came in great use when interviewing! I highly recommend her and mbaMission. I am from a small town so finding a support network was difficult. Jessica was able to provide the support and encouragement I needed.

I worked with Kate during the 2021-22 application cycle. I started out the MBA application process largely unsure of where to start. Kate provided immensely valuable end-to-end guidance, including school selection given my stats and background, potential essay narratives based on my story, resume clean-up, essay review, and ultimately interview prep. Having an expert to provide direction along the way gave me the confidence I needed throughout the entire process!

My outcomes were extremely positive – I applied to 4 M7s, received 4/4 interview invites, and was ultimately accepted to Kellogg (my top choice) and CBS. I was thrilled to say the least and attribute so much of my success to Kate’s support! I can’t recommend Kate enough!

Heidi Granner at mbaMission provided wonderful guidance during my MBA application cycle. She was kind and encouraging but provided honest, constructive feedback to help me make my application as strong as possible. I used Heidi's hourly services for help with essays, my resume and interview prep. Heidi has invaluable in-depth knowledge of admission committees' expectations, which helped me tailor my resume, future career plans summary, personal essays, etc. to highlight my experiences that would most help my case for admission. I don't think I would have gotten into my top choice school without her! The hourly services are expensive, but it was definitely money well spent!

About me: Applied to 5 schools > Invited to 5 interviews > 3 Acceptances & 2 Waitlists (still have not gotten rejected!)

I was put in touch with Gavriella through Jeremey, and I could not be happier. Admittedly I was a little late to process of applying to schools (applied in round 2 and took the EA 2 twice). Gavriella made me feel like I was her #1 priority and helped me get on track. We outlined my goals and the necessary steps needed to achieve them. Gavriella knew exactly what each school was looking for and made sure to help me highlight my strengths and story to match each. She has a great aptitude at helping you highlight the most interesting aspects of your background and experiences. This especially showed in Fuqua’s 25 Random Things essay.

Gavriella and mbaMission especially shined when it came to interview prep. She helped me thoroughly prepare for each one.

I can confidently say that I would not have gone 5/5 with interviews invites and accepted into Cornell if it were not for Gavriella and mbaMission. 10/10 Recommendation and thank you for making my dreams come true!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
