Working with Gavriella has been a pleasure. During my first session with Gavriella, I wasn’t very confident of applying to the top tier business schools. Gavriella provided me a realistic evaluation of my candidacy and the much needed confidence boost to apply to the top tier business schools. Gavriella’s guidance, feedback and insights have been extremely valuable throughout my application process and helped me get into my dream school. She pushed me to give my best and build a strong application focussed on the right aspects of my background.
Gavrialla was very easy to work with; very responsive and always available to answer any questions. She demonstrated a strong understanding, expertise and judgement around the MBA application process.
I feel that I wouldn’t have gotten into Columbia Business School without Gavriella’s guidance. I would definitely recommend Gavriella for MBA admissions consulting.

I worked with Kate on an hourly basis throughout my MBA application process to HBS, GSB, Wharton and Columbia. I was admitted to 3/4 and will be attending HBS.

I found Kate to be an excellent brainstorming partner during the very introspective, story-crafting phase of the applications, helping me to dig deep and pull out the most insightful personal experiences to write about in my essays. I also did a mock interview with her prior to my HBS interview -- she was spot on in identifying the key areas that I needed to focus on to best prepare.

Overall I thought MBAMission was great as well. They have detailed guides into each school's application process, as well as interview guides and resources to share with recommenders.

At first when I started applying to business school I thought I could do it on my own and I was thinking "how much can a consultant actually help...is it worth the price?" Well on my own I was denied to every school I applied to in R1.

Then, I decided to do a free consultation with Gavriella and I knew she would be instrumental in my applications for R2 Man, was I right. In R2 I was accepted to all 7 of the schools I applied to and most with 50% scholarship. Not to mention being accepted at my dream school Ross.

I chose to do the hourly services and I was not disappointed. I would turn essays to her at 2am and they were back to me by 6am. She is an incredibly hard worker, empathetic, and cares for her clients. She is available day and night without question.

Gavriella has a talent for helping to create your story in a way that makes you look like a rock star and helping to show you how you fit within in each program.

I promise, you will not go wrong using Gavriella. It has been the best decision I have made in my professional career thus far. My expectations were blown away and if you choose Gavriella, you will be accepted to the school of your dreams.

Debbie was very helpful during my application for business schools. She and the mbamission team were extremely helpful in organizing my experiences and creating a meaningful narrative from them. She was a useful resource throughout the entire application and interview process, including GMAT advice and post-acceptance. She helped me tailor specific essays for individual programs and to create a brainstorm of experiences and answers that I could draw on for essays and interviews alike.

Her guidance on the entire process, as well as school-specific tips and advice, helped me gain acceptance to multiple M7 schools with scholarship offers. I believe the mbamission consultants made a big difference in the quality of my applications and maximized my chances for acceptance.

Working with Debbie was very enriching since she always has the best way to convey the ideas of past experiences. You are often clear about what you want to share, but it becomes complicated if you do not find the right words; it is very easy to find the right words with Debbie. Also, the way of working is delightful; it is pleasant and sincere, which is very important for these processes.

My experience was extraordinary, and everything happened according to plan. I got admitted to one of my first options, and I also got a scholarship! So I'm very happy with the excellent results and our work together.

Harshad was very helpful through my MBA application process. As a chemist with 8 years of work experience, Harshad used his own engineering background to position my story for success in the business world. I hired Harshad on an hourly basis and he was able to help me with essays from 5 schools as well as my resume without going over the allotted time. He was always available for a quick call, even during the Christmas holiday break. Ultimately, I was accepted at HBS, Tuck and Haas. I believe Harshad helped me sharpen my story and he wasn't afraid to redirect my focus, when needed.

Working with Jessica was absolutely great. I would recommend her to anyone. I used her hourly consult services when pulling together my executive MBA applications to Wharton and CBS.

She is extremely responsive and efficient so you know you can always depend on her to give you prompt feedback on essays or hop on the phone to answer questions. She helped tremendously by pushing me to be more clear/concise in my essays and saved me a ton of time by distilling the application process down into what's most critical. This saved me a ton of time and stress!

Jessica was able to explain which points to emphasize most for a given school in a way I never would have known without her.

Jessica was also very constructive in how she used the consulting hours that I paid for. She always focused her efforts on what was most critical and would discuss with me how best to use the time before she went to work. I never felt time was being wasted. She was very helpful in helping me determine what package would make the most sense for me from a financial and results perspective before I committed to buying anything.

I was accepted to both schools that I applied to and know others who have had similar results with Jessica.

I got in touch with jessica and she was one of the best mba consultants I spoke to (and I spoke to plenty). The thing that was so impressive about working with her is that in the first call you'll have with her, instead of selling you how great their services are, or how many students they helped get into ivy league, she focused the conversation entirely about you. Who are you, what can I help you, why do you want to do this and repeat back what you are saying and suddenly you gain a deeper level of clarity. jessica is one of those people that will get straight to the point and bring you from where you are to where you need to be. Clarity is power and jessica certainly brings that to the table.

I was impressed with her approach even from the first call. I worked with jessica on my application and she was quick to give me the right direction to pursue and prevent me from going down irrelevant rabbit holes. 5 star rating and i wish i could have given more.

Melissa was an excellent resource throughout the MBA admissions process. She provided thoughtful, useful insights on my essays that allowed me to express myself in the best way possible. Her feedback was always clear and concise, and she was not afraid to provide constructive criticism when needed.

She built an effective and fun working relationship with me, and was quick to turnaround any documentation I sent to her for review. Melissa is everything one could hope for from an admissions consultant and I am grateful for to have worked with her. I got into all of the schools I applied to and would highly recommend Melissa to anyone applying for a MBA.

Having Harshad and mbaMission by my side during the MBA application process has been very critical: I do not think that I would have received an admission offer from my target school without his involvement.
Harshad helped me craft my resume and my essays and got me prepared for my interview in a very efficient way.
His tremendous knowledge about top-tier schools allowed me to craft essays that showcased my strengths and tied them with the school’s culture.
One of the key challenges for me was to craft three essays and a resume in a two-week timeframe to apply in the early rounds of my target school. Harshad has been very reliable, well organized, and very reactive which allowed me to meet that goal. Also, Harshad does not hesitate to go the extra mile to deliver the best output possible. He remained available at any time and helped me to answer follow-up questions from the school’s admission committee.
Without any doubt, Harshad is a great asset for any applicant targeting top MBA programs.
