I worked with two consultants from Fortuna - Dina and Judith this year (From about May-Sep) to file my MBA application. The consulting process was very through. I filled out an extensive questionnaire and had a couple of calls with the Fortuna team to help them understand my story and motivations for applying to school. This basis gave them a strong foundation to guide me through my essays. Anything with regard to MBA admissions, I ran it by them and they were always patient and supportive throughout the process. And lastly, I was very happy that they gave me honest feedback all throughout the process. No suger-coating, no beating about the bush - just good positive feedback.

All in all, The whole experience was rigorous, honest and I am extremely happy to have picked them to help me with my MBA admission process. Thanks to them, I got into the school I was aiming for.

Fortuna admissions helped me get to INSEAD, for which I'm very grateful. The whole process was guided by my consultant Caroline and I was pleasantly surprised how easy I completed the whole application process and got admitted to both INSEAD and IMD. All in all, Fortuna is a very ethical company with excellent top rated consultants that give their client the best. Their biggest strength is the speed and customer focus of the whole application process(especially the recommendation to visit the respective campuses before applying to INSEAD and IMD). The company exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend Fortuna Admissions.

I got into INSEAD and a huge thanks to the Fortuna team!

I did a lot of research before singing up with Fortuna Admissions. And the X factor that made Fortuna Admissions stand out from other consultants was that they (the dream team of former admissions directors of top b-schools) have the best knowledge and understanding of the applications (accepted & rejected) that flow into each of the top b-schools. In my case, Caroline’s and Nonie’s knowledge and experience from INSEAD was invaluable in tailoring my essays to make me stand out in the applicant pool and to showcase fit in INSEAD. And, throughout the entire process, Caroline’s and Nonie’s feedback was thorough and timely. Their attention to detail while reviewing my infinite drafts of essays truly amazed me. Also, for the interview preparations, Nonie (my coach) covered every possible direction an interview could go and after working on her feedback from a mock interview, I was super confident and prepared before going into my interviews.

Overall, I am very very happy and grateful for Fortuna’s contribution in helping me secure a place in INSEAD and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get into his or her dream school.
