I got in touch with The Red Pen during my Consultants search, having gone through 10+ consultants, TRP managed to make me feel good about my chances while setting the right expectations. Having run through their process which was highly structured, involved multiple reviews and fit well within each timeline realistically, I was increasingly optimistic of my chances.

Since my geography and industry targets were very narrow, TRP made a lot of efforts to pair me up with a consultant who has an MBA from my target schools as well as a post MBA career similar to my target. My lead consultant Ankit and specialist Heather were absolutely terrific throughout the entire process, helping me set the right expectations, encouraging me when I needed it the most. Their quick responses and well-structured thought processes helped me arrive at my final essays within 4 iterations. They were highly flexible to accommodate any requests however late into the process.

I had specific consultants for Resume review and Recommendation crafting. Both Abhishek and Nikhilesh were top notch and helped me craft an impressive resume and guide me through the whole recommendation process.

I have secured admits to Oxford and Cambridge and would recommend The Red Pen for their highly-valued MBA admissions consulting services.

I am Shounak, a graduate from Chicago Booth- Fulltime MBA Class of 2021.

I would highly recommend Vatsal Srivastava as a MBA admissions consultant and coach. Vatsal played a pivotal role in helping me secure a place at Chicago Booth.

A graduate from INSEAD, Vatsal has has helped numerous students get into the top business schools in the world.

I chose to work with him as after our initial conversations, he best understood my goals and gave me strategic guidance as to how to position my profile for the applications. This required a lot of time and effort. Before deep diving into my essays, Vatsal spent almost 2-3 few weeks brainstorming and crafting my stories for each of the essays. Vatsal is a highly skilled writer and editor (he is also a widely published columnist and poet).

My short term goal was to enter the IBD teams at leading banks. Vatsal worked backwards and made all my relevant skill sets come out via compelling storytelling in my essays, and then connected them into long-term goals which were ambitious yet real and achievable.

He also added immense value in improving my CV, pointers for my letter of recommendation and conducted thorough mock interviews.

I would choose Vatsal if I had to do so all over again and recommend him to anybody who's working through through the strenuous times of MBA applications.
