The reviewer was admit to the schools that they applied to: Yes - got into all
Applying to business school was a long and arduous process, but Veritas' network of dedicated consultants were there to help me each step of the way. My head consultant, Jessica Wood, took the time to understand my background, experiences, and goals to determine which schools were most appropriate for me. She was particularly valuable during the essay-writing process; by asking the right questions, she got me to dig deeply into my professional and personal life experiences to find the best themes and stories. She evaluated my work with high standards and always laid out a clear path towards improvement.
In addition to multiple revisions with Jessica, my essays were also reviewed by specialists for each school I applied to. The specialists were alumni and shared great insider information that allowed me to demonstrate fit and knowledge about the programs.
Specialists also prepared me for my interviews through mock interview sessions and comprehensive feedback on my performances.
Overall, I was extremely well taken care of, and everyone I worked with was highly professional, intelligent, knowledgeable, and friendly. I was accepted to all of my programs, including my dream school, UCLA Anderson. I highly recommend Veritas consulting to any serious MBA candidate.

Very helpful

The reviewer was admit to the schools that they applied to: Yes - school of my dreams
I took 3 hourly consulting packages to help me with my applications to Yale, Haas and Sloan. The price/quality ratio was excellent because I was well into my application process and I only needed help with my essays and resume.
All three consultants answered promptly, gave valuable insight into each school's characteristics and were very knowledgeable regarding what the adcoms are looking for.
Don't expect admission consultants to do the work for you, but their feedback is specific and detailed, which make revisions easier. The end result was in all three cases significantly better than what I could have achieved by myself or with the help of friends.
In the end, I got into my target school (Yale) and working with Veritas Prep was definitely worth the investment, especially considering that it's a tiny fraction of what I'm about to spend to attend a top business school!

Excellent help from VP

Scott's really helpful and patient. He took the time to really hear my story, my background and gave me an honest feedback of my chances with the schools.
He helped me craft my essays such that it really show who I am and my aspirations. We did a couple iterations and each iteration was a significant improvement from the previous. I think in the end we did close to 10 iterations for my first school and 3-5 iterations for 2nd and 3rd school. I am now at my first choice school, taking the first step towards my goal.
I am very glad that I asked Scott for his help!

Would definitely recommend Veritas

The reviewer was admit to the schools that they applied to: Some, but not all
I began working with my Veritas consultant last fall before first round applications were due. After a productive evaluative phone call, me and Scott began tackling the essays right away. Not knowing a lot about what schools were looking for and what they expected of me, I needed to put many rounds of revisions into my essays.
My consultant was very patient with me and my writing and through many iterations of sending my essays back and forth, Scott helped me complete well polished essays that would catch the eye of the adcoms. His advise was invaluable-every comment was geared directly towards earning a yes from the schools to which I applied. Even last minute and late at night, Scott supported me throughout my application process. Scott and I still strategize and I know that I can always trust his input and professional advise.

Scott offered great guidance and direction that helped me craft my essays. He offered pointed advice that allowed me to complete all the essays for the 4 schools that I applied to in 2 weeks. I ended up being accepted, or waitlisted and eventually accepted, to all of the schools that I applied to and attended a top 5 MBA program.
I also want to commend Scott for his professionalism. Like most candidates, I'm sure, I was in the year-end scramble to get my application together in time for the early January Round 2 deadlines. My interactions and email exchanges with Scott were during the holidays, which I know can be a busy time of year so I appreciated his prompt responsiveness.

Great consultant

The reviewer was admit to the schools that they applied to: Waitlisted
I was very pleased with Scott, i have not yet heard back from my schools, but regardless i am happy and know I gave my utmost best effort. He was patient and very open minded. It wasn't his way or my way, it was the best way. Each applicant is a very individual case and his/her story must be revealed in the most personalized way possible. This is all i have to say, i don't know about the 100 word min. but no i am just writing to meet the 100 word deadline. I think you guys get the point, call scott for help with your admission journey.

Well Done

My consultant did a great job of leading me through the application process. The most important aspect was reviewing my essays and trying to help me tailor them to the specific school by providing advice about which aspects were more important to my specific school.
In addition, he provided general advice about the process and then ultimately helped me prepare for my interview with the school. While I did not get into all my schools, I was successful in being accepted to the school in which Scott helped with my application. I am grateful for his work and help. Thanks.

Not knowing much about the MBA application process and already late in giving my GMAT, I decided to take help from a consultant. After thorough research, I signed for veritas 3-school comprehensive package.
And now that I am done with the applications for all the schools, I am more than happy with the services provided. Scott was my school specialist for one of the schools where I applied. I have already got an interview and am confident that I will get in. Scott help me put forward a winning application forward. He was very knowledgable about the school and even during time crunch gave the best reviews on the essay.
Thank you Scott!

I used Veritas' hourly program for some last minute admissions essay help and worked with Scott Bryant. Scott significantly reduced my stress level during the essay writing process. He was flexible and incredibly responsive, often turning hours worth of feedback over the course of only 24-48 hours. His deep experience as an admissions officer was highly evident in the quality of the content-related feedback he provided. He assisted me in identifying some of my key strengths worth highlighting and organizing my thought process into a concise story that addressed the key points of the application essays. In addition, he helped me to efficiently turn drafts of my essays, providing meaningful stylistic and grammar feedback during the process.
I can’t how difficult the process would have been without Scott’s assistance. Should I decide to apply to any more business schools in the future, he will be my first phone call. I highly recommend him to anybody seeking professional application/admissions advice.

Veritas School Program - Very Helpful Review and Application Prep
April 07 | 2013
The reviewer was admit to the schools that they applied to: Yes - school of my dreams
I started the application process with very little idea about how to go about it or where to get started. I felt like I could probably do it alone and figure things out as I went, but the first few sessions with my Veritas adviser made it clear that wasn't the case. Working with someone with experience in this process made it obvious where I was lacking and what I'd need to do to present a better application. I think Veritas was immensely helpful in this and prepared me for not only the application I worked on with them, but also all the others that I ended up subsequently completing.
In particular I'll note the dedication of my adviser who worked day and night to help prepare my essays as I pushed towards a tight deadline. His work went beyond any and all expectations I had about the amount of work he might put in and his input as an experienced, logical second opinion for every draft or considered essay topic was invaluable. If you have concerns about your applications, essays or otherwise, I recommend the services that Veritas offers.
