Accepted to HBS — and Wharton and Tuck
I worked exclusively with Alex throughout the process (no junior consultants). He invested heavily up-front in articulating my journey and defining my story, and gave honest feedback on my school options given my GMAT score. I was accepted to every school we worked on together. From the initial work on my career story, through mock HBS interviews and Wharton Team-Based Discussions, Alex provided clear, sincere feedback that made a meaningful difference.

Accepted to Harvard, Wharton, and Columbia
I was on the fence about using a consultant. My intro call with Alex stood out — he focused on diving into my personal background and goals right away, rather than trying to sell me. I committed to a 2-school package and was accepted into Harvard, then applied his feedback to other schools where I was also accepted into Wharton and Columbia. Alex provided clear advice on how to build up my extracurriculars and test scores, especially given my lower GPA.

Non-traditional applicant — 5 of 10 admits, two with scholarships
As a non-traditional applicant from legacy media, my profile needed significant refinement. Alex's straightforward approach helped me effectively tell the story of my professional path and connect it to attainable goals. Out of 10 schools I applied to (three M7s, five T15s, two T20s), I was accepted to five, two with significant scholarship money. I'm now attending a T15 — one of my top choices. His to-the-point approach focused on perfection.

Everything you need to know about working with Prep MBA
Prep MBA is a boutique firm with direct founder involvement in every client's journey. Alex Leventhal (HBS '98) personally handles every aspect of every client's application — no junior consultants, no contractors, no hand-offs. With over 20 years of admissions consulting experience, more than half of his clients come from referrals.
Most clients apply to 3-8 schools. We recommend at least 3 schools to maximize your chances of admission and scholarship opportunities. Our most popular package is 3 schools, while our best value package covers 8 schools for the lowest per-school rate.
Our comprehensive packages include application strategy and school selection, personal story development, unlimited resume and essay editing, interview preparation with former M7 interviewers, and waitlist strategy plus post-acceptance support. You'll receive personalized attention throughout the entire process.
The earlier, the better. Ideally, start 12-18 months before your target application deadline. This gives you time for test preparation, resume building, and developing a compelling application narrative. However, we've successfully helped clients with shorter timelines as well.
Alex has been working with MBA applicants since 2005, with 20+ years of experience in admissions consulting. Clients have been admitted to HBS, Stanford, Wharton, Booth, Kellogg, Columbia, MIT Sloan, and other top programs — many with significant scholarship support. He's been featured in the Wall Street Journal and Business Week.
