Hi,

Think about it this way- Admissions consultants are PEOPLE who have been doing it for a LONG LONG TIME.

I started my career in admissions consulting over 10 years ago now, and made a lot of first time mistakes that sound really naive and stupid now. But at that time, those strategies sounded like- the best ones. And I am glad I am learning every day.

Admissions consultants are no different than the applicants- we are YOU- the only difference is- we are 10 years ahead of you.

How would your skill set be if you did something repeatedly for a decade? If I work for around 2000 Hours in a year, the maths says that I have been doing it for 20,000 hours now.

As long as you are committed to a learning curve, you will also become just like me or any other expert in 10 years.

When people get consultants to help them in COMMUNICATION that takes place between an applicant and the school- those applicants do it to save years of putting in their own hard work. Why would you want to gain competency and learn things on your own , and make the same first timer mistakes when you can be with someone who is ahead of you? - That is why applicants hire consultants.

There are really smart and interesting professionals in this world. Go find the ones you will get along with, and move on to the next stages of your life- start an MBA.

I really want to crack a Joke- I am glad you did not ask- Is it really important to hire a Cardiologist or can one operate their own heart? ( You got to take help from an expert) :)

Have an amazing journey ahead buddy!

Luckily for people that have heart problem, there's a health insurance/health care for them so they won't have to operate their own heart.

If only there's also insurance for admissions consultant to make it free --> that's the joke

Thanks for your answer tho'..

Well it completely depends on individual skills set, knowledge about B-schools and admission process.
Working on your application with consultants or Alumni of top B-Schools is always preferred because it is always a best choice.
Yes I agree consultant fees is always on a higher side but you should consider it as an investment for increasing your chances to get admission.
