Hello mbaboop,

I'm sorry to hear about the rejections. It is painful to go through this, but we shouldn't loose hope. MBA applications is a lot about the knowledge and strategy and it's good that you are doing research to make better applications.

I have analyzed several dinged applications and provided feedback. Many of the students made it to their target schools in reapplication.
Some of them are:
Harvard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/arsalan-rauf-13237417
INSEAD https://www.linkedin.com/in/abdulelah-a ... -692a871b/
Columbia https://www.linkedin.com/in/andr%C3%A9s- ... -b3460b1a/
London Business School https://www.linkedin.com/in/aakash-vanc ... a-9a41788/

I would be happy to help look at your application and diagnose what went wrong.

Kindly email me your resume, essays, pdf of the application and any other relevant material. Once I have the information, we can schedule a phone/ Skype call.

I can be reached at mail@vibranture.com.

Hi there,

Thank you for your post - am sorry to hear that things didn't pan out the way you wanted them to this past application cycle. I have worked with reapplicants in the past who have been more successful after emphasizing different themes and/or strengthening their profiles. I would be happy to discuss your background in more detail through a free consultation. Feel free to reach out to me at info@ivygroupe.com or https://www.ivygroupe.com/contact.

Best,
Shaifali

I applied to 3 M7 programs (not Harvard or Stanford) for admission in fall 2017. I was dinged by 2 already (1 with interview, 1 without) and I am currently on the waitlist at the 3rd, but this late in the application season I am expecting another ding there too.

I worked admissions counselors on all 3 applications. Everyone who reviewed my applications, including admissions counselors, said there are no glaring weaknesses or red flags in my profile. As I now start to think about reapplying in Round 1 this fall, I am left wondering what I can do better or differently to have more success this time around. I am also not sure how to make best use of the services that admissions counselors offers being that I am a reapplicant and there are no major changes or updates to my profile.

Are any admissions counselors willing to have a quick chat with me about why I was dinged, what I need to do differently as a reapplicant, and how your firm will help me fill the gaps?

Thanks in advance for your responses.
