Hi,

Can someone please suggest some top and affordable admission consultants ?
I checked the known and famous international consultants but they are expensive.

I am going to apply to b schools in US and Europe.

Looking out for feedback/experiences/suggestions from applicants.

Have you checked August Academy or Experts’ Global or Vikram Shah or Red Pen? They seem to rise above the fold.

I have personally been working with MBA and Beyond (not able to post the link, sorry). I'm very happy with the service. The best part is they give you unlimited amount of time and attention till your application has reached perfection.

I have spent over 2 months working with them and would definitely suggest you give them a go.

Hey Aishu24

Last year exactly this time, I was in your shoes .After talking to tons of consultant, I finalized MBA and Beyond as my consulting partner and I have to say that my experience with them was really great . I was looking for a consultancy which was genuine and had a good rate . What stood out for me was the price point as well as the credibility of consultant . My consultant was himself INSEAD pass out which gave me peace of mind that my application is in good hands . I definitely do recommend them. For some reason i am not able to paste the link here but you can google search them or checkout their profile (@MBAandBeyond) on the GMAT club itself.



PS : I got shortlist from 2 of the best European B schools and got into one of them with scholarship .

I read about their process. It seems quite detail oriented and helpful.
Did they let you do multiple edits for essays and resume?

Hi Aishu24,

I hope you are having a great week. Always happy to help in such situations. I understand that you were expecting an answer from Bilburr, but I believe she is busy with her coursework at the moment. Trust me, it's not so easy to make time when you begin business school. And she has just recently started hers. However, I am sure she will reply to your questions when she finds time.

Meanwhile, to address your concern for edits and communication, here it goes:

MBA and Beyond have no cap to the no. of edits/iterations for the essays. We consider the essays to be fully ready to submit when they are stellar from the perspective of the applicant and the consultant both. Applicants work with only one consultant throughout their journey, and the brainstorming sessions happen on calls. The applicants are connected with consultants on emails, what s app, botim etc.

If you'd like, you can hop on a call with Paridhi to understand our process better, and feel free to ask her any more questions you may have :)

Cheers!
