Please join us in welcoming Poonam Tandon, founder of myEssayReview, and wish her Good Luck! Dear all, I am excited to be a part of GMAT community, and I sincerely hope to be a helpful resource for MBA applicants. I am a Ph.D. in English with three decades of teaching experience in both India and the US. As an English teacher, I have helped thousands of students write/refine their academic and personal statement essays and secure fellowships . In 2011, I founded myEssayReview with the belief that all applicants possess unique perspectives and life experiences that set them apart. Therefore, I consistently aim at translating their uniqueness into compelling and persuasive admission essays. I am a full time consultant and am passionate about my work. I take pride in saying that 90% of my students have been accepted into top schools such as LBS, Chicago Booth, Darden, UCLA, MIT, Ross, Kellogg, ISB, CMU, Manchester, Haas, Duke, Emory Columbia, Cornell Darden, Kelley, Ross, Kellogg, UCLA, Yale, Haas, CMU, Emory, Cornell, Ivy Richards, Rice, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Wisconsin etc. My students with high GMAT scores (typically 700+) have not only secured admissions but also fellowships from schools such as Darden, Kellogg , Emory, Cornell, Duke, IE, CMU, Ross, UC Davis, UCLA, Yale, Ivy Richards, and Tippie. Some of my students, with scores between 610 – 680, have secured admission to prestigious schools such as Kellogg, LBS, Booth, ISB, CMU, Manchester, Haas, and Duke. I am delighted to say that I have also helped many reapplicants get admitted to their dream schools such as ISB, Chicago Booth, Columbia and Maryland. How do I work? A big part of my counseling is storytelling. I will assist you on the path to reflection and discovery I will pull the right stories out of you and help you showcase them well to bring out your best personal and professional self. I will not generate the content for you but will help you find your own voice. After you sign up with myEssayReview I will thoroughly review your resume and the first draft of the essay and will schedule one hour skype/telephonic meeting to discuss your resume (your career progression, biggest accomplishments, skills, interests etc.), brainstorm ideas/stories to be incorporated in your essays, discuss my suggestions/feedback on your essay(s), and also answer/clarify any questions or doubts you have for me. This will be followed by up to 4-comprehensive critiques and edits until a polished, refined product is created that showcases your candidacy in the best possible manner. During the entire process, I will work with you to highlight those aspects of your personality that you yourself may were not be aware of. Looking at the final product, most candidates get so thrilled that they say that they couldn't believe their essay would turn out so well. I believe that every customer deserves the best. Hence, I do not segment the packages into Silver, Gold, or Platinum. I will provide you the same level of service regardless of whether you purchase a single essay or a 3-school package. I would go above and beyond to ensure that your application showcases your candidacy in the best light. My life-long association with students in India and the US as a teacher, and with applicants from all over the world as a consultant has provided me with a unique insight into strengths and weaknesses of applicants from diverse ethnic backgrounds which helps me in guiding them accordingly. Working with me will remind you of your experience of working with your most favorite teacher who had a genuine interest in ensuring your success and was always willing to go an extra mile to ensure the same. I am so looking forward to being in this unique “classroom” of GMAT Club that has offered me an opportunity to communicate with students from all over the world. Please feel free to send me your profile for a free evaluation. I will be more than happy to fulfill your request and answer your queries regarding your candidacy.

Deepak, you are not old for B schools. You are not even 30. REgarding second MBA, some US B schools are not very welcoming of second MBA candidates. You will need to make a strong case of why you need a second MBA to achieve your goals.

Hi Apramay, I think you can accumulate 1-2 years of work experience, take challenging projects at work and then apply with a stronger profile.

Pragati1First and foremost, please get your target school. Take challenging projects at work, and get involved in more voluntary work ( you already have voluntary experience . YOu can apply next year with the robust profile.

Can you elaborate abit on that? Anything that I should be focusing on more?

Astha, I meant to say if you have been involved in any projects/ activities wherein you displayed your marketing skills or aptitude for marketing, then it will be easier for you to convince the admission committee of your post MBA goal.
