Our Expertise: Building an Application that Highlights your Strengths
There is no simple formula to getting admitted into a top MBA program. A high GMAT and GPA, or years of experience are important, but may not be sufficient to gain access to a top MBA program. Most schools, including top 10 MBA programs, are taking a holistic approach in their admission process and seeking individuals that will bring a new perspective to classroom discussions. As an admission expert, I can walk you through the application process and define the actions you will need to take at each stage to maximize your odds of acceptance.
Why use The Admission Concierge services?
Your GMAT scores and GPA help admission officers determine your academic strength and eligibility. However, most business schools, including top 10 schools use a holistic approach in their selection process. Your essay and interview performance, for example, can truly make or break your application.
The Admission Concierge will help you get an edge on competition by helping you choose the right school and draft a strong application tailored to the school and program you are applying to.
Who will I work with?
The Admission Concierge is a personalized coaching service. In other words you'll get one consultant- always! I will work with you from our initial phone call to enrollment. As a director of admissions, I have read and reviewed hundreds of MBA/MS applications, I interviewed applicants from over 40 countries and from all academic and professional backgrounds. I have selected each individual applicants who joined our programs and awarded scholarships based on very specific metrics most business schools share. I have been a featured speaker both domestically and internationally on the QS World MBA Tour and led webinars with GMAC.
I am available when you are available; I work evenings and weekends to accommodate your work schedule and/or whatever time zone you are currently in.
Packages offered

A 1 hour Skype session (more if needed) for an in depth profile review: personal, academic and professional backgrounds as well as your extracurricular activities
Based on this conversation, I will recommend changes to make your profile stand out including jobs and extracurricular activities.
Together we will come up with a list of target schools under 3 categories: (1) Aspirational (2) Target (3) Safety Schools.
Develop a strategic plan from now to application date. We will schedule up to 3 follow up phone calls to adjust strategy based on GMAT/GRE scores, work experience gained, etc.

We will schedule a kick off call or meeting. I will learn all about you and your aspirations. Together, we will select target schools, craft your PERSONAL story, and fine-tune your goals. We reformat your resume to meet B-Schools admission requirements.
We will then focus on your essay, a well crafted essay should include personal and professional accomplishments and show a logical connection, it should allow the reader to get a sense of who you are and what shaped the person you are today.
We will then work on your LORs, I will help you select your recommenders and share ideas on what a successful recommendation letter should include.
Once this process is complete we will prep you for the admissions interview, I have interviewed hundreds of applicants throughout my career, face to face, Skype or Kira all these platforms call for a specific preparation and I will help you convey your story in a powerful and effective way.

MBA Admissions: Who Should Go for Round #3?
Does it matter what round you apply to? The short answer is yes, whether you submit your application in round 1 or 3 there is a strategy to maximize your chances of admission.
Deadlines Vary from School to School
First off, it’s important to stress that all schools are not the same! Top 10 schools tend to have roughly the same deadlines: September for round 1, first week of January for round 2 and early April for round 3. However, many schools have staggered application deadlines, some have more than 3 deadlines and others take applications on a rolling basis. In other words, they will keep accepting applications throughout the admission cycle and if admitted you will be entering the next upcoming class. It’s important for you to keep track of these deadlines. Send yourself multiple reminders to make sure you don’t miss the boat!
Round 1: Odds are in your Favor
For top 10 business schools it’s a well-known fact that early applications are favored. It shows that you have made your decision early enough to submit a full application by the first deadline. Not to mention that scholarships tend to be more generous for those early birds! If you have a typical business background, a decent GPA and GMAT my advice is to always shoot for round 1.
Round 2: Proceed with Caution
This is when the majority of applications are submitted. This round is good if you are confident with your application but want to take a deeper look into your school/program of choice. Perhaps you would like to visit campus? seat in a class? meet current students before you commit? In that case, I will recommend round 2. This round is also good if you would like to take the time to polish your application and perhaps take the GMAT/GRE multiple times to increase your scores.
Round 3: Is it Even Worth Trying?
I get this question a lot! The answer really depends on your background and your target school. The main disadvantage of applying to the final round is that chances are your application will be measured up against previous successful applications. In essence, the final round of applications is more competitive, particularly in top 10 schools. However, for many directors of admissions, this final round is also a chance to consider interesting, unusual profiles who will bring diversity to the group.
If you are shooting for round 3 your odds are best if you meet the following criteria:
1. You have an outstanding GMAT/GRE score
2. You have an unusual profile (STEM or Human Sciences background)
3. You have multiple years of work experience (international is definitely a plus!)
4. You make a compelling argument as of why you waited for the final round
5. And last but not least your application package is extremely well crafted
As previously mentioned, your target school is also an important factor to consider, while your odds are lower on round 3 than round 1 at top 10 schools, you might actually have your best chances in lower ranked US school if you are applying to the final round.
