Hi everyone,
YLP admit from last year here, ask me anything!
Also, hearing abt Sarthak - Personally I did not work with him for my application, but I did take his consulting fellowship and also interacted with him personally - I think he’s a really well informed guy who knows his ****. He saved me from taking a really bad career decision!
I received an admit to ISB in Round 1 last year, despite having a GRE score below ISB’s average. Initially, I considered retaking the GRE and waiting another year to apply. However, when I reached out to Sarthak(@carrer) with limited time left for the application process, he not only gave me the confidence to move forward but also offered me a discount when I expressed hesitation about investing too much due to my lack of confidence.
What amazed me most was his incredible response time—typically 3-5 minutes on
WhatsApp. He often sent voice notes to clarify even the smallest doubts and was always ready to hop on a call if needed. Sarthak helped me craft a compelling narrative based on my background and supported me throughout the process, including preparing for my mock interview.
In comparison, I had also signed up for other platforms for IIM A interview preparation but was extremely disappointed with the minimal guidance provided despite the high cost. Unfortunately, with little direction for my IIM A interview, I didn’t secure an admit. However, Sarthak stepped in to help. He created a comprehensive document with all possible questions, connected me with alumni for mock interviews, and identified the mistakes I had made in the IIM A interview. He also guided me in addressing my weaknesses and preparing more effectively.
I wholeheartedly recommend Sarthak for ISB application preparation. I also appreciated that he took on only a limited number of mentees, ensuring he could provide focused support for ISB applicants. Additionally, he helped me with my IIM A application essays on a pro bono basis, although he was transparent about not being as experienced in that area. He even encouraged me to seek additional feedback from IIM A alumni, demonstrating his openness to feedback and his willingness to provide honest guidance.
Overall, Sarthak’s dedication, responsiveness, and expertise made a huge difference in my MBA application journey. I highly recommend him for ISB Admission process. (
