I got rejected with a 330+ in gre with sarthak, he just created a mess of my essays, e doesn’t have any opinion of his own, agrees to everything you say and finally messes everything up and then claims 20-22/25 admits every year, don’t know how, same with faith careers.

I have heard the best reveiws about Manan from strategy4gmat, you can go with him

Besides, isbeacon and admitstreet are good options too

MBA Crystal Ball is good, pretty in depth brainstorming sessions that really help with essays

Lemme know if you’d like to consider them, I can connect you to them
I can second this... took their services as well...

To further add to this

If someone wants to experiment, let him rewrite your essay drafts

Steps followed:
1. You send him your essay draft
2. Give him 15-20 mins
3. You have your final essays ready without any brainstorming or discussions

MBA Crystal ball is the opposite xD
You spend hours brainstorming, and the essay is 90% yours as you are doing all the thinking

They just help with minor edits to bring the story together and streamline things

More powerful I’d say
And easy to translate to other college applications

Same for S4G. But that is the point, the more you reflect the better it will be and easier it will be during the interview

Yes, this is how it should be done

Same experience with Manan (Strategy4Gmat), he spent a lot of time in brainstorming to bring the best out of the essays
Really great experience, with each iteration of essay you would feel more confident in the essays

Based on my experience and all discussins here over the months

Consultants to avoid : Sarthak, Anshul from faith careers, Llwellyn desouza

Consultants to consider: Mid budget : Manan- strategy4gmat, Isbeacon, admitstreet
High budget : Mbacrystalball, goalisb, piyush(managementmasters)

I’ve heard good things about Llewelyn for ISB admits. Any specific concerns you’ve come across?
