Hello folks
I am Egyptian female applicant, and recently convinced that I have to get a professional help for my b-school applications, specially that I have some points that should be professionally articulated such as my kind of low GPA (2.94) and my age that is at the high end of the range for most of the b-Schools (34 years old/12 years of working experience).
It is going to be kind of big investment, that's why I have to make the right choice among several good admission consultants and packages! can you please help me with your advice and personal stories with different Admission Consulting Services, how do you rate this experience? did you get admitted finally after their help?
Waiting for your stories
If I were you, I would focus on admission consultants with specific experience and a good track record with 1. Older applicants 2. Applicants with a low GPA 3. Applicants from Egypt 4. Applicants to the schools you are most interested in.
Or as many as possible of the above.
Not all admissions consultants are good at everything, so it is important to find the ones that are good at what matters to you.
The company I work for, for example, specializes in applicants with a low GMAT score, rather than a low GPA, but we do work A LOT with Middle Eastern applicants and older applicants.
Since I don’t know what schools you are interested in, I can’t really say how experienced we are with those schools and what our success rate is for them, but you can get a partial idea here:

I would suggest you get similar statistics and information from other admissions consulting companies that you are interested in working with, in order to decide what company or consultant seems to be doing best with regards to the aspects that are most challenging/most important to you.
