Hello shovitdhar, thanks for your query.
That’s a fair question!
Several years ago, ManhattanGMAT (
MGMAT) actually recommended a handful of consulting firms, and Kaplan had its own internal consulting arm.
MGMAT and Kaplan both independently came to appreciate
mbaMission’s model of full-time dedicated consultants who know each other well and therefore form a tight knit team (virtually all admissions consulting firms are staffed by part-timers whose main energies lie in their other full-time positions). Because we are full time, we make clients our priority, and can share resources, reach out to each other for second opinions and bounce questions and ideas off of each other. Quite simply, our model and structure combine to let us deliver a level of quality that both
MGMAT and Kaplan have chosen to be affiliated with exclusively.
I hope this clarifies the matter!
Best of luck,
Brian
