I am extremely grateful to have had Arvind from Dream School Admit by my side throughout my application journey. I didn't have an extra-ordinary GMAT score given my applicant co-hort but Arvind still urged me to apply to great schools and guided me expertly on school selection as well.
His detail-oriented approach to reach the core of my story from pre-school to pre-MBA and connecting the same with my post MBA goals was absolutely pivotal in me scoring an admit from my target school - Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper).
Arvind's iterative process for MBA Application Essays is also immensely helpful and easy on the applicant. Even though I reached out to DSA a bit late for Round 1 applications, Arvind's deliberate approach made sure nothing was rushed and he was always reachable at all hours patiently listening to and resolving every query I had, big or small.
I strongly endorse choosing Dream School Admit if you're applying to Business Schools and need someone who will go above and beyond because he is just as invested in your success as you are.

I’d been working in consulting for over 3 years and wished to pursue my MBA to transition into full-time consulting in future. After weeks of thorough research and conversations with admission consultants, Arvind from Dream School Admit caught my eye. Within minutes of our very first communication, he not only suggested to me the various schools I could apply to in my target country – Canada, but also alleviated my fears on whether I could make it to my dream B-school with a common Indian profile and a GMAT score of 710. He was so certain and assertive in his opinion that I shouldn’t settle for anything less than the top 2 schools!

Arvind was very patient throughout the whole process, even when I missed our mutually discussed deadlines due to a high workload. I was impressed by his poise and structure of communication while writing the essays; he ensured that I gave my essays a personal touch even if they were just 250 words long. Further, his mock interviews trained me for the worst and trickiest of questions such that all my anxiousness and nervousness faded away – the confidence that he showed in me kept me motivated and helped me project my best self to the interviewers. I cracked Rotman – the first and the only B-school I had applied to, with a scholarship of CAD 30,000 and a Forte Fellowship (which I didn’t even aim for and didn’t even know about!), and it wouldn’t have been possible without Arvind’s guidance. Not only that, he went beyond his role and also mentored me on how I could add more value to my profile, post receiving the B-school offer. He is simply brilliant at what he does!!

I recommend Dream School Admit to everyone embarking on this journey of selecting and applying to a B-school. Arvind’s promptness and critical analysis of your profile and interviewing skills will make sure that you stand out amidst hundreds in the rat race.

Yes i did and i highly recommend
When it comes to the MBA admission process, there are a lot of moving parts that need to come together in order for a successful outcome. It can be overwhelming and stressful for applicants, especially when trying to navigate it all on their own. That's where professionals like Arvind from DreamAdmit come in - he's like a tennis coach for MBA applicants.
Just as a tennis coach helps a player to hone their skills, strategize their game plan, and ultimately achieve their best performance on the court, Arvind from DreamAdmit helps MBA applicants to identify their strengths and weaknesses, craft a compelling application, and ultimately gain admission to their dream business school.
Arvind's expertise and guidance throughout the ISB application process were invaluable. He was able to help me to craft a compelling story that highlighted my unique strengths and experiences, and to ensure that my application was tailored to the specific requirements of the ISB program.
But beyond just his technical expertise, Arvind's support and encouragement throughout the process was truly invaluable. He was always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer moral support when I needed it most. It's clear that he is truly invested in the success of his clients, and is willing to go above and beyond to help them achieve their goals.
In the end, I was thrilled to receive an acceptance letter from ISB, and I know that I couldn't have done it without Arvind's guidance and support. He truly is the tennis coach of MBA admissions - helping applicants to navigate the complex and competitive world of business school admissions with skill, grace, and a deep commitment to their success.

Yes i did! Having faced rejection from 7 schools in my first application year and having had discussions with multiple consultants, I had almost lost hope of getting into one of the best business schools in the US. But connecting with Arvind proved to be a game-changer in my application process this year. Arvind was my biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process and showed confidence in my candidacy, which I believe was one of the biggest contributing factors to achieving success this time around. He encouraged me to aim for the best colleges and helped bring out the best stories from my life experiences. What I like the most about Arvind is that he makes an effort to understand the candidate’s profile in depth, beyond just the test scores and spends time brainstorming ideas and getting out the best aspects from each applicant’s profile. Given his vast experience, he correctly understands what each school wants and accordingly adopts a game plan for each school, instead of just using the same template for all. He is also extremely approachable and usually responds within a day – something which really stood out to me as compared to my previous experiences. He is not just a consultant, but a mentor who is genuinely interested in your success and is there to guide you until you get the school that you deserve! Because of his efforts, inputs and continuous guidance and support, I was able to get into Tuck with a GRE of 326! I am extremely grateful that I got his guidance through this process and would highly recommend Dream School Admit and Arvind to all B-school applicants!!

I'm currently a full-time first-year MBA student at Kellogg. I achieved my dream of attending an M7 full-time MBA program thanks to "Dream School Admit." This would not have been possible without the constant support and motivation provided by my mentor "Arvind". At the start of this journey, coming from an overrepresented group, I did not even think of converting to a T15 school and was actually aiming for a T20. Speaking to multiple other consultants further dented my confidence, but contacting Arvind was a turning point in my journey. He not only motivated me to improve my GMAT but also took time to understand and reflect on my story and journey. What stood out was his deep understanding and expertise of all the B-schools and their application process and his humble and empathetic nature, where he's always ready to help irrespective of the time and situation. Also, the interview inputs and multiple mocks, along with his calming effect, helped me crack 5 out of the 6 interview invites I received. I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their MBA applications.

I can speak to this firsthand. Arvind played an instrumental role in my MBA application journey. With a barely competitive GMAT score of 730, I sought his guidance to navigate the competitive admissions landscape. Thanks to his expertise, I received interview invitations from prestigious institutions like Kellogg and Stanford. Arvind not only helped me shape a compelling narrative but also tailored my applications to align with each school's ethos. As a slightly mature applicant, his personalized approach was invaluable. Throughout the process, Arvind was not just a consultant but also a supportive partner, always accessible and ready to provide insightful advice. I'm now on the brink of graduating from Kellogg, all thanks to the guidance and support of Dream School Admit. If you're considering admission consulting services, Arvind is the go-to person for a personalized and effective approach.­

Yes, I did choose DSA and here is my experience.

Dream School Admit had truly made my dream come true. Getting into TUCK and Darden with 40k scholarship was made possible by Arvind. When I began my MBA journey, finding the right consultant has been a challenge considering my unique biotech background. During my first call with Arvind, I was impressed with his expertise and ease of communication. One of the huge decision points for me to choose DSA was the fact that they have a wide experience in working with people from diverse backgrounds. Arvind’s approaches to applications and knowing what works and what doesn’t work took my applications from being below average to an all-rounder. Starting from brainstorming to interview preps, Arvind was personally involved and gave pinpointed feedback which made a huge impact in the way I approached essay or interview questions. I am glad that I found a perfect consultant who has done an excellent job in making my profile stand out without losing my authenticity . I would 100% recommend DSA to others pursuing similar dreams.

Yes, I have worked with Arvind personally. I am fortunate to have secured an admission at the Kellogg School of management and Arvind was intrumental in making this a reality. 

Arvind has a comprehensive understanding of the MBA landscape and is very creative in brainstorming one’s personal brand and the perspective one should bring to the application. In my personal application journey, he was there every step of the way and made sure we made an application for a school that I was truly satisfied with and proud of. Coming from a super competitive applicant pool, and having had international work experience in an East Asian country, I wasn't sure if an Indian consultant would know how to help me bring that out. Luckily, Arvind had worked in the country I am in and helped me bring out unique parts of my experience which ultimately helped me get into Kellogg.

He is really easy to work with and is available anytime to reach out to. He genuinely gets invested in your success and I really appreciate that. Would recommend him in a heartbeat.

­Yes, I have worked with Dream School Admit.
=mediumThe process of application is an intensely personal journey. It takes us through honest analysis of our journey, successes, and failures, forcing us to confront our lives ebbs. My journey was no different, except I had Arvind from Dream School Admit to comfort and guide me through the process. I found Arvind to be a supremely confident, and it rubs off on you. Right from day 0, he expressed a genuine interest in learning about me and my journey thus far. The framework that Dream School Admit provided initially helped me structure my thoughts, and Arvind helped form a narrative around which my story was built. When it came down to writing my application essays, I would sometimes teach a few points to my application, which may look great, but did not fit into the story. Arvind helped me stay on point; his feedback was always insightful and helped me improve my writing significantly. I found Arvind to be empathic to my concerns and his explanations helped me move forward with a solid footing. He guided my research and helped me better understand the schools I was applying to, and his turnaround time for essay reviews was impressive. What truly sets Arvind apart is his warmth and approachability. He was always available to answer my questions, no matter the time of day, and his friendly demeanor made the process feel less daunting. It was a pleasure to work with someone who genuinely cares about their clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their success. In Arvind, I found a friend and a mentor who not only has helped me get admitted to my dream school but also prepared me for an MBA and my career post it.

­Happy to share my experience working with Arvind -

I had been contemplating pursuing an MBA for the past couple of years. However, I grossly underestimated the planning and deliberate effort required to secure admission to a top B-school. Today, I am fortunate to have received admits from two such esteemed institutions — UVA Darden and USC Marshall (with a significant scholarship).

I can confidently state that achieving this milestone would have been significantly more challenging without the support of Arvind Arun and the incredible team at Dream School Admit. Arvind and his team meticulously guides students through every aspect of the application process, from selecting the right schools to refining application stories, essays, and interviews to the highest standard.

Arvind provided candid advice that enabled me to identify my best options among a multitude of B-schools, aligning with my strengths and aspirations. The self-reflection questionnaire provided by Arvind was instrumental in preparing and refining my essays, prompting me to recall and note significant anecdotes from my journey.

Throughout the process, Arvind demonstrated exceptional patience, offering invaluable guidance through numerous calls discussing application details, essay prompts, and even recommender outreach. His advice and planning helped me stay ahead of the timelines and avoid any last-minute shocks. Arvind graciously supported me with multiple resume and essay reviews, ensuring my applications were of the highest quality.

During interview preparation, I benefited from multiple calls and mock interviews with Arvind, which bolstered my confidence and helped me deliver my best performance. Thanks to his guidance and our extensive practice, I now feel well-prepared to tackle the public speaking challenges of B-school.

I am sincerely grateful to Arvind and team for helping me secure admits to some of the world's best B-schools. I wholeheartedly recommend prospective students to consider Arvind and Dream School Admit for support in their MBA application journeys.­

­Yes, I worked with Arvind this year. Dream School Admit is awesome! 

Arvind’s approach to MBA applications is truly unique. He avoids generic templates and takes time to understand each applicant's story and goals, offering personalized advice to choose the right business schools. His deep knowledge of MBA programs helps highlight your strengths and debunk myths about the application process. Arvind’s patience, optimism, and constant support, regardless of time zones, made the process stress-free. His tailored guidance and interview prep were game-changers - I got into MIT, Wharton and Kellogg!! 

He's more than an admissions consultant—he's a mentor and a genuine well-wisher. If you're applying to business school, you should definitely reach out to Arvind from Dream School Admit!­

I worked with Dream School Admit, and so, I can shed some light. Hope it is useful!

Arvind from Dream School Admit has the natural ability to create impactful narratives from any script. The sheer positivity that Arvind brought to the table on Day 0 gave me immense confidence early on in my prep to target my dream schools. As I started working with him, I could notice that he considered me not a liability but an undiscovered talent, which he wanted to drive to its maximum potential. I always prefer to work with someone rational and calm under pressure, and I could derive in the first meeting with Arvind, that he had a similar mold. Throughout the process of writing essays, Arvind stood by as a pillar of support. His approachability made it easy for me to ask him the simplest of the questions and his availability ensured that I get full coverage for draft reviews.

With a result so positive – an admission to Kellogg, the B-school of my dreams, and a Tepper admission with a merit scholarship, I wholeheartedly recommend Dream School Admit for anyone aspiring for the top B-schools. Arvind's strategy not only extracts the most exciting narratives from your story but also motivates you to balance hard and smart work in your application process, leading to stellar outcomes.

I can share my experience working with Arvind from Dream School Admit. Under his guidance, I received offers from the Ross School of Business (with a $120K scholarship) and the Darden School of Business (with an $85K scholarship).

Selecting the right admissions consultant was a challenge, but a trusted friend highly recommended Arvind, and I quickly saw why. From the very first conversation, his approach stood out—while many consultants create a sense of urgency to push applicants into signing up, Arvind took a more genuine and thoughtful approach. Even during the introductory call, he provided valuable insights on how to position my profile, which left a strong impression.

One of the key highlights of working with Arvind was his structured onboarding process, which helped bring out unique stories and traits that I hadn’t even considered mentioning. His process provided clarity and direction, ensuring that my application authentically reflected my strengths in a way that resonated with admissions committees.

Another major strength is his accessibility and responsiveness, an invaluable quality when dealing with tight deadlines. There were multiple instances where he jumped on quick calls to refine my essays and stories, ensuring that my applications effectively highlighted the qualities that top business schools seek.

Beyond just essay reviews, Arvind’s support extended across the entire application process, from connecting me with current students to helping negotiate scholarships. Unlike many consultants who operate on a rigid structure with a fixed number of drafts or hours, his guidance was personalized and continuous.

I highly recommend Arvind to any MBA applicant. His mentorship goes far beyond admissions consulting. His insights, dedication, and support have made a lasting impact on my journey. Through this process, I feel like I have gained not just a mentor, but also a friend, and I am incredibly grateful.

Sharing my experience with Arvind:

When I first began my MBA preparation journey in 2024, I reached out to multiple friends and contacts to understand who I should work with and which counsellor could best help me tell my story and build a strong application. I worked with a different counsellor for the 2025 intake, but I wasn’t very happy with the experience. There were communication gaps, I faced challenges working with the counsellor suggested by the company, and I often felt unsure about how to best present my story across different essays or what aspects of my profile I should really be highlighting and improving.

After a difficult Round 1 experience, I connected with Arvind from Dream School Admit. One of the first things he did was motivate me to step back and focus on
improving my GMAT score (I was at 655 at the time). He clearly explained that a stronger score would open up more options, including schools outside India, and suggested we revisit applications once that foundation was in place.

In 2025, after achieving my target GMAT score, I began working closely with Arvind from Dream School Admit. The biggest difference I noticed was his approach to self-reflection. Arvind from Dream School Admit pushed me to deeply think about my childhood, early influences, and life experiences, and how those moments have shaped who I am today. Beyond counselling, Arvind from Dream School Admit felt like a friend and a mentor. I remember going to Arvind from Dream School Admit even before we began the application process with questions about career decisions, job switches, and long-term goals. He always responded calmly, using simple anecdotes and examples that helped me think more clearly about my choices. This guidance allowed me to open up further in my essays and interviews and stay true to my story.

I also struggled initially with identifying the right target schools and connecting with alumni and current students. Arvind from Dream School Admit guided me
through this process, helping me understand which schools I truly resonated with and why, rather than just applying based on rankings or perception. This clarity gave me a lot of confidence, and that confidence stayed with me through the interview process as well. Having not received interview calls from the schools I applied to the previous year, I was genuinely surprised and grateful to receive interview invites from multiple schools this time.

The interview preparation was extremely thorough. I felt prepared not just for standard questions, but also for different ways the same question could be framed. I still remember how Arvind from Dream School Admit helped me refine the reasoning behind some of my answers, while ensuring that I remained authentic and honest in everything I said.

I strongly recommend Arvind from Dream School Admit to anyone who is not just looking for a good MBA consultant, but for a mentor and friend who genuinely cares about your journey, looks out for your best interests, and helps you make the right decisions at every stage. In retrospect, I’m grateful that I had the chance to work with Arvind from Dream School Admit, which made the entire admissions journey not just more structured, but also surprisingly stress-free.

Yes I have and I am truly ecstatic to write this review for Arvind Arun from Dream School Admit to express my deep appreciation for his focused effort, mentorship, and guidance, which ultimately paved the way for my acceptances to Kellogg School of Management and Yale School of Management, including a scholarship of $40,000.
After my first GMAT attempt, in which I scored 675 on the Focus Edition, I consulted more than 20 admissions counsellors. Most advised me to proceed with applications as is. Arvind, however, stood out for his honesty and transparency. Given my aspiration to target top-10 U.S. MBA programs and my background as an overrepresented Indian engineering male candidate, he strongly recommended retaking the GMAT. This advice proved invaluable. I retook the exam and scored 715, which significantly strengthened my profile and gave both of us the confidence to pursue my dream schools.
From the very beginning of the application process, Arvind was consistently supportive and maintained a disciplined, structured approach across every aspect of the otherwise daunting admissions journey. What truly sets him apart is his exceptional ability to help candidates craft an authentic and compelling personal narrative. His deep understanding of what each school looks for ensured that my applications were highly targeted and distinctive, greatly improving my chances of success.
Lastly, his mentorship during the interview preparation phase was unparalleled. Through numerous mock interviews, Arvind provided candid, insightful, and actionable feedback that helped me refine both my responses and delivery with each iteration. His sharp observations and spot-on critiques enabled me to approach interviews with confidence, clarity, and composure—ultimately leading to outcomes beyond my expectations.
For anyone aspiring to get into a top MBA program, I wholeheartedly recommend Arvind. I am confident that he will bring out the best in you and help you put your strongest foot forward, bringing you one step closer to your dream school. He is worth every penny, and in hindsight, I am immensely grateful to him for helping me achieve my goals. It was truly a pleasure working with him.

Securing a GMAT score was not even half the battle of the whole process of applying to BSchools, and when I got to it, it was extremely daunting to say the least. After speaking to a ton of consultants, my anxiety only grew, everyone made the journey sound more difficult and I spent countless days unable to finalise anybody, until I spoke to Arvind. He was encouraging, optimistic yet practical from the get-go and just a couple of phone calls with him were enough for me to commit. I won't be exaggerating if I said he sounded too good to be true at that point and I felt very excited to begin the process.

Arvind truly met and infact exceeded my expectations. He was extremely professional yet a comforting friend throughout. His approach was very methodical, he was always punctual in sharing his edits and he gave my material really good polish. He helped me look at my journey with nuance and made me appreciate my wins which I didn't even think were worthy to mention in my essays. I started off with very little confidence and a scared mindset, so much so that I would frantically bug him with so many doubts, but he was always a call or a Whatsapp text away, and just talking to him made it all alright. He is terrific at what he does. Thanks to him, I applied to 6 schools and got interview invites from ALL of them - ISB, Ross, Stern, Darden, Kellogg and Fuqua in Round 1. After this, he took as many mock interviews as I needed, in order for me to feel confident and I am happy to share that I got zero rejects after my interviews. I converted ISB, Ross ($80K merit scholarship), Darden and lastly Kellogg. I got waitlisted at the other two.

To anyone reading this and deciding on their options (As I was doing nervously just a few months ago) - don't sweat it too much. Just listen to him and you'll land where you're meant to. Truly. I have heard the phrase "Don't worry about it, this is nothing" almost a 100 times from him, and nothing really was that big a deal, it all did work out just fine.
There is too much clutter in the market and honestly this process needs a helping hand who can cut through the bullshit and iron it all straight for you. And Arvind is the person for that.

Even after getting my admits, Arvind was there to understand my situation and guide me on what to choose, like a good friend would. I might have called him a dozen times just to discuss that and honestly sometimes it was all repetitive from my end, but he was always patient and gave me sound advice. I am more than glad writing this testimonial right now and it is all a heartfelt way of saying a big thankyou to Arvind for all the honest hard work & guidance. I would have lost it without him.
