Provided that there are no less consultants on this forum, I'm excited to see the type of responses 
Does one actually need consulting for MIM applications? What are the pros and cons of it? Can one do it all by him/herself? How difficult is it?
Would love to know your ideas

Hi Aarya20,
Let aside MiM, MBA ( or any) applications can be done on your own, provided you have an understanding of your target schools, the aspects that can make your profile stand out, or the career goals you wish you chase.
Consultants are needed only when you want guidance on one or all of the above. Of course, at times, applicants lack the bandwidth to brainstorm and consultants help with that.
This isn't about pros and cons. It is about what you need or don't need.
Thank you!

Let me try to answer this as neutrally and objectively as possible.
Do you really need an Admissions Consultant?
No.
You do not need an Admissions Consultant if you are reasonably confident on all these five-
1. Your Career Goals
2. Shortlisting Universities
3. Your Application Writing Skills
4. Your Interview Skills
5. Expectations from the Admissions Committee
That being said, everyone should have their applications reviewed by an expert, whether they are friends, family, colleagues, or consultants.
Personal contacts, on the other hand, may be unable to provide objective and neutral feedback.
You should definitely seek objective feedback to help you review and improve your profile.
All that is fine, but how do I select an MiM Admissions Consultant?
One word- TRUST. Here are some pointers to start building trust.
Examine their previous work on social media, LinkedIn, a YouTube channel, or any other platform. The majority of this is free advice. What kind of advice do they give in those forums? Does this sound useful? Or are they just trying to get more business by giving hollow advice?
Speak with them and, if their work interests you, contact them. A phone call, personal meeting, or any free or trial strategy session can be extremely beneficial.
Who are you dealing with a company or a boutique service? A large corporation or a small boutique operation? Both have advantages and disadvantages. So, make an informed decision.
What services do they provide? Is the process and expectations understood? Will you find what you're looking for? Are they requesting payment before clarifying things? Be wary of the scam.
Research and make the right choice.
All the best.
