Hm, consultant firm here in Russia told me this. I am sure that they know situation. Stanford and Harvard have only one slot for Russians. Most of other top-20 schools have 4 slots from which 3 are for consultants. I personally think that it is on average. I mean if there are 5 candidates which are great, they might take one more, but usually there are only 4 Russians for a given year.

I am not sure what consultant you use but I think whoever this is is not very reputable. There is no way for a consultant to know each school’s individual strategy because it changes every single year for every single school. It sounds to me like this consultant is trying to make themselves sound more knowledgeable or “in the know” than others to get your business. If they did have this insider knowledge I would question their integrity and I’m fairly certain other consultants on the forum would feel the same. I just really think based on your other posts here regarding interviews, number of “slots” for certain demographics, and other things that you are being given bad information.

It sounds like someone who would try to scare you with stats.. oh there is only one spot for people like you. If you work with us you're gonna get it. I think that saying they have 3 spots for consultants is ridiculous. I don't think there is any info to back those numbers and I'm sure it depends a lot on the applicant pool.

))) It is called "Russian business". They take your money and give no value instead. That is why I don't work with anyone. But the guy whom I know, he is working for himself like a freelancer and he's actually a very successful consultant. He wouldn't lie to me for sure. So there are two ways here. Either he is right or he doesn't know this himself and just speculates, being sure that he is right. I am sure that a serious person would not blindly devise fantasies. So maybe he's not right for 100% but I strongly believe that there is a lot of truth in his words.
