I'm going to just be very direct about this. I have pretty good stats I think for the top schools (750 GMAT first try, Big 4 accounting firm, top 10 undergrad 3.3, dual citizen U.K. / U.S., regular volunteer). I thought I'd be fine on my own - I got into a top 10 undergrad just fine. But I know a handful of other people applying this year and they have all heard from the MBAs in their offices that they should talk to a consultant. I had never heard of mba consultants (or gmatclub for that matter) (sorry) until about a month ago. Through checking-out a few websites I can't seem to figure out who really needs your services (eh hem, if I do). Can you give me a quick summary of if or how you'd help me given my stats? Would it really help improve my odds even though I don't have any glaring issues? Full disclosure - I'm posting this on a few boards here randomly. Hoping the direct approach gives me more insight than googling did. Thanks in advance for your honest advice

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. First off, congrats on a killer GMAT score! You have a fairly decent GPA - it's a bit low for a top tier MBA, but given you went to top 10 UG (presumable Ivy), that should count for something. From a pure academic profile perspective, you're definitely in the conversation for a top 10 MBA. I'm still looking for information on your work experience as well as your involvement. Sounds like you're at a reputable firm, but for how long? What have you accomplished there? What is your leadership capacity? Are you an influencer within your team/organization? These are some of the details that help candidates stand out. And telling the AdComm isn't enough. We need to develop a story that clearly outlines where you're coming from, where you want to go, and how an MBA (at your dream school) will help you get there - the more specific you can be, the better. You want to bring in your alumni conversation, your visits with school organizations leaders, discussions with professors on your school visits, etc. While it sounds like you have plenty of volunteer activities to reference, it's important to demonstrate the impact you had doing this work. Leadership capacity is critical here. Were you a participant, or did you lead initiatives to truly add value to the cause?
These are some of the details we push our applicants to discuss. Once we extract the details of the journey, we work diligently to help craft a unique and compelling story by demonstrating your key attributes along with the value you bring to your target schools. If this sounds something you could use help with, feel free to sign up for a free consultation below, we'd love to chat. If you don't think you can use our help, no worries! We still offer a ton of free resources to help you prepare for your R1 applications. Take a look at them here!
