I am trying to work with an admission consultant for an "Early-MBA Strategy" service.

The 4 consultants in my budget are:
1) Mbamission
2) Fortuna
3) Vantage Point
4) Any Indian Admission Consultant like Rajdeep Chimni or Nupur Gupta

The prices and offering are pretty much the same.

Being an Indian engineer, I was looking for some help in order to decide on choosing the right consultant (I have spoken to all and connected well with almost everyone)

Looking forward for your views.

I would say do check out Menlo Coaching, have heard a lot of good stuff about them

Choosing a consultant is like choosing a suit, you should prefer the one that you liked the most, if you have connected with multiple consultants, pick someone who you are most impressed by

Thanks Hatakekakashi

You're right. I am trying to figure out as to which one fits me well, but I guess my decision is getting biased with the price fluctuations.

Talking about Menlo, since they did not put any quote of their services, I was a bit reluctant to go for it. But since you have suggested it as well, apart from few other friends of mine, I think I will fill their Early-MBA form.

Thanks again.

Hello Rockstarr001,

While Personal MBA Coach’s early MBA planning services may be a bit more of an investment, we can help you plan ahead to make all of the right decisions in the time leading up to your applications. Our early planning clients have stellar success rates ultimately getting accepted and getting scholarships.

Most folks look at an MBA as an investment into themselves, and the money spent on a consultant is small compared to overall costs for tuition and living. Our clients earned more than $6 million in scholarship money last year, so for a majority of them, the service was basically "free." We are also the #1 US ranked consultant on leading sites.

Our early planning services include:

    - An initial discussion about your background, education, work experience and extracurriculars
    - Recommended changes to make to strengthen your profile (includes job and extracurricular advice)
    - Recommended target school list (to be adjusted as experience and/or test score changes)
    - A strategic plan to follow between now and when you apply, including four 30-minute follow-up calls to adjust your approach
    - Ad-hoc job advice as needed when changes or promotions present themselves


Take a look at our site to learn more about the package and do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] to learn more.

Regards,
Personal MBA Coach

The most important thing to truly check for is:

1) Does the person you will work with have actual MBA admissions experience?

2) Will the person actually invest significant amount of time and effort in you?

[color=#1a1a1a]Among candidates who leave a previous consultant to work with me mid-cycle (or after a rejection) the #1 reason is this: they thought they were paying for high-level expertise, but found themselves stuck with a rushed, formulaic approach. It happens way more often than you'd think.
