In my experience, Arvind from Dream School Admit is definitely amongst the top few in India.

He was an exceptional mentor and guide throughout my months-long admission process. Proved to be my biggest cheerleader, a sincere critic, and a massive knowledge bank, from GMAT prep days to the loan and Visa process post-admit.

With Arvind's help, I received an admit from Columbia Business School on my first attempt, despite having an average GMAT score for my demographic. Before working with Arvind, the consultants I spoke to were either too optimistic or negative about my candidature for CBS. However, from the first call, Arvind struck me as someone who was both realistic about managing my expectations and willing to put in the effort to reach those objectives. He quickly made my goals his own, and his commitment to my application was a testament to that.

For your consultant selection process, perhaps the most crucial thing to remember is the time spent brainstorming your career goals.

With Arvind, this bit significantly improved my resume and essays. It also gave a much better structure to my overall story, which was critical for my interviews, applications to other schools, and scholarship applications. I hadn't appreciated the value of a brainstorming call before working with Arvind and looking back, I'm happy to know that an admit from CBS is just a small part of the overall value I derived from these sessions.

I would highly recommend Arvind to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, and knowledgeable mentor, career coach, and MBA admission consultant who is also a pleasure to work with.

I took services from Arvind from DSA and I cannot thank him enough for being my guiding light in my MBA application journey. Hands down, he is the most genuine MBA admissions consultant that you will remember for the rest of your life.

After talking to a few consultants and doing a lot of research, I spoke to Arvind. Since then, he has been my sounding board, a great mentor, and a friend for life. His positive attitude, passion for his profession, and crisp understanding of the entire process made the journey a lot easier. It is his genuine interest in knowing you and treating your application as his own, that sets him apart from the rest.

Right from understanding my background to brainstorming events to neatly binding together all the loose pieces, he has been a constant guide. His eye for detail, story-telling skills, and pragmatic approach brought out the best in my application. Often, we went through multiple iterations, and he provided constant feedback and pointed out the gaps clearly to me. He has always been available for any discussion or clarifying my questions, no matter what hour of the day. Throughout the process, he was patient and deeply invested in my application journey. For every school I applied to, he took a customized approach and mentored me to present who I am rather than to showcase what I just did professionally, and I think it made all the difference.

During interviews, he helped me with how to answer instead of what to answer, and that improved my confidence. It was the result of his efforts and faith in me that I received admission offers from NYU Stern, Darden, and ISB.

In the process, Arvind became a mentor whom you can look up to at any stage of life. Upon getting admitted, you will find yourself reaching out to him with a lot of questions.

I wholeheartedly recommend Arvind to all those aspirants who are serious about their application and have even the slightest doubt in their abilities to sail through this journey. Working with Arvind will certainly be transformational and in him, you will find a trusted mentor.

Hi

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.

It has to be Arvind from the DreamSchoolAdmit
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.

I had a great experience with Arvind Arun from Dream School Admit. 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 was lucky to stumble upon MBA Dream's website when looking for help with my MBA applications. Working with Rahul is easy. He is to the point and supports you exactly how you need it. Applications are overwhelming, but he can help with whatever you need, whenever you need it, irrespective of how tough a time he's going through. He makes the whole thing seem achievable.
I recommend Rahul and MBA Dream to anyone looking for a no-nonsense approach for their applications.

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.

When I was hunting for help with my MBA applications, I found Arvind from Dream School Admit, after losing money to another consultant who went back on his words. Nonetheless, with only a decent GMAT score of 730, I needed someone to guide me through the maze of applications. And boy, did Arvind deliver!

He didn't just help me; he got me interviews at top schools like Stanford and Kellogg, and with his support, I did well in those interviews. Arvind's like that friend who's always got your back. He made sure my applications showed off the best of me, and it worked like a charm. Now, I'm almost done with Kellogg, all thanks to him. If you're looking for someone who's not just an expert but also a real friend in this crazy application journey, Arvind's your guy.

From my experience, Arvind from DSA is worth your time and money.

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.

­Hi,

­I worked with  Arvind from Dream School Admit, whose indispensable guidance paved the way for my acceptance into Harvard Business School (with a scholarship of $59K).  

Right from the outset, Arvind's unwavering support and expertise were instrumental in shaping my journey to HBS. Amidst the discouragement and skepticism from other consultants, Arvind stood out as a beacon of encouragement and determination. During our initial conversation, he instilled in me a sense of confidence with his resolute assurance: "Let's go for the kill." This unwavering belief in my potential set the tone for our collaborative partnership, laying the foundation for success.  

There are three pivotal reasons why I believe I succeeded in securing a coveted spot at Harvard Business School:  

Firstly, Arvind's profound understanding of what would make the cut at a top school like HBS and his insight into what Adcoms look for in a candidate set him apart. His professionalism and genuine commitment to my success were unparalleled. He not only believed in my potential but also demonstrated a steadfast dedication to supporting me throughout the rigorous HBS application process.   

Secondly, Arvind's mastery of the art of storytelling proved to be a game-changer in shaping my HBS narrative. Together, we meticulously honed and refined my story over several weeks, with Arvind consistently pushing me to reach higher standards. Despite my initial satisfaction with certain drafts, Arvind's discerning eye and expert insight led us to redraft and perfect my narrative until it was nothing short of exceptional. His dedication to crafting a compelling story tailored to HBS's expectations was evident in the final version, which truly showcased my unique strengths and aspirations.  

Lastly, the unwavering support and mentorship I received from Arvind during the intense interview preparation phase were unparalleled. Through numerous mock interviews, Arvind provided honest and invaluable feedback that enabled me to refine my responses and delivery with each iteration. His astute observations and spot-on critiques enabled me to approach the interviews with confidence and poise, ultimately leading to a remarkable outcome—I successfully converted 100% of my interviews.  

Arvind’s unwavering support, expert guidance, and genuine belief in my potential were the cornerstones of my success. I wholeheartedly recommend Arvind to anyone embarking on their own B-School journey, confident that with his guidance, they too can secure an admit from their dream school.

 Kind Regards,
Abhishek Prasad­

­=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.

Who are the best MBA admission consultants in India?
I received top-notch support from Dream School Admit for my MBA applications. With their invaluable support and guidance, I got admitted to Darden, Duke, and IESE. I have decided to attend the FT MBA (2024-2026) program at Darden.

I would like to highlight why I chose Dream School Admit and have since never regretted my decision. These guys are unique in their approach to understanding the entire story of the applicant and helping the applicant themself understand what they bring to the table, even when the applicants don't know it themselves. They have made the entire process very structured and methodical. As Arvind, their Principal Consultant, once told me, you meet some people in life who act as inflection points and completely change the trajectory of your journey for the better. Well, in my case, that has been Dream School Admit.

I am grateful for their support and strongly recommend them to anyone seeking help with their MBA applications.

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.

­I am excited to share my experience with Arvind from Dream School Admit, who guided me throughout the MBA application process. With his expert advice and support, I was able to secure admission to prestigious programs such as MIT Sloan (with a $40k scholarship), Wharton, Kellogg, Ross (with full scholarship), and NYU Stern.Arvind’s approach to MBA applications is truly unique. What stood out to me was that he does not use a one-size-fits-all strategy or any generic application templates. Instead, he dedicates significant time to understand the unique narrative, personality, aspirations, and professional background of each applicant. This deep dive into individual profiles allows him to offer personalized advice and strategically choose business schools that align with each candidate's goals. From the outset, you can tell that he genuinely wants you to succeed.

Arvind’s knowledge in this field is unmatched. He has a deep understanding of MBA programs and knew exactly how to bring out my unique strengths to the admissions committee. Today, there are several myths associated with business school applications. Throughout this journey, Arvind debunked several myths about ‘MBA dealbreakers’ and offered clear guidance which helped me focus on the right areas and refine my application. Furthermore, the advice he shared during interview preparation was a game-changer!

Moreover, Arvind’s nature - marked by his patience, calmness, and optimistic attitude—played a crucial role in our collaboration. We iterated through several versions of the essays, and Arvind was always available to help. His readiness to collaborate, regardless of time zone differences, was remarkable. He was always open to listening and incredibly supportive with last-minute revisions and adjustments before submitting the applications. His disciplined and empathetic approach greatly alleviated the stress of this process.

If you are thinking of applying to business school, you must reach out to Arvind from Dream School Admit!!
