Gold Standard - Best MBA Consultant Out There

Strengths:

I'll touch on these in the review, but Liza was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping me get into my dream school. The product was comprehensive and truly left no stone unturned.

Would make the product better:

There is really nothing I would improve, maybe just having the overall process begin earlier because of how expansive the application becomes.

As a mid-20s male with a background in investment banking and private equity, I was determined to take the next step in my career by pursuing an MBA. My academic credentials include a liberal arts degree from an HYP university, where I graduated with a 3.7 GPA, and a GRE score of 330. Despite my academic and professional experience, I knew the MBA application process would be rigorous, and I sought out Liza Weale at Gatehouse Admissions to guide me through it.

From the outset, Liza demonstrated a deep appreciation for my situation, understanding the demands of balancing a full-time job while preparing my applications. Together, we developed a strategic game plan to tackle each application systematically. Liza's investment in the process was evident as she left no stone unturned, ensuring every aspect of my application was polished and well-prepared.

One of the key components of our approach was the creation of an experience repository early on. This allowed us to identify and flesh out themes from my background and experiences that would resonate in my essays. We turned essay drafts several times, and each time, Liza never "mailed it in." She consistently provided constructive feedback, making it clear she spent significant time with each draft. Her insights pushed me to present my best form, ensuring that every essay was a true reflection of my capabilities and aspirations.

Beyond Liza’s exceptional support, the broader team at Gatehouse Admissions also played a crucial role in my journey. Their collective expertise and support were instrumental in my acceptance to Harvard Business School. I can confidently say that I could not have achieved this milestone without Liza and the remarkable team she has built at Gatehouse Admissions. Their dedication and professionalism are truly commendable.
