The best consultant - HBS Admit!

I was referred to Gavriella by another consultant at mbaMission who thought we would be a good fit, and it was the luckiest thing to happen to me during the MBA admissions process as I would not have gotten in without her! Even before I received updates on interviews/admissions, I had learnt so much from Gavriella during the process that working with her had already more than paid off. I received 6 interviews and ultimately 5 acceptances from my top choice schools with significant scholarships from all - including HBS which I will be attending in the fall. I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Gavriella, as you will not only be in the strongest position for admissions, but you will also develop so much throughout the process.

From the start, she was great at ensuring that I was comfortable with the timelines and had specific milestones to aim for so I didn’t get overwhelmed in the lead-up to deadline day. I always felt she was very invested in my success and she went above and beyond in helping me craft the best applications. Her perceptive questions and insights during our brainstorming session were critical to generating creative and unique ideas to write about in my essays, and she was a trustworthy partner in refining my drafts to ensure that they were polished but still true to my personality. I had been on the fence about applying to some competitive schools, and Gavriella’s ability to offer straightforward advice whilst having your best interests at heart was invaluable in enabling me to feel confident in the choices I made.

Gavriella is very supportive, responsive and great at ensuring you stay motivated throughout what can be a long and gruelling process. No question is too small or silly for her to respond to; even when I was anxious about minor details of extra-curricular activities on the online forms she was happy to read through them multiple times.

Her support didn’t stop at the application form, as she dedicated a lot of time in interview preparation including putting me in touch with former clients to learn more about the various schools. From pre-interview preparatory questions to mock interviews with rigorous and detailed feedback, I felt very prepared for the real thing and this undoubtedly helped me relax and perform my best.

Gavriella is amazing, and I am incredibly thankful that she was by my side for the admissions process. She is more than just an admissions consultant - she is a coach, mentor and partner, and you will not regret working with her!
