Product mbaMission School Package
Consultant Harshad Mali
First and foremost, I truly do not believe I would be in the position of holding three admits—from HBS, Wharton, and MIT Sloan—without Harshad’s guidance and support throughout the application process. From day one, Harshad was realistic about how competitive these schools are, but also incredibly encouraging and pushed me to bring my best to every part of the process.
We started with a 20+ page brainstorming document, and while that felt daunting at first, Harshad’s approach helped me refine my story in a way I never could have done on my own. He has an incredible eye for identifying what makes someone stand out—often drawing attention to experiences or insights I had initially overlooked. What I had dismissed as “just part of the job,” Harshad helped me shape into compelling, differentiated narratives.
One of the qualities that makes Harshad an exceptional coach is his honesty and commitment to high standards. He was never one to sugarcoat feedback or just tell me what I wanted to hear. When an essay wasn’t landing, he told me directly—but he also jumped on calls, worked through the ideas with me, and never let me settle for “just okay.” That combination of candor and support is rare and exactly what I needed.
On top of all that, Harshad was incredibly responsive and dependable. With a demanding job and three top-tier applications to juggle, I can’t overstate how much it helped to have a coach I could count on for fast, thoughtful feedback—often within just a few hours.
Before I started the journey, I hesitated about making the investment in the three-school package. Like many others, I had some sticker shock. But now, on the other side with three dream admits in hand, I can say without hesitation: it was 100% worth it. I wouldn’t have achieved these results without Harshad, and I’m incredibly grateful for his partnership every step of the way.
If you’re on the fence, my advice is simple: go for it. I couldn’t recommend MBA Mission—and Harshad specifically—more highly.
