I Owe My MBA Interviews to Nisha – Truly the Best

Strengths:

Nisha’s greatest strengths are her precision, strategic thinking, and deep understanding of what top programs are truly looking for. Her feedback is never generic—it’s ultra-specific, personalized, and always tied to what will make your application stronger. She’s especially skilled at helping non-traditional applicants craft compelling narratives that align with the values of each school. Her interview preparation is exceptional; she anticipates challenging questions and helps you build confident, thoughtful responses. She’s also incredibly responsive and has an excellent sense for when to challenge you versus when to support you. She guided me through every phase of the process with insight and care.

Would make the product better:

Honestly, not much. Nisha's live, strategic guidance throughout was top-tier.

I worked with Nisha Trivedi from mbaMission to apply to three extremely competitive programs: the Berkeley Haas EMBA, Wharton EMBA, and Stanford MSx. My profile included a 2.34 undergraduate GPA, a 160 Executive Assessment score, and a non-traditional background. Despite those challenges, I secured interviews at all three schools and was ultimately admitted to Haas. I fully credit Nisha with making that possible.

From the beginning, she helped me frame my story in a way that was authentic, coherent, and aligned with each school’s values. Her feedback was always sharp, honest, and actionable. She challenged me to elevate every aspect of my application—from essays to resume to recommender strategy. Even when I felt I was done, she’d push me to make it tighter, clearer, and more powerful.

What truly set Nisha apart was her interview prep. She ran me through rigorous mock sessions tailored to each school’s style and expectations. Her tough but supportive approach prepared me to handle anything. When the real interviews came around, I was confident, composed, and well-prepared thanks to her coaching.

Beyond her technical skills, Nisha brought empathy and insight to the process. She never let me feel defeated, even when I doubted myself. She believed in my story and helped me tell it in the strongest possible way.

If you’re applying to any top MBA or EMBA program—especially with a non-traditional background or academic weaknesses—Nisha is the consultant you want in your corner. I wouldn’t have made it past round one without her.
