I’ve had a long association with The Red Pen. I first worked with them for my undergraduate applications, and coming back to them for my MBA applications was an easy decision. The team's thoroughness, investment, and care have stayed consistent across both sets of applications, and I am grateful to have had them as my consultants.

Natasha, my lead consultant, was pivotal to my outcomes. The Red Pen starts you off with an in-depth get-to-know-you document, and Natasha used it to dive deep into my story, pulling on different threads, pushing me to reflect, and connecting the dots I hadn't seen on my own. That groundwork, done before we touched a single draft, helped me position my candidacy with authenticity and self-awareness. I appreciated Natasha’s direct and pointed feedback that helped me rethink and reorient my approach at several points. While she shared her opinion and made suggestions, she always left the final call to me.

One thing I really value about The Red Pen is the specialized support team behind the Lead Consultant. Manan helped me reshape my dense professional resume into a document better aligned for a business school application, and alongside Anju, walked me through how to engage my recommenders. Beyond her designated parts of the process, Anju consistently checked in and offered a useful second perspective whenever I needed it. TRP also proactively directed me toward additional support like extra mock interviews and group TBD sessions when I needed practice beyond internal support. I'd also like to thank Prerna and Manisha for onboarding me, scheduling sessions, promptly responding to my operational queries, and tracking deadlines, ensuring I stayed focused and met application deadlines.

Finally, I really appreciate Kim reviewing some of my materials and sharing feedback that strengthened my applications.

Across the board, everyone at The Red Pen made me feel like we were in this together, I found Natasha and the team invested in my wins, supportive through the harder moments, and fully behind me from start to finish.

I'd recommend The Red Pen to anyone going through the MBA application process!

Thank you Team TRP. I would not have received multiple M7 offers without you in my corner!
