Consultant Vikram Shah
Working with Vikram was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. I reached out to him fairly late in the process, in Round 3, with limited time and a lot of uncertainty. From the start, Vikram was incredibly proactive and approachable. It was easy to connect with him, and I always felt supported despite the tight timelines.
Based on my scores, Vikram initially advised me to recalibrate my expectations around targeting Top-20 programs. But I wanted to aim higher. He understood that and helped me put together a smart, well-balanced strategy that included one program tailored for mid-career professionals, two Top-20 schools, and two in the Top-30 range. I really liked this approach, and I’m so glad we went with it. Eventually, I secured admissions at Georgetown, USC Marshall, Vanderbilt, and NUS.
While I initially felt his fees were on the higher side, I quickly realized the immense value he brought. Vikram was always accessible, always willing to take my calls, answer repeated questions with patience, and provide consistent guidance. He made sure every essay reflected the best version of me. I also worked closely with Ajey, who helped me uncover stories and achievements I had overlooked, turning this into not just an MBA application process but a self-reflective, confidence-building experience.
I’m a patent attorney with 12 years of experience, so not your typical MBA applicant. Vikram and Ajey took the time to really understand that. They helped me clearly communicate my “Why MBA” story, articulating my intent and timing in a way that felt genuine and compelling. Thanks to their guidance, I was able to position my applications so that the admissions teams had no doubts about why I was pursuing an MBA at this stage in my career.
The turnaround time for essay reviews was fantastic. I would get feedback within a day. We rewrote essays for every school I applied to, making sure they were tailored and aligned with what each program was really looking for. No shortcuts, no generic drafts.
Interview prep was another area where Vikram really stood out. He helped me not just with content and structure, but also with managing my nerves. His mock interviews were serious and formal, and honestly, a little intimidating at first, but they were exactly what I needed to prepare. After every mock, his feedback was calm, detailed, and genuinely helpful.
Even now, months after getting my admits, Vikram is still just a call away. He’s continued to guide me on decisions post-admit, and that ongoing support means a lot. This wasn’t just a consulting service, it felt like having a mentor by my side throughout the process. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares, knows the process inside out, and will go the extra mile for you, I can’t recommend Vikram enough.
