Firstly, I would like to thank Mr Mayank and the Experts' Global team (Ms Debopriyaa Dutta, Ms Akanksha Baldawa and Ms Aanchal Sharma) for helping me get an admit with 80% scholarship in one of the top Energy Finance (MBA) programs.

The following is my detailed journey with them:

1. GMAT : Though I was confident of performing well in the GMAT and set my bar at 720, I always missed out on some acute details and couldn’t achieve desired score. I had practiced numerous questions (almost 3000+) on GMATclub, GMATPrep etc but in vain. Finally, after coming in terms with my score, I decided to apply.

Initially, I was skeptical of taking help from an Admission Consultancy firm. Now that I think about it, I am glad that I took a leap of faith. After a lot of research on various websites, I enrolled with Experts' Global (EG).

After a brief initial conversation with Ms Aanchal Sharma and with the new study material from EG in hand, I decided to give GMAT one more try. I left no stone unturned in practicing their exhaustive practice tests and the post-test data analysis helped me fill the gaps. After consistently scoring 720+ in their tests, I scored 740 in the actual exam. My happiness had no bounds when the score appeared on the screen.

2. Profiling: The next step in the process involved answering a detailed questionnaire. The questions are designed to extract as much information as possible from the student. The questions made me introspect and look deeper within myself. I came out with insightful information that I would have never thought about mentioning in my application.

3. Storyboarding: Once my GMAT score and my profiling questions were in place, I had a brief discussion about my post MBA goals with Mr Mayank and Ms Akanksha. We brainstormed over a telephone conference and decided how the essays and its ‘flow’ should be.

4. Essay Submission: Running a business and a trading account, I hardly had any time left to take care of my essays. Ms Akanksha and Ms Debopriyaa always made sure that the essays were ready way before the application deadline and that I got ample amount of time to make any necessary changes. The essays helped me get multiple interview invitations though I have a very low GPA.

5. Interview preparation: A brief discussion with Ms Aanchal helped me polish my interview etiquettes. She also sent me a document containing possible interview questions that I practiced in front of a mirror. The questions boosted my confidence and morale, and made sure that I was never in for a surprise during an interview.

On a whole, I would like to thank the team again and recommend them any day.

I have had an association with Experts' even during my GMAT prep days. Before moving onto the post GMAT part let me touch upon the a little bit on my GMAT journey. I started my GMAT journey in Sep 2016 with self studies. By March 2017 I had 2 failed attempts with 620 at both. I was absolutely clue-less about what was wrong until I joined Experts' Global in April and realized that how unorganized I was. The process started with unlearning what I had learnt so far. I was given a detailed planner customized to my needs, which I followed and updated religiously. I was given a very well structured study material, which I can swear by god that I followed it word by word and in the order prescribed in the planner(very important). The practice material was given in the order of difficulty and one must strictly follow that order, I was committing that mistake during my self studies days by randomly practicing the problems. Then the 15 mock test are so good that even the sub-sectional scores of my last mock matched with my actual GMAT. Important takeaway here is doing an analysis holistically. I even developed some of my own techniques of analyzing my performances.
I was consistently hitting 49 and occasional 50 in quant but verbal was patchy with scores varying from 24 to 32. After 2 months of rigorous efforts I started getting consistent 700+ in mocks. It was the time I decided to sit again for an actual GMAT. on 17th Aug I took my GMAT again and was disappointed to see a 640. After recovering from the shock I took a mock and I got 710. Meanwhile I talked to Mayank sir and he was very supportive. He instilled the confidence in me that I have the capability and it was just an off day. I started practicing again and took GMAT again on 4th Sep, just to see a 600 on the scorecard. I was utterly disappointed and ashamed of myself and decided not even to discuss with Mayank sir. But, Mayank sir himself called me up. He was again very supportive and assured me that I have the capability, it was the exam pressure, which was playing on my head. He advised me to calm my nerves, spend some good time with my family, and do whatever which makes me feel good. I followed his advice for the next few days, packed up all my GMAT books and tried to stay away from anxieties. I started feeling confident again, and took GMAT again on 25th Sep. 720 it was with Q49 and V39. It was one precious moment I will never forget in my life. Thanks to the tremendous support from Mayank Sir and the entire Experts’ team that I achieved 720 from 600 in just 21 days.
Now, moving ahead to the application process, soon I realized that getting a good GMAT is just a beginning. As September was already gone, I had very little time to sit back and relax and it was time to start hitting the applications. I once again took help from the Experts’ Global. Their turnaround time was so quick that I was able to apply into 11 schools of my choice within a month. The applications including the essays were so good that I was shortlisted for interview in 8 out of 11 schools that I applied including NUS, NTU, ISB and HKU. Once the applications were submitted I had few intense mock interviews, which covered all aspects of my application and essays. Finally, after 2 months long process of interviews, wait for results and evaluating all the options at hand, I chose IIM B for my MBA. The programme will be commencing from 30th March and I am very thankful to the entire Experts’ team for making my dream of studying in one of the top B-schools in the world, come true.

With just 17 months of experience in the conventional Indian, IT space, I was bent on targeting only the US top 20 schools. The sentiments I got from everyone around were negative.

With little hope and a lot of ambition, I spoke to Mayank Sir at The Experts’ Global for his advice on the matter. To this day, I am thankful to the team of Experts’ Global for a lot of things, but the most important of those was the encouragement that they offered at a time when I seriously needed it.

There was a time when we had a creative difference regarding the portrayal of a particular aspect of my candidature, but Experts’ Global’s stand was firm on what would be best for me and I am glad I followed their advice :)

The last few months of my life have been a very significant journey for me where I have learned the value of dedication, belief, and guidance. I would like to thank the entire team at Experts’ Global sincerely.

I had an awful experience with GMAT in my first attempt in 2008. It was so disastrous that I had rested all my hopes.

But, desires never die and I took it up again in 2012 but this time felt a need for some guidance in preparation. I interacted with a lot of guys including
the big names in NCR but nothing clicked. Then I met Mayank and we chatted for half an hour on the 2008 fiasco and he knew what to do in my case.

I wanted a personalized experience and that is what I got. Together with Anand, Mayank chalked out a study plan which I had to just follow. The classroom
experience also helped continue the rhythm. The tips and the tricks were really helpful and the tips given just before the final day helped a lot. Now I
knew exactly what went wrong in my first attempt.

I wanted to get into an Indian B-School only and I managed a decent score and an admit in IIM Bangalore.

I am still in touch with both Mayank and Anand and wish they do wonders in life.

Thanks Experts' Global for the wonderful memories.

I would say that Expert Global Services provides value for every penny that is paid to them. The founders Mayank and Shailesh having done their MBA and know best about the MBA admissions than any other consultants I have seen

GMAT : I approached them during distress when my GMAT score was struck at 670 even after preparation for 1 year. On my request they fast tracked my GMAT coaching and was able to achieve a GMAT score of 730 in just 30 days. I took few other courses before but Experts Global helped me the best.

Admissions Consulting:
I evaluated many online consultants before going with Experts Global. I evaluated all consultants in terms of value for money, number of reviews , help with interviews, scholarship guarantee and founded Experts Global to be best among others.
School Selection:
They helped me with school selection giving me lot of insights about different concentrations , school placements and connecting with school alumni. This is what distinguishes them from other consultants
Admission Essays: Unlike many admission consultants Experts understand that every person's story is different and spend a lot of time understanding your story. They do not make up stories. Once they understand the story they bring insights from your story and present it in a better way to admissions. Since story is of your own you would be more confident and would answer any questions based on your profile during the interviews. Unlike others , you can have as many reviews of essays . I feel this is a big differentiating factor.
Admission interview preparation: Experts Global conducts mock interviews before all the interviews and prepares you well for the admissions interviews.

Help with Visa interview: Nothing would be more panicking than going for a visa interview with the present situation in US. Experts global helps with visa interview preparation as well.

I secured admission into 3 schools with scholarship and completed my MBA from a Top school with 90% Scholarship. I feel that over all they understand importance of every step and their services are worth every penny you pay. They do not just write you some essays and leave you on your own. They make sure that you get into your dream school

Preparation of MBA application can be a daunting task. I went through the same challenge 3 years ago. To make the right decision, the amount of knowledge, time and effort required is humongous. It is difficult to anticipate the number of Universities and the different aspects involved in the selection of colleges. Some of the important aspects to be considered are personal interest, short term and long-term goal.

Simplification and clarity of the process is important to develop a coherent plan. The first major milestone is the selection of colleges. The decision should be based on personal interest, academic background, and extracurricular and professional background. Additionally the opportunities each university can provide should also be considered. The focus should not only be on securing an admission but also on the next two years of professional career to develop a strong career path.

At this junction the help of the MBA consultant can provide the right assistance and direction. For me Experts global provided the much needed support and knowledge. What impressed me about Experts global was the team of experienced professionals. The involvement and the commitment of Experts global not only for the admission but also for the future growth was refreshing.
Experts global understood my long-term goals and created a path to achieve that.
Over the years I have recommended several of my friends and family to experts global and all of them had similar experiences. Looking back I cannot imagine the current career path without the assistance and help from Expert’s Global.

I worked with Shailesh Sir in 2016 and took an 11 schools package with Interview Prep.

Pros:-
1. Overall the process was enjoyable. It was stress-free. Shailesh sir is an inspiring person and it was always fun to interact with him. (Sometimes over 1 hour long calls)

2. He was very straightforward in setting the expectation and candid about his thoughts on my candidacy. That was something I appreciated a lot. No sugar-coating

3. He has worked with a lot of students and that experience comes handy


Cons:
1. Approach - I applied to all 11 colleges in Round 1 itself. While I was in agreement with the approach back then but now when I think about it I realise that 11 schools in 1 round were too much. This shouldn't have been promoted.

2. School Selection - I was very keen to restrict my schools to the top 12 schools in the USA. However, the school recommended by Expert's were still top 25. Although the final decision lied with me, based on their recommendation I applied to schools in top 20, albeit reluctantly. The final result was that even though I cracked Tepper and UNC, I didn't join because that was not what I wanted.

3. Approachability - Don't get me wrong, Shailesh Sir is a very nice person. However, to reach him I had to send a mail and book an appointment sometimes 2-3 days in advance. Although this is an industry norm, I didn't like it. I feel the person should be more approachable.

Overall, It was a good experience for me and was full of learnings. Experts' Global is a good place to be especially considering that it's pocket-friendly (somewhat). There were a few hiccups but then it was a good learning experience.

I first heard of Experts Global, when one of my friends who got into a top B-school in USA informed me about the company.

I had a meeting with Mayank sir, the founder of the company and ultimately decided to work with him. It pleases me to say that that the company was able to guide me to get into the business school of my choice.

Experts Global’s process was invaluable in helping me refine my business school’s list and the stories for them. Their “Introspection Process” in particular was instrumental in helping illicit experiences in my life that would contribute to an overall compelling story. Each of my advisers was always professional and incredibly responsive. The comments on my essays were very insightful. Experts Global also helped me in improving my resume structure & content.

In addition to the content of my applications, Experts Global was also key in keeping my application process on track, as they ensured that I kept to the important application deadlines amidst my work schedule. Furthermore, the company reviewed my final application before submission and provided sufficient interview practice with junior and senior counsellors, which ultimately prepared me for the interview.

I wholeheartedly recommend Experts Global because they have so far helped me get into the business school of my first choice.

From the beginning of the process, starting with deciding where to apply, and when to apply, I have consistently received great counsel and guidance. The entire process was enjoyable and really helped me focus on the important parts of my application.
Shailesh is very structured and frank in his assessment, and throughout the application process, he made me feel very confident. Available to clarify all the points at any time, and providing very important feedback, he helped me develop a structured and organized approach to my applications. All my successful results wouldn't be possible without his help. With his help, I was able to secure an admit in all of my preferred schools.
