I chose Fortuna because of their deep knowledge of the admission process. Besides, as a European applicant, I felt they had a strong edge on other admission consultants in being truly international, rather than focusing on the US.

At the beginning of the process, Fortuna helped me to build the confidence that I could aim to top MBA programmes, and to clearly assess the strengths of my profile to emphasise in my application.

Coming from a non-traditional background with multiple jobs, Fortuna guidance was extremely useful in selecting the right stories and addressing my weak points effectively. My essays improved significantly through multiple revisions, and having Caroline, Insead former Admission Director, to give a final evaluation before hitting ‘submit’ felt very reassuring!

Finally, the mock-interview before the real one really helped in knowing what to expect, and how to be ready for that last crucial step.

With all the time and effort I spent on my MBA application, I am glad with my decision of engaging Fortuna in helping me achieving such a great result!

I contracted Fortuna to do a roadmap for a potential future MBA to see what path would make the most sense given my general career direction. After many interviews and long conversations they provided me a full breakdown of the way admissions would view my strengths and weaknesses and what to improve on before applying.

Not only were the staff professional but the information and strategy they returned was comprehensive. At the end of the day the roadmap itself was very pricey, but not in any way above industry standard. Since I had this done considerably before applying for an MBA I was able to correct all the deficiencies they mentioned.

Overall they were very helpful in guiding me through the options in front of me. I ended up getting an MSc internationally in the end and now have a job that generally requires an MBA. Should I ever decide to return for an MBA I will be in an incredibly strong spot.

In the end while there are a lot of places that offer this kind of service, Fortuna was very easy and pleasant to work with. I would use them again for my application package too if I go that route.
