If you are on the fence about using a consultant, Michel was worth the cost and incredibly beneficial throughout the process. The entire Fortuna experience was great and helped take my application from good to great.

When considering a consultant, I was looking for someone who had admissions experience and would be able to candidly evaluate my application. Michel provided a unique perspective when reviewing my essays and overall application. Michel was genuine, responsive and encouraging during the crazy application season. She was a great resource from idea generation to making a final decision. I can't thank her enough for helping me get into my dream school!

Who am I? I am a military pilot with a good GPA from a state school and an average GRE score for my target programs.

My success: 2019-2020 application cycle, applying R2, I had done zero work on my applications or essays and had roughly 45 days until the R2 deadlines. Sharon was instrumental in my ability to complete applications to 7 Top 10 MBA programs within 45 days— I was working full time. I received 6 admits, 1 waitlist, and ultimately accepted an offer to attend Wharton w/$.

How she helped:
1) Identifying the characteristics, each school was looking for and the underlying questions each essay was asking.
2) Selecting my best story to tackle each question.
3) She changed my writing style from procedural to creative writing, AKA good storytelling. Also, she corrected grammar mistakes and improved my word choice.
4) Helped me avoid applications landmines, that would have otherwise suck my applications.
5) Supporting and kept me on task, on schedule (accountability).

I worked with Sharon on an hourly basis, which was the most cost-effective route given my situation. She was very generous with her time. I felt as if she was there anytime I need help, and that my money was well spent.

I contribute much of my success to Sharon, my name is Eric, if you contact her, she can pass you my contact information, and I would gladly chat 1:1.

I have worked with Sharon from start to finish on a number of applications and I can safely say that it was the best decision I made. I was admitted to Yale SOM, UCLA Anderson, NYU Stern, USC Marshall and other schools on my list and I could not have done it without her excellent guidance and help during the admissions process. She knows the business school application process and different programs really well and thoroughly cares about her clients. She dedicated an incredible amount of time to getting to know me (including discussing my strengths after a CliftonStrengths assessment) brainstorming my professional goals, gave detailed feedback on my resume, all my essays (including many drafts) and all parts of the written application and worked extensively on interview prep with me which I believe made all the difference in my applications. Despite our time difference, she was very flexible and responsive over phone, Skype and Google Docs and was available at very short notice close to the deadlines. Even at most stressful times during the application process, she kept me on track with her support, positivity and mentorship. I 110% recommend her to anyone looking to apply to the top MBA programs because you will not find a better teammate than Sharon in this process, she is a rockstar!

3 months to the application deadlines, i was very confused and I wasn't clear about how to go about my applications. I was introduced to Fortuna and i scheduled a 30 mins free consultation call with Fortuna and i was matched with Karen Hamou. After the call, i was convinced i had to go with Fortuna.
Working with Karen, especially was fantastic. She was interested in learning my motivations and story and as a result, she was able to help me structure my thoughts and appropriately convey them on paper.
Also, her turnaround time was fantastic, typically reviewing my material within a day, even during the festive period.
Within a space of 3 months, i was able to come up with my resume and application materials for 5 schools.
With a GRE score of 326, i applied to Booth, Yale, Fuqua, Darden and Vanderbilt and i got admitted to all the schools!

Even after i had exhausted my consultation time, Karen kept in touch with me, sending me useful links and materials and wishing me success for my interviews

A big thank you to Fortuna and Karen. It was very great working with her and i highly recommend working with Fortuna, whether you're in or outside the US.

P.S: I am from Africa.

Willie was a great advisor during the stressful business school application process. He provided me the feedback that friends and family couldn't or wouldn't. I was applying as a traditional consultant applicant and felt well prepared for the application process, but I asked Willie to review my essays. I was shocked when an essay I thought was ready for submission came back with significant feedback. Six months later it has become clear why he provided that feedback and I know that this feedback made a difference for me getting into Wharton and Kellogg. I would highly recommend him to anyone applying to M7 schools.

Deeply knowledgeable on the business school admissions process, Melissa provided me with some very detailed and constructive feedback on how to best showcase my professional accomplishments in my essays & resume, and stand-out to the admissions committee. She also helped structure my essays to highlight my key personal achievements and put forth a well-balanced view of my personality; ultimately helping me make it to the interview shortlist. Subsequently she also provided me with a lot of resources and guidance on how best to prepare for the interview, and present myself on the day.
Extremely professional in her work, Melissa was always quick to get back with her reviews without compromising on the quality of her inputs, yet being very friendly and extremely approachable at all times. It was an absolute pleasure working with her, and can only offer my highest levels of recommendation for her work. I will always be grateful to her for helping me get admitted into my dream b-school.

Willie was the perfect consultant for a non-traditional applicant like myself. I shopped several potential consultants and it was evident from day one that Willie understood my non-traditional story better than anybody. He consistently helped me to better frame my story in a more favorable light.
His insights consistently blew me away and I’m confident that he was the difference maker than enabled me to gain acceptance into HBS and other top programs with scholarships.

Yes, hiring a consultant is expensive. However, if Willie can substantially increase your odds of admission as he did for me, this investment will pay for itself countless times over. Having worked with him, I have zero doubts about his abilities. I owe him tremendously and without question, my time with Willie is the best investment I have ever made.

I cannot recommend Fortuna Admissions, and specifically Tatiana Nemo, enough. We focused our time together on two applications, primarily on the resume, essay-drafting, and interview prep.
Rather than focus on a specific formula for success, Tatiana heard out my pain points and guided me through those obstacles in a painless and constructive manner. Once the ball got rolling, it was incredibly easy to work with her to put my thoughts and goals on paper, and I found her very effective at helping me synthesize my thoughts when I struggled to verbalize them, even after only a couple conversations! Tatiana was very patient throughout the whole process and nothing but helpful each step along the way, from resume-building to interview prep. I'm extremely grateful for her help and thanks to her guidance in the process, I was admitted to both of my top choices!

I purchased an 8 hour package service package with Fortuna Admission before the round 3 deadline of INSEAD. Before deciding to apply for INSEAD, I have successfully applied for a few American business school myself, so I was fairly familiar with the application process. However, INSEAD is such prestigious school that I think I will have a chance to be accepted by not a great chance. So I decided to get some help from the professionals to maximise my chance of being accepted in the coming intake of INSEAD.

I did some research online and found about Fortuna Admission, they appear to have extensive experience of helping applicants getting into INSEAD, and from my experience working with them, they proved that they are excellent at what they do, and getting help from them turned out to be a wise decision.

I worked with Nonie, who was an absolute pleasure to work with. She helped me tailor my application materials to better present myself by making sure that the points in my essays have come through to meet the selecting criteria of INSEAD. She pointed out things I never thought of and helped me identify the aspects that needs to be emphasised and the ones to be avoided. Many of my essays were finalised close to the deadline, and thanks to Nonie, who always found a way to respond to my last minute requests, my application was successfully submitted on time.

I found my mock interview with Nonie was very helpful as well. I was initially intimidated by the idea of video interviews as I have done it poorly in the past, but working with Nonie who guided me through the themes of the INSEAD video interview, I felt so much more confident afterwards and improved my video interview performance in a short time.

My final application result was successful, and I don’t think it would be this smooth without the help from Fortuna Admission and especially Nonie. I would highly recommend them!
