Electrified by Anju: From Apps to Admits!

Working with Anju was truly transformative, she brought such genuine care and expertise to every step of my MBA application journey. From the very first call, Anju took the time to really understand my background, pulling out unique stories I hadn't even considered and shaping them into essays that felt authentically me yet powerfully compelling for top programs. Her thoughtful, iterative feedback made the whole process feel collaborative and energising, not overwhelming, with the team's seamless support on resumes, LORs, and mocks keeping everything on track even during my crunch-time revisions.

I'm so grateful for the real results she helped me achieve. It was clear her investment in my success came from a place of deep passion and professionalism that made all the difference. Anju's guidance didn't just polish my applications; it boosted my confidence to own my story.

I utilised the services of The Red Pen (TRP) for my MBA admissions process. Being a full-time working professional, the support from TRP was essential for me to complete the technical process of submitting an MBA application. My lead consultant Ms. Anju Goela provided a detailed structure that ensured all aspects of the process were fulfilled in a timely fashion. All the consultants were open with their critical feedback which empowered me to create a well-rounded application. Their support ensured I got admitted to my target school, Warwick Business School. I highly recommend the services of TRP for anyone who wishes to approach the MBA admission process in a systematic fashion.

Working with Anju was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. From day one, she took the time to understand me—my background, my goals, and what I wanted to achieve with an MBA. She guided me through the entire process, from choosing schools to perfecting my essays and preparing for interviews.

What really stood out was her dedication. She went through countless drafts with me, and her feedback always helped me get closer to the perfect version of my application. It wasn’t always easy—there were definitely moments when I felt overwhelmed—but her encouragement and belief in me made all the difference.

In the end, I got into my top-choice MBA program out of the four schools I applied to in Round 1, and I couldn’t have done it without her. If you’re looking for someone who will be your biggest cheerleader while also giving you honest, actionable advice, Anju is the one.

I worked with The Red Pen for R2 applications for the fall 2024 intake for the MBA. I loved my experience of working with TRP. I came into the applications process with limited knowledge of MBA applications, and the TRP team was there to guide me through every step of the way. They are extremely punctual and while they demand the best out of you, it's only because that is what they are willing to give themselves.

I would like to thank the red pen team, namely Anju, Srishti, and Prerna. Anju, my lead consultant, went above and beyond in making sure I was well prepared in my applications, and all her hard work has resulted in me getting interviews at every school I applied to, and admits into all the schools I have heard back from till now!

I had approached Team Red Pen less than a month prior to Round 1 of admissions to the Sloan Programme at the London Business School. A shout-out to my consultant Anju Kesharwani Goela and her back end support team is in order and is an apt acknowledgment of her enterprise, zeal and commitment. She is singularly responsible for mentoring me and leading me across the line in a very short time whilst following a highly disciplined work schedule and stringent deadlines. I credit her for her dynamism, ingenuity and energy which not only yielded a near flawless application but prepared me optimally for my eventual two-stage interview. Grateful indeed, sincerely!
