Debbie was an incredible source of support throughout the MBA application process. Before working with her, I had a negative experience with another admissions coach and was feeling discouraged about my application/story. I decided to work with Debbie after reading strong reviews and having a positive intro call. From that first conversation, I could tell she was genuine and dedicated to helping applicant’s put their best self forward.

I purchased the hourly package for application support, and she went above and beyond. She answered all of my questions whether it was brainstorming ideas, selecting which experiences to highlight for different essay prompts, giving detailed essay feedback, and sharing thoughtful insights. She also advised me on a clear throughline for my short/long term career goals.

Debbie is warm, encouraging, and supportive, while keeping it real. She was timely with her feedback and overall amazing to work with. I recommend Debbie to anyone looking for a thoughtful partner throughout the application process, and for those looking to apply to top programs!

I spent quite a bit of time researching several different companies and consultants before ultimately choosing Debbie, and I’m so glad I did. I was drawn to her glowing reviews and also appreciated our shared background—both of us attended small liberal arts colleges in the Northeast (she went to Vassar, I went to Wesleyan). What really stood out, though, was Debbie’s genuine interest in my unconventional path to business school. She was excited to help me craft a compelling narrative around my pivot from tech into real estate, with a strong focus on staying in Los Angeles.

Debbie was incredibly organized, always responded promptly, and even accommodated a few tight deadlines when personal circumstances came up. Her skill at editing essays and developing outlines tailored to each school was truly impressive. I worked with her on three schools, and I'm thrilled to share that I was accepted to USC Marshall with nearly a full scholarship. There's no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have achieved this outcome without Debbie’s support on my essays, resume, and interview prep. Thank you, Debbie!

I did 3 school package and worked with Debbie. She is absolutely fantastic! Before, I always considered B school applications to be an incredibly time-consuming endeavor. I really didn't have a lot of time for application materials and Debbie made my application season so easy and smooth! She is incredibly organized, and her system of work saved me a great deal of time. While I know my friends who did 15 versions on the same essays, most of my essays are done within only 1-3 rounds of edits. Debbie is able to guide you through the entire process with the clearest instructions and easiest actionable assignments but able to deliver amazing results. Would never thought application could be so easy yet getting such good offers!

Debbie was instrumental to my successful MBA applications. I signed up for her 3-school package, and applied to 3 schools independently. Used in conjunction with the OnTrack resource, I felt well supported in the application process for all of my applications. She was very organized and guided me through each step in the process. After each of our initial brainstorming sessions, I had the necessary guidance to start my essays for each school, and her feedback on each essay helped improve my writing clarity. I do think that in order to make the best use of these services, you need to be very committed to the process and invest the necessary time to engage with brainstorming, essay drafting, etc. With that in mind, highly recommend Debbie!

I had an absolutely incredible experience working with Debbie! I went into the MBA applications process with very little confidence and a lot of fear given my undergraduate admission experience. I had intro sessions with a few potential counselors, but after my session with Debbie, I knew she was the one I wanted to work with. I was drawn to Debbie’s positive attitude, calmness, and pursuit of excellence. Although the price seems high, Debbie, and the structure of the mbaMission package, quickly helped me gain the confidence back and kept me on track.

I worked on 3 schools with Debbie. Debbie knows how to identify what makes you stand out as an applicant and is extremely effective in helping translate that into your essays. She is kind, understanding, intelligent, and knows exactly what each school is looking for in their candidates. For each school, Debbie gave me highly effective and practical feedback with very impressive turnaround time. As someone who is very detail oriented, I asked so many questions and refined my work often -- Debbie guided me on every single part of each application and answered every single question right up until I hit submit. She helped me find my voice and craft applications that conveyed my best story, where I didn’t even think I had one.

I was not expecting any scholarships, but received a full scholarship from NYU Stern and $50,000 a year at CBS which was my top school. This, on top of the peace of mind that working with Debbie gave me, was well worth the price. I attribute much of this success to Debbie’s guidance and can’t emphasize enough how much I recommend her as a counselor. I felt like she was genuinely invested in my journey and was routing for me along the way!

mbaMission has such a comprehensive package of resources, more than what you need to prepare a competitive application based on my situation. In early 2024, in the touch base section, the consultant provided candid evaluation of my profile and my later application results showed that their evaluation was on point. Working with Debbie, she is really knowledgeable and always professional and helpful in every step of my application. Her International background also helps me greatly as she understands the situation of where I come from. Her encouragement give me more confidence in telling my own story in the application process, and it helped me immensely in getting to the program I dreamed of.

After being denied by the full time MBA programs at Columbia Business School and McCombs Business School, I reached out to Debbie based on the recommendation of another reapplicant at CBS. Debbie took careful time to understand my very unique situation thoroughly and was incredibly empathetic. She helped me write truly differentiating reapplicant essays. Ten days after submitting my reapplication to CBS, I was offered admission. I honestly believe it was Debbie's thoughtful and dedicated effort that got me over the hump and admitted to my first choice in b school, despite average test scored and a below average undergrad GPA. I worked with other MBA consultants during my initial application and Debbie outmatched them in every way. From her attention to detail, to her quick turnaround to answer obvious questions, to her top-tier edits on my essays, I never felt like I wasn't getting every bit of care and assistance I felt I needed. Debbie will always be the first word out of my mouth if anyone ever asks me how to get into business school. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Debbie!!!!

I had a wonderful experience working with Debbie throughout the R1 application cycle. Debbie was thoughtful, organized, and insightful as I was developing my essays and resume. I appreciated the perspective that she brought to the unique values of each program. She was intentional about getting to know me and my story upfront which made the writing and editing process run seamlessly. Without her support, I don’t think I’d be attending my dream program this fall. I also loved having access to mbaMission's extensive portfolio of resources and workshops; they provided lots of invaluable insights that helped demystify the application process. I’d definitely recommend working with Debbie and mbaMission!
