Firstly, thanks to the entire team of MBA & Beyond. Could not have imagined the successful admits without their support.

My consultant Devanshu stood behind me like a rock. I reached out to him with a very tight deadline. But, he ensured that we were able to close the things within the deadline with great quality. He was very approachable, and offered some very crucial insights which were really important. He has a great understanding of overall b-schools ecosystem and provided a thorough understanding of what admissions committees look for in candidates.

When it came to interview preparation, Devanshu was equally instrumental. I was nervous, but his encouragement, detailed feedback, and structured approach helped me gain confidence. He identified key areas for improvement and ensured I was well-prepared for any question that could come my way.

I also want to express my gratitude to Rahat, the applications coordinator, whose continuous check-ins kept me motivated and on track. Her proactive support in arranging mock interviews with other consultants was incredibly helpful. A huge thanks to Sangeetha & Kishan, who conducted insightful mock interviews and provided critical feedback that sharpened my responses and boosted my confidence.

Overall, a very amazing journey with the team. Their structured approach, personalized attention, and deep understanding of the MBA admissions process made this journey smooth and rewarding.

How did MBA&B help you in your MBA goals?

The team at MBA&B had a structured process for their MBA admissions process, this started with a very extensive content-gathering stage where despite being an introvert who had already done plenty of introspection over the years, I was encouraged to dig deep into my experiences and motivations to come up with compelling unique stories. Moving on to selecting schools and pairing the right consultant, the team ensured I was paired with someone who could relate to my profile as an older candidate and helped me choose the right schools.
Beyond the applications, the MBA&B team ensured I had mock interviews despite only giving them a few days notices on two occasions and support was provided even after admits for scholarship negotiations. Also, the support team was always available and helpful in sharing application content and quality material for preparation of applications and interview.

What really stood out about MBA&B?

Due to some personal circumstances, I could not submit my applications to my target schools properly in time and had to re-apply the next year. The MBA&B team extended support beyond what was initially agreed to help me re-frame my overall profile for three of the top business schools in Canada and Europe.
Getting my essays ready was a long and extensive process of working with my consultant, who was always a message away on WhatsApp and encouraged me to re-work on my essays and structure my thoughts coherently. I was always able to get a quick response on my drafts and we went through countless edits and reviews to help me craft coherent narratives across several weeks. This extended effort resulted in admits with significant scholarships at all three schools I applied.
Despite having exam re-sits in my undergrad degree and not being employed at the time of applications, I was able to secure admits to Rotman, Ivey and INSEAD with total scholarship amount worth CAD 100,000.

Applications Outcome:

INSEAD Admit – EUR 25,000 Scholarship
Ivey Admit – CAD 35,000 Scholarship
Rotman Admit – CAD 25,000 Scholarship
