From Doubt to CBS - Thanks to Dr. Shelly

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I never imagined I'd be admitted to Columbia EMBA! As an older, non-native applicant, I felt out of touch and unsure where to start. Dr. Shelly changed everything. She's sharp, professional, incredibly responsive, and walked me through every step of the application process with patience and care. Her insights were spot on, and her guidance gave me the confidence I needed. What stood out most was her commitment - she truly wants the candidates to succeed. Her support far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't have done this without her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into a top MBA program.

MBA Admit

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Dr. Shelle is very knowledgeable and skilled at business school consulting. She was instrumental in providing me end-to-end support. The process was seamless and started with a comprehensive questionnaire which framed various themes that helped me with crafting my resume and drafting my essays. Dr. Shelle reviewed and edited my resume and essays. She was readily available for questions via email, phone and via Zoom. She also provided robust interview prep. I was very pleased with the result as I was accepted to my target school, Wharton. I would emphatically recommend MBA Admit and Dr. Shelle's consulting services without hesitation. 5 Stars!!!

Admitted to both MIT and Wharton EMBA

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Thanks to Dr. Shel's support, I have been accepted into both Wharton and MIT EMBA programs. I am an East Asian international applicant, a part of a tougher demographic.

Dr. Shel was amazing throughout the whole process. She helped me put together the outline of my essays, and her edits really nailed the points I needed to get across. Her advice on communicating effectively with my superiors for recommendations was especially helpful. Her interview prep was super valuable too—I got to really think through my strengths and weaknesses, and her guidance and feedback made a huge difference.

I can’t recommend Dr. Shel enough!

Great consulting services!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I was fortunate to gain admission to several exceptional MBA programs, including three of the top five in the Financial Times rankings, such as Wharton and Columbia. This achievement would not have been possible without the expert guidance of MBA admit consultants, who helped me craft a compelling strategy to present my credentials and profile in the most impactful way. Their interview preparation coaching was incredibly valuable, boosting my confidence and refining my responses. MBA Admit proved to be a highly trustworthy and worthwhile investment. As a referral from a previously satisfied client, I can wholeheartedly recommend MBAAdmit.com to anyone seeking top-tier MBA admissions support.

Her insights and thought process helped me to form my responses well suited to present my application materials in a highly developed light with clear direction. She also helped develop great recommendations with world class editing. Dr. Shel is super trustworthy and all of her services were totally worth the investment in myself and my education goals. As a senior professional I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking help to put a comprehensive and strong package together for any top business programs.

Great help in cracking my admission

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Dr. Shel helped me to get into both Wharton and Booth EMBA. She set the right strategy from reviewing the resume to doing mock interviews. I am an Engineer from India who is living and working in USA. Being from a tougher demographic group w.r.t mba admissions, it would have been hard for me to get into without Dr.Shell’s guidance. She helped me in reviewing my essays and made great suggestions. Also her suggestions in picking right recommendations are invaluable. Dr. Shel went through every inch of my profile and provided guidance based on strengths and weaknesses of my profile. I feel Dr.Shel is a trustworthy person who can rely on in your admissions journey. I fully recommend Dr. Shel and her company MBA Admit for your admission consultation.

Dr. Shel is simply Incredible! Highly Recommend!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I interviewed 5+ consultants (big and small firms) and found Dr. Shel to be far and away the best one. Very easy to talk to and work with, and found the experience to be much more personal than some of the other firms.

I applied to CBS and was accepted! I attribute this successful outcome to Dr. Shel's approach. She genuinely looks to understand your unique background and goals to help craft the appropriate application. I had already prepared my materials but in hindsight I was so fortunate to have consulted with Dr. Shel prior to submitting anything! She transformed my application. She exponentially improved my essays while keeping my fundamental story intact (which was important to me). Interview prep was spot on as well. She gives you all the confidence and tools you need to succeed in a competitive MBA/EMBA applicant pool.

I would not have been admitted if it were not for Dr. Shel's winning formula. If I had to go through the application process again, Dr. Shel would be the one and only choice! 100000% worth the investment.

Phenomenal Service

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Dr. Shelly and MBAadmit were absolutely amazing! I applied to two executive MBA programs - The Wharton School and Chicago Booth - and was admitted to both. I attribute my admission success, in large part, to my consultations with Dr. Shelly and her expertise. Her advice on how to curate my resume, structure my essays, and approach interviews was priceless and confidence boosting. She’s highly experienced, extremely professional, but very easy to work with. I’d recommend MBAadmit.com with zero hesitation!!! If you are looking for the best MBA admissions consultant, I would look no further than Dr. Shelly and MBAadmit.com. Her services exceeded expectations by a light year!!

Older EMBA candidate admitted to MIT

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Dr Shel is a real pro at MBA / EMBA admissions coaching and essay editing. She gave me expert advice about essay writing and the admissions process overall. Despite tight application deadlines and the time zone difference, she edited my essays highlighting winning themes improving them 1000%. I only applied to the MIT EMBA program and honestly doubt whether I would have been admitted without her help.

Additionally, Dr Shel worked with my recommenders to brush up their rather rough letters into very polished reflections of me, my work history, and future potential.

Her services are easily worth 4-5 times what she charges. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone who asks about her services.

Admitted to Wharton!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I've been accepted to my dream school (the Wharton School) thanks to Dr. Shel.

The following are some excellent examples of what makes Dr. Shel special:

1. Strategy: Being an Indian Male Engineer, I needed to standout from the pile and Dr. Shel precisely delivered on a strategy that helped me do that.
2. High standard content: Dr. Shel reviewed my essays, resume etc and worked through multiple iterations until they were perfect.
3. Interview prep: This was key in cracking Wharton.
4. Price: The price to services offered ratio offered by Dr. Shel beats her competitors by a mile.

Dr. Shel's critical feedback made the difference in my application and I could not see myself being at Wharton without Dr. Shel's help. I would strongly recommend her service if you're targeting an MBA admission at any of the top schools in the US.
