It's impossible to overstate how great my entire experience with Gavriella was. She was incredibly insightful and diligent and her expertise showed at every available moment. I looked into a number of consulting services and the amount of attention and care that Gavriella puts into her work was evident from the first time we spoke. Naturally, given the investment level of a consulting service I wanted to make the best possible choice and I can say with absolute confidence that I did. Gavriella truly gets personally invested in your success and does everything within her ability to help you achieve your goals. I got accepted into my top choice of program and that would not have been possible without Gavriella's help. If you're looking for the absolute best possible experience in every way - do yourself a favour and get in touch with Gavriella! Even if I hadn't been accepted anywhere, I'd give her 6 stars if I could!

I consulted with a multitude of consultants from top MBA consulting programs. They sounded the same and worked with their clients to submit cookie cutter applications based on what they thought top schools desired. Gavriella was the first consultant that I found that helped me stand out. She compelled me to dig deep to understand myself better and helped me craft a narrative and profile that was authentic, captivating, and cohesive - even in the two hours I had with her. I feel like I understand my trajectory and career path so much more after working with her. She’s knows how to uncover the underlying story.

Gavriella was a fantastic consultant throughout the entire MBA application process. I could not recommend her more. From the initial consultation meeting, Gavriella soothed my nerves. She quickly provided a clear and thorough plan of how I would work through my apps. We worked very closely from then on, and I appreciate how she went above and beyond to provide quick turns of my essays and make herself available, even on weekends on a few occasions. She provided detailed and very additive edits (grammatically, structurally, and most importantly creatively). The highlight of working with Gavriella was truly the brainstorming / “crafting my story” process – crucial to my application and the pain point of the process for me. She really took the time to understand my journey to date, asking thoughtful questions to identify unique stories, and brainstorming interesting ways to tell my story. Furthermore, she gave me a needed confidence boost to see that my story is unique, and was always honest and frank. At the end of the day, I got into 3 out of the 5 schools (including two M7 schools) I applied to and waitlisted at another M7. Gavriella was instrumental to that result, and I cannot thank her enough!

Gavriella is, hands down, THE BEST. I purchased start-to-finish packages and have worked with Gavriella for almost a year now. I recall we spent hours brainstorming and talking through every essay idea I had. Her feedback on my essays was always very thorough, on-point, and helpful. She also offered to hop on a call to discuss those essay comments to ensure I was on the same page. Gavriella was super responsive - I was never stressed about meeting deadlines because we'd finish all the essays and application questions well ahead. She also offered tremendous help to prepare me for all different kinds of interviews. We did at least two mock interviews for each school, and each session lasted at least an hour.

I couldn't have done it without Gavriella. I was not super confident about my candidacy, given that my GMAT and years of work experience are below average in any top school's admitted student profile. Yet, Gavriella has been a huge supporter for me in this process. She is knowledgeable about all the programs and provides me with insight on what stories to tell (it's super strategic!). I really wouldn't have imagined getting invited to interviews at all schools I applied to, receiving a full-ride scholarship from one of the top programs, and getting admitted to my dream school (with scholarship).

I highly recommend Gavriella to anyone who's thinking to work with an MBA consultant in this process! I can't get enough of saying how fabulous she is!!

I decided to apply to B school just 1.5 months before R1 deadlines and Gavriella made the process seamless, taking out much of the stress I would’ve had without her! From setting a schedule for deliverables (making the whole process much more manageable), the in-depth brainstorm, to multiple revisions of my HBS and GSB essays, and brainstorming & editing for the short answer prompts as well, she showed her prowess as an advisor, writer/editor, and storyteller. She also knew many of the MBA programs so well and was able to help me curate my story to uniquely fit each one. She was invaluable in my preparation for my HBS interview, conducting a mock interview, giving me helpful feedback, and sharing other potential questions that could come up. She also courteously gave me feedback on a couple schools’ essays that were not included in my package, which I am extremely grateful for!

Gavriella made me feel comfortable and confident in my experience and story, ultimately making the admissions process alone an enlightening journey. I’m happy to share that with her help, I was admitted to my dream school, HBS, and Wharton! I would highly recommend working with Gavriella, she was so easy to work with and provided quality feedback. I’m confident I put my best foot forward with my applications and I would not have been able to get them there without her!

Working with Gavriella has been a pleasure. During my first session with Gavriella, I wasn’t very confident of applying to the top tier business schools. Gavriella provided me a realistic evaluation of my candidacy and the much needed confidence boost to apply to the top tier business schools. Gavriella’s guidance, feedback and insights have been extremely valuable throughout my application process and helped me get into my dream school. She pushed me to give my best and build a strong application focussed on the right aspects of my background.
Gavrialla was very easy to work with; very responsive and always available to answer any questions. She demonstrated a strong understanding, expertise and judgement around the MBA application process.
I feel that I wouldn’t have gotten into Columbia Business School without Gavriella’s guidance. I would definitely recommend Gavriella for MBA admissions consulting.

At first when I started applying to business school I thought I could do it on my own and I was thinking "how much can a consultant actually help...is it worth the price?" Well on my own I was denied to every school I applied to in R1.

Then, I decided to do a free consultation with Gavriella and I knew she would be instrumental in my applications for R2 Man, was I right. In R2 I was accepted to all 7 of the schools I applied to and most with 50% scholarship. Not to mention being accepted at my dream school Ross.

I chose to do the hourly services and I was not disappointed. I would turn essays to her at 2am and they were back to me by 6am. She is an incredibly hard worker, empathetic, and cares for her clients. She is available day and night without question.

Gavriella has a talent for helping to create your story in a way that makes you look like a rock star and helping to show you how you fit within in each program.

I promise, you will not go wrong using Gavriella. It has been the best decision I have made in my professional career thus far. My expectations were blown away and if you choose Gavriella, you will be accepted to the school of your dreams.

I first applied to B-schools back in 2020 to enroll in Fall 2021. However, my biggest mistake was focusing too much on perfecting my GMAT scores that I didn't put as much of an effort into my narrative. As I didn't get into my target school, I decided to reapply again for Fall 2022, while reassessing the strengths of each school.

As I was already familiar with the application process, I chose the hourly services with Gavriella from MBAMission. She was incredibly helpful in sharpening my narrative and ensuring that I get my point across. She is always open to answering my questions about the schools and her experience with her other clients. Overall, my MBA application process is less daunting - would definitely recommend!

I came into the whole MBA application process a little lost. Not sure how I stacked up or where I would fit in. There were some holes in my application, but Gavriella was amazing in helping show how they were as damaging as I thought and made sure I highlighted my strong points throughout my application. She helped me throughout the entire process, from school selection all the way to interview prep. And now looking back I cant imagine the applications would have gone without her. She was a wonderful person to have worked with during this stressful time. And if anyone is in need of help I cant recommend Gavriella more highly!

The service and support that Gavriella provided was more than I could’ve ever expected. From our first brainstorming session all the way to interview prep, she was incredibly involved, supportive, thorough, and helpful. Gavi helped me take all elements of my background and mold them into a cohesive and compelling story, which left me confident moving forward with all parts of the admissions process. Especially coming from a non-traditional undergraduate education as well as work experience, it was essential that my story made sense, and Gavriella helped me get there.

Gavriella was very responsive and always willing to hop on a call to talk through things as needed. I truly felt like she had my back and pushed me to put the work in so that I would have the best possible outcome. She is an amazing writer and storyteller and had immense knowledge on what goes into a successful application.

My favorite part about working with Gavriella was her optimism. There were times when I doubted my likelihood of admission due to certain weaknesses in my application and she always kept me moving forward and focusing on everything positive that I have to offer. The admissions process can be long, daunting, and discouraging – but working with Gavi kept me excited and confident about my prospects.

I feel truly thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Gavriella. I was admitted to three schools, all with large scholarships, and am so excited for my future!
