Amazing Experience! Strongly recommended for B-school applicants

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I would strongly recommend availing MBA&Beyond's services to the applicants.

MBA&Beyond's consultants are extremely knowledgable and majority have been through the application process themselves. This is quite helpful as the application process is a strenuous journey.

Kishan (my consultant) helped me with everything from school shortlisting, to refining my essays, interview preparation, etc. He was with me every step of the way and always made time for my queries.

MBA&Beyond's application process not only helped me with my B-school applications, but it also helped me introspect and understand myself better while assessing my strengths, weaknesses, and professional/personal goals.

Lastly, the competitive pricing makes the return on investment even better compared to other players in the market.

My Journey with MBA and Beyond

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kishan Navale and the team at MBA and Beyond, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the initial brainstorming sessions to the final application submissions, every step of the way was marked by professionalism, dedication, and support. Throughout my application journey, several key aspects of their service truly stood out, making my application process smooth and impactful.

One aspect that truly stood out to me was Kishan's dedication to spending sincere time with me during the brainstorming and application process. He took the time to understand my background, goals, and aspirations, ensuring that my application reflected my unique story and strengths. Moreover, the flexibility of timings offered by MBA and Beyond made the process convenient and stress-free. Despite my busy schedule, Kishan and his team were always accommodating and made themselves available whenever I needed assistance or guidance.

The user-friendly web portal provided by MBA and Beyond was another standout feature. It offered a wealth of resources to keep me on track and informed throughout the application journey, from essay prompts to interview tips. This comprehensive support system was incredibly helpful and kept me organized every step of the way. Despite offering top-notch services, MBA and Beyond's packages are surprisingly economical. Their pricing structure meant that I never felt like I was overspending for the quality of service I received.

Additionally, the review process carried out by the team of senior consultants at MBA and Beyond provided invaluable insights and feedback to fine-tune my application. Kishan and the team's expertise and attention to detail undoubtedly played a significant role in securing admits from Rice Jones with a USD 60k Scholarship and Rotman with a CAD 15k Scholarship, along with waitlists at prestigious schools such as Fuqua, UNC, Tepper, McCombs, and McDonough. Eventually, with Kishan’s assistance, I was able to transition from my waitlists at UNC and McDonough through a tailored waitlist strategy for each school.

As someone from a large and overrepresented pool of candidates, I often felt discouraged to aim high. However, Kishan and his team instilled confidence in me, encouraging me to choose realistic dream schools that aligned with my fit, goals, and chances of admission. Their exhaustive database and personalized guidance helped me navigate the selection process with ease, and they even facilitated connections with admitted students to provide further insights into the MBA experience.

I must also extend a special mention to Rahat, my application manager, whose support and prompt responses to my queries were invaluable throughout the process.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend MBA and Beyond, especially Kishan Navale, to anyone embarking on their MBA application journey. Their dedication, expertise, and personalized approach make them a standout choice for prospective MBA students seeking guidance and support to navigate the cumbersome MBA application process. Bagging four admits in a cycle that saw an upsurge of 25% in application volume definitely made my money’s worth!

The people who believe in your dreams & make them come true

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Kishan worked with me on my selected collage the last few days from the deadline. Anyone who approached a consultant would know how difficult it is for a consultant to work in such a short time frame and that alone speaks of the passion Kishan has for helping others. Kishan promptly responded to any of my queries and made time to go through my essays with me over videocalls and gave me valuable suggestions that took my essays to the next level.

You need someone to believe in your story and your goals and help you make your passion shine when applying for b-schools, and that is what the MBA & Beyond team did rather than try to fit me in a mold where every box has to be checked. Kishan made me feel hopeful that I ouldl get into my dream schools when I was concerned with the approaching deadlines.

I was able to go through the deeply emotional journey that MBA applications tend to have on people with ease because of the guidance I could get from the team at MBA & Beyond. I got into my choice school because of the combined efforts of everyone at MBA & Beyond, who not only listened to my story and provided me input right from the free profile evaluation call but also made every effort to make students dream of an MBA come.
