Product Fortuna Admissions Hourly Consulting Services
Consultant Michael Malone
If anyone is considering applying to business school, they need to work with Michael Malone. I was a reapplicant and was lost on how to change my application and put my best foot foward. Even though I signed up for hourly services, Michael went above and beyond and provided a level of care that showed that he was truly in it to help me. He took me under his wing and revamped my essays and overall application, helped me address any concerns and gaps I felt I still had, and supported me outside of our hourly sessions. I was fortunately enough to get admitted to my #1 M7 school and I don't know if I could've done it without him.

Incredible Interview Prep For Columbia Business School
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
Product Fortuna Admissions MBA Interview Preparation
Consultant Michael Malone
I worked with Michael to prep for my Columbia Business School admissions interview and my experience was amazing! He was incredibly well versed in all things CBS having spent 13 years working there. He gave me incredibly actionable advice to improve my presentation and strategy. By practicing with him I was able to tighten up my professional narrative and be more deferential to the interviewer’s line of questioning, instead of spending too much time on each question. I cannot imagine a better consultant to help students prep for admission to CBS. I'm thrilled to report that I will be a member of Columbia Business School's class of 2022 and I couldn't have done it without Michael's help.
