If you're reading this review, congratulations on reaching the end of your MBA consultant search! No need to look any further.

(Spoiler: I got into two M7's, one of which was my top choice.)

Working with Rachel was one of the easiest and best decisions I made throughout my application process. She is an admissions guru who brings a one-of-a-kind personal touch to every single client interaction.

Yes, she knows the process and schools like the back of her hand. Duh. But she also provides the intangibles that can make or break an application process: she is consistently warm, encouraging, responsive, honest, thoughtful, and patient.

I came to Rachel with a liberal arts degree, non-traditional job, and "side career" as an artist. Rachel was by my side from day 1, helping me dig deep for the goals, motivations, and stories that would ultimately shape the strongest, most unapologetically authentic applications I could have possibly written. Fast forward to this Fall: I'll be attending my top choice M7 school.

I'm a writer at heart, and even I can't come up with the words to describe how highly I'd recommend Rachel.

Rachel helped tremendously in the brainstorm process. I had many ideas, and thought all of them were great but hard to choose one from. Rachel helped me see the bigger picture that really encompassed everything I wanted to share about myself. That was a huge unlock, and I resonated with her immediately when she brought up her idea. Then she would put tremendous amount of time helping fix the essay word by word while still keeping my tone. She is also very responsive whenever I need her help. I particularly loved her way of preparing me for the interviews. She made the whole process easy and helped me understand the key for those interviews.

Rachel is wonderful and the most helpful consultant you could ask for! She is so thoughtful and communicative. I didn’t have a very clear, straightforward story ahead of applying and she was immensely helpful in distilling all my experiences down to a cohesive story on my application. Whether or not you have an obvious reason to be going to get your MBA, Rachel would be a great person to work with. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with her and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! It all culminated in me getting into all 5 of my top choices, and got a scholarship from my top top choice as well. 10/10 recommend!

I worked with Rachel on the 3 school package: Wharton, Booth, and CBS. I wanted to start out saying the outcomes went beyond my expectations. I wouldn’t be able to receive all the offers without Rachel’s input. I don’t have a clean and straightforward background and thought those are all biggest ding points. Rachel stepped in to comb through my story and helped build a strong narrative for me - collecting all my shiny points. Her brainstorming session is so powerful. She has the best intention for me and is a great resource on all things considered, and time and time again went above and beyond to help me. On top of that, her previous background in journalism has made my essays so much stronger. I’m always caught up in awe about the power of language upon receiving her edits. Her turnaround time is quick! She is my mentor and coach, I’m so thrilled to have chosen working with her and strongly recommend her!

Rachel Beck was a fantastic mentor, guide and coach throughout the MBA application journey. It took just a few minutes into my free consultation to realize that working with Rachel would be the best way to help me navigate through the complexity of the application process. Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable about all of my target schools and gave me tailored advice throughout the brainstorming and writing stages. But, perhaps most importantly, Rachel was there as my cheerleader from the beginning to the end. She was always available to speak, and she consistently came prepared with innovative ideas to make my application shine. By the end, Rachel felt more like a good friend, than a business school coach, and I look forward to staying in touch! I can't imagine going through this process without her.

Using MBA Mission and specifically working with Rachel Beck was the best decision I made during my MBA admissions process. There are so many different ways of approaching the applications. Rachel took the time to understand my story, my strengths, and my weaknesses to direct me in a way that I would not have been able to do on my own. She went above and beyond -- answering calls and emails at all times of day. I never felt like she was using a one size fits all approach. Each conversation and piece of advice she gave felt so tailored and specific to me, which allowed me to put together a really unique application at each school. I would recommend Rachel time and time again!!

From the moment I spoke to Rachel, I was convinced that she was the counselor for me. After having engaged many MBA consultants from a diverse array of companies, I was left disappointed and discouraged. In the short 30-minute calls or 1-hour free consultation service offered by other companies, I received countless lectures from different consultants who rambled about their “impressive credentials” or “track-record”. But, none were truly interested or cared enough in hearing about my candidacy and my struggles as a reapplicant. However, what made Rachel different from the rest was that she actually listened to my story and, during our introductory call, Rachel willingly offered valuable advice on how I can strengthen my application to my dream school—Columbia Business School (CBS). A perfect fit. She was direct yet encouraging. She helped me to see my strengths in a new light and provided me with the tailored strategies I needed to craft a compelling application—one that eventually led me to success. It was the beginning of a productive and sincere partnership.

Rachel was instrumental in every segment of the application process. Day one, Rachel reached out with well-organized and informative materials that broke down the daunting application process into manageable pieces. Brainstorming documents, resume templates, and the list goes on. It was apparent to me from working with Rachel that she takes the time to get to know her clients, understand their unique background and goals. She helped me structure and refine an authentic essay that I was proud of. Rachel was meticulous and went above and beyond in reviewing my application materials, providing detailed constructive feedback. When my interview invite came around, Rachel knew exactly what questions would be asked and prepared me well for my “break it or make it” moment on CBS’s Super Saturday. Because she prepared me to a T, I was unwaveringly confident and truly believed that I belonged at CBS throughout my interview. All in all, Rachel gave me the tools I needed to turn my dream (CBS) into reality. What I was most grateful for, and what meant to me most was that she also helped my husband gain admittance into CBS in the same year! Keeping our family together in the same vicinity.

THANK YOU RACHEL!

After interviewing countless MBA consultants, I knew Rachel was the right fit immediately. Thankfully, my gut was correct as she ensured I got into my dream Business school - wharton.

Being an untraditional candidate, I was desperately seeking help on how to craft my background into an appealing story for admissions. Through my brainstorming document, Rachel expertly wove together my experiences into an attractive business school package — extricating finance, marketing, and leadership skills I could not have recognized myself.

Rachel’s background as an MBA herself, an alumni admissions interviewer, and a journalist is the triple threat that makes her the best MBA consultant. She requires hard work from her clients and pushes them to the next level by offering unhindered, sometimes tough to hear, feedback. In my time working with her, I could sense her complete passion for my process that served as my guiding light.

It was a pleasure working with Rachel and I couldn’t recommend her services more highly.

I found Rachel through a friend of mine that used her services in the past. I had heard such great things so I decided to meet with her and I felt that she would be able to help me reach my goal of getting into business school. I was right; Rachel helped me get into 3 out of the 4 schools I applied to, including my dream school!

I was terrified to start the application process but Rachel made it so much easier and helped make sure I made the deadlines. I was really struggling with the GMAT and her suggestion to take the Executive Assessment was a real game changer. She also really took the time to get to know me and help me craft a compelling story for my applications. It was great to know that I could reach out to Rachel with any questions or concerns I had during this stressful time and she was always quick to answer and put my worries at ease. The mock interviews we did were so helpful and made me feel prepared going into my actual interviews.

When I told Rachel about my acceptances, she was as excited as I was! She is so knowledgeable about the admissions process and is such a genuine person. I am so grateful for her help and I would recommend her to anyone looking to apply to an MBA program!
