The Red Pen Consulting team is very knowledgeable! They have dedicated personnel for each aspect of your application. They guide you throughout the process with crafting essays, resume and application forms. I'd certainly recommend for your MBA admissions.
The process started with screening schools and profile. Once the schools were finalized, my lead consultant, Shyam, started working with me on the essays. They ask you to fill a document, which helps bring out your stories, accomplishments and shortcomings, which can be used for building the essays.
There were regular webinars educating me about the entire process. Once I received my interview call, they even conducted mock interviews to help me prepare for the actual stuff.
They are very flexible and will work around your time zone and schedule. I used The Red Pen to apply to 3 schools. I was able to secure an admit to 2 of 3 of my dream schools, one with a scholarship!

I had a great experience with TRP who played a crucial role in my acceptance into my first-choice MBA program.
Initially, I spoke with Natasha, whose guidance immediately stood out. Unlike other consulting firms that insisted I needed a higher GRE score, Natasha reassured me and provided actionable insights on strengthening my profile in other impactful ways. This approach convinced me to choose TRP.
I worked closely with Shyam, my lead consultant and Manan, my Letter of Recommendation consultant, both of whom were excellent. Shyam was incredibly skilled at brainstorming compelling stories from my background and provided me with a clear framework to structure my essays effectively. He was always available to chat which I found impressive, especially given the significant time difference.
Manan assisted me greatly with my letters of recommendation. His guidance on selecting and shaping stories aligned perfectly with what admissions committees seek. Notably, when one of my recommenders unexpectedly dropped out just days before the deadline, Manan quickly helped me secure and develop a strong third recommendation. I really appreciated his patience and kindness throughout this process.
Finally, Anju conducted my mock interview, offering valuable feedback that highlighted areas where my responses could improve and helped me convey my enthusiasm for the school more effectively.
I opted for a single-school package, but the comprehensive support I received from TRP significantly eased the process for my other MBA applications as well. Overall, my experience with TRP was exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services. I really enjoyed working with the entire team who was assigned to me.
