MBA and Beyond has a comprehensive nine-step approach that made the whole business school application process much easier for me. Following their steps helped me understand and manage each part of the application without feeling overwhelmed.

What I appreciate most about MBA and Beyond is the support and guidance you get from your consultant. I worked with Ashmita, and having unlimited time with her was a big advantage. She not only helped with the application details but also provided valuable advice on dealing with self-doubt and staying motivated. The time and effort Ashmita spent on each aspect of my application is truly commendable.

I owe a lot to Ashmita and the entire MBA and Beyond team for their role in my successful admission to Cambridge Judge Business School.

I am a part of the notorious ORM (Indian Engineer) and had a sub 740 gmat score. r/MBA would have me believe that it is all over and perhaps no top 15 school would have anything to do with my application. When I was considering MBA and Beyond, I was impressed by their track record of getting other ORM students with sub 740 gmat scores into top schools. As soon as I started working with them and I was assigned my consultant Tiger, I realized how good of a job he did to contextualize my score within a larger narrative. It gave me some confidence to apply to schools, which obviously Reddit would have me believe that I had no chance of. Having someone to pick my brains about my essays and trying to find out those unique differentiating factors which could help me shine in the admissions process was priceless. Working with Tiger was an absolute pleasure. He was a great mentor, sounding board and guide throughout the application process. I can say with absolutely no doubt that the depth my essays got after going through the whole process with Tiger, was significantly more than it would have been otherwise. He was also a great resource when it came to tips on networking, attending school events, and trying to engage with the schools in creative ways. My entire process with MBA and Beyond, from the resume edits, to the help in school selection process to the essay writing has been exemplary, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to everyone. (Also, don't take Reddit too seriously )

My experience with MBA&Beyond has been amazing. I got interview invite from 3 out of the 5 schools that I applied to. The best thing about MBAB is the unlimited time with consultants. This gave me a liberty to experiment with the essay stories as I've more time to make errors and get them corrected. Also with the frequent calls with the consultant I had to be consistent with the applications process. This eventually lead me to apply in R1 for all my target schools.
The whole 7-step process is beautifully designed. During content gathering, I explored my own profile and wrote stories that I never thought would reflect so many of my versatile traits.
I enjoyed the whole process of writing essays, preparing for the interviews and celebrating the small wins with the MBAB team.
I would definitely recommend MBAB as an admissions consultant.

I had the pleasure of working with Shantanu from MBA and Beyond, and I can confidently say that his guidance played a pivotal role in securing my admission to INSEAD. I reached out to MBA and Beyond in June 2021 through a friend's recommendation, and I cannot thank my stars enough that I got to work with such amazing people at MBA&B. From the very first profile evaluation call, the team showed genuine interest and confidence in my profile. Having heard so much about Shantanu I requested the team to assign him as my consultant. And thus, my journey started with the most amazing Shantanu Sharma. From the initial consultation to the final application submission to interview preparation, Shantanu demonstrated unparalleled expertise, dedication, and a genuine commitment to my success.

One of the best qualities of Shantanu is his highly personalized approach to every application. He not only spent great efforts in understanding my unique background, career goals, and aspirations but also went above and beyond to unravel my strengths and achievements, helping me articulate them effectively in my application essays and interviews. I vividly recall crafting a minimum of 10 drafts for each INSEAD essay, a testament to Shantanu's commitment to bringing out the best version of my narrative. His refusal to move on to the next essay until completely satisfied underscored his dedication.

During my interview preparation stage, Shantanu left no stones unturned in preparing me for the interviews and Mock exercises. I distinctly remember a moment of panic during my preparation stage when Shantanu, despite being on vacation, generously dedicated two hours to me, offering invaluable guidance and calming reassurance. His role transcended that of a consultant; Shantanu became a steadfast friend and guide throughout the entire process.

Furthermore, Shantanu's support extended beyond the application itself. He offered valuable insights into the culture and values of INSEAD, enabling me to align my application with the school's ethos. This holistic approach not only enhanced my chances of admission but also contributed to my overall readiness for the INSEAD experience. On receiving INSEAD’s acceptance call, Shantanu was the first person I contacted to share the joyful news. His significance in my MBA journey and the profound impact he has created in my life is truly immeasurable.

In summary, my experience with Shantanu was transformative. His personalized guidance, unparalleled dedication, and genuine support were instrumental in navigating the competitive admissions journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Shantanu and the MBA and Beyond team to anyone seeking an exceptional and personalized MBA admissions consulting experience.

As a military veteran, I was overconfident of my chances with a fairly decent GMAT score, however, a rejection from an elite school in Europe at the beginning of this year made me reassess my profile. MBA&Beyond was suggested to me by a fellow veteran and it has helped me in converting my failure to an admit at my dream school.
I was mapped with Dr Vinita Singh based on my choice as she had already helped candidates with similar profiles as me in getting into their dream schools. The thoroughly streamlined procedures at MBA&Beyond, starting from content gathering, drafting essays, creating frameworks for recommendations, mock interviews to even connecting with alums of the schools one is applying to put me at ease from the very beginning. Dr Vinita provided invaluable advice, insights and course corrections whenever it was sought by me, be it any time of the week or the weekend and at times late into the night. Even the last-minute finer aspects of the application were handled by her with thorough professionalism. Her extensive experience helped me introspect and identify my own strengths and weaknesses with a unique perspective. Dr Vinita has been more than a consultant in my journey, she celebrated my successes like her own and is undoubtedly the ideal mentor anyone can ask for.
At the end of the drafting process, MBA&Beyond even provided me with networking opportunities with alums of schools I was applying to, who gave me unique insights into the relevant program and post-MBA career opportunities.
I would highly recommend MBA&Beyond to anyone seeking to pursue their MBA Journey. Lastly, a few important aspects for aspirants, start as early as possible to give yourself time to work on each application diligently, and most importantly, expecting outsourcing of all the heavy lifting would be a folly so be prepared to put in hard work into the application.

I had a phenomenal experience working with MBA and Beyond, and I'm thrilled to leave a 5-star review. I opted for the 5 school package and applied to 2 schools in round 1. Despite having a GRE score of 316, Kastur, my consultant, worked magic with my application.

Kastur helped me pick the most compelling stories from my life and meticulously tailored my narrative for each school. The result? I received interview invites from both schools, one of which is a high-ranking M7 institution, and the other is a T15 school. Moreover, I already hold an admit from one of them with the potential of a 100% scholarship. It's incredible!

Throughout the process, I thoroughly enjoyed working with MBA and Beyond. Kastur made it stress-free and was exceptionally helpful. He not only met but exceeded my expectations. I am more than happy to recommend them. Their greatest strength lies in their ability to unlock your potential and present your story in the most compelling way. As for their weakest skill, I honestly couldn't find any.

I'm eagerly looking forward to collaborating with MBA and Beyond for round 2 as I take the moonshot. If you're considering an admissions consultant, MBA and Beyond is the way to go. They make the impossible possible.

Thank you to the entire team and especially to Kastur for making my dreams come true!
