Strengths:

They had enough resources such as sample essays to help me understand what does a successful essay look like. And for interview prep, I was able to do mock interviews with not just my consultant, but also someone from the school's alumni which was very helpful in getting the school specific feedback.

Would make the product better:

It would be helpful to provide more structured resources on selecting preferred schools. A more in-depth analysis or dedicated session with a team member to discuss each school's strengths and how they align with my profile would have been useful.

Working with Neil on my MBA applications was a great experience. From the start, he helped me research schools and build the right mix of dream and safe options. While essay content often overlaps across applications, he provided sharp guidance on how to tailor each one to highlight my fit with the school. His interview prep was just as valuable, and the mock interview with an alum from one of my top schools gave me school-specific feedback that was a game changer. The process was flexible, and thanks to the MB&B team, I secured admits from two of my top three choices!

The MBA consulting service provided clear, structured guidance, personalized feedback, and strategic insights that significantly strengthened my application.

More interactive sessions and industry-specific insights could further enhance the experience, especially for candidates targeting niche career paths.

The consultants were knowledgeable, supportive, and provided valuable insights that made my application stand out. Their strategic advice aligned well with my career goals, ensuring my story was compelling and well-articulated.

Despite the time crunch, Shantanu spent several hours with me to understand my background and personality.

I joined MBA and Beyond towards the end of June with a clear intention of applying for schools outside India. After a few conversations with the team, consultant mapping and filling the intriguing self-introspecting questions as a part of the process, I had a call with Paridhi and she helped me pick my top 3 schools based on my strengths and career goals.

Shakshi and Kushalta from the team have been instantly available from the team whenever I would need help to connect with an alum, to fill up long applications or to schedule my mock interviews.

Lastly, I can't thank Rajat, my consultant, enough for being extremely patient and supportive throughout the process. Sometimes it was difficult to catch hold of his time but whenever we would be on call he ensured that we have the max productivity and are able to close all agendas for the call. Within a few interactions he could understand my profile and gave me a clear direction on where I need to think more to come up with better stories for the essays.

The MBA application journey is a roller coaster ride, both mentally and emotionally, and I wouldn't have been able to come up with flying colors if it weren't for the consistent support from Rajat, Paridhi and Shakshi.

MBA&Beyond was spectacular. They took the time to really learn my story to be able to properly develop my profile and strategy. They made it a point to be available at short notice to help refine/finesse my essays, answer my questions, and prep for interviews. My consultant had a great, positive attitude that helped keep me motivated throughout the entirety of this daunting process. Of the 3 schools I applied to using MBA&Beyond as a consultant, I was accepted to all 3 - 100% success rate (t15 & t20 schools). I received 50% scholarship at two schools and a 90% scholarship at the third. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I give MBA&Beyond 5/5 stars for their service.
I would highly recommend MBA&Beyond for anyone who is trying to break into an elite MBA program.

I had enrolled with MBA&Beyond for a second review of my application, since I was already working with another consultant full time.
After a few initial hiccups, I shared my first draft of CV and essays with them and we had our first call.
The good part was that despite knowing that the work was already seen by another consultant, Harshul did not take any shortcuts. He was thorough with his work and gave in depth review points before our first call itself. Discussing these points and getting to know me was done on our first call. We did 2 rounds of reviews and he made me understand looking at the application from a bird's eye view.

I also spoke to him before my interview call and he was forthcoming even with advice related to post MBA options and location that I can consider.

It was a good experience overall and I'd recommend it.
