Got admitted to Duke Fuqua!

I knew Debbie was the right consultant for me during the initial consultation. In 30 minutes, Debbie was able to quickly assess my profile and accurately point out how I could highlight my strengths in my application. Her insights and instincts are on point. I purchased the hourly service and each hour was well spent with her giving constructive feedback to the papers that I wanted her to review. Debbie provided great suggestions for my career goal and really helped me highlight the uniqueness in my applications. She really set the foundation for my successful admission - I highly recommend Debbie!!

Nisha is a Rockstar!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I cannot recommend Nisha enough! I came into the MBA application process feeling overwhelmed and lacking structure. From the moment I connected with Nisha, I knew I made the right choice. Her inviting personality and optimism made this process a lot less daunting. I was grateful for all the upfront brainstorming and collaboration Nisha partnered with me on that helpful shape my story. From reviewing essays to answering one-off questions, Nisha was there for me at every step of the process. I truly would not have been accepted to my top choice program if it was not for her support. If you are considering a MBA consultant, look no further – Nisha is a rockstar!

Glad I worked with Harold this year!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

As a re-applicant, I am glad that I chose to work with Harold Simansky from MBAmission this year. Compared to the consultant I worked with from another boutique shop last year, Harold definitely surpassed my expectations and gave my school applications a 360 turn. First of all, Harold has tremendous experience to offer and knows how to put together a compelling personal package for different schools. For example, the brainstorming session with him always gave me a new angle, idea or inspiration as to how to improve my essays. Another thing I appreciate is that he is personally invested in my case. While typical turnaround time for a consultant is 2 business days, Harold does not care that much at all. He would get back to me asap and even work on weekends if the situation was urgent. His dedication is on a different level, which I truly appreciate! Overall, I enjoyed working with Harold for his undivided attention, invaluable coaching and mental support. He is definitely one of the best!

1000% recommend Jen!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

I met Jen through the free initial consulting session and right off the bat, she was extremely organized and set out a plan for me to follow. She was extremely intelligent and understanding of my previous professional career. I had my doubts about potential weaknesses in my resume and professional story, but Jen was extremely supportive and assured me that I had the necessary qualities to be a strong candidate for my top MBA schools. She was prompt and supportive and also the nicest person to work with. I had an absolute blast working with her. I would not have been able to get into my dream schools without her help! I would highly recommend working with Jen! You will not be disappointed!

Highly Recommend Julie-Anne's Services!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I had the pleasure of working with Julie-Anne as my MBA admissions consultant, and I can confidently say that her guidance and expertise were instrumental in shaping my successful application journey. As someone deeply entrenched in the world of Private Equity, with a GMAT score hovering around the M7 median, I knew that standing out was crucial in the fiercely competitive landscape.

Julie-Anne's keen insight into the nuances of MBA admissions was evident from the start. With her expert guidance, I was able to strategically accentuate the most captivating facets of my application, which not only complemented my scores but also highlighted my unique qualities. Her adeptness during the brainstorming phase was a game-changer. She skillfully prodded me to delve deeper into my experiences, bringing out the more inventive and creative aspects of my essays.

One standout area was Julie-Anne's adept assistance in shaping my "Why MBA" essays. Crafting a compelling narrative about my career roadmap was a challenge I initially faced. Julie-Anne's thoughtful guidance and astute feedback helped me paint a vivid picture of my aspirations, tying them seamlessly to the MBA program's offerings.

Without Julie-Anne's meticulous support, I am certain I wouldn't have achieved such a remarkable outcome. Her ability to dissect my experiences and weave them into a captivating story for the admissions committee was unparalleled. Thanks to her, I secured a spot at my dream business school.

In a sea of MBA admissions consultants, Julie-Anne truly stands out. Her strategic insights, creative essay coaching, and dedication to her clients' success are a testament to her exceptional skills. For anyone seeking not just an admissions consultant, but a genuine partner in their MBA application journey, Julie-Anne comes highly recommended.

Detailed, Patient and Thorough - would definitely recommend!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I met Jen during the free counseling call that MBAMission provided and immediately felt that she cared and genuinely wanted to help me get into the best business school I wanted. After my GMAT, I had to fill in a long brainstorming document going through every detail of my life, and we had a call to discuss which aspects would be most relevant to my application. Jen was very creative in finding strengths in me that I did not think of as strengths, but those that would be valued in B-school.

I had initially wanted to apply to the top 15 US schools, but suddenly changed my mind in the middle of the process and decided only to apply to European schools. Jen did not miss a beat and immediately was able to give me recommendations on school choice, deadlines, and the timeline by which I should aim to finish every aspect of each school's deadline. Even when I missed some of her timeline recommendations, she adjusted her approach to suit me. Her detailed emails and advice helped me stay on track and submit applications to 5 European schools in Round 1, from which I got admits into two top European B-schools.

I truly believe that my application was made much better because of all her advice and that she made a decisive difference in my acceptance chances. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a consultant who can identify your own unique strengths and make them shine in your application.

Jessica's Support is Priceless

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

As I am going to apply for the Stanford MSx program, I have been looking for many different materials about the MSx application process and I have met Jessica Shklar's discussion on Gmat Club, How to Fill out Stanford GSB MBA Application on Youtube.
Her explanation and insights were truly remarkable. I particularly appreciated the essay part, as it shed light on many specific details. Detailed instructions for all essays, with specific details - what to avoid, and what to pay attention to. Afterward, I contacted her and her consultation was a real game-changer. Thanks to Jessica, I managed to orientate myself in the application process.

Patient, structured and invaluable experience

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I worked with Jen on a one-school application to London-based business schools, with a view that I could add an application for a second school should my first preference be unsuccessful.

I found Jen to be an extremely valuable ally to have in my corner. Not only was her understanding of the process and application demands a huge leg up, she also provided a sense of structure which helped my meet my deadlines.

Jen helped me develop and focus in on my strengths and clarify my objectives (both for the program and post). Her ability to condense my drafts into a format where every sentence had impact was brilliant and, I feel, something that would have been difficult to achieve without the kind of experience that she brings to the table.

Thank you, John!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with John. I purchased a three-school Start-to-Finish Package, and John helped me successfully secure a spot at a top 15 program despite a weak GMAT score.

John was able to guide me through a structured application process that took the stress out of navigating it on my own. This allowed me to stay organized and confident throughout the journey. One of the highlights of my collaboration with John was the insightful brainstorming session and his continued effort to get to know me personally. Through this collaboration, John was able to help me develop a compelling story for me to use in my essays. He was able to uncover and help me present my unique experiences, strengths, and aspirations in a compelling way. In addition, John is a flat-out amazing writer and was able to provide suggestions on how to make my essays pop.

The other key value-add that John was able to bring to the table was his deep knowledge of each of the programs that I was applying for. He gave me direction on how to write my essays for each school that would resonate the strongest with the adcom.

I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone pursuing admission to a top MBA program.
