onTrack - Brilliant!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Strengths:

easy of access, interface, content

I have thoroughly enjoyed using onTrack - the interface is very clean and the content is thorough and tailored to each school. I appreciate that along with the videos are documents to help brainstorm and pinpoint what each school is looking for. onTrack also works really well on mobile which is unique to other on-demand MBA app prep services. This is a small price to pay when you think about the value that you are getting out of the comprehensive and well-organized information that Jeremy and the team have put together. Highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a service that will make you as ready as possible in your candidacy to a top MBA program!

Exceptional experience with Krista Nannery

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Strengths:

Truly felt that Krista was personally invested in my success. She took the time to understand my unique background and my story which made the process feel more tailored.
She was also very responsive and I never had to wait long for feedback.
The support and feedback she provided made me feel more comfortable and confident with my application.

Would make the product better:

Everything was amazing and what I asked for. From the start when we started working on the essays and resume until the mock interview and the tedious questions I asked throughout the process.

Working with Krista was an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. The personal attention, quick feedback and support throughout the whole application process made me confident to submit my application and interview. Her professionalism coupled with her friendly personality made the experience easy and enjoyable. She was straightforward about what was unnecessary and what needed fixing, without worrying about sugarcoating—something I really appreciated.
Thanks to her I submitted my application and interviewed with confidence and I am thrilled to say I got into my target MBA program Darden! I highly recommend Krista to anyone looking for expert, personalized support throughout their application journey.

Rachel Got Me Into My Dream School, CBS

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Working with Rachel through MBA.com was the best decision I’ve made! I genuinely don’t know if I would have gotten into Columbia Business School without her help. From our very first consulting session, I quickly realized that her expertise in CBS admissions and essay crafting would be crucial for my application success.

The entire process was incredibly organized, and Rachel truly helped me define my post-MBA goals and present them effectively. Initially, I started working with Rachel after I had already written all my essays. To be honest, I didn’t think I needed her at the beginning because I felt confident in my work. Also, the price made me hesitate—is it really worth it? But Rachel helped me transform my essays from good to outstanding.

What sets Rachel apart is how fast she works, how clearly she communicates, and the way she consistently goes the extra mile—even scheduling meetings on Sundays. But beyond her professionalism, it was her personal engagement that truly stood out. My interview-to-acceptance period took longer than usual, about five weeks, which was filled with uncertainty. During this time, Rachel supported me beyond what I expected, frequently checking in on me, even though her official role ended once my application was submitted.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel to anyone! With her guidance, getting accepted is absolutely achievable!

Susan McInerny

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

After doing several free consultation interviews, I chose to work with Susan who is extremely knowledgeable. She was amazing to meet, had the best insights and went above and beyond to understand my unique situation and provide advice that was best tailored to help me achieve my goals. She was also able to be flexible as I decided what I wanted to do, I couldn't have been happier with my experience and highly recommend working with her if you get the chance. Quick and efficient communication, perfect for a working professional, she always had the most recent and best information as well.

Direct, thoughtful, and efficient -- highly recommend!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

It was amazing working with Harshad with mbaMission and well worth the effort and resources. I came to him with a seemingly impossible task of a week turnaround time for an application, start to finish, but he was more than up to the challenge and approached each step of supporting me with brainstorming, essay strengthening, resume revision, and interview preparation with clear, concise, relevant, comprehensive, and manageable steps. He was direct and upfront with telling me I had good content but needed a lot of work to present it in a much clearer way and that aligned more in what the schools are looking for. He provided a good balance of a challenge to work hard to strengthen my application in very applicable and tangible ways while keep me moving forward at a pace necessary to reach the deadline. His direct and to the point guidance on where to put my effort, thoughtful feedback, and structure in the calls and emails were clear about what was well done and what needed work. He invited me to guide his support for where I most wanted to focus on. Through his support in overhauling and strengthening my application, it led me to being accepted at my top school.

Amazing thought partner and MBA coach

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

With Kate’s support, I applied to and was accepted into both Kellogg's and Booth's part-time MBA programs. Her guidance played a crucial role in shaping my story in the most compelling way possible. Despite a tight deadline and a demanding job, she kept me on track with her quick responses and clear, actionable feedback, which I highly valued.

Preparing for MBA interviews is especially challenging, and this is where Kate’s support made a significant difference. We ran through several mock interviews and prep sessions, which helped me stay calm and collected, allowing me to answer questions systematically.

After I received my acceptance, Kate’s insights and advice guided me through the tough decision between the two schools.

Overall, my experience working with Kate exceeded my expectations. Her expertise, commitment to my success, and outstanding support made all the difference. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to maximize their chances of getting into their top-choice MBA programs.

Thank you, Debbie! Most amazing consultant out there!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by gmat club tests [?]

After being denied by the full time MBA programs at Columbia Business School and McCombs Business School, I reached out to Debbie based on the recommendation of another reapplicant at CBS. Debbie took careful time to understand my very unique situation thoroughly and was incredibly empathetic. She helped me write truly differentiating reapplicant essays. Ten days after submitting my reapplication to CBS, I was offered admission. I honestly believe it was Debbie's thoughtful and dedicated effort that got me over the hump and admitted to my first choice in b school, despite average test scored and a below average undergrad GPA. I worked with other MBA consultants during my initial application and Debbie outmatched them in every way. From her attention to detail, to her quick turnaround to answer obvious questions, to her top-tier edits on my essays, I never felt like I wasn't getting every bit of care and assistance I felt I needed. Debbie will always be the first word out of my mouth if anyone ever asks me how to get into business school. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Debbie!!!!

Clear, direct, and thoughtful!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

By the time I met with Harshad, I had applied to 4 different schools, with fairly dismal results (3 rejections, 1 waitlist). While I thought I had a fairly good story, Harshad clearly spotted areas that could have been perceived as "weak" on my application and other areas that needed to be either fleshed out more or highlighted. When tackling my weaker areas, he always kept a can-do attitude and continuously encouraged me through the application. When stumped over an essay point, Harshad got me on a call and we worked through the essay prompt and brainstormed ideas for me to use!

Harshad was never afraid to tell me what he really thought, and I appreciated that immensely, even when I had to choose between the better-fit school and my dream city. Ultimately ended up in a T10 school, which turned out to be the right school for me, with so much thanks for Harshad!

Best decision! Highly recommend! - M7 admit

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

As a reapplicant, I knew I needed to take a different approach, and Harshad was instrumental in helping me achieve that. He worked closely with me to refine my story, identifying the key aspects of my life that would resonate with admissions committees. His insight into crafting a clear R1 and R2 strategy was invaluable.

Despite my struggles with the GMAT, Harshad never wavered in his belief that I could meet my target schools' requirements. His unwavering support kept me motivated. Ultimately, I was accepted into both Kellogg and Wharton.

Harshad's true strength lies in his deep understanding of the essay prompts. He has a unique ability to break them down and reveal what the schools are really looking for. This insight allowed me to answer each question with precision and focus, tailored specifically to each school.

Beyond his expertise, Harshad is a pleasure to work with. He makes the process smoother and less stressful, truly making your life easier and constantly motivating you. I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant to guide me through this journey.

Best decision ever to work with Gavriella!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Getting into a top MBA program has always been a dream for me and definitely could not have achieved it without Gavriella.
At first I really did not know much what to expect going into the admissions process with a consultant.
I was afraid they would not be able to completely understand me, my story, goals, strengths, weaknesses, reasons for taking certain decisions, etc.

Gavriella did an enormous effort in really getting to know me through discussion of a 20+ page document that asked all about me and later on kept discussing for hours and hours.
I genuinely felt she wanted to help me achieve my goals, not what was easier, not what would look better, but what really aligned to my goals.

In discussing my options on where to apply she was extremely instrumental in maintaining my hopes and motivation high, while at the same time being realistic with me during the entire process.

To me, what I valued and appreciated the most, was that during the entire timeline, she kept me aware of main deadlines, laid out the entire process clearly, guided me through each step and pushed me when it was more necessary.

At a moment, I felt Gavriella knew me even more than I knew myself, and identified which were my best stories and what differentiated me the most from other candidates.

When giving suggestions and ideas, and telling me what I should or shouldn’t do, she was always very respectful and made sure to hear me out beforehand.

I enjoyed tremendously working with Gavriella, I was really impressed by how much I was looking forward to each meeting with her and contributed to getting me excited about my MBA applications.

I was impressed by her work ethic, her responsibility and the impeccable attention she gave to me, answering emails at midnight, on weekends, etc.

I genuinely felt Gavriella cared about my application process in a deeper way than just as a customer, she was always very cordial and kind and really made a difference in what can become a really stressful process.
