Strengths:

Detail Oriented, Time bound feedback, Great Insights, Worth It

I got accepted to Ross MBA program. Ross was the only school I was applying to so I took the hourly package and bought 5 hours. I initially chatted with Michael and felt connected to him and decided to go with him. He gave very detailed feedback on my essays and resumes which forced me to think in new ways I hadn't had thought of. Michael went above and beyond in providing me with quality feedback and I saw a day and night difference in first and the final draft of my essays and resume. Michael setup me up for success before I submitted my application and then did a mock interview once I received the invite. Michael took the time to prepare potential questions for me and provided excellent feedback during the mock interview. All in all, Michael was a great resource and I highly recommend him, especially for Ross (he went to Ross himself)!!

Strengths:

Provides a personalized schedule, school-specific insights and interview preparation

Would make the product better:

Although I have enjoyed using this product and have found it extremely useful, I believe the interface could be made more user friendly. The product provides a customized schedule of modules based on an initial assessment. However, goals and schools are bound to shift during the application journey. It would be beneficial to have a way to subtract or add modules into the schedule. While it does allow access to modules separately, integrating this flexibility into the main schedule would make it more user friendly.

OnTrack offers detailed insights into most top schools, but expanding its database to include more schools with complete information would make it even more comprehensive.

OnTrack has truly been a one stop-shop for everything I needed to complete MBA applications. It provides a tailor-made schedule of modules based on an initial assessment. Simply completing the modules alone gave me enough insight to tackle multiple applications confidently. Since I signed up late, I was short on time and had to be selective with which modules I focused on. I would recommend signing up as early as possible to take advantage of all the content.

One of the more challenging parts of the MBA application is researching the different schools. OnTrack does a great job of covering the basics and essentials of most schools. This was a huge time-saver and gave me a solid foundation before diving into my own research.

OnTrack also provides modules on essay writing and resume preparation, including examples that help you navigate these challenging aspects of an application. I especially loved the interview prep modules. They offer an interface with a repository of school-specific interview questions, where you can record yourself answering them. Watching these recordings back helped me spot and improve any habits I didn’t realize I had. There’s no limit to how many times you can practice, which is perfect for prepping. They also provide specific questions to help you get ready for the video assessments required by some schools.

Overall, I feel OnTrack is an excellent investment for anyone working on their MBA applications. It is comprehensive and gives you a strong structure to work with.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!
