Kim was extremely helpful throughout the entire application process. From her detailed reviews on all materials, to quick turnaround times, to navigating the interview process, and many other things, Kim always went above and beyond. Kim even volunteered numerous times to meet outside of our scheduled time. In addition, Kim was proactive throughout the entire process. She would be thinking multiple steps ahead, always thinking about the next thing to do in addition to what we were working on. Without Kim’s efforts, I wouldn’t have had all the success I was fortunate to have. I truly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a consultant. Keep up the great work, Kim!

I reached out to mbaMission quite late in the process, post Round 1 deadlines for US MBA schools. At the time, I had short-listed my MBA schools, and knew my first choice was INSEAD vs Tuck vs LBS. From the first conversation with Jen, I could tell she was very genuine and supportive. I was also very impressed with her positive vibes and extensive knowledge in MBA admissions. I was extremely worried because I was an older candidate and had not secured a decent GMAT score at the time. She patiently analysed my strengths and weaknesses and saw something special about me that I had never noticed, which resulted in placing me in an excellent position for application. Throughout my GMAT and essay writing journey, Jen supported me flexibly due to my 'forever changing decisions' and provided strategic advice in school applications and test taking, hoping to help me land in a great MBA program.
Jen was very efficient and always delivered within the advised timeframe, sometimes even earlier, which makes me less worried about additional tasks during the journey. Now I am about to start my MBA with INSEAD in a few months' time, and I kit weren't for Jen, I would be doubtful of getting an offer with a scholarship.
I highly recommend Jen to those who may be confused during their MBA admission journey, as she is always there for you and will help you navigate your way! Even for those who might already 'have' a solid plan, Jen will always offer a different and insightful perspective, guiding you to places you never considered and recognizing your uniqueness.
Lastly, thank you so much, Jen. I am at a loss for words about how much I appreciate your advice and support. I definitely would not be going to INSEAD without you. Take care!

Working with Rachel for my MBA applications was the best decision I could've made.

Rachel is highly organized and responds to emails incredibly fast (weekends included), which already reduces a lot of pressure from a stressful process. She is methodical and takes the time to get to know you, which becomes essential for aiding in the essay brainstorm process and understanding your perspective. Her journalism experience along with multiple years aiding in the application process, and her creativity make her stand out as the best counselor I've had.
P.S. She also was the first person to call me after I received my first acceptance letter! She truly does become your #1 fan and supporter through the application process.

It is very pricy, but I assume this is the market

I worked with Harshad for my MBA applications to Columbia, NYU and Cornell. Unfortunately, I had a low budget, so I opted for a 4-hour package to review essays, CV and 30 minutes for a mock interview.

Harshad always demonstrated professionalism, and it is clear why he is one of the top-ranked MBA advisors all over the world. Moreover, even if we went overtime during our meetings, he never asked me to pay extra and continued to reply to my emails when I had a little doubt to clear.

I definitely would not have achieved the same results without Harshad's help.

I interviewed four different MBA application consulting firms and spoke to two of them a second time, and ultimately landed on mbaMission, because of Melissa Blakeslee and Heidi Granner. Both Melissa and Heidi were incredibly knowledgeable about the application process, responsive, honest, and clearly had my best interest at heart throughout the entire process. They provided valuable feedback as to schools and programs they felt would be the best match for me, and how they aligned with my short-term and long-term goals. I would highly recommend Melissa and Heidi in mbaMission for either the hourly services or the comprehensive package.

Nothing, everything was perfect

I worked with Harold in 2023-2024, and initially he helped me build my application for a Full-Time MBA program at a top US business school (essay, resume, etc.). Although I wasn’t accepted that time, Harold kept encouraging me to reapply the following year. I almost gave up, but he believed in me more than I believed in myself, and he was always following up, brainstorming, and suggesting alternative approaches. Based on my inputs (age, workload, location, career goals), he advised me to shift strategies: to consider an Executive MBA and take the Executive Assessment instead of the GMAT. It all paid off - now I’m halfway through the Chicago Booth Executive MBA program. Earning an MBA from a top U.S. business school was my dream. I am really enjoying the experience, and I will be forever grateful to Harold. Thank you very much!

Cost is on the higher side, but you get what you pay for.

This mba mission hourly service was incredibly effective. My consultant (Heidi Granner) was tough on me at first and really pushed me to reflect deeply on my experiences. That pressure led to honest, authentic writing. We went through several iterations and brainstorming sessions, each one helping me get closer to the real story I wanted to tell. In the end, the hard work paid off with essays I felt truly proud of, and I received admits to 4 M7 schools, including some with scholarships.
If taking the hourly service, I highly recommend doing the brainstorming session before writing the essays - which would allow you to put your best self forward in the essays.

Gavi is an incredible consultant! She really tries to transform your life by getting you accepted to your dream school, by knowing the rules of the game, while also realizing your time matters. She really tries to understand her clients, understanding their motivations and interests. Highly reccomend. She was fantastic with my CBS application!! Was accepted with $130k in scholarships, which is 75% of tuition. She is also very dedicated, ensuring that I went into my interviews with the utmost confidence.

Most importantly, she is an astute storyteller. She is skilled at identifying what aspects of a client's background will be suprising or interesting to draw other and also connect with the admissions audience.

Working with Gavriella was the best decision I made during the MBA application process. I initially worked with another consultant because they had helped people I knew, but I never really felt a connection. Toward the end, I switched to Gavriella on an hourly basis and immediately wished I had started with her from the beginning.

She helped me make sense of my story and uncovered insights I hadn’t even considered. Beyond her deep understanding of the schools and the application process, what truly sets Gavriella apart is how much she cares. She went out of her way to check in on decision days and offered encouragement at every step. Even after our sessions ended, she kept reaching out.

Having someone like Gavriella in my corner made all the difference. I got into my dream school because of her and If I could do it all over again, I’d work with her from day one.

I worked with Cat on my Master’s in Management (MiM) applications and had an outstanding experience. I was targeting several top European schools and mainly needed support with crafting my resume, answering application essays, and preparing for interviews.
From the start, Cat was incredibly friendly, responsive, and insightful. After our first call, I knew we’d make a great team. She was always quick to reply and genuinely invested in my success—I could count on her for thoughtful, timely answers, even for quick questions.
What I appreciated most was how she helped me shape the story I wanted to tell. Cat took the time to understand my background and accomplishments, then guided me in presenting them in a compelling way across my applications. Whenever I felt unsure about how to approach a particular essay or prompt, she helped me reframe my thinking and gain clarity.
Cat supported me throughout the entire MiM application journey, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even enjoyable. Thanks to her guidance, I was accepted into my top-choice school: HEC Paris. I’m incredibly grateful—thank you, Cat!
