Having completed the MBA process a few months ago, I can very confidently say that I wouldn’t have had the success that I had in the MBA process (getting into 5 full-time MBA programs with scholarships at each of them, receiving interviews from each school I applied to, and eventually committing to go to an M7 MBA program) without Kim. When I started working with Kim, I told her that I was working on a tighter timeline during Round 2 (I had started the MBA process in the fall of last year) and she constantly exceeded my expectations in helping me achieve all of my goals in this shorter timeline. It is because of Kim that I am going to my dream school. 

The combination of Kim’s many years of experience in MBA admissions consulting, her expertise in English, kindness, patience and personable nature made our time working together such a success. I enjoyed working with her so much! She worked tirelessly to help me during this process and was always so responsive as well as deeply committed to her craft of helping her clients achieve their goals. 

I worked with Kim during the resume/essay editing, mock interview preparation, and scholarship negotiation phases of the MBA process. Her suggestions to improve the quality of my essays and my resume were invaluable. I could tell that she took a lot of time to critically think about how my essays/resume could be refined where needed. Outside of her support in essay/resume review, Kim also conducted several mock interviews with me. She asked thoughtful questions and she thoroughly prepared me for my interviews. After each of my interviews, Kim would check in to see how I felt after completing them. Her thoughtful nature and the personal touch she adds to everything she does truly differentiates Kim from other MBA consultants. Even after I had completed my interviews at each school, Kim would frequently check in to see how I was feeling during the process and provide encouragement. Kim also supported and guided me through the scholarship negotiation phase of the MBA application process, providing me with highly beneficial advice and edits for any emails or documentation that I needed to send out. With the school that I decided to commit to, I received a sizable scholarship from them, which is largely due to the advice and guidance that I received from Kim. 

I highly recommend anyone looking for a highly experienced, wise, friendly and personable MBA consultant to work with Kim. Kim is the best out there! It was highly apparent throughout the entirety of the process that she was so genuinely invested in my success and cared so much about me getting into one of my dream schools. Thanks to her, I did it and am going to my dream school. Thank you SO much, Kim!!!

Harold is very professional, has a in depth understanding of the MBA application process and individual business schools. Harold cares about his clients. Without his guidance, coaching and encouragement, I would not be able to get into my dream business school. Thank you, Harold! He is the dream consultant.

I started MBA application process two months before round 2 deadline. Because of Harold’s strategic application plan and quick turnaround time, I was able to submit 6 school applications on time. Throughout the entire application, interview, and waitlist process, Harold has always been very patiently answering my questions and providing me insightful feedbacks. Harold is empathetic and very generous about his time. I feel very comfortable just sending him email or call him when I have questions. Harold also provided me insightful outline of the 2-year MBA journey and post-MBA career advices. Harold is more than a consultant, he has became my mentor.

Harold’s service worth every penny. I would recommend Harold to my friends who plan to apply for MBA.

I cannot emphasise enough how much I recommend Melissa as an MBA admission consultant. Working with her was an absolute game-changer! Her expertise, dedication, and support played a crucial role in my admission to all three programs during the final application round.

Melissa truly took the time to understand my unique story, aspirations and goals by deep diving into my background and experiences and ensure it was effectively communicated in every aspect of my application. Melissa’s warm, thoughtful and genuine approach created a safe space where I felt super comfortable sharing my ideas or concerns throughout the process.

Her insightful advice were absolute gold. Melissa provided invaluable feedback, helping me refine my ideas and craft compelling narratives that truly demonstrated my unique story.

Melissa’s commitment to time is unparalleled. I was working on an extremely tight timeframe for the final application round and she always ensured that we stayed on track. Her prompt responses to my inquiries and availability for calls provided me with a sense of reliability that was very comforting.

Melissa genuinely cares, her dedication and belief in my abilities instilled me with great confidence and enthusiasm (especially during interviews) that were instrumental to my success. This is truly one of the best decisions you can make!

I had consulted Harold for my mock interview prep for an M7 school and application approach. Throughout the process, he was always available for my questions, direct with his feedback and quick & thorough with his input. This was critical for me as I was juggling with multiple timelines. His vast experience makes him a great consultant during the MBA admissions process. I appreciated his availability and guidance both during our mock interview prep and offline

I highly recommend the mock interview practice with him as he provides constructive feedback to help you shine during the process.

Thank for all your help, Harold.

Making the decision to pursue an MBA program during the late stage of the application season and with a significantly low undergraduate GPA put me at a considerable disadvantage from the start. Consequently, I began my search for a consulting service to assist me with my application. After having several free consultations with consultants from various firms, I discovered that Debbie was the only one who provided me with honest advice and an effective application strategy, ultimately helping me regain my confidence. Working with her over the past three months has been an enjoyable experience. Debbie consistently demonstrated her professionalism and experience in every aspect, from structuring and refining my essays and resume to preparing me for interviews. She helped me uncover my strengths, guiding me to effectively showcase them in my essays, and she provided me with a newfound clarity in defining my career goals. Moreover, Debbie imparted invaluable techniques on capturing the attention of interviewers. If there were any lingering doubts about committing myself to an MBA program before working with Debbie, they have vanished completely. With her invaluable assistance, I successfully gained admission to Rice Business School. I strongly recommend Debbie to anyone seeking to maximize their chances of receiving offers from their dream schools.

I reached out to Jessica when I was struggling with essays. I wanted to apply to a few top schools but wasn't able to figure out how to pick the right stories. I needed some help with brainstorming and guidance. Jessica provided all that and more. She has been simply incredible. Right from my first conversation with her, she made me feel comfortable due to her honesty and approachability. I knew immediately that I would reach out to her for hourly services if required. I am so glad I did! Jessica is very insightful and was able to expertly help me weave a strong narrative that was authentic and honest. I was initially reluctant to write about some experiences I had gone through but she helped me see aspects of those stories that I hadn't considered before. I am glad I trusted her and took her advice. She really knows her stuff. I also got to know myself really well in the process and enjoyed every minute with her. She is also extremely prompt with replies and answers questions patiently.

She helped me secure 5 admits and one of them is my dream school that I will be going to this fall! A year back, I would NEVER have expected to get in especially because of my above average age, middling score and non-traditional background but Jessica made it possible. She believed in me and helped me believe in myself. I'm extremely grateful that I got to work with her and I know it's not an exaggeration when I say that she changed my career trajectory.

Harold Simansky was immensely helpful throughout the process of applying to early admissions MBA programs. As a student in my final semester of college studying computer science, I was unsure of what exactly top MBA programs were looking for in applicants. Harold helped me focus on the experiences that were most important, while also giving me suggestions on how I should best talk about these events. His perspective was extremely helpful when trying to explain my role in technical projects to a business-focused audience. Harold ultimately helped me get accepted to MIT Sloan's early admissions MBA program, and I would highly recommend him as a consultant.

I started working with Krista unsure if I could get into a top MBA program. I was worried about my subpar GPA and average test scores. Overall, I wasn’t very confident in myself or ability to get in. Because of Krista, I got into my top schools PLUS I landed sizeable scholarships! I’m so happy and 1000/10 recommend!

More info:
From the first interaction, Krista was the ray of sunshine that cut through the fog and turned this murky, arduous process into something very clear, doable, and possible. She is so warm and easy to work with and so knowledgeable. Krista has an amazing process for getting key information out at every turn. The intake was key, she asked what I needed and had a clear process for me leading up to apps. She sent me the right emails at the right times and kept me honest and accountable both over e-communications and in meetings.

Essays were where I struggled most. As we went through, she helped me find the interesting, amazing nuggets and helped me focus on those as I wrote. I gained SO MUCH confidence throughout the process and felt myself growing and communicating better. The edits, ideas, redirects, and feedback Krista gave me were invaluable and she really pushed me to tell my story in a compelling way. The turnaround time for edits was also really appreciated, I knew I was pushing it toward the end of round 1 and she often delivered well before her guaranteed 48-hour window. By the end of it, I knew I had amazing applications and there would be nothing better.

Also, I really appreciated that Krista knew what I didn’t know and then would then ask me about it or nudge me into doing it. This was VITAL because applications are overwhelming and there is so much that you don’t know until it pops up (or you miss it.) Krista prepped me for each turn while also sharing AMAZING resources for anything you could conceive (coffee chats with students, school guides, visits, interviews, etc.) She also answered all my questions and connected me to opportunities I wouldn’t have known about.

One last thing - I really appreciated how Krista is so genuinely kind, pleasant, and wonderful to work with. We all need someone super qualified and good at what they do but you don’t know how much you really need someone who really cares about you, is in your corner, and is there for you on this crazy ride. That’s Krista, truly the best.

Bottom line:
Krista is an amazing coach and person. I got into my schools WITH scholarships and it was absolutely worth it. Invest in yourself. Go with Krista.

Kate is truly an exceptional consultant/guide/advisor. The MBA application process is very daunting and one of Kate’s many strengths was helping me manage all of the moving parts that go into an application. From our initial consultation, Kate helped me identify areas of my profile that needed attention while helping me identify schools/programs/career paths that would fit well into my profile and story. As an applicant from a nontraditional background (engineering/STEM), Kate was invaluable in guiding me to hit the sweet spot of showcasing my skills and experience without sounding like an engineering textbook. Something that I think really helped with my application was having Kate review my letters of recommendation. Kate worked directly with my recommenders to help them better understand what areas needed to be highlighted in their letters. It made me feel much better knowing that someone as experienced as Kate was reviewing the part of my application that I had little control over. Additionally, Kate helped me prepare for interviews (which I highly recommend) and acted as a sounding board for when I had to choose where to enroll out of the 4 amazing programs I was admitted to. I would not be where I am today without Kate. Thank you so much!!!

Harold was instrumental in getting me into three top ten MBA programs, including my number one choice. Harold was most effective at getting me from authentic uncertainty in which career path I wanted to take down into a clean and clear narrative that made my case for why I wanted and needed an MBA. He was a calm, direct, and consistent presence that helped me channel these doubts into clarity. Additionally, his vast school specific knowledge was very helpful for expeditiously adapting my “Why XYZ school” essays in a manner that was authentic.

Throughout the application process, Harold went above and beyond to ensure that I had my needs met. When up against application deadlines, Harold made sure to be available even when the policy of MBAMission provided him with extra time to respond, out of concern for my wellbeing and my applications. When it came time to choose a school, Harold was a sounding board throughout the process that I am exceedingly grateful for given the magnitude of a decision like this.

I would highly recommend Harold to anyone, but particularly those that need a steadying hand to keep them on the right track.
