Prior to hiring Nisha, I had failed to get into any of the five schools I applied to in round one. I was referred to Nisha by a friend and she very quickly helped me redo my essays and general narrative, quickly pointing out where there was significant room or improvement.

I’m happy to say in round two, I had much greater success. I secured offers from both Chicago Booth and Columbia Business School. I’m confident that I would not have been successful had I not been willing to pivot and bring in Nisha. She helped out quickly and had great feedback.

Harold is an incredible! He’s extremely knowledgable about the business school process, and his expertise was practical and tailored to my specific situation, which made all the difference. Each conversation with Harold was productive and inspiring; he helped me identify my strengths and voice, and worked hand-in-hand with me to craft a unique and compelling narrative. I didn’t think this was possible before I met Harold, given that I came from an over-represented candidate group. Harold also helped me transformed my resume, put together a strong application partake, and aced the interview. He was so supportive and was always quick to answer my questions. His support made all the difference in my successful application to Columbia Business School. I'm grateful for Harold’s expertise and guidance and cannot recommend him highly enough!

It was a great decision to work with Gavriella! I was accepted at both HBS and Wharton. She was a tremendous help in putting together my application, and particularly in effectively using the essays to tell my story. I reached out to her under a time crunch, and Gavriella was able to quickly identify the unifying thread in my past experiences and help me highlight the accomplishments I was most proud of. She is timely and attentive. Not only is she great at what she does, she is also kind, encouraging, and supportive.

I would highly recommend working with Gavriella - you will absolutely not regret it!

Working with Gavriella was incredible and I recommend her a consultant for a couple of reasons:

1. Professional and timely responses - Gavriella was extremely professional and responded to my emails, gave me resume feedback and edited my essays all in a timely manner so that I could follow the timeline we sett and make sure I was happy with my application well before the deadlines.

3. Comfortable & Friendly - Some consultants are really hard to approach and can be really intimidating. Some of them I even felt discouraged from applying or I felt that I wasn't good enough! But Gavriella never made me feel that way. She was supportive and a friendly face through out the whole process. It felt good that I could rely on her to answer any of my questions.

Not only did I get into my dream school of Columbia, I also got a scholarship!

I can only speak positively about my experience working with Gavriella. Candidly, I did work with a consultant other than Gavriella during majority of my application process. Once I submitted my applications, I was fortunate enough to be invited to interview at several programs. At the time, my original consultant was inundated with work, so he recommended that I prepare the interviews with Gavriella. He spoke highly of her and felt that she would provide fresh and objective feedback.

Gavriella exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I was nervous pivoting to a different consultant on such short notice, especially before what felt like the biggest moment in my application process. Gavriella accommodated my tight schedule in every way possible. She provided helpful technical advice and thoughtful perspectives that I could implement immediately. She offered to do as many follow-up sessions as necessary to reinforce the prior work we had done to ensure I felt comfortable, confident, and prepared going into my interviews. Gavriella took the time to understand my story and to connect with me as the human behind the stressful application process. It was a true pleasure working with Gavriella and I recommend her highly and without reservation.

I had a very positive experience working with Nisha. I chose the hourly services since I only wanted to apply to one school and, yes, I got in! She was very speedy in her responses and I was able to get through resume and essay edits in a couple billable hours. She had a lot of great feedback that 10x my initial drafts. I don't think things would have gone as successfully if I had not hired Nisha to help with the admission process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about applying to a school, especially if you just need hourly consulting.

I had the privilege of working with Nisha during crunch time of my round 1 applications to three M7 business schools. Nisha was not just a consultant; she was a mentor and guide throughout the process. Her professionalism, promptness, and friendly approach made the stressful period of applications much more manageable.

Her feedback on my resume and essays was detailed and insightful, significantly enhancing the quality of my application. Nisha’s ability to provide constructive criticism while highlighting my strengths was extremely helpful. She understood the intricacies of each school’s application process and tailored her advice accordingly.

What truly set Nisha apart was her efficient use of time. Despite the time constraints, she ensured that every piece of feedback was actionable and impactful, making the most of the consulting hours I had purchased. Her dedication to my success was evident in her willingness to go the extra mile, accommodating my schedule and responding swiftly to my queries.

Thanks to Nisha’s guidance, I was admitted to CBS’ class of 2026. Her expertise and personalized approach were invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their MBA application stand out. Nisha’s support is not just an investment in your application but in your future.

I unreservedly recommend working with Nisha on any aspect of your application. I began the MBA application process late and was faced with a condensed timeline to work through the GMAT and subsequent application materials. Nisha provided timely and invaluable input on all aspects of my candidacy from my resume to my essays and extra-curriculars. She was always responsive and available to jump on a zoom call to answer any pressing questions as the submission deadlines approached.
We continued to work together leading up to the interview process. Nisha conducted a great mock interview session which helped immensely in my preparation for conversations with admission committees. She not only presented the opportunity to practice speaking to my application and experience, but also provided critiques on how to better answer questions to convey the strengths I possessed as a candidate.
I am happy to say that I have been offered admission to my top choice in M7 school, and it would not have been possible without Nisha’s continued help and support. If you are in the market for a consultant who will get to know you as a candidate and work with you through each step of your application, Nisha is the perfect fit.
