During our first call, Harshad immediately put me at ease. He explained that there was no pressure to work together and didn’t come across as salesy. That made our discussion productive and helped me understand clearly how he could guide me. He shared detailed foundational materials at the start. While these felt overwhelming and a bit bureaucratic at first, they ended up being incredibly helpful for keeping the process organized and making communication across multiple drafts and essays much easier.

After spending years in my own professional bubble, my version of my story came off as dry. Harshad’s deep understanding of the MBA admissions landscape made all the difference. He helped me turn my background into compelling, clear narratives that highlighted the unique qualities I’d bring to the classroom. He also guided me in striking the right balance between my experiences and aspirations in my applications.

Harshad invests time not only in understanding your story but also in noticing patterns in how you think, which proved very useful. He organized multiple calls and made it easy for me to clarify what mattered most and what I wanted from business school.

His school selection strategy was logical and centered on what you’re hoping to get from the MBA experience. I ended up changing some schools on my final Round 1 list based on his advice. After visiting campuses and speaking with students and alumni, I found his perspectives truly added value to my own research. He helped me prioritize which applications would be most challenging and which materials could be reused across schools. He consistently put my best interests first. Even for schools where I wasn’t using his services, he generously shared his advice.

For one of my essays, I struggled to keep my message concise without losing its core meaning. Harshad patiently worked through several drafts with me until I was happy. His incredibly fast turnaround, often within 24 hours, was a lifesaver while I balanced work and applications.

Thanks to Harshad’s guidance, I was admitted to Harvard, which was truly a dream come true. His methodical approach and patient mentoring were key in helping me overcome my initial challenges and present the strongest possible application.

If you’re worried about not having the usual feeder pedigree that seems common on online forums, don’t get discouraged. Be genuine when telling your story and work with Harshad, who is truly skilled at helping you showcase what makes you unique so you can stand out in a competitive pool.

Personalized service, relationship building, extra materials (PDF guides, Ontrack software, etc).

Working with Harold throughout my MBA application journey was one of the best decisions I made during this process. From the very beginning, all the way through admissions results, scholarship negotiations, and ultimately deciding where to enroll, Harold played a major role in helping me navigate every step with confidence and clarity.

I applied to seven business schools with his guidance and was successful at more than half of them, receiving major scholarships at every school I got accepted to. I’ll be attending MIT Sloan, and I genuinely believe a significant part of my success came from Harold’s collaboration, insight, and support throughout the process.

What stood out most about Harold was how personable, responsive, and invested he was. He was always willing to hop on a call, answer questions quickly, and provide thoughtful feedback no matter how big or small the concern was. He helped me significantly improve my resume, pushed me to think creatively in my essays, and worked closely with me to tailor my story authentically and strategically for each school. He also provided valuable interview preparation and helped me think through difficult admissions and enrollment decisions once results started coming in.

Every conversation I had with him left me feeling more prepared, more confident, and more optimistic about the process. He has a great ability to make applicants feel supported while also pushing them to present the strongest possible version of themselves. He is transparent, honest, and easy to work with. No question ever felt too complicated or too insignificant/dumb for him to address thoughtfully.

My advice to anyone applying to business school would be to start the process as early as possible and strongly consider working with Harold. Beyond being an exceptional consultant, he is genuinely fun, kind, and supportive throughout what can otherwise be a very stressful experience.

One thing I especially appreciated is that the relationship doesn’t feel transactional or temporary. Even after getting accepted and preparing to start business school, I still feel comfortable reaching out to Harold and staying in touch.

I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Working with Susan ended up being one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process. I wouldn't have gotten into Stanford without her!

She was far more than an essay editor or admissions advisor. She took the time to understand what I was trying to say, then pushed me to express it with more clarity, depth, and precision than I thought I could. Her standard for excellence was incredibly high, and that made me raise my own bar throughout the process.

Her guidance was especially meaningful on my Stanford “What Matters Most” essay. The final version became one of the pieces of writing I am proudest of. It felt honest, personal, and deeply reflective of who I am and who I want to become. The conversations and reflection that went into that essay were so impactful that they genuinely reshaped how I thought about my MBA goals and priorities.

Beyond the writing itself, Susan was also a real source of motivation and perspective. When interview invitations came in, she helped me stay grounded while also reminding me to appreciate how far I had come.

What made the experience stand out is that it never felt transactional. Susan brought genuine care, responsiveness, and thoughtfulness to the process. She was fast with feedback, direct when needed, and deeply invested in helping me put forward the strongest and most authentic version of my story.

I would strongly recommend Susan to anyone looking for an MBA consultant who combines sharp editorial judgment, strategic admissions insight, and real mentorship. She made me a better applicant, but more importantly, she helped me better understand and articulate my own story.

Working with Jessica was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application process. Her guidance was thoughtful, strategic, and genuinely personalized—and it changed the quality of my application and the confidence I had submitting it.
From day one, Jessica helped me get to the heart of my story. She took time to understand my professional background and the personal experiences behind it—what motivates me, what I value, and where I’m headed. She then helped me pull out clear themes and shape them into a narrative that felt authentic, cohesive, and compelling.
She’s also incredibly good at asking the questions you didn’t realize you needed. Jessica balanced encouragement with direct, constructive feedback, and she pushed me to be clearer and more specific—especially when articulating my goals and impact. I walked away with a much stronger point of view and a sharper way of communicating it.
Jessica has a great eye for detail without ever taking over your voice. She helped me tighten language, strengthen structure, and elevate the polish of my essays and short answers—while making sure everything still sounded like me. The final product felt like the best, most intentional version of my own work.
Jessica brings strong judgment, empathy, and exceptional communication skills to every step of the process. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone applying to MBA programs who wants a consultant that will help you find your story, sharpen your message, and feel supported from start to finish.

Working with Rachel was the best decision I made throughout my MBA application process. From our very first conversation, we formed an immediate connection. She took the time to really get to know me both personally and professionally which made all of our sessions and her feedback feel very authentic.
Rachel was there from start to finish. From helping me define and refine my goals, to crafting my story, to interview preparation, and ultimately helping me navigate my decision between my top two dream M7 business schools -- which I could not have gotten into without Rachel!
What truly sets Rachel apart is that she becomes your biggest cheerleader throughout the overwhelming and daunting process. She was so invested in my success and genuinely cared about my outcomes just as much as I did.
I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Due to Jessica’s guidance, I went 6/6 on acceptances and earned $400K in scholarships. But far deeper than that, she helped me find my voice.

What moved me most was how deeply she listened. She took my scattered stories, anxieties, and ambitions and uncovered the emotional and strategic thread beneath them. She has a rare gift for finding, and gently elevating, your true voice, even when you’re still searching for it yourself.

She masterfully balances big-picture strategy with line-by-line execution. She saw patterns I could not see and went far beyond editing my words—drawing out insights I hadn’t fully articulated, then translating them into compelling narratives that felt unmistakably my own. I left every conversation more connected to the person I want to become.

She is a wise advocate for you—and exactly who you want in your corner to help you achieve your highest potential.

The Da Vinci of admissions. It looks like an over embellishment on the surface. However, from where I was to where I am now, this statement is not only apt, but a disservice to Gavriella's tireless and continuous efforts to help in every conceivable way. The canvas to admissions can not only be colourless, but blank at times. Gavriella adds all the right colours and textures to create a master piece I didn't think possible. I cannot recommend enough to those navigating the MBA landscape, whether it is essays or interviews. A superb operator and consultant and an invaluable asset to MBAMission.

Working with Gavriella was one of the best decisions I made throughout my MBA journey. From day one, I felt like I was in thoughtful, considerate, and deeply experienced hands and that feeling never wavered.
What immediately stood out was how organized and strategic she was. Gavriella knew exactly which essays to tackle first and in what order across schools, minimizing redundant work and making the entire process far more efficient than I ever could have managed on my own. She kept me completely on track with deadlines, supplemental materials, and the small details that are easy to overlook. Nothing fell through the cracks.
I genuinely felt I could trust her blindly, and that kind of confidence is rare in a process this high-stakes. Her responsiveness was remarkable, as she was available and engaged even through the holiday period, which meant I never felt stranded or anxious waiting for feedback when time was tight.
Beyond the logistics, Gavriella was a true creative partner. Her contribution to my essays was fundamental and she helped me find and articulate my story in a way that felt authentic and compelling. Her interview prep was equally invaluable, giving me the tools and confidence to walk in feeling ready.
What could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience was, thanks to Gavriella, genuinely manageable and at times even enjoyable. I have already recommended her to friends who are now working with her, which says everything. I cannot recommend her enough!

Working with Jen as my admissions consultant was one of the best decisions I made during my application process. Among her many professional strengths, three stood out in particular:

1. Attention to detail: Jen had a sharp eye for both big-picture improvements and subtle refinements. She'd often bring up school-specific pointers or anecdotes which I'd told her about during the essay brainstorming phase which could further elevate a very good essay or interview answer to an excellent one.

2. Approachability: Jen was quick to turn around essay drafts and respond to questions, and she encouraged brainstorming ideas over calls. Her feedback was constructive without being overwhelming, and her positive and encouraging nature made it very easy for me to build a strong rapport with her.

3. Global school-specific knowledge: This was one of the biggest pros of working with Jen. Her school-specific insights about programs in the US and Europe were extremely impressive. She really helped me showcase my fit with schools in different parts of the world while staying authentic to my story.

Would make the product better:

While I had a very positive experience overall, the upfront cost of the school package can feel high, especially at the beginning of the process. However, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you are someone who is not very comfortable with writing essays or if you want someone to help you stay on track with deadlines.

Jen played a key role in helping me land 4 acceptances (LBS, INSEAD, Kellogg with scholarship, and Cambridge Judge). She was instrumental in helping me translate my quantifiable achievements into compelling essays and clearly articulate my professional impact during interviews. She's organized, approachable, and knows how to bring out the best in an applicant based on their story.

Her positive demeanor made it very easy for me to collaborate with her, and her vast experience working with applicants across both U.S. and international programs adds valuable global perspective, enabling her to guide candidates effectively across different cultures.

I'd strongly recommend working with Jen as your admissions consultant.

I had the pleasure of working with Gavriella on my Executive MBA applications, and I could not be happier with her support from start to finish. Gavriella is highly organized and always accessible for brainstorming or ad hoc questions, ensuring I felt supported every step of the way. She took the time to deeply understand my background, goals, and leadership style. Through her thoughtful guidance, I was able to clarify my personal brand and weave my milestone accomplishments into a compelling application narrative. The entire process was structured, detailed, and remarkably efficient. Thanks to her coaching, I completed applications for two programs and was accepted into both. I am now enrolled in my top-choice program and deeply grateful to Gavriella for giving me the confidence to succeed. I knew from day one I was in expert hands!
