I worked with Gavi for a 5 school package (all M7 schools), and I have no shortage of praise for Gavi! Gavi helped me convert all 5 of my applications into interviews, resulting in 3 acceptances all with scholarship / fellowships. I will be attending Wharton this fall with a fellowship thanks to her support!

While the MBA application process can be a grueling challenge filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and stress and Gavi operates as a true partner to help break down the application process into a tenable journey.

Gavi has an incredibly deep toolkit to help prepare you for the application process. As an attentive listener, strong communicator, and deep empath, she takes the time to deeply understand her clients so that she can tailor her guidance specifically to you. Gavi will get to know you and help you create an application that highlights you in the best way possible.

Though I was randomly assigned to work with Gavi through the mbaMission consult, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. My application and preparation would not have been what it was without her. I attribute so much of my success in the application process to her guidance and support. The only sad part about the MBA application process being over for me is not getting to work with Gavi anymore!

I worked with Susan on 2 schools during round 1 applications. I did the Start-to-Finish Package and thought it was well worth it! I was extremely impressed by how Susan personalized the start-to-finish package for each school, and did not simply reuse aspects from the first school we completed.

Susan did a thorough deep dive into my background to help me craft the best stories for the schools I was applying to. She helped me identify my strengths that aligned well to each schools values, and helped me craft these strengths into strong stories that both highlighted my experiences and spoke well to the admissions committees. When it came time for interviews, Susan provided invaluable feedback in how I should visually present myself and best verbalize my accomplishments.

Throughout the entire application process, Susan is completely open and honest in her feedback. She is extremely meticulous and will keep turning content with you until it is absolutely perfect.

Without Susan's help I would not have written nearly as strong applications, would have had a difficult time staying on track for round 1 deadlines, and likely would not have gotten into my goal schools. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an mba admissions consultant!

If my word count was only limited to two, my review of Krista would be simple: The GOAT.

I put a lot amount of thoughts into big decisions or purchases, so when I was considering whether or not to use a consultant or who to use, I turned over every stone. I explored every firm and talked to a lot of different people. I watched Krista’s video on MBAMission and really resonated with her emphasis on getting to know the person behind the resume, along with her signature chuckle at the end, and felt as though I’d be comfortable really opening up to her so that I could put my all into my application. She was my #1 choice out of all of the chats I had done with consultants and words can’t explain how happy I am that I made the right choice.
Working with Krista surpassed all of my expectations. She overinvested in getting to know everything about me, not just my career, why I chose it and future ambitions, but the way I grew up, my family dynamics, the seemingly meaningless stories that have had an impact on my life, professionally and personally. Despite being hired as my consultant, it felt as though she doubled as a personal therapist throughout the application process. She was able to piece together all of the small details of my life, that even I had forgotten at times, and help me create cohesive and compelling essays tailored to each individual school that I applied to.
Despite my love for Krista the person, her professionalism and passion for the job is the true reason why I’m so thankful I chose her. I’m not a strong writer, but Krista allowed me to simply put everything down on a page that I wanted to talk about and she was able to take it from there. She was able to help me take my excessively long brain dumps and edit them down so that they would be the most concise and powerful versions. Her attention to detail and her ability to scrutinize every sentence, word and punctuation mark, to create the strongest possible essay was something I hadn’t ever seen before (including from all of my supervisors, bosses and MDs to date). Outside of the essays, she helped coach me on every aspect of the application from reviewing my recommenders’ recommendations or helping me with extracurricular descriptions to the most minute details such as what I should be including about my family background. No matter the aspect of the application, Krista never let me settle for good: It had to be great.
I know Krista sells out almost every year, but throughout my time with her, it always felt as though I was her only client. She often was able to get draft revisions back to me ahead of the MBAMission two business day timeline and was always available to hop on zoom to talk, no matter how large or small my problem at the time was (I’m surprised she didn’t bill my medical insurance for therapy charges). Throughout my application process Krista became much more than my consultant and now that I’m finished, I can say with absolute certainty that I’d trust her with my first-born child. She helped take my applications to a new level and because of her I was able to get a scholarship from Wharton, in addition to being accepted into my dream school, that I’m looking forward to attending in the fall: Harvard Business School.

My experience with Jessica was amazing.

I am an over-represented majority from a business school applicant perspective based on occupation, demographics, undergrad major, and location and was really worried about how I could stand out when I first started the process. To make things worse, before I started with Jessica I also was struggling to verbalize my journey and why I wanted to purse an MBA.

From our first brainstorming session, Jessica was able to extract so much about me and my journey that I had not been able to put into words myself. She also very quickly was able to guide me on where I needed to go deeper and what aspects of my journey might connect. Through all of this, Jessica not only helped me define why I wanted to purse an MBA, she also helped me verbalize my overall story despite what felt like me not giving her much to work with. Jessica helped me dig really deep (for me) to come up with stories that made me stand out and were successful for every school I applied to.

Going into the process I was concerned that with my job and personal responsibilities, I was not going to be able to put enough time and effort into essay brainstorming and writing. Luckily for me, Jessica is efficient. Even in the early brainstorming sessions, Jessica was always super prepared going into each session. Not only that, but Jessica would come with multiple options at each step so no time was ever wasted. On top of that, Jessica's feedback was always very tangible and upfront saving any unnecessary churn.

Without Jessica there is no way I would have gotten into the schools I did. Beyond that, there's no way I would have experienced the reflection and growth she helped me through as we put together my story and applications. Really appreciate everything Jessica did for me and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Melissa was an unbelievable partner and resource throughout the admissions process. She provided amazing advice and suggestions and was always super quick to provide feedback and answer ad-hoc questions as they came up. Working with Melissa put my mind at ease throughout the essay writing process, filling out application forms, and especially interviewing. Melissa's advice and guidance on how I could best prepare for interviews, and working with her on practice interviews, ensured I was ready to go. I feel that working with Melissa provided tremendous value and allowed me to enhance my applications. I would highly recommend working with her.

It’s hard to overstate what a thoughtful, sharp, responsive, creative, brilliant and kind admissions consultant Susan was during the MBA admission process. I applied to only one MBA program and am happy to say I was accepted to Wharton. As a non-traditional applicant (practicing physician), Susan was able to quickly identify the most important and impactful aspects of my past and help me weave them into an fluid story and airtight application. In fact, I refined my own goals through the process of working with her. Through helping me put the pieces of my journey together, she also helped me feel more empowered about my own narrative, reminded me of the value of coaching, and helped me to become a better story-teller.

As these application processes can be stressful and daunting, her positivity and encouragement were instrumental for me. Another highlight was the precise, accurate interview preparation she put me through and her responsiveness throughout the process- I never felt like I was in this process solo. It was clear that she was 100% invested in my success.

I feel very fortunate to have been put in touch with Susan.

I worked with Nisha to apply to HSW during the 2023-2024 application cycles, and I can say without hesitation that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications - I got accepted into H and W, an outcome that I could only dream of prior to getting the acceptance letters from both schools!

I came to Nisha feeling generally confused and overwhelmed by the work required to pull my applications together, and she immediately helped structure the approach for me to make it digestible and doable. Starting from our first meeting, Nisha set about understanding what has been important in my life; she kept that top of mind while working with me to develop applications that reflected me in the best ways possible for each school. Nisha was crucial for my essays, recommender selection and preparation, interview prep, and all of the small parts of applications that I didn't even know existed!

Nisha worked closely with me to brainstorm content for essays and then took a rigorous approach to pulling out the best stories that I could tell for each essay prompt. I truly felt cared for and supported as we went through brainstorming sessions, topic selection, outline reviews, and many, many essay drafts before we felt confident that I had well-rounded and complete essays to submit. She applied the same level of detail to the other big parts of my applications (recommender selection, interview prep, etc.), and even the small parts that gave me extra concern. I can honestly say that working with Nisha allowed me to leave no stone unturned and propelled me towards putting my best foot forward for each of the applications that we worked on together.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Nisha was absolutely pivotal for my successful MBA applications, and I recommend working with her to anyone who is serious about applying to top programs!

Crafting good application essays has always been a challenge for me as a non-native English speaker, but Krista helped me navigate through the journey effectively. During the brainstorming sessions, she helped me find highlights in my career and daily life, and encouraged me to incorporate them into my applications, advice that turned out to be extremely effective and made my essay outstanding. Before drafting an essay, she would help me organize my thoughts and go over the essay structure, which greatly assisted me in making the essays flow logically. The interview prep sessions proved to be effective as well, as we prepared a lot of questions that were later asked during the interviews. Looking back, I realize that I initially underestimated the amount of workload required for the MBA application and the value of an admissions consultant. Working with Krista was one of the best decisions I made during my application journey. She saved me a lot of time and truly made everything possible.

I would highly recommend Krista. She helped me brainstorm some brilliant ideas for my essays, refine my interview answers, and secure two offers from my top choices. She's super friendly and respectful. She truly cares about your success.
