I really enjoyed my time working with Amrita and OnCourse Vantage! From the very beginning, she created a supportive and thoughtful environment that helped me reflect deeply on my experiences and motivations. She guided me through the process of uncovering the core reasons behind my decision to apply to business school, ensuring that my story was both authentic and compelling. Beyond just finding the 'why,' she helped me fine-tune my narrative to align with the specific values and expectations of my top-choice programs. Her insight, strategic thinking, and encouragement made a huge difference in how confident I felt submitting my applications.

MBA consulting experience with Amrita

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]

Strengths:

Amrita’s guidance was deeply personalized, structured, and rooted in clarity. She took the time to understand my motivations and goals, helping me craft a compelling and authentic narrative. Her strategic advice on school selection, essay structuring, and interview preparation was always thoughtful and tailored to my profile. I appreciated her sharp attention to detail and unwavering encouragement throughout the process.

Working with Amrita from OnCourse was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA application journey. I was applying as an Indian female candidate from an investing background, and I wanted my story to go beyond the typical finance applicant. Amrita took the time to understand not just my professional background but also my personal motivations and long-term goals. Her ability to draw out the most compelling aspects of my story, while keeping the tone authentic and structured, made a significant difference. From brainstorming essay ideas to editing multiple drafts and preparing for interviews, Amrita was always encouraging, responsive, and honest with feedback. Most importantly, she always kept our goals realistic and did not promise me of anything she did not believe i could truly achieve.

Oncourse Vantage - Admission Consulting & GMAT Classes Review

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

I had a really good experience with Oncourse for my GMAT prep. The classes were well-structured, and the teachers made even the tougher concepts feel manageable. I could always reach out to the faculty with questions, and they actually took the time to help me work through them. They helped me identify exact topics of weakness and structured the prep to spend more attention on the same.


Working with Neha and the entire Oncourse for my MBA applications was honestly a huge help. The team really took the time to get to know me, and that made a big difference in how my story came through in the applications. They helped me figure out which schools made the most sense, gave super thoughtful feedback on my essays, and were always available to bounce ideas off or talk through doubts. It never felt cookie-cutter — everything was tailored to my profile and goals. The whole process felt way less overwhelming. Definitely recommend Oncourse for your MBA journey.

I worked with OnCourse Vantage for my ISB application, and the entire experience was outstanding. The process was seamless from start to finish, with clear timelines, prompt responses, and structured feedback at every stage. Neha’s insights were razor-sharp, strategic, and thoughtfully tailored to my profile and goals. She helped me reflect on my experiences, identify impactful stories, and present them in a compelling and authentic manner. In addition, we also did mock interviews, which were very helpful. The team’s deep understanding of the admissions process and various global business schools was evident throughout. Thanks to her guidance I was able to secure an admit into ISB. I’d highly recommend OnCourse Vantage to anyone navigating the competitive MBA (or even undergrad) admissions journey.

Had a great experience working with Oncourse! Super approachable and always made time to clear even my silliest doubts. Their deep experience and knowledge of top MBA programs truly set them apart

From refining my essays to preparing for interviews, their guidance was spot on. They really helped me bring out my story in a way that felt authentic but also strategic. A special shoutout to Neha, who went above and beyond to support me throughout the journey. Her suggestions were always thoughtful and personalized, and she really helped me stay confident and focused. Honestly don’t think I could’ve navigated the whole process without her. Would definitely recommend them if you’re applying!

INSEAD had been my dream school for almost a decade. In conversation with multiple consultants, I was told by all of them that I was simply not good enough because of my GMAT, and I should think about applying to Tier 2 schools. In my very first conversation with Oncourse, not as a sales pitch, but after a careful analysis of my profile, the consultants told me that I was capable of getting in because INSEAD is not a GMAT focused school but a profile focused one and they had faith in my profile being strong, At the same time, they said there is never a 100% guarantee and we can only try while guiding me to apply to other schools that may be suitable for me. With the help of Oncourse, I not only got into the 3 top business schools I applied to but also got into INSEAD and got to fulfill my dream.

Great experience with Oncourse!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

Strengths:

1. Crafted compelling narratives for the essays that fit with my career goals.
2. In-depth feedback for the resume, essays, and interviews.
3. Great knowledge and advice regarding which B-schools to target.

When I began my MBA application journey, I sought a program that would complement my strong technical foundation from one of the top 5 IITs and propel me toward leadership roles in the tech industry. That’s when I discovered Oncourse, and partnering with them was one of the best decisions I made during the application process.

From the outset, Neha and her team brought a thoughtful and strategic approach to my application journey. They helped me build a well-balanced yet ambitious list of target schools, pushing me to consider programs I might have hesitated to apply to on my own. Their belief in my potential and encouragement to aim high significantly influenced how I approached the process.

What truly set Oncourse apart was their deep level of personalization. Every application received school-specific feedback on essays and strategy, and they worked closely with me to refine my resume and narrative in a way that highlighted my accomplishments and my growth story. Their insights helped me tell a compelling and authentic story that resonated across applications.

Beyond written materials, the interview preparation was equally thorough. The mock interviews and feedback sessions helped me refine my answers, sharpen my communication, and go into each interview with clarity and confidence. I could feel the difference in how I performed.

With their support, I was fortunate to receive interview invites from multiple top-tier schools and ultimately, admission to my dream school. I’m incredibly grateful for the role Oncourse played in this journey. They don’t just help you submit strong applications; they invest in your success, challenge you to think bigger, and equip you with the tools to present the best version of yourself.

I highly recommend Oncourse to any MBA applicant looking for a highly personalized, insightful, and empowering consulting experience.
