Product Fortuna Admissions Comprehensive School Package
Consultant Silpa Sarma
Eight months ago, an M7 admit felt like a long shot. Today, I'm heading to Chicago Booth, and working with Silpa Sarma at Fortuna was a meaningful part of that journey.
From the outset, Silpa brought a level of strategic clarity that helped me think through school selection with genuine rigor. She helped me feel confident about Booth not just as a reach but as a realistic and well-reasoned target given my profile. That reframe alone changed how I approached the entire process.
Where she really added value was in the details: tightening my resume, shaping my letters of recommendation, and most critically helping me build a narrative that was honest, confident, and contextually strong.
The essays and overall positioning came together because of her frameworks and feedback, but also because she pushed me to do the hard thinking myself. That balance between guidance and ownership is what I appreciated most.
If you're on the fence about working with a consultant, I'd say this: the right one helps you present the best version of yourself clearly enough that the admissions committee can see what you already know. Silpa did that for me.
