Rachel Turned a Challenging Round 3 Timeline into Top MBA Acceptances

Product Gatehouse Admissions Consulting

Consultant Rachel R Nelson

I worked with Rachel on my Round 3 MBA applications. At the time, I was a strategy consultant based in the Middle East with a background in mechanical engineering, a 3.2 GPA, and a 328 GRE. In February, I decided to switch career paths and pursue an MBA, which meant applying in Round 3 with a very tight timeline.

Rachel was incredible throughout the entire process. In just two months, she guided me through school selection, helped me build a clear and compelling application strategy, and adapted to my schedule to support me across 10 applications. She took the time to understand my background, help me develop my story, and translate it into strong, authentic essays.

What stood out most was her commitment to excellence. She pushed every application to be as strong as possible, sometimes going through more than 10 iterations of a single essay until it felt right. Her guidance, motivation, and attention to detail were essential to my success. Thanks to her support, I was accepted to 7 out of 10 of the programs I applied to including MIT Sloan and London Business School, even in their final application round.
