ApplicantLab has lots of advantages. The school specific essay advice was something that stood out for me. I felt it was regularly updated and gives you proper guidance on how to shape your essays. ApplicantLab does not have support for certain schools and in those cases you can send an email using the prompt on the portal itself. Carin/Maria promptly reply to all the emails within a day and I always heard back from them when I was confused. I literally asked questions like "I have idea 1 vs idea 2" which would stand out better so it was nowhere like no consultant

After you are done with your essays there is an option to get their consultant to review it.

The guys who review your essays are alumni of top business schools and they really know what they are doing. To top that of, if you need a re-review of the essay for the same school you will get it at half the price. I remember getting my essays to these schools 4 times until I hit the right story.
I credit my admission to Foster, Scheller, McCombs(each with fee waivers of 70% at least) totally to ApplicantLab.
Thank you very much! Quality topped with affordability makes you a gem!

The largest contribution that TRP had in my application was in making a spectacular resume. My lead consultant Udit helped to refine my resume very tactfully using achievement oriented pointers. The resume has almost 70% weightage in a candidate being called for the interview process. I was applying with lesser than average years of work experience (only 3 years by the time of joining) and Udit did a perfect job in bringing out my multi-faceted experience and giving the adcom exactly what they wanted to see.
The other area where TRP helped me improve drastically was the interview preparation. Udit corrected and refined the answers to some of the most important questions such as "why mba", "why now" etc in the proper STAR format so that I was succint and effective with my replies. The mock interview gave me more questions to think about and prepare. Preparation was key for all the interviews.

I had taken the 1 school package through TRP and got a scholarship around 40k USD.
