Experience during the program

Think the class size is perfect -- not so big it's overwhelming and clicky, but not so small you are tired of seeing the same people. Culture has been a great fit for me, and the school does a fair amount of stuff with the local businesses in Austin.

Great hands-on experiences for industry-specific verticals (marketing, operations, PE/VC, asset management). Was hoping career services had a better handle of recruiting processes relating to each firm. Kind of up to the student to figure out how each company will interview and how to prepare, which results in fragmented communication and not the best showing of our class. Great school overall -- like many schools, a lot of great characteristics but a few things could be improved.

After speaking with other leading MBA consulting firms (e.g., Veritas Prep, Stacy Blackman), it was abundantly clear that mbaMission, and specifically Dan Richards, had the tailored approach I needed to be successful in the admissions process.

In the first 30-minute consultation, Dan provided unique insights that were very different from the boiler plate / false-hope language that were prevalent in other free conversations. He asked targeted questions and worked with me to develop a go-forward strategy to be competitively positioned for the round 1 admissions process.

I engaged his services, and throughout the process he provided value-add, honest feedback on all my application materials. He was always timely in his response, was transparent about the quality of work (good and bad) and had an awareness of how all the submitted materials jived with my overall narrative.

With his help, I got into the one school (top 20) I applied to! I couldn't of done it without Dan's help. Highly recommend his services to anyone who has the opportunity to speak with him.
