Product ApplicantLab On-Demand Admissions Guidance Tool
Consultant Maria Wich-Vila
Coming from a background where MBAs are rarer, I went into the whole MBA process pretty blind, and I am certain I wouldn't have been able to put my best foot forward without the essay, resume, and interview tips that Maria laid out. ApplicantLab was intuitive, easy to navigate, and provided the key info that I needed in a tailored format for each school - amazing!
More than just her thorough platform, Maria was warm and responsive when I sent her emails and
actually gave me the push I needed to retake my GMAT and re-focus my application strategy. Unlike some other consultants I had spoken to, in our back and forths, Maria never downplayed my questions and I could see that she truly cared about bringing out the best for each applicant - this translates to her product as she's program agnostic and doesn't have skin in the game whether or not an applicant gets into a particular program vs. traditional consultants.
I ended up receiving acceptance to Wharton, Kellogg, and Yale with scholarships at 2 of these schools. ApplicantLab was hands down the best ~$300 I spent throughout the application process. Thank you Maria!

Course Manhattan Prep Manhattan GMAT 9-Session In-Person Prep Course
Instructor Daniel Patinkin
Location Los Angeles, CA USA
Manhattan was a good starting point that helped focus my GMAT strategy. The classes were good to teach the tips/tricks and high level thought strategy needed to wrap my head around basic quant & verbal but I don't think it was as helpful if you needed basic math & verbal skills teaching.
I actually used the online test diagnostics to hone in on the specific sub topics that I needed help in most and that was very useful to pinpoint my weak areas vs. haphazardly studying. On the more $$$ side but I would take the course again if I had to redo this whole process!
