- Never missed any timeline promised.
- Felt like I had a personal connection with the team.
- Communication lines were open all time; I could call them or text them anytime. (Major plus for me)

My experience with Expert's Global was very smooth and seamless. The team was always available to help me with any queries that I had. They also followed up with me in a timely manner to ensure that I was on track with the process and was getting help whenever I needed it. The well-defined teams at Experts Global worked very hard for all stages of the process from school selection to mock interviews. Their structured approach to the application process made it easier to apply to so many schools in the same round and also get quite a few admits. I am glad to have worked with them on my applications. :)

I am writing this review based on my experience alone - and I acknowledge that different people might have had different experiences with this same team. I have also discussed these issues directly with the Experts' Global (EG) Team multiple times - and they admitted to their faults and told me that they would address these concerns for future applicants. Whether or not they have improved in these areas - I do not know, but I sure hope so.

Cons:
1. Extremely sub-par resources and essays
I was planning on writing my own essays anyway and was looking to EG for basic guidance. I was shocked when I went through their drafts and resources. They were horrible. If the essay prompt was "When is Christmas?" EG's response was "Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" There was no correlation between their resources and the question being asked. There were tons of grammatical errors that even a 7th grader could spot. Worse, when I pointed these out to them, they did not even seem to realize that there was something wrong.
Moreover, they ask you to spend several days and they make you fill out lengthy questionnaires. They keep asking you for regular updates regarding your profile. But none of these are incorporated into your final story or final essays. What's the point in collecting all of that data if it is not going to be used? They simply share a generic cut, copy, paste draft.

2. No support at all - You are left on your own
When you start out, they share a detailed calendar/tracker sheet with milestones. It will look organized and good but do not fall for the trap. The EG team ticked off a few checkboxes like resume review, and (horrible) essay drafts and then completely disappeared. It was almost as if they didn't exist. I was left to fend for myself during the most crucial part of the application process. If you're looking for an admission consultant for support at every step, then this might not be the place.
When I pointed this out, they resorted to a blame game and instead of addressing my concerns, they just kept asking me why I did not approach them. I was busy, knee-deep in the work that I expected their help with. And though I raised concerns with the essay drafts thrice, their responses made it clear that they could not have cared less. Moreover, all the follow-ups and milestones that were mentioned in the initial sheet - most of them were not met and the team did not care about it either. (during the submissions time)

3. Problems with communication
There were numerous instances of terrible communication. Person 1 would call me and we would decide to do a particular thing or proceed in a certain way. Next time this topic comes up, this person would have absolutely no idea about what we were even talking about - and would give a completely opposite reply than what they gave the first time.

Pros:
The only pro for me was the Interview preparation.

I am sharing this review here on GMAT Club so it motivates the candidates to do their research and not fall for false promises by consultants like Experts Global. I felt trapped after making all the payments and there was nothing I could do. I have already shared my feedback with the EG team through emails and calls and I can only hope that things have improved now. Please do your research before proceeding. When I shared these points, their response for most of them was - "This usually doesn't happen, we don't know how it happened in your case". But it was already too late for me. And I cannot say how many others faced similar issues.

Another takeaway - do your own research on the schools you want to apply to. Do not blindly believe what they will tell you as they would want you to apply mostly to safe schools to boost the success rates. Do your research and discuss it with your consultant (if any).

tl;dr The conclusion is - Experts' Global did me more harm than good. Signing up with them resulted in an utter loss of precious time that I could otherwise have invested in more important aspects of my application. Through their resources and drafts, they also gave me a very wrong idea of what is expected. I had to learn on my own and prepare my applications accordingly. So, not only were they not putting me on the right path, but they were actively forcing me to walk on the wrong path. One that would have resulted in failure.

I opted for Expert's Global MBA Admissions Consulting Services as soon as I was done with my GMAT. Some of the key highlights of the team is their well planned schedule with milestones to keep the application process on track, a "reality check" with regards to the schools which I was planning to apply and a brainstorming session to cover the story of my life and career so far and how it can be synced with my post MBA career goals. Even though I opted for the service right when the Round 1 deadlines were around the corner, the team worked diligently to make sure I can apply to all the schools I was targeting for. They assessed my profile, helped me with my resume, specific essays for all the schools, interview preparations and almost anything I needed their guidance on.
Personally, I can't thank the team enough for their help which empowered me to get admissions from ISB, BU Questrom, Broad MSU and Schulich MBA in India program with multiple other results awaited.
My tip to anyone opting for the program would be to trust their process, stick to their milestones and listen to their honest analysis of the applicant's profile. They are one of the most highly approachable professionals I have worked with.

Hi All,
Last year, I started replanning my mid-career aspirations, and Executive MBA became the next best option, given my 15-year experience and other factors. With my busy schedule (as I am working full time), I wanted someone to hold my hand and do detailed planning & execution of the EMBA Preparation & Applications. Before signing up with them, I talked to Anchal, Akanksha, and many other fabulous folks at Expert Global. It turned out that Expert Global far exceeded my expectations in the organization, providing value in my application process and delivering the results. They developed a project plan with extreme details from their side and mine. They coached me at every junction and clarified every doubt that I had.
Their interview process is very rigorous and extremely helpful. I gave 4 mock interviews, and each mock interview helped me redefine my approach to applications.

I applied to 1) SC Johnson College of Business | Cornell University, 2) Duke University (Fuqua) & 3) University of Michigan--Ann Arbor (Ross).
To my surprise and with Expert global's fierce commitment to working with you, I got admitted in all 3.

The entire application process is excruciating and stressful, but it becomes manageable with the right guide, like Expert Global, and confidence starts kicking in soon.

If you want to reach out to me for further details, please feel free to email me at nickelmetal@gmail.com.

Thanks

I had taken the 15 test series and availed the admission consulting service of Experts Global and following was my experience of admissions consulting:

The admission consulting service i availed was for applying to 11 schools in the first round and out of 11 applications I received admits from three top-20 US schools with half scholarship, admit from one school with full scholarship and waitlist from another top-15 school. The well-defined teams at Experts Global worked very hard for all stages of the process from school selection to mock interviews. They were quite honest with me regarding the schools I could get into and should apply to based on my profile and post MBA goals. Their structured approach to the application process made it easier to apply to so many schools in the same round. Moreover, the mock interviews helped a lot with building confidence for facing the interviews at different schools.
Hence, I am glad to have chosen Experts Global to support me during my MBA application process!

I signed up for the end-to-end admissions consulting service with Experts Global after having availed of their GMAT prep course. As anyone here would know, the admissions process is rigorous, to say the least, but the EG team held my hand from the first conversation about my goals to preparing for joining the class after admission. I had targeted Round 1 and enrolled for the 4 school package with EG. What struck me first and foremost is how well structured and streamlined they made the whole process. From a live tracker with each step and deadlines thereof, to a dedicated point of contact for each stage. The team took the time to understand my abilities and motivations, and helped me craft authentic applications. What I appreciated the most about the team was their candour in offering advice. I appreciated the impartial and practical analysis of my profile which helped me understand my own candidacy better. Out of the 4 schools I applied to, I was admitted to 2 and waitlisted with 1, which is a great success rate. I certainly recommend Experts Global to anyone looking to avail of end to end admissions consulting service.

Profesional service right from start to finish.
Experts global has a standardized process that helps you in meeting application deadlines and improve the quality of your essays.
The GMAT prep material, especially the mocks aslo helped me.
Since the consulting is end-to-end, you can begin your interview prep as soon as you're done with the application submission.The mock interview services also helped me in getting a sense of the actual interview process.The whole journey is tracked on an excel tracker that lends a structure to the application process.
I got an admit in ISB and the help from the Expert's Global team
was a big enabler.
Go for it!!

I would say the whole application process is really quite tough for me, as I have not thought about myself before applying to the schools for MBA. and I even didn't know where to start with, but with Expert Global, they structured the whole application processes and recommended steps I need to take to gain most from the introspection process, finally I am able to make it into my dream school! with a GMAT score of 640.

the whole process was a little bit stressful for me at the beginning, as there are really a lot of questions I need to answer, but I realized later, that answering all these questions are necessary for me to know myself thoroughly!

their service is a great help for my applications and they are always able to respond my queries within 2 days! that is not something easy to do from my point of view.

I came in contact with Experts' Global team after reading their reviews on gmatclub and I can say it with full confidence that I haven't been let down. What you sow is what you reap and the team of experts' global believes in this philosophy.

They aren't the ones who will spoon feed you but will make you search your soul which is a very important part of the application process as it also prepares you for road ahead.

Staff is highly professional, extremely quick in resolution and very very supportive. At no point in time, I felt I am in wrong hands. I really liked their core essay approach for the application where they just prepare you beforehand for the essays like WHY MBA etc. and their interview prep is also quite good (they are so thorough in their interview prep that you won't feel the need to commit to more than 3 mocks if done sincerely but their support is endless).

As an opportunity for improvement, I would just wish if the writing team could discuss the stories that an applicant writes because sometimes MS word iterations are too mechanical and unnecessarily increase the communications around the same subject. Moreover, it is always good to connect and brainstorm stories and their structure to bring in the emotions and actual message on paper. However, the end product is still pretty good.

I would strongly recommend Experts' Global to anyone who is willing to invest in himself/herself and at the same time learn in the process and from the process.
