Our expert consultants empower you by matching you to business schools that help you achieve your goals.
Step 01: Pre-application Strategy & Storyboarding
Our consultants evaluate your academic strengths through GMAT scores and undergraduate GPA and identify your personal and professional strengths and weaknesses. They also assess your work experience, extracurricular activities and your leadership profile. They help you set specific and realistic goals, keeping in mind your pre-MBA work trajectory, long-term and short-term aspirations.
Step 02: Individual Essay Brainstorming, Writing & Editing
With our expert support, you will learn how to translate personal and professional experiences into impactful narratives that reflect your strengths, while also connecting with the unique ethos of each business school. Essays go through several rounds of in-house reviews for further refinement. Our team’s goal is to get you the best advice with diverse viewpoints on what really makes you unique.
Step 03: Recommendation & Resume Guidance
Our consultants guide you on choosing the right recommender and provide guidelines for impactful letters that help you stand out from the applicant pool. You will receive expert advice on generic and school-specific resumes that highlight your academic accomplishments, impact and leadership experiences. Our specialists also apply their experience to help you with scholarship applications, if needed.
Step 04: Finalise & Submit
Our consultants employ a team-based approach to review the final essays and application components. Our holistic approach ensures you receive personalised attention and feedback until the very last step of the process.
Step 05: Mock Interviews
Once you submit your application, our consultants start preparing you for the interviews. After prepping you with our question bank compiled from real applicant interviews over the last 3-5 years, our mock interview sessions give you a feel of what to expect from the university. The sessions include two video-recorded mock interviews, a thorough analysis of your performance and one-on-one recorded feedback to highlight strengths and weaknesses.
