Is Hourly Consultation the right choice for me?If your application needs are more à la carte than all-you-can-eat, then Hourly Consultation is your ideal pick. It's like ordering your favorite dish rather than going for the full buffet. Maybe your essays are on point, but your resume needs some polishing. Or perhaps, you've aced everything but the nerve-racking interview round. It could even be that one nagging essay that's giving you sleepless nights. Whatever your specific hurdle, Hourly Consultation allows you to tackle it head-on, giving you the personalized attention you need, exactly where you need it.

What's your success rate?It's a common question, yet it's as clear as mud. What does 'success' even mean? Is it getting into any one of your target schools? Or all of them? Perhaps just that last-minute 'safety school' you applied to? Here's my take: success isn't a uniform concept, nor should it be. The issue with defined success rates is they create skewed incentives. They might push consultants to nudge you towards 'safer' choices - schools they think you'll easily get into - rather than the ones you truly aspire for. But I'm not in the business of taking the path of least resistance. I'm here to help you reach for your dreams, not just the low hanging fruits. So, while some might consider it sacrilegious, I don't dwell on success rates. I believe every applicant is unique, not a statistic. My role is to offer input for your decision-making, not to churn out cookie-cutter success stories. And finally, just because 95% of previous candidates have been successful, does that really promise you a 95% shot? Not quite. You're not a clone of a previous candidate - you're you. And that's who we're going to present to your dream schools.

Is the Interview Preparation Package the right choice for me?Taking control of the spotlight during an MBA interview requires more than mere words—it's about commanding presence through your speaking style and body language too. The Interview Preparation Package is tailored to individuals who want to excel in these crucial areas. It offers strategy sessions, mock interviews, and feedback focused not only on content but also on the subtleties of communication, such as tone, pace, and body language. If your goal is to make an impactful impression in your MBA interview and communicate your passion and potential effectively, then this package is your ticket to success.

Will you write my essays?The answer is a resounding no. It would be unethical, unhelpful, and frankly, a disservice to you. Here's why: The MBA admissions committees are interested in hearing your unique voice, not mine packaged as yours. My role is not to be a ghostwriter, but a catalyst, helping to sharpen and amplify your own voice in all aspects of your application. After all, this is your journey; I'm just here to help you tell it better.
-
Can you promise me a golden ticket to business school?Let's be real – guarantees are just a flashy distraction. Any admission consulting service promising guaranteed acceptance is likely to steer you towards 'safer' choices, rather than the schools you're truly aiming for. My role isn't to spruce up my own track record, but to help you craft compelling applications for your dream MBA programs. I focus on your chosen schools, engage in honest discussions about potential hurdles, and work relentlessly to ensure your applications are as robust as they can be. A refund won't secure you a place in your target school, but a dedicated consultant truly invested in your success just might.

Why are your rates lower than some of the big consulting firms?As a single consultant operating independently, I am not encumbered by the overhead costs often associated with larger consulting firms. This gives me the flexibility to deliver exceptional service at a more accessible price point. Moreover, I firmly believe that quality guidance shouldn't be out of reach for aspirants because of prohibitive costs. My mission is to level the playing field and provide all aspiring MBA students with the opportunity to present their best selves to their dream schools.
-
How much time do I need to invest in my applications?Well, it's not exactly a 'one-size-fits-all' scenario. Your timeline will depend on several factors, including your target schools' deadlines, your writing skills, and your other obligations. Some clients work with me for six months, others for a brisk six weeks. If you're seeking comprehensive guidance – from school selection through interview prep – you'll naturally need a larger time investment than if you're just looking for help with specific application components, like essay editing or resume polishing. Remember, the more time you can devote to the process, the better. However, I am here to adapt to your unique timeline and work with you to make every minute count.

Is the Pre-Application Strategy Package the right choice for me?The journey to an MBA starts long before you pen your first application essay. It begins with defining your career aspirations, making strategic choices, and understanding how an MBA fits into your grand scheme. That's where the Pre-Application Strategy Package steps in. It's designed for those who are in the early stages of contemplating an MBA. This package assists you in aligning your career choices with your long-term goals, establishing a clear roadmap for the journey ahead. So, if you are looking to set the stage right for your MBA adventure, this package might be the perfect companion for you.

Do you have secret handshakes with the admissions committee?As exciting as that might sound, the reality is no. It's a common myth that connections to the admissions committee can swing decisions in your favor. Truth is, every reputable MBA program values integrity and fair assessment of applicants. What I do offer, though, is a deep understanding of the admission process and the different nuances of each business school. With this knowledge, I can help you align your unique story and achievements with what each school values in its applicants, thereby enhancing your chances of standing out in the highly competitive application process.
-
How many schools should I apply to?That's a bit like asking how many sushi rolls one should have for dinner - it entirely depends on your appetite. However, on an average, my clients usually apply to four to five schools. But, every MBA hopeful is a unique story. I work one-on-one with you, evaluating your aspirations, personality, risk tolerance, and other pivotal factors to identify that 'sweet spot' in terms of application numbers. Moreover, I help you choose the right schools that align with your goals. At the end of the day, it's about attentive listening and prioritizing your interests. So, the magic number of applications? It's all about what feels right for you.
