Our knowledgeable and experienced MBA admissions consulting team helps you push for more, find your voice, and tell your story in the most compelling way possible.
Helping motivated applicants win admission to every top 20 business school since 2012.
It’s natural to have blind spots about your strengths and weaknesses, and also to doubt that admissions officers at your target business schools are interested in what you have to say. As consultants, we’re here to get you through that.
Whether you think your experience is too traditional, or not traditional enough, our MBA admissions consulting team will help you present a solid, honest, strategically crafted profile, that maximizes your chances of admission into your target MBA program.
After working as a tutor for 15 years, I’ve run across more MBA admissions consultants than I can count. Alice and David are among the very best… I’m thrilled whenever one of my GMAT or GRE students manages to land on their client list.
If your network doesn’t include any graduates of top MBA schools, it can be tough to figure out where to start, or what you might be missing.
If you’re switching careers, starting your MBA late, or coming from a non-traditional background, your application requires expert advice.
If you’re applying without professional MBA admissions consulting support, the stress of the video essay and interview components can be quite overwhelming.
While you can easily obtain a checklist of a business school’s required admission documents – even a basic explanation of what they want you to say or do for each piece – it’s much harder to figure out things like what admissions officers really want when they ask for your resume, or why they actually ask you for recommenders.
Each business school, from Harvard and Stanford on down, has a slightly different angle or motivation, and there’s a world of misinformation out there, trying to pull you in this or that direction, not always with your best interests in mind.
We pride ourselves in keeping abreast of the nuances of each business school’s admissions requirements, adding context to what they want by helping you understand why they want it and how you can best show them that you have it.
Trusted by applicants from leading pre-MBA firms.
Our consulting team takes the time to really get to know you – your story, your strengths, your plans, your dreams. It’s the only way we know how to do good work.
When you put a solid effort into your application, you might be surprised to find that you’re not only accepted to your dream school, but also offered merit-based scholarships.
Along with our realistic mock interviews, you get 1-on-1 communications coaching with top public speaking coach Eduardo Placer, a former professional actor.
Did you ever wonder how MBA admissions committees really behave when you’re not looking? We promise that our graphic novel will entertain you and reveal some secrets about the process. (Admission offer to HBS not guaranteed…)
The overwhelming majority of our clients are admitted to one of their target schools. We help applicants to select schools that are in line with their qualifications and don’t hesitate to recommend against particular schools (or even against an MBA). We’re happy to help you apply to a stretch school if you understand the odds and do so in the context of a balanced list of schools.
Having said that, we recommend against using success rate as the main way to select a consultant because this metric is easily manipulated by either a) taking only perfect candidates, or b) convincing applicants to apply to easy schools. Furthermore, there is no satisfying way for applicants to verify claimed success rates.
Most clients pay a low five figure amount for comprehensive support on their application process. We can give you an exact quote after a consultation once we know where and when you are applying.
Interview preparation, which includes a 2-hour communications training session, two mock interviews and access to our self-paced interview curriculum is $2,500 for most schools, and $3,000 for HBS because of the extra time required to prepare realistic questions.
We don’t hire our consultants based on Admissions Committee experience. And while some of our consultants do have MBAs, we don’t see it as a requirement. Instead, we hire consultants who are great writers and storytellers.
In the end, creating a winning application is a persuasive writing exercise, and strong writing and editing skills are the most important qualities here. Our consultants combine their talent for communication with a deep knowledge of the MBA admissions process, along with insights into which types of candidates appeal to which schools—ultimately, these are the abilities that will help you get into a top program.
We’ve gone to great lengths constructing an MBA admissions consulting service that allows us to make the somewhat audacious offer of “unlimited coaching” – including filming over 50 professional video lessons and intentionally keeping our client-to-consultant ratio as low as possible.
I chose to hire an admissions consultant because this was really my one shot: I really just felt like I wanted to put my best foot forward and make one really good run at the application process to get a great outcome.
Our consultants use Basecamp to send reminders, organize action items, track your application and make sure we’re staying on or ahead of schedule for every aspect of your MBA application process.
We have gone to great lengths collecting as much data, insight and feedback as possible about the admissions process at each of the top business schools.
The group component of our admissions consulting program is a motivational highlight for many, providing an early start on building their high-calibre MBA network.
Based on feedback and reviews from our many amazing past clients, we know that our continued success owes a lot to our intentionally low client-to-consultant ratio.
To maintain this high level of support and personal attention, we limit ourselves to working with only a small percentage of the many promising and ambitious people that come to us each year, inevitably turning away a number of people we would also have loved to work with.
Simply put, our consulting calendar fills up quickly – with many clients booking a year or more in advance. If you know you want to work with us, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Within the first few minutes of going through my profile, my coach was able to be incredibly honest with me about where my weaknesses were and what my strengths were. And in that short call I learned more about the MBA application process than I had in the entire time researching it by myself. I just felt immediately reassured, learning what I needed to do next and what it would take to move forward.
We’ll review your application and send you personalized feedback. If we think we’ll be a good match for your needs, we’ll set up a free consultation.
At the end of a consultation, we’ll quote a package just for you. Most clients pay a low five-figure amount.
