There’s a perfect way to tell every story. We help you find yours.

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.

No MBA network?

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.

Weak applicant profile?

If you’re switching careers, starting your MBA late, or coming from a non-traditional background, your application requires expert advice.

Nervous about interviews?

If you’re applying without professional MBA admissions consulting support, the stress of the video essay and interview components can be quite overwhelming.

Get the truth about the MBA application process and what matters to Admissions Committees

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.

Unlimited 1-on-1 Coaching

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.

Structured Process / Timeline

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.

School-Specific Insights

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.

Group icon

Regular Group Meetings

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.

Over the years, we’ve helped a lot of
happy applicants get into top MBA programs.

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!
