At Menlo Coaching, we’ve had strong results working with Indian applicants from elite backgrounds—particularly those at large family businesses, private equity and venture capital firms, or other high-end employers.
But we want to be upfront:
We’re not the best fit for every Indian applicant.
Our pricing is significantly higher than local firms—and may be out of reach based on typical Indian salaries.
We focus on a small subset of Indian applicants and do not have broad admissions data across the entire applicant pool.
…and you think you may be a fit for our services, feel free to reach out directly at [email protected].
We often recommend MBA Crystal Ball, one of the most established and trusted MBA admissions consulting firms in India.
They’ve helped a wide range of applicants succeed at the M7, T10, and T25 programs—even those with challenges like low test scores, GPA issues, or career gaps.
“MCB made me fall in love with the application process.”

Are you wondering whether you’d be accepted at your target business schools? Because our Human-Powered calculator gives you an assessment for a real MBA admissions consultant, we can assess your profile holistically and in light of the latest developments in 2025 with respect to US policies on international students.
(For those of you who are impatient – skip to the calculator.)
Most “MBA admissions calculators” use rigid rules to predict your chances of success when applying to MBA programs. But in the end, the lengthy forms you fill out serve mainly to give the process a scientific appearance.
The guts of most MBA admissions calculators are actually quite simple. They are basically telling you:
It is no big surprise that predicted odds are higher for applicants who are applying in Round 1 with great stats, Ivy League undergraduate degrees and prestige employers.
If you are still at square one in planning your MBA, and didn’t know how your GPA and GMAT compare to the averages at MBA programs, or which undergraduate institutions are highly represented in MBA classrooms, these calculators may be telling you some new information.
But most serious MBA applicants already knew that having a great GPA, GMAT, and a successful career are major factors in MBA admissions decisions.
As a result, other calculators might be mildly informative at best—or might offer no insight beyond the obvious, at worst. They just don’t account for the complexity of your story, your goals, or the strategic choices you’ll need to make.
That’s where our Human-Powered MBA Admissions Calculator comes in.
When you fill out the form below, the expert coaches at Menlo Coaching will assess your chances of getting into your target business schools.
Because MBA admissions is a holistic process, we do need to ask a few questions that go beyond your basic stats. The more detail you give us, the better we can assess and advise you.
When you submit this form, we will email you with our feedback on your submission, plus educational content about MBA admissions and Menlo Coaching. This might include:
We never share your email address.
We regret that we cannot provide feedback on incomplete submissions. Giving quality advice requires detailed input about your background.
We’ll do it without the false precision of calculators that tell you that you have a “37% chance at Wharton.” Instead, you can expect us to tell you whether your target schools are:
Not only this, we will provide you with a few free educational materials that go beyond predicting your odds, and help you to understand how you can actually improve your odds of MBA admissions by taking the right steps (sample: 4 Secrets to Know Before Hiring an MBA Admissions Consultant).
One last word of caution: we are most familiar with MBA programs at the following business schools. If you’re applying outside this list, our feedback might not be as useful.

As we covered above, predicting your odds of admission to an MBA program cannot be done accurately based on any simple data set.
We’ve seen many applicants with supposedly fatal flaws in their candidacy go on to be admitted to Top 10 or Top 20 MBA programs. We’re talking about serious issues, like:
It goes without saying that each of these applicants had many good qualities beyond these issues, but most calculators would have predicted that the applicants would have almost zero chances of being admitted.
On the other hand, we receive numerous requests from applicants to perform a “ding analysis” after they applied unsuccessfully without using our services. And among that pile, there are numerous applicants with great MBA profiles who were declined, sometimes for unrealistic career plans, other times for attitudinal factors, and other times for just failing to tell their story in a memorable way. Calculators would have told these applicants that they were a sure thing at every school.
