A Quick Note for Indian Applicants

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.

If you’re currently working for a top-tier family business, PE/VC fund, or similar organization…

…and you think you may be a fit for our services, feel free to reach out directly at [email protected].

Looking for a Great Local Option?

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.

Highlights From Ross’s Story

#1 Crafting Stories and Interview Prep

As an engineer, Ross knew that writing was not his strength and he sought the support of Menlo Coaching to help him craft his personal stories. Moreover, as someone who was nervous speaking in interviews, Ross thought Menlo’s communication training was a helpful tool to break through that nervousness and prepare for his interviews. 

#2 Successfully Reapplying 

After being rejected to the schools he wanted to attend, Ross reapplied with the support of his coach, Yaron. Yaron knew the reapplication process well and helped him with the steps that needed to be followed to be successful. In the end, Ross received offers from both Northwestern and Booth, accepting the offer from Booth. 

#3 Choosing the Right School

If he could change anything, it would be to spend more time on choosing the right school for him, instead of applying to as many schools as possible. Ross believes that stretching himself out thin hurt him in some of the schools he applied to.
