Step 1: Building the Foundation
You will fill our our extensive Building the Foundation document to answer key application questions. The document is critical as it offers:
1. A structured way to comb through your life experiences, such as your motivations, influences, strengths, weaknesses and career aspirations, to ensure you don’t miss any data points vital for application building.
2. A reference point for you during the entire application process, all the way up till the interviews.
3. An indispensable tool for us to understand you so we can help you build your best possible applications.
Once you fill out the template, we review the information and dive deeper into your profile over an hour-long phone call.
We will follow this up with another hour-long discussion on your career goals.
Step 2: B-school Selection
We will create a customized list of eight to ten b-schools based on your career goals, academic objectives and fit. We expect you to research these and finalize the ones where you will take our help.
Step 3: Essay Guidance and Review
We leverage our knowledge of the admissions requirements across b-schools and years of experience in guiding applicants effectively to help you select your best stories for answering essay prompts.
Once you share your essay drafts with us, we will provide you with a detailed review of the content, style, and structure. This process is iterated several times until we feel satisfied with the quality of the essays.
As a policy, we do not limit the number of essay reviews. Instead, we push you to improve them until they sound compelling.
Step 4: Guidance and Review of Other Application Components:
Resume
We start perfecting the resume early in the process so that you have it ready to share with b-school adcoms, alumni and students while connecting with them for your b-school research.
Over multiple iterations, we will help you create a resume that showcases your leadership skills, achievements and impact and is relevant to your post-MBA career goal.
Recommendations
We will help you select your recommenders and create reference documents of your strengths, weaknesses, and achievements, which your recommenders can use to write compelling recommendations.
Application form
As the required essays are becoming fewer and shorter, the online form has evolved into a crucial space where you can share vital information that does not appear elsewhere in the application. Several applicants tend to copy-paste parts of their essays and resume over here, missing an opportunity to offer a new perspective.
The form is an integral part of the overall application strategy and not just an administrative task to be completed by the applicant. We will ensure you pay due attention to this section and will guide you appropriately.
Step 5: Editing and Finalization
We will edit your essays for word limit, grammar and typo errors and give you finished, glossy essays ready for submission.
Step 6: Interview preparation
We will share a list of interview questions for your target school(s).
You will have a practice round with our consultant.
Once you have prepared, you will have a 30-40 minute mock interview. After the mock, you will receive our detailed feedback on your performance.
Our interview preparation service is included in the 5-b school package. We offer two interviews as part of this service. If you sign up for a smaller package, you will be required to take the interview service separately.
Who is it for:
This service is for applicants who wish to leave no stone unturned in submitting their best possible applications. This is an intensive service that requires hours of close collaboration between you and our team members. We follow a highly personalized approach and will guide you through every aspect of the application like it were our own. Therefore, we offer you unlimited support and frequent communication to help you put together a compelling application.
Packages:
The fee structure is based on the number of schools you want to apply to with our personalized service.
We recommend targeting five to seven b-schools and hitting an early deadline to maximize your chances of admission. Choosing an appropriate multi-school package in advance helps you achieve this at a lower price point.
