Pricing: MBA Admissions Consultation and GRE/GMAT teaching
What DO THE CONSULTATIONS INVOLVE?
- Our MBA admissions consulting starts with dedicated initial contact hours to deeply understand your personal story, academic background, professional journey, and future career aspirations. Our goal is to capture the authentic narrative that makes you unique and positions you strongly for your target MBA programs.
- In the All-In Model (see below), we provide you with a detailed reflection document (approximately 20-40 pages). This comprehensive document helps you clearly articulate and consolidate your experiences, achievements, goals, and motivations for pursuing an MBA. This serves as the foundational element guiding our structured, focused, and productive consultations.
- We then conduct thorough research tailored specifically to your profile and ambitions, identifying MBA programs, faculty members, electives, clubs, and resources that align precisely with your career goals. Depending on your chosen model—focused research in the Enrolment Model (see below) or extensive research in the All-In Model—our research varies in depth and scope.
- In our All-In Model, we meticulously analyse schools’ unique cultures, specific industry connections, notable alumni networks, and detailed curricular structures. We identify particular professors whose work and teaching philosophies align closely with your professional aspirations, enabling us to highlight strong connections in your applications. This deep alignment can significantly enhance your application’s distinctiveness and effectiveness.
- In contrast, the Enrolment Model offers targeted research, covering essential aspects such as program fit, career outcomes, and notable faculty without an exhaustive deep-dive.
- If you are pursuing scholarships, your consultant thoroughly evaluates your profile against the scholarship criteria, recommending suitable scholarships you may not have previously considered. Leveraging insights from previous successful scholarship recipients, we help position your application competitively.
- Through collaborative, in-depth discussions, your consultant will help refine your narrative, jointly editing your Statement of Purpose (SOP), MBA application essays, and resumes. This process involves multiple rounds of thoughtful revisions, brainstorming sessions, and meticulous fine-tuning to ensure your essays clearly reflect your distinct profile and ambitions.
- The process concludes with a comprehensive final review and discussion to polish your application to each school. If you choose to work with us on multiple applications (we recommend applying to at least three programs), we replicate this rigorous process, tailoring each application to the specific strengths, values, and characteristics of each MBA program.
- We also offer a separate pricing option for those applying to Indian School of Business (ISB).
- Teaching prices have been listed below consultation prices.
