With close to four years of experience working in a PSU, I decided to pursue an MBA and apply to Indian and US premier B-schools in Round 1, buoyed by my GMAT FE score of 705. This journey led me to AE, thanks to their outstanding reviews on GMAT Club and elsewhere. From my very first conversation with the founder, Aseem Bansal, I felt reassured—he, too, came from a PSU background and understood my concerns about gap years.
AE’s meticulous approach stood out from the get-go. They matched me with a lead counsellor who not only had a similar background but also had successfully guided clients to my target B-schools. The brainstorming sessions were insightful and instrumental in connecting the dots of my story, helping me craft compelling essays. The STAR format, emphasized by AE, brought out the best versions of my experiences, ensuring that no important aspect of my journey was missed. The essays were thoroughly reviewed multiple times by the experts, who provided feedback leading to multiple iterations and ultimately a better version.
Throughout the application process, AE’s team was incredibly supportive. The lead counsellor, mentor, and QA team were available 24/7, addressing every query with patience and expertise. Navigating the exhaustive application journey felt manageable with their words of motivation, frequent follow-ups, and personalized guidance.
One of the game-changers for me was the mentor connect session. This provided school-specific insights and honest feedback during mock interviews, which were crucial in helping me outshine in the real tests. AE’s commitment to my success was evident throughout, making my application journey positive and enriching.
My experience with AE has been immensely rewarding, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to future aspirants looking for a dedicated admission consultancy.
