I worked with AE (Admit Expert) for Fall ’24 intake and received admits from Columbia (100K$ Scholarship), Tuck (20K$ Scholarship), and Kellogg. The entire team was entirely invested in my journey, right from the onboarding call to the interviews. Coming from a technical background, I leaned heavily on AE’s team for advice on many aspects of my application, from goal statements, school selection to essays. The QA mentor consistently sought feedback and ensured that I was paired with a consultant perfectly suited to my preferences. My consultant gave detailed feedback on my essays and raised insightful probe questions with every iteration, helping me find my own unique voice in the essays. With multiple levels of feedback provided by consultants, QA mentor and school mentors, I found AE’s platinum package a great value for money service. I highly recommend AE’s team for prospective applicants.

I took MBA admission consulting services from Admit Expert for applying to LBS. They understood my profile, went through multiple iterations of narrative building and essay editing, and finally we were able to submit a great application, which might not have been possible without the guidance of Admit Expert team. I’d definitely recommend Admit Expert to anyone looking to get into a good B-school.

I received expert guidance from Admit Expert during the Deferred MBA admissions process at top US business schools. My consultant was really helpful; he gave me unbiased feedback on the story I wanted to tell as well as the specifics of the MBA programs. The fact that my consultant had firsthand experience with the Deferred MBA process and could provide extremely detailed and customized guidance for my application was the most influential part of my experience.
Furthermore, Admit Expert’s wide network of former students from target universities turned out to be a big benefit. They put me in touch with alumni for mock interviews and application critiques. This one-on-one help was invaluable in helping me tailor my application to each school.

My decision to pursue a global MBA was quite last minute. I had already missed Round 1 deadlines and had onboarded Admit Expert in mid-October to help me with my Round 2 applications. At the time of applying (January 2024) I had 3.5 years of experience in consulting and was working in McKinsey Client Capabilities.
I had a great experience with Admit Expert overall. Given my last minute decision to apply, I was quite stressed about managing the process alongside a full time job and without having a test score. My consultant, however, was very supportive and kept me motivated about my profile and outcomes. There are three things that I particularly appreciated about Admit Expert. Firstly, the team made a genuine effort to understand my background and aspirations before mapping a consultant. This was especially true for school selection where they did not force me into right/wrong options but enabled me to make an informed decision on my own without biases. Special shoutout to my consultant who kept things straight with me by pushing me when I could do better but also offering sincere appreciation and encouragement when I did well. Secondly, the ‘brainstorming template’ and the iterations I went over with my consultant to arrive at a thorough version was one of the most helpful processes. Given I had not changed jobs or updated my resume in a long time, it helped me immensely in recalling and capturing ‘impact stories’ that I had very easily forgotten or discounted over time. Lastly, Admit Expert was truly ‘value for money’ for me. I know of people who spent 2-3x on admissions consultants for pretty much the exact same process and outcomes, and could not have asked for a better deal!
I would definitely recommend Admit Expert to anyone looking at T15s. In the end I had offers from Tuck, Yale SOM, and Michigan Ross, all with partial scholarships!

Ayush
I’m incredibly grateful to Admit Expert for helping me secure admission to London Business School. I sought their assistance for my applications to both Bayes and LBS, and I’m thrilled to have received offers from both schools.
Applying in the later rounds (3rd and 4th) was daunting, and I needed someone who could work quickly and dedicate substantial time to my applications. Admit Expert stepped up, assuring me they could meet my tight deadlines. They streamlined their process to help me manage my timeline effectively.
My consultant was exceptional—smart, strategic, and insightful. She knew exactly how to craft a compelling narrative, helping me think creatively and stand out in my application. Her advice was both academically enriching and highly practical.
The personalized support I received was outstanding. The Admit Expert team was always available, ready to answer questions, provide feedback, and adapt to my needs. When I requested a consultant change to better match my background, they handled the transition smoothly and efficiently.
I highly recommend Admit Expert to anyone looking to get into their dream schools. Their expertise and commitment truly made all the difference.

Comprehensive and Effective Package
I opted for the 5 B-school package, including interview preparation, with Admit Expert. Out of the five schools I applied to, I received two direct offers (Tuck School of Business and Cornell SC Johnson Graduate School of Management) and two waitlists. Admit Expert’s thorough and effective guidance played a crucial role in my success.
Personalized Guidance and Support
As someone who was clueless about where to start after taking my GMAT, Admit Expert came in like a huge support system. They allowed me to be completely honest about my uncertainties and guided me meticulously from step one. They helped me shortlist schools by considering which schools’ values aligned with my own, where I would fit in better, and my career goals. The interview preparation, including mock interviews with school alumni, was particularly invaluable. The feedback and guidance I received were instrumental in my success. Everyone I worked with genuinely wanted to help me succeed, and I am truly grateful for their support.
Flexibility and Accommodation
Admit Expert was very accommodating and flexible throughout the process. Upon my request, they were happy to arrange additional mock interviews even after I had used up my designated number. Additionally, when I requested a change of consultant during my application stage, they were more than accommodating and made the transition smoothly.
Heartfelt Appreciation
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ayush, Sivaranjani, and Rohan for their close attention to my application and valuable feedback. I am also grateful to all the school alumni who provided their insights during my interview preparation. Most importantly, I would like to thank Aseem, the founder of Admit Expert, for creating such an amazing, supportive, and flexible process for prospective students. Everyone associated with Admit Expert is dedicated and experienced, committed to helping you succeed in your application.

I am glad I chose Admit Expert to help me with my MBA application process. Their extensive experience and knowledge of the admissions process really helped me to identify the gaps in my profile and tailor my applications to the requirements of each school.
Their lead consultant was exceptionally effective in helping me to refine my applications and bring out the strengths in my profile. I was blown away by their editing skills and attention to detail – they really went above and beyond to ensure that my applications were the best they could be.
Despite facing discouragement from people around me because of my just 2 years of work experience, Admit Expert’s team really pushed me to apply this year, and I am so glad that I did. Thanks to their expert guidance, I was able to secure a full scholarship admission at NYU Stern and reach the interview stages of all the schools I applied to with them. Although I was waitlisted at Haas, I know that their support and guidance made a huge difference in helping me get as far as I did. Their continued guidance throughout the waitlist process is praiseworthy.
Overall, I would highly recommend Admit Expert’s MBA consulting services to anyone looking to pursue an MBA. They were always ready and willing to help, and gave me a comprehensive picture of all the schools to help me decide which ones I should aim for. Thank you, Admit Expert, for all of your hard work and support throughout this process!

I took help from Admit Expert for my US b-school admissions process. Right from the beginning of the process, I had the liberty to take the process in the direction I preferred. I was offered a catalogue of lead consultants to choose from, post which I had chats with a selected few whose schools portfolio of successful clients’ admits matched my school preferences. I chose my lead consultant with due guidance from chief operations officer at Admit Expert. My lead consultant matched my wave length and eventually mentored me in more ways than one. Instead of being a mechanical array of action steps to be followed, the process was loaded with human touch – empathy, understanding, and conflict resolution.
My lead consultant & I touched base almost everyday via her feedback points on my stories/ essays in a Google doc and she was always up for a call when needed, providing me comfort and peace that someone has got my back at all times. To give an example of the constant support I got – my lead consultant lives out of Seattle while I am in India and sometimes I would text her in the middle of my day (wee hours of morning for her: 3-4 AM), expecting to receive a response once she wakes up as per PST. However, she used text me back within 30 mins irrespective of her timezone. The support is unparalleled.
The multiple level of reviews on my essays from my lead consultant, Quality check from Quality Assurance Mentors, and then from school mentors (alumni of the schools I applied to) helped me gain confidence that my essays are tight and would appease to people with varied perspectives. The different school mentors that reviewed my essays were well acquainted with the ideal essay structure that the school expects and offered me critical guidance. The editing team came to my rescue in wrapping my essay content into the word limit provided by schools. This came extremely handy during last minute submissions when I ran over the word limit in an attempt to convey a lot in my essays but had a word limit to adhere to.
Once I got interview calls, my lead consultant went far overboard her expected scope of responsibilities to help me prepare adequately for my interviews right from guiding me for the date to be chosen for my interviews to suggesting me to drop thank you notes to my interviewers post the interview, and everything in between.
Once I converted few schools, she helped me choose between them based on my post mba goals, the community and culture of the schools
All in all, I felt ample support and received more than enough help in all areas of my admission process and I want to thank admit expert including my lead consultant, quality reviewers, all the school mentors, and the editing team to help me convert 3 business schools – UNC Kenan Flagler with $50,000 scholarship , Indiana Kelley with $80,000 scholarship , and Darden with $40,000 scholarship.
I strongly recommend Admit Expert to anyone aspiring to make it to their dream b-schools.

Admit Expert was the only consultation service I knew that provided school-specific mentors who helped me tailor my application to each school. This drastically reduced time needed to research programs, allowing me to instead focus on my GMAT and polishing my essays. The support of the school-specific mentors, combined with the fair price and a fantastic lead mentor meant that I got in Kellogg, my dream program. Thanks Admit Expert!

Hello all – if you are wondering what the right career path for you is, whether an MBA fits your aspirations and what B-Schools you should target — Admit Expert is your answer.
I am a software developer in a Swiss Investment bank, with a work experience of 5 years. I have a 730 GMAT Classic.
Initial conversations with friends and family brought me to an erroneous conclusion that my profile is by all means average and I should not target top B-Schools.
A demo call with one of the consultants from Admit Expert changed my perspective completely, as they mentioned hard stats and scores are only one portion of the application, and one should view their profile holistically.
Admit Expert’s deep dive-process allowed me to introspect into the hidden instances of my life that I never knew highlighted managerial attributes suited for an MBA application – whether for an essay response or for an interview answer.
Through Admit Expert, I got a major boost in confidence and was able to become the champion of my stories, rather than just a character in those.
With the regular reviews conducted by my consultant, QA lead and mentor, I was able to crack the UVA Darden application, securing an admit in R1.
Joining Admit Expert was the best decision in my MBA application journey, and I would highly recommend it to everyone else stepping in this daunting yet exciting journey. Admit Expert’s guidance converts fear to inquisitiveness.

Dreams do come true. At least in my case, they did. I could write an entire essay on this roller coaster of a journey that I went through. However, in the reader’s interest, I will keep it short.
As a 35-year-old mid-career professional working for a development bank in India, I knew that I was swimming against the tide in applying to the top FT MBA programs.
However, with the help of Aseem Sir, Gunjan Ma’am, Rohan Sir and other members of admit experts I was able to defy the odds and get an admit from NYU-Stern. Aseem sir kept faith in me while we mutually decided the schools that I needed to apply to , Gunjan ma’am was instrumental in helping me craft essays which were authentic yet crisp and Rohan was always there to provide any support I needed in terms of logistics.
For anyone out there vying for admits this admission season, I would say only one thing, ‘no school is a moon shot for you’. Hope you get a mentor who believes in you , like I did (in Admit Expert).

I came to Admit Expert in January after being rejected from NYU Stern’s MBA program. I was determined to do whatever it took to obtain acceptance and seeked help from Admit Expert. Aseem and his team were very thoughtful in curating a specific plan for me to improve my MBA application. They gave me recommendations on how to improve it on the first call and outlined how they will help me achieve the result I was seeking. After I started working with Admit Expert, I had numerous calls with my admissions counselor to improve my essays and resume. The Admit Expert team was able to give clear guidance on how to craft my NYU MBA application. I am thrilled that I will be enrolling this Fall into Stern’s MBA program.

Aseem takes a keen interest from Day 1 in matching the student with the right Consultant based on personal factors like target schools, GMAT score etc.
I had worked with a Tuck alum, who immensely helped me in drafting a solid application. The consultant quoted examples of past students and her own story, helping me understand how to put my best foot forward. We focused on portraying the honest version of myself, elaborating on my strengths and mentioning how I am working on my weaknesses. The timely sync ups and follow-ups prompted me to pursue my application even more energetically.
AdmitExpert also provides an option to opt for a final edit by another Consultant – which actually gives a third-party perspective and helps cover loopholes or unexplained parts of the application (if any).
All-in-all, it was a seamless experience and AdmitExpert helped me get admits to my top preferences (Darden, Yale SOM and Cornell)

I embarked on the journey to pursue my MBA during July 2023. Initially, I had decided to apply to a few schools on my own as I had earlier applied for an MS (which I couldn’t attend due to Covid-19) on my own and was able to secure admits to the schools I had opted for. But I was flat-out rejected from the 2 schools I had applied to for the Round 1 deadline. I was in a very perturbed state and was considering whether I should be trying for this intake at all. I happened to stumble upon Admit Expert when I was browsing the internet and I decided to give it a shot. I posted an enquiry online and was able to schedule a session with Aseem who explained to me about the entire admission process and also what the firm will offer me in order to secure the admits I wanted. I joined the Platinum 3-school package and was onboarded with a consultant, with whom I was in constant touch with throughout.
To say the help offered by the team at Admit Expert was helpful would be an understatement. Being a working professional meant I had little time to spare. But AE’s consultants were still very flexible and were able to help me draft my essays and polish my profile to the best of my abilities. There was no spoonfeeding involved but rather they helped guide me towards the goals I wanted. This really helped me write the best stories which helped create a good impression on the Adcoms of the schools I applied to. Even once I cleared the initial rounds, they helped set me up with mock interviews to help replicate the scenario as it would play out on the actual interview day. The feedback which they offered was crucial and it helped me ace the interview and receive an admit at one of the schools which I had prioritized. They also assigned a person to help apply for scholarships, with whose help I was able to successfully obtain one, as well.
I have only positive things to say about my experience with AE and would whole-heartedly recommend this platform for all those, who like me, were looking for guidance but were unsure where exactly to look. I will be attending IE Business School, Madrid for the January 2025 intake and would really like to thank Aseem, my lead consultant and all the other stakeholders who were involved with me during this journey.
I embarked on the journey to pursue my MBA during July 2023. Initially, I had decided to apply to a few schools on my own as I had earlier applied for an MS (which I couldn’t attend due to Covid-19) on my own and was able to secure admits to the schools I had opted for. But I was flat-out rejected from the 2 schools I had applied to for the Round 1 deadline. I was in a very perturbed state and was considering whether I should be trying for this intake at all. I happened to stumble upon Admit Expert when I was browsing the internet and I decided to give it a shot. I posted an enquiry online and was able to schedule a session with Aseem who explained to me about the entire admission process and also what the firm will offer me in order to secure the admits I wanted. I joined the Platinum 3-school package and was onboarded with a consultant, with whom I was in constant touch with throughout.

Arnav
Hi everyone, my name is Arnav. I am from Delhi and will be attending the IMBA September 2024 intake at IE.
I would like to give you some context about my situation when I joined Admit Expert. I started my MBA application in the last week of December and had limited time to apply to schools, as some had deadlines in the first week of January and others in February. Hence, choosing a good consultancy firm was my main priority if I wanted to pursue an MBA in the September 2024 intake.
I am writing this review to help others choose a good consulting company out of the many available. Reading other students’ reviews was the only way I was able to shortlist a reliable consulting company, in my case, Admit Expert.
To be honest, at the start I was a bit worried that I might be used as a last-minute cash cow, but all my worries went away once I had shortlisted the schools, filled out the brainstorm form, and my lead consultant was assigned.
My lead consultant really went out of his way to help me in every way he could. Despite being on a strict timeline, he was always available, be it at 7 am in the morning or 12 pm at night. He made sure that my essays were on point and really helped me bring out my story, irrespective of the number of edits needed.
The mock interviews were a game-changer. I could see the difference between the first and the third mock interview session, both in the way of speaking and in answering any type of questions. What I liked most was that each of my mock interviewers had done their MBA from that particular school, and hence was able to provide me with information that I could not have found by just searching on the internet.
Throughout the whole process, I never felt left out, and each and every query of mine was always resolved by the Admit Expert team.
This dedication showed in the results I got. Despite my tight deadline, I was able to apply to seven b-schools with good quality applications and received interview invites from five of them. I only gave three interviews and got selected in all of them. Since I got admitted to the school I wanted to go to, I canceled the remaining interviews myself.
To conclude, given my tight deadline, I would not have been able to get an admit from any school this year if I had not gone with Admit Expert.

Working with Admit Expert for my MBA application was a truly transformative experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the outset, their on boarding process was thorough and tailored, ensuring a perfect match with my consultant, Namitha, who took a deep-rooted personal interest in my success. Her dedication and meticulous attention to detail were instrumental in my acceptance to all the schools I applied to.
Admit Expert’s team was incredibly generous with their time. I had the opportunity to interact with over five consultants, each bringing a unique perspective and contributing in some way to my application journey. Their real and informed feedback on my profile helped me refine my applications to showcase my strengths effectively.
One of the aspects I valued most was the transparency and honesty of the consultants. Aseem, in particular, was very clear about the MBA landscape and how Admit Expert’s services fit into the broader context, which helped me make informed decisions throughout my application process. Their honesty was refreshing, especially when discussing whether their expertise was the right fit for my specific needs.
Namitha was nothing short of a godsend. Her involvement went beyond professional duty; she was genuinely vested in my success as if it were her own. This personal commitment was mirrored by the entire team, including project managers and proofreaders, who all supported me tirelessly.
Before taking services from Admit Expert, I had applied to 15 B-schools with another consultant, but got dinged from all the 15 schools, perhaps due to gaps in my academics. After that I took 5 b school platinum package from Admit Expert. The comprehensive support system at Admit Expert, combined with their personalized approach and expert guidance, not only helped me gain admission to my top choice schools like USC Marshall, Georgetown McDonough, Emory, Vanderbilt, Babson with significant scholarships, but also provided a deeply supportive professional environment.
I strongly recommend Admit Expert to anyone looking to navigate the complex journey of MBA admissions.

I am Ashish Arora, with a B.Tech degree from NIT Durgapur. Following which I have worked for PwC, SAP and lately e-GMAT. I chose Admit Expert to help me with my admission application. What I really liked about their pitch was the added advantage of a mentor (a student of the college you are applying to), in addition to the permanent consultant. This mentor would review your application and help you point out stuff you or your consultant might have missed. And when I worked with Admit Expert, this really came to my help. The added feedbacks of the mentors helped me improve the application by leaps and bounds. Consequently, I had applied to 3 colleges Duke Fuqua, Kellogg and Darden. I received interview invites from all 3 and was selected in early access round at Fuqua with a decent scholarship, upon which I did not interview at other schools. The whole process at Admit Expert really pleased me. There was a team that was dedicated to me at all times. And with different people working on different aspects of my application, I never was made to wait for a long time. In the past I have recommended Admit Expert to all my friends and I would yet again recommend them to anyone reading this post.

I worked with the Admit Expert team for my ISB application in Round 3 and was thrilled to receive an offer. My consultant and I worked closely to understand and convey the story I wanted to present in my application. She was almost always available to answer my queries. After multiple essay iterations with my consultant, the drafts were then reviewed by a QA mentor, who brought fresh perspectives, and a school mentor who verified them before I submitted my application. I particularly appreciate the process where essays undergo multiple checks before reaching the final product. Additionally, the interview assistance from Admit Experts was invaluable. An ISB alumnus conducted a mock interview and provided extremely crucial feedback. The expertise and flexibility of the team made my application journey less stressful. Admit Expert’s professionalism, insight, and personalised approach make them an invaluable partner in achieving your dream admit!
