Why You Should Consider Working with an Admissions Consultant

Accepted has given you access to hundreds of resources to help you join your ideal MBA program and launch the career of your dreams.

However, try as we might, there is no free resource or general information that provides quality individual advising from an MBA admissions expert. Given the time and expense of applying and the opportunity cost of rejection, it just makes sense to maximize your chance of acceptance at the best MBA program for you by having an MBA admission expert at your side as you apply.

The MBA application process is not simple. It’s long and hard, and it can be quite stressful. Let us guide you through it, helping you to maximize your application by emphasizing your most impressive achievements, skills and qualities. The result: Acceptance at a top MBA program and all the professional and financial benefits it provides.

With over 20 years in admissions consulting and thousands of MBA clients whom we have guided to acceptance, we know what it takes to achieve top-tier application success: acceptance at your dream MBA program.

In a successful business, strategy is key. In the MBA admission process, it’s the same. Become the master chess player of your academic and business future with our help.

I have been offered admission at Wharton along with a Joseph Wharton Fellowship! Thank you for all your help!

Thanks Linda! Chen has been really helpful throughout the whole process.

Dear Linda,

During my application process to Wharton's MBA Program for Executives (Philadelphia), Cindy Tokumitsu's level of service, expert advice, and genuine care truly exceeded my expectations....  With her guidance and support I was able to successfully accomplish all of my goals and submit a timely application.

Cindy is extremely knowledgeable and organized. She helped me to prioritize the work that had to be done and keep pace. She was continuously in touch with me, and she was also readily accessible. Her assistance with my essays was invaluable. Her professional writing skills are unmatched, and her edits and structuring taught me a lot. I am a better writer overall having had the opportunity to work with her. I purchased the full package to engage her services, and I am glad I did because it was worth it. I don't expect to hear from Wharton regarding the status of my application for another two weeks, but I know that I gave it my all and working with Cindy was instrumental to that.
