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.

Our MBA application consultants provide targeted, specific and personalized assistance to help you approach your application with confidence.

Esme - wanted to let you know that I submitted my application last night and your assistance made a huge difference over the course of the application process. I truly think my profile was elevated due to your guidance. I am aware that your clients typically send you a review 'only' if they are admitted, but in such a competitive MBA selection process, it undervalues the work you do to help clients. If there is a certain platform you would like me to submit a review, please let me know and I would love to tell future applicants the impact you had on my profile. I truly appreciate you going above and beyond to help me out. (even on weekends!)

For someone who has worked with 2 consultants in the past with no results at all, working with Jennifer has been literally a career changing experience, and I only regret not having approached her earlier.

She has not only always been available in patiently addressing my queries, and playing a very active role not only in school selection but also in helping me choose the right programs within each school that I had the maximum chance of getting in.

As someone with a not so competitive GMAT score, it was Jennifer's editing and her ability to [help me] craft compelling stories that have made all the difference because of which someone like me who has gotten only 1 admit in the past (top 25 program), I have 2 admits (top 15 and top 20) and am waitlisted at (top 5). If I say that Jennifer has the fastest turnaround time I have ever seen in any consultant, I wouldn't be exaggerating. Her turnaround times are mindblowing.

Jennifer has, from day 1, shown immense faith in my ability to make it to great b schools by strongly encouraging me. To me, that has made the most difference in my mindset. I am eternally grateful to Jennifer for all the work, support and how she has taken on my applications as if they were her own. She is truly my guardian angel and has helped me realize my dream of making it to the top b schools. (We are eagerly waiting for a convert to top 5 now!!)

Hi Jennifer,

I got in both HBS and Kellogg! It's midnight already in India and I'm so excited that I don't feel sleepy at all! Haha.

Thank you so much for helping me put together a strong application and get solid interview prep! Thanks a ton!
