How to Select An MBA Consultant

You’ve probably heard a few horror stories. ‘The consultant was never around.’ ‘They kept shuffling me around to different people.’ ‘I read that same advice on the internet!’

Ah…consultants. Sometimes, you wonder what they’re good for. Their years of experience and ‘insider knowledge’ are supposed to put you over the top. Unfortunately, not all consultants are created equal. Whether you succeed for fail, one thing is certain: Your consultant is getting paid.

Business school applicants can choose from over 300 consulting firms alone. In fact, up to half of applicants to Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton pay anywhere from $5,000-$10,000 to help them get in.

Question is, do they know what they should be looking for in a consultant?

Like choosing a business school, a consultant choice involves identifying personal fit along with a track record of success. So what should prospective clients look for in a consultant? Check out John Byrne’s report to find out.
