Ivy MBA Consulting | MBA Admissions Consultants

I found Eli through a trusted recommendation from a colleague that I admired at work who had attended a top MBA program. Following our initial consultation call, I immediately knew that Eli was the partner I needed to navigate the MBA application process. As a deferred MBA applicant – I knew that the odds of admission where much slimmer in comparison to traditional programs due to the limited number of seats. During our initial consultation, Eli was straightforward about this fact, allowing me to reflect on my long-term career vision. Working with Eli allowed me to secure deferred admission to 3 M7’s + Harvard Business School.

Eli’s straightforward honesty was integral towards my application process. His immense amount of experience and expertise within MBA admissions allowed him to give me direct feedback and on which parts of my application best fit my overarching narrative, and what needed more work. Eli was integral in helping me connect the dots between my personal, professional, and extracurricular experiences. He knew the nuanced differences between each school, and helped me effectively target my essays towards each school’s strengths and interests. Through Eli’s help, not only was I able to convey compelling narratives through my essays, but I also was allowed the opportunity to for some deep introspection, strengthening my passion towards my long-erm aspirations.

Eli made me feel like a #1 priority, and was always accessible. Whether it was an email, text, or phone call, Eli was always there to answer my questions and assist with my applications.

This prompt responsiveness and support where integral in being able to overcome the daunting task of applying to numerous business school’s in a short amount of time.

He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the MBA admissions process and, best of all, extremely accessible. Eli works around the clock, and I never had to wait for a response – I truly felt like I was his only client.
Initially, I was admitted but didn’t receive the full ride. Eli guided me through strengthening my case and retrying for the scholarship. Thanks to his unbelievable support and strategic advice, I ultimately got that full ride.
Eli’s dedication and expertise are unmatched. If you’re serious about your MBA dreams, you need Eli in your corner. I can’t recommend him more highly.

Throughout the journey of applying to top-tier MBA programs, Eli served as an invaluable mentor and advisor. His deep understanding of the application process, combined with his genuine commitment to my success, made him an indispensable asset. He possesses a rare ability to tailor his guidance to individual needs, providing personalized advice that greatly enhanced my candidacy.

From crafting compelling essays to preparing for rigorous interviews, he provided invaluable feedback and support that significantly strengthened my application.

I highly recommend Eli as an MBA consultant. Eli’s expertise in guiding applicants through the complex MBA admissions process is truly exceptional. With his keen insight and personalized approach, he helped me navigate every step of the application journey, from crafting compelling essays to preparing for interviews. Eli’s dedication, professionalism, and genuine interest in his clients’ success set him apart. Working with him not only enhanced my application but also boosted my confidence. His remarkable accomplishment of securing my admission to MIT in Round 3, which is notoriously challenging , speaks volumes about his effectiveness and commitment. If you’re seeking an MBA consultant who goes above and beyond, Eli is the one to trust.

My wife and I applied as a couple, and both worked with Eli during the past application season.

We found Eli through P&Q after my Booth DIY application was rejected in my R1 application. Despite having only two months until the R2 deadline, Eli effectively helped us navigate the process. He carefully reviewed our materials, accurately identified the shortcomings in our application, and provided crucial support that ultimately led to our acceptance at HBS, GSB, and CBS as a couple!

Eli’s approach stands out compared to other consultants we’ve worked with in several ways: 1) He efficiently assisted us in selecting an appropriate career goal based on our background and his own experience; 2) He employed a unique evaluation system for application materials that proved to be highly effective; 3) He offered sincere and direct feedback to our application materials, continuously pushing us to exceed our limits.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have collaborated with Eli during this application season, and we hope that more candidates can achieve their goals through Eli’s guidance!

I am a 3rd-time applicant for H and S. Eli got me in both. He has a strong sense of the right direction and is incredibly candid in telling you what works and what doesn’t. He is particularly good at finding out the overall image that makes the most sense for you. Call him. He is just life-changing.

I could not over-express my gratitude for Eli. He understands the real ‘art’ of MBA applications, especially for highly competitive programs like Stanford and Harvard. His guidance truly helped me anchor myself and achieved my goals – going into the process, I only had one school that I wanted to attend: GSB. No other schools mattered. I had good work experiences but my GPA was below GSB’s average. Knowing the low admission rate of 6%, it was naturally a daunting process, and I was clueless on how to tackle the giant. Eli gets what makes an application unique that stands out from a large pool: the essay. He took the lead and really helped shape the entire application from start to finish that I also felt satisfied to submit – I felt that even if I don’t get in, this is the story I would like to tell about myself. We workshopped a lot in the beginning to get to the most defining aspects of my life and turned it into a beautiful essay. When I received the physical acceptance letter from GSB, the admissions director hand-wrote on my letter saying how much she was touched from it. This is a result inseparable from Eli and his team’s work.

Aside from the essay, Eli was also fully responsible for all other parts of the application, including interview prep and resume building. I had zero friction working with him and his team – he was always available and his communication style is straight to the point. He has a great attention to detail that perfected all of my materials.

If you are aiming for top tier programs while getting through the process smoothly without any fluff, he IS your guy! I would recommend him to any of my friends who are thinking of applying.

Eli is absolutely incredible! I went into the MBA application process quite nervous, but Eli’s coaching and feedback enabled me to tell my authentic story – and the MBA programs saw that too! I applied to HBS, Stanford, and Wharton, received interviews at all three schools, and gained admission into HBS and Wharton!!! I could not be more happy with my decision.

The devil is in the details, and what sets Eli apart is his meticulous feedback at every step of the process. He is incredibly thorough and constantly pushed me to dig deeper, whether that was with the resume, the essays, or the short-answer questions sprinkled throughout every application. Additionally, Eli is ALWAYS available. I could send an email or pick up the phone and he would be on the other end, willing to talk for as long as I needed. The MBA application process is not easy, and Eli was always there to answer my questions. Lastly, Eli is invested. He cares about my passions and my success as much as I do. From the countless hours of conversations to the congratulations phone call, Eli was my champion. Having that throughout the application process made all the difference in the world.

Eli David is so amazing, and I know that I would not be here without him! I truly cannot make a higher recommendation.

I reached out to Eli based on recommendations from two friends who had worked with him and had only praise for his services. After discussing with 2-3 more consultants, I knew that Eli was the one I wanted to work with. His absolute honesty in telling me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear stood out from the first moment, and I immediately felt he was the right consultant for me.
From our first discussion, which took place about a year before starting the formal process, Eli provided insightful recommendations on how to utilize the time until beginning the applications in the best possible way. I found all of his suggestions to be very accurate, and they positioned me significantly better for the process.
Eli’s exceptional knowledge about each school and its unique characteristics was mind-blowing to me. He assisted in selecting the right schools to target according to my goals and helped plan an overall strategy for handling all the applications and determining which ones should be prioritized.
In each part of the application, I felt Eli was pushing me to my absolute edge and not compromising for anything less than perfection. His attention to even the smallest details led me to submit applications that I couldn’t be prouder of, ones I had only dreamed of when I first started.
I ultimately was accepted to NYU, which was one of my top choices due to its location in NYC, with a full scholarship. I know for a fact that I could not have achieved such a result without Eli, and I’m extremely thankful for choosing him to guide me through the process.

I embarked on a transformative 10-month journey with Eli, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From our first contact to the happy moment when I received acceptance letters from two M7 schools, Eli was the driving force behind my success.

Eli’s commitment to pushing me to excel in my application was evident from day one. Even when I thought my stories were flawless, Eli’s keen eye provided a fresh perspective and unearthed highlights that I hadn’t considered. His dedication to extracting the best from my experiences allowed me to present myself in a way that truly stood out.

Navigating a complex background that didn’t neatly align with typical business school expectations, Eli proved to be a master storyteller. He skillfully distilled the essence of my journey, crafting a narrative that showcased my unique strengths and achievements in the most professional and compelling manner.

What truly set Eli apart was his accessibility and prompt responsiveness. Every question, every concern, and every request met with an exceptional level of attention. Eli’s responsiveness was not just timely; it was a testament to his commitment to my success.

In conclusion, Eli’s guidance was instrumental in my acceptance to two M7 schools.

I had a wonderful experience working with Eli on my MBA applications!

As demonstrated by his previous reviews, he is a veteran of MBA admissions and has helped numerous individuals be successfully admitted over the years to the top business schools. He will work meticulously with you on every step of the application and is straightforward and to the point in his feedback. He is not afraid to push you to rethink an idea or rework an essay to meet the highest standards, giving you the confidence that you are putting your best foot forward. He was extremely generous in providing guidance whilst I was preparing for the GMAT, even before I had made the formal decision to apply for an MBA and to work with him.

Eli’s availability and commitment is second to none – he responds super quickly and is always there to answer questions or provide reassurance and work with you through this journey. He was encouraging throughout and extremely approachable. He continues to be supportive of you and your career even after your applications which is amazing!

I am so grateful to have worked with him and will be going to my dream school later this year!

Eli’s guided me through the process with clarity and precision. His responsiveness and support made a significant impact, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a top-tier MBA consultant. Got into HBS and MIT in round 1, couldn’t have done it without him.

I’ve been privileged to work with Eli for a considerable time. During this time, I’ve seen firsthand his expertise and skill in guiding me through the complex process of applying to prestigious programs.

This is a testament to the hard work and dedication that Eli and I put into the application process.

Eli has an exceptional ability to help me figure out how best to present myself compellingly and authentically. He has a keen eye for identifying one’s strengths and how to showcase them effectively.

In light of the success I’ve experienced, I felt compelled to recommend Eli to a friend who was also embarking on a similar journey. I am thrilled to report that my friend had favorable results as well. This, to me, further solidifies Eli’s expertise in this field and his ability to help many more students achieve their goals.

Here is a recommendation from someone who just got admitted into Booth with a full-ride scholarship! Generally, the application process to your dream school can be very frustrating, with lots of ups and downs. In this important stage of your life, you would want a trustworthy guy next to you. I cannot overestimate the value of a good consultant. When I conducted market research among different consultants, after my first call to Eli, I felt that he was different from the others. He was so professional and quickly got a perception of who I am, giving me the feeling that he was 100% with me in this process, no matter what, and that my success would be his success. I have come to understand that Eli is the best choice for me. Now, in hindsight, I could not have chosen a better match for this mission.

During the application process, Eli not only guided me through every little step in this exhausting journey, but he also knew how to draw out the best in me. I really loved the outcome of our work together. In total, I spent hour upon hour talking with Eli, refining every single word in my essays, and there is no way I would have achieved this high level of essays without him. He has lots of experience, and that is prominent!

On a personal level, I so appreciate his genuine, honest, and straightforward approach. He would tell you exactly what he thinks is best for you without filtering, and he was super available at any time for any question I had… Not a single question that he couldn’t answer. I also felt that he was invested in this process almost more than I was, which is so appreciable and not obvious at all for a consultant who works with other clients at the same time.

I am so happy I chose to work with Eli, and I highly recommend him! He is the one who will lead you to achieve your prestigious goals throughout this long journey. So don’t miss this opportunity. Good luck, everyone!

I recently had the privilege of working with Eli as my admissions consultant for the MBA application process, and I felt compelled to share my experience, especially considering the impact he had on my successful admissions to Booth and MIT.
Searching for a MBA consultant, my interactions with several consultants left me feeling that they didn’t truly grasp the nuances of my story. However, my first call with Eli transformed my perspective entirely. He exuded a level of understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness of my profile that immediately instilled confidence in me.
Eli wasted no time in acknowledging the distinctiveness of my profile and assuring me that I had a genuine chance. His ability to creatively connect the dots in my non-traditional background was nothing short of impressive. Through our collaboration, he guided me in ways I hadn’t considered, adding a creative dimension to my application that I wouldn’t have achieved on my own.
What set Eli apart was his availability. It often felt like he was on call almost 24/7. As deadlines approached, his dedication became even more evident. Eli matched, if not exceeded, my own level of effort, tirelessly reviewing and refining my essays until they reached perfection.
I particularly appreciated Eli’s no-nonsense approach. If something wasn’t right, he didn’t hesitate to raise a flag. This direct and honest feedback was invaluable in shaping my application into its best possible form.
The true testament to Eli’s expertise came when I received acceptance letters from Booth and MIT Sloan—schools that initially seemed like a distant dream. Eli’s guidance and strategic approach proved instrumental in turning those dreams into reality. He is undeniably a magician in the world of MBA admissions, and I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to him if you’re serious about transforming your prospects. Buckle up and call Eli; he’s a game-changer.

First things first – I wouldn’t have been admitted to Stanford GSB if it weren’t for Eli!
Eli truly cares about your story. Our first conversation lasted over an hour, during which we delved deep into who I am, what led me to this point, and my aspirations, revealing things even my closest friends didn’t know about me.
Beyond being a consultant Eli was also my mentor. He guided me through navigating career choices and decisions regarding retaking the GMAT (again and again!), even before I officially hired him.
What sets him apart is his consistent honesty – there’s no pushy sales pitch or false promises. If he takes you on as a client, it’s because he genuinely believes in your potential. He won’t advocate for applying to any school unless he sees a real chance of success.
His approach is highly pragmatic. Don’t expect sugarcoating or false hope – he’s here to be straightforward and critical. He’s sharp and emotionally intelligent, able to identify a good (or bad) story from the first sentence.
Another amazing thing about working with Eli was his rapid availability and responsiveness, despite significant time zone differences. Whether it was a quick email or detailed feedback, he consistently replied within 24 hours, if not sooner. In the crucial two weeks leading up to the application deadline, it felt like he was online 24/7, providing support, positivity, and motivation when I needed it the most.

I truly couldn’t have achieved it without Eli’s expertise and mentorship. I couldn’t recommend him more!

I chose to collaborate with Eli based on his outstanding reputation and the warm recommendations I received from friends who had worked with him and successfully gained admission to top MBA programs. From our initial conversation, I sensed that he was the right person to guide me through this process, and today I can confidently affirm that it was the best choice I could have made.

Even before starting to work on the application itself, Eli’s exceptional experience was evident as he provided valuable insights regarding schools, scholarship opportunities, and various professional aspects, which played a crucial role in helping me select the programs to apply for.

Throughout the entire process, what truly made working with Eli so exceptional was his true professionalism. In a highly skilled manner, he managed to bring out the best in me, helping to leverage all my life experiences to create an application that showcased my strengths. He consistently challenged me to think more deeply and aim higher, leaving no loose ends in crafting the perfect version of each part of the application.

Moreover, Eli assisted me in preparing for the interviews, and his advice was crucial to my success. He guided me in shaping my answers, worked on refining my tone and self-presentation, and conducted numerous mock interviews that played a key role in building my confidence and presenting the best version of myself in real-time.

What was also remarkable was Eli’s great accessibility. Even during weekends, he was always available, patiently answering any question I had. He provided honest and constructive feedback in a timely manner, which was very helpful, especially before the application deadlines.

I am really glad I chose to work with Eli. Thanks to his unwavering commitment, I secured acceptance to two top MBA programs. Thank you, Eli, for helping me achieve my goal!

I had my call with Eli after having talked with 3 other consultants. What impressed me about Eli was that he was the only one who did not try to sell me on his relationships various ex-adcoms. Instead, Eli went straight into interviewing me about my background and aspirations to understand if he would be able to get me into a top program. After another hour long phone call discussing myself, Eli said that he would take me on.

I had only 6 weeks from when I first talked to Eli to when applications were due, so I worked tirelessly to get them ready. Eli worked with me every step of the way to help me prioritize correctly and give direction on what stood out in my application and what needed work. Eli is very straightforward and doesn’t say something is good unless he actually means it. This meant a lot of iterations on essays, but I believe it really was integral for me getting into school. I applied to HBS, GBS, and Haas. I got into GBS and Haas with $$.

Having Eli as your consultant is a great way to ensure you will have a stellar application and maximize your chances of getting into a top business school.

It is hard for me to express my enormous appreciation for Eli and his work. From the first conversation to the conversation in which I informed him that I had been accepted into the MBA program that I wanted, he presented impressive professional abilities that always made me feel that “I am in good hands.”

I came to Eli through a recommendation from a friend who was accepted into Stanford’s MBA program. After examining several consultants in the market, I concluded that Eli’s service was the most efficient and effective for me, a decision that turned out to be correct and triumphant.

First, in application essays and interview preparations, Eli knew the best way to express my abilities, professional experience, and ambitions for the future. In addition, Eli was available and always answered all my questions, providing constructive comments and recommendations for applying effectively and convincingly.
Moreover, one of Eli’s great strengths is the ability to prepare the candidate for interviews in the best possible way, both personal and group interviews, while adapting to the requirements of the specific MBA programs.

I do not think I would have been able to get admitted into the MBA program and a scholarship without Eli’s consultancy in the application process. I highly recommend him and am convinced that anyone who chooses him will be able to fulfill his academic ambitions.

Having been recommended by friends who successfully gained admission to top schools, I was eager to connect with Eli, the MBA admissions consultant.

I would also point out Eli’s honesty in feedback, particularly when it’s negative. He won’t sugarcoat things; he’ll provide straightforward assessments, calling it as it is. This frank approach might be challenging, but it delivers the highest quality output and is a testament to his dedication to your growth and success.

I chose to collaborate with Eli on my application to top MBA programs because of his reputation for being forthright and truthful right from the beginning. Eli’s extensive experience and track record of helping students secure admission to the most prestigious universities in the world was impressive to me.

As I progressed through the application process, Eli David demonstrated his exceptional professionalism and unwavering commitment to my success. He invested time to comprehend my background, career objectives, and personal goals and employed this knowledge to craft a captivating narrative that showcased my strengths and potential.

One of the things that stood out to me about Eli was his balanced approach. He was firm but fair, challenging me to reflect deeply on my experiences and achievements and pushing me to present my best self in my application. Despite his high standards, Eli was always available and approachable, offering guidance and support whenever necessary.

Eli David is a true artist in his craft, having helped numerous graduates and individuals in the industry over the years. He even knew one of my interviewers personally, which helped me prepare better. Eli offered to connect me with potential investors for the startup I plan to establish through my studies, which was a generous gesture. I am thrilled that I chose to work with him, and he is undoubtedly committed to delivering exceptional outcomes.

I found that his candid approach helped me understand what I needed to do to make my application stronger. Overall, I am extremely grateful for Eli’s guidance and support throughout the entire application process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to apply to a top MBA program.

Getting my desired GMAT score took me a while and throughout the process, I developed a close relationship with my GMAT teacher. I figured that as he had taught hundreds if not thousands of MBA applicants, he would know to recommend a consultant who has proven to get the job done. He recommended Eli saying “if Eli decides to take you, you will be going to a top MBA with a 95% chance”.

I could not have made a better choice, my profile being very unconventional and with significant gaps resulting in other consultants not believing I would be competitive for the top schools, Eli on the other hand saw beyond. He did not only help me get interviewed at 3 of the top 5 MBA programs but also managed to help me get a full scholarship at one of them.

Eli has a good understanding of what schools are looking for and the recommendations he give me on how to approach the application process were extremely valuable.

Eli helped bring the best out of me and saw potential in me where others did not and I am very grateful to him for helping me achieve my goals.

I highly recommend working with Eli when applying to business school. 
For me, the most important piece of advice in this process is to work with someone who is very honest and realistic but at the same time will not discourage you. Eli is exactly that. He is familiar with the schools’ application process, what they are looking for, what will catch their eye, and how to tell your story In the best and most appealing way that will flatter and intensify you but at the same time will show who you are as a person. His approach is straight to the point, cuts through all the nonsense, and doesn’t make things pretty when they shouldn’t be. He finds the right angles to tell the story and directs the application to shine above others.  
In this process, which can be long and frustrating, Eli never compromises on quality and uniqueness. He is always pushing to find the best idea, approach, and unique answer to the question at hand. His creativity and line of thinking help to develop a story that is in line with each school’s DNA. He is knowledgeable, up-to-date with school policies and questions and his years of experience with the admissions process are invaluable. 
On top of that, he is approachable, always available, reliable with timelines, and will always be there even after the application. 
Eli is the best choice I made, he highly assisted in making my dreams come true. 

In doing my research I had spoken to many application consultants. Some I felt were trying to sell me something, and others felt like a big machine where they would simply apply a certain framework on me.
When I spoke to Eli it felt very different. We first spoke about me. My story, my goals, my interests. I felt heard and understood. My background and profile are not the most straightforward, yet Eli immediately identified which areas to highlight and I liked it a lot.
Over the whole process, Eli was incredibly attentive, available, and approachable. I am a person who tends to worry and overthink, and Eli was always there to jump on a call, explain the rationale of a certain step, and give me confidence. His very straightforward and no-BS approach makes for a highly efficient way of working together, which was extremely helpful given most of us are very busy already in our day to day jobs.
Now to the magic that Eli creates: If someone told me a few months ago I would receive an offer from both Wharton and Stanford, I would not have believed it. I do not have a 4.0 undergrad GPA and my working experience is not exactly by the book, yet Eli helped me find ways to connect my personal and professional achievements in the most beautiful way possible.
To summarize, you better be ready to have your dreams come true 🙂

I highly recommend working with Eli for anyone seeking assistance with their MBA/executive MBA application process. Wli was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process, from brainstorming essay ideas, and making the most out of my resume and recommendation letters, to reviewing my final application materials.

Eli has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the MBA admissions process and was able to provide valuable insights and guidance to help me craft a strong and compelling application. He was always available to answer my questions and provided timely feedback on all of my materials.

Overall, I am extremely grateful for the assistance and support provided by him. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their chances of getting accepted into a top MBA program.

I reached out to Eli after getting very warm recommendations from 3 different friends of mine. The call I had with him clarified that he is the right person to work with on this challenging task – sharp, sincere, got my vibe in no time, and very committed to my success.
Out of 6 schools I applied to (HBS, GSB, Wharton, Sloan, Booth, CBS) I got interviews with all of them (!) and got admitted to 3 including HBS which was my top choice. If you want to be sure you’re getting the best result, with the highest standard and without cutting corners – Eli is your person!
(-) Eli will always be honest and straightforward about the quality of essays, about what you can improve and how to do it, and as ‘god is in the details’ – it will take you exactly where you want to be.
(-) Eli has years of experience, and it seems like nothing surprises him. He knows the DNA of every top school and will help you craft your best application and have the best chances to make it into the programs you want the most!
(-) He is sharp and fast in giving answers and identifying the right direction to go in the story you choose to tell.
I highly recommend Eli as an MBA consultant!! Good luck.

I highly recommend working with Eli. I called two MBA application consultants on the evening of completing my GMAT and chose Eli because of a friend’s recommendation and his no-nonsense communication style. It’s the highest amount of money I ever spent on something, and absolutely worth it. Since I had only a month left until the deadline we started working the next day.

Eli was extremely flexible, easy to reach, and effective. There was a significant time difference between us, which never hindered our collaboration. In fact, it meant I could expect updated documentation when I woke up, and sometimes even have another version reviewed before the end of the day. For every essay, he translated what the school was really after and recommended structures before going into first drafts. One of the hardest parts of the application for me was the personal essay. Eli helped me uncover the key elements of my story by pulling details out of me and emphasizing my unique qualities. Looking back at this stage of the process, Eli’s experience, attention to detail, and direct feedback style really helped me push to highlight the unique and ‘impressive’ elements of my story in all parts of the application. I would have definitely missed important aspects or worded them in a less effective way if I had not worked with Eli, and I got to know myself better in the process.

Eli’s help did not stop after we submitted my application. He practiced video essays and interviews with me, going over the structure of key questions and practicing delivery over video calls or through voice notes on WhatsApp. He also reviewed my scholarship essays, and I am very fortunate to have received a significant scholarship for my year at INSEAD with Eli’s help.

Overall, he is very involved: Eli was probably more annoyed than I was when things didn’t go according to plan with recommenders or interviews. He is one of the first people I called to share the news of my acceptance: we did it together!

First things first: the result. I only applied to three schools – GSB, HBS, and Wharton. I got an interview at HBS and got into Wharton.

If you would’ve told me that I’d get this result a year back, I would’ve probably laughed. I had absolutely no knowledge about the MBA process when I started the journey. I talked to around 10 MBA consultants, all of whom told me that I am a male software engineer from an over-represented pool, with absolutely no official leadership experience. I stood no chance at HSW and shouldn’t bother wasting my/their time. Nothing against them – probably this is the harsh reality of MBA admissions. Given I was already well settled in my career and was leading a good life, I didn’t want to leave my job for anything less than HSW.

I was about to give up on the idea of an MBA when I got on a call with Eli. This call was completely different from the others. While others were focused on my stats, achievements, and boxes I checked, Eli was interested in my story. In my initial call itself, he forced me to open up and really tell him who I was. We talked for more than an hour and in that hour I told him things about myself that even my closest friends didn’t know. He wasn’t interested in my numbers, he was interested in me. When no one believed in me (not even me), Eli was the only one who thought that the “real me” had a shot.

Eli’s approach is very pragmatic – if you’re looking for someone who sugarcoats things or someone who gives you false hope or someone you can bullshit, he is NOT your guy. He is going to be straightforward and critical. He made me write 12 drafts for small answers in the application form and very bluntly called me out the moment I started slacking.

One of the best aspects of working will Eli was that he was always available. Preparing an MBA application while working full-time was a challenging task. I don’t know how he does it but it feels like the guy is always just a call away. With Eli, I never had to wait hours/days to get even the smallest of doubts/questions answered.

In Eli, you will find a close partner for your applications. He is not only an application consultant but a great mentor – he helped me immensely in navigating my career choices and decisions. He helped me plan my MBA admissions journey even before I hired him. This gave me the confidence to take the jump into this long and daunting journey.

Eli’s organization doesn’t have the fanciest of presence like many other consultants today and may give the first impression of not being at par with them. But in today’s world of glamour and noise, Eli is the real deal. I’m here only because of him. Please go and sign up with him – You’ll make the best decision of your life!!!

Stanford, Wharton, and more, and I couldn’t do it without Eli and Sharon. I got to know Eli from a couple of colleagues at my work who received offers from HBS and Stanford as well. I had no doubt that I will work with Ivy MBA consulting but had no idea about how significant the added value was. From the first call with Eli, I felt as if he completely understood what I wanted to say and what were my most important strengths. This demonstrated itself later on during the work on the documents. The brainstorming and ideation processes were such that my narrative was much stronger than what I had initially thought. Throughout the process I felt that Eli and Sharon were fully committed to my success, they were extremely accessible and set up an amazing work atmosphere. I was incredibly happy to call them after each call from the adcom. Thank you!!

I am writing this review today after almost two months of getting the great news from two M7 schools I was admitted to. I just had a conversation with Eli about scholarship strategy and how to handle this sensitive topic vis-à-vis the schools. Yes – even after 2 months, Eli is here, available for every question and is so happy to help. This was the case throughout the entire process.

Choosing to work with Eli was not difficult. After speaking with many advisers, the call with Eli was very different. He was the sharpest of them all and was able to show me different approaches that other advisers did not. I felt much more confident and the choice was easy. The name of the game is standing out and through a reflection process, Eli helped me understand what stood out in my profile.

Eli was extremely dedicated throughout the process. He was (and still is) happy to help. He is accessible and I could always reach him – a crucial advantage for this process. But more than anything, Eli is extremely passionate about his work. He dives into the discussions and shares a lot of options and details on how to convey each story. In case of a disagreement, you can feel he is fully engaged and would help me make the right choice.

I could not have chosen a better partner for the MBA application process. I can say with confidence that Eli is.

If you’re an applicant from a non-traditional background, you simply must connect with Eli. When I decided to apply for an MBA, I approached Eli. It was about a year away from submission. I didn’t have the long track record of business successes that many applicants bring to the table. Eli gave me the honest (brutal) truth about my chances and it was not easy to hear. When I decided I wanted to go for it regardless, Eli guided me on what I should do over the following months to increase my chance. This included actions in various areas of life, not only the professional one. With Eli’s consistent guidance and extensive knowledge, I secured admission to INSEAD.

Through every step of the application process, Eli worked on turning my non-traditional background into a strength, not a liability. A powerful motivator, Eli has an exceptional ability to listen closely to his clients to uncover a clear narrative that speaks to admissions committees. Eli put me back on track when I got discouraged. He also pushed me to look at my own story from different angles, asking astute questions to sculpt my life experience into worthy material that spoke to what the school was looking for.

It often felt as if Eli has an encyclopedic knowledge of schools and admissions processes. He was always available, offering a quick turnaround at every step of the process. He became a fatherly but authoritative figure who truly changed my life by unlocking my potential. Beyond helping me craft clear, powerful content, Eli also worked with expert editors to ensure my writing was of professional quality.

Bottom line: If you’re serious about getting into business school, Eli is your best choice!

After speaking with 6 different consultants, I decided on Ivy Consulting because of Eli — his straightforward manner cut through all of the noise around what I thought I ‘should’ be doing in my applications, and helped me figure out the best path forward in my applications for me personally. I looked at schools in both Europe and the US, and Eli was one of the only consultants I spoke with that had an in-depth understanding of the nuances of the process in both regions. He always made himself available to have a call and talk through the questions I had (and there were many). With Eli’s help, I’m headed to INSEAD in the fall and could not be happier with my choice of consultant.

Professionalism, knowledge, guidance, availability and positivity.

These are the words that describe Eli and the process I have gone through with him, in getting admittance to MIT Sloan and Kellogg. My two dream schools.

If there is one thing you should not skip is having an intro call with Eli. He gave me so many things to think about that no one else even thought of during my calls before. He knows EVERYTHING there is to know in the MBA domain and was able to guide me into building the best, most crafted strategy for the schools. I had strengths in me I wasn’t even aware of until Eli pointed them out. Every story we thought about turned out to be amazing on paper and I felt it was 100% who I am. I was happy with every single document I submitted and this was my number one priority.

Many before me (if not everyone) talked about Eli’s availability. In speaking with friends who went through the process with other advisers, I understood how lucky I was and how Eli invests himself in the process. I rarely waited for more than a day to get back any document I sent with fully detailed comments for me to work on. Eli gave me his personal number and I called him often with no need to schedule in advance. Sometimes we spoke for two minutes and sometimes for half an hour. I never once had doubts about meeting deadlines.

What also helped me a lot is Eli’s confidence and positivity. This process is not an easy one and yes – Eli demands a lot. He expected a high level of commitment from me and was more than willing to invest in the same. That’s why his positivity throughout the process helped me go through and maybe even enjoy it at times.

I cannot see how I would have done it without Eli and cannot recommend him enough!

I’ll start with the results- I got admitted to Booth, Columbia, Kellogg (80K scholarship), and Yale (full scholarship) with a GMAT slightly lower than the schools’ average. I am delighted with the results and the application process. I could only do it with Eli’s help, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to apply.

I first learned of Eli from former workmates he got Into Harvard and Booth. It was a great decision working with him. He was direct and straight to the point from the first moment, always attentive to detail. He provided excellent feedback on essays, resumes, videos, and interviews.

He perfected and planned every area we worked on. He worked tirelessly to help me perfect my story. He spent extended time with me to build an excellent outline for the essays, paying attention to details. I worked with Eli on numerous drafts until we felt they were perfect. After I was done with essays, he helped me practice for my interview, allowing me to pass 80% of my interviews. Through every step of the process, I spent hours of work with Eli, who was always available and provided feedback swiftly.

Overall- I got the result that I wanted. My goal was to get accepted to one school, and I got accepted to four target schools with significant scholarships. Through the process, Eli was professional and the consultant that I could have asked. Thank you very much!

Eli is very structured in his approach and helped demystify the process from start to finish. He has a keen sense of what admissions officers are looking for and worked tirelessly with me to help craft a cohesive story that would weave through my essays, experiences, resumes, interviews and all other aspects of the application process. Eli does not mince words and is very direct in his feedback, so you will develop thick skin by the end of the process!

For someone who was simultaneously moving countries and working a demanding job, I really appreciated his efficiency and promptness. I would highly recommend working with Eli for your MBA application needs. I owe him a lot of credit for helping me get accepted to Harvard and Wharton.

I first heard of Eli from a few friends who worked with him and got into top MBA programs. After our initial call, I didn’t look any further. Eli understood exactly where I came from and how I wanted to approach the application. He exposed me to schools that fit me better than I initially thought.
But this was just the start. The work with Eli exceeded everything I expected. Eli was knowledgeable in every area of the application and around it. For every dilemma I presented, he explained the options and suggested the best course of action. It was the case for the bigger questions and the smallest ones. In the more creative essays (What matters most for example), Eli demonstrated the creativity of a Novel writer which made me re-fall in love with my own story. I felt that I was in great hands and I cannot emphasize enough how important this is in such a process.
Another game-changer was Eli’s availability, turnaround time, and how easy and comfortable it is to approach him. First, he never limited the length of our calls or how much we could invest in an area. For one of the major essays, we spent well above 2 hours in just brainstorming. Eli responded within a day to all the documents I sent with very detailed and constructive comments. He gave me a direct number and I was able to reach him mornings and evenings. Again, this was such an important thing as my work is very time-consuming and I needed flexibility.
There were so many other things that were done perfectly, starting with helping me network and connecting me to other students and alumni, through the meticulous editing, all the way to the interview preparation.
The bottom line is I got into Stanford, my dream school, in a very competitive year. I couldn’t have done it without Eli’s support.

I reached out to Eli after I received warm recommendations from friends who were accepted to Harvard and worked with him on their applications in the past. At first, I hesitated since I wasn’t sure I needed a consultant, but today I am so grateful for their recommendations and for Eli’s support and guidance.

Eli was the best consultant I could ask for to accompany me in the long application process. He was super professional and to the point, he guided me throughout the application, highlighted important angles, helped me to surface my achievements, and supported me in building a strong candidacy.

I recommend Eli without reservation!

I called Eli the same day I finished my GMAT. The moment the phone call was over, I knew I had found the person I wanted to work with on my application. Even though time was not on our side (we had exactly 8 weeks until admission), I knew I was in great hands. Everything was under control throughout the entire process, and I could feel every step of the way how Eli helped me in perfecting my application and achieving the best possible result. On top of that, I knew I could always count on him, even with questions and matters that weren’t directly connected to the application process. Eli was by my side every step of this long journey. I was admitted to my dream school – HBS (alongside other top-class MBA programs..), and I know Eli played a vital part. For that, I will always be deeply grateful to him!

My work with Eli started when I was still “feeling the water” regarding an MBA. Eli was recommended to me by two friends who were admitted to Harvard and Duke, and he provided initial advice based on my personal background and aspirations. From the beginning, I saw that Eli was able to hit the points I was concerned about and show how to remedy those.

When I made my decision to move forward with the application, Eli articulated very clearly what was expected from me as an applicant and how he would help me get there, and he was available for me almost 24/7 throughout the process even though we live in exact opposites of the world.

Eli started by building the overall strategy for my application and how to best position me to the admissions committee. Things were very clear from the get-go. Following that, Eli was helping me craft my story and highlight the most important parts of my academic and professional careers, as well as my best personality traits. While writing the essays, we went through as many iterations as needed to have the most compelling essay for each school I applied to, and Eli made sure it was with the best level of English it could be.

When it came to my resume, even though I worked with career consultants and was positive I had the best resume in hand, when I started working with Eli, we did an entire resume overhaul. I had no idea my resume could be so much better than it already was, and to test it I used it to apply to new jobs. Not only I got way more interview invitations than before – with some leading to actual new job offers – but I was constantly commended for my resume itself.

Eli helped my prepare for my conversations with my recommenders and come up with the best talking points I would want each one of them to emphasize when writing my recommendation letters. Eli was able to extract from me the best stories, work examples, and professional achievements from each position that could be beneficial in the letters.

Eli also provided me with the right tools to approach admissions representatives from different schools, which was valuable, as he rightfully emphasized that each conversation should be treated as an interview by itself rather than a casual small talk.

Lastly, when the time came for me to interview to several schools, Eli and his team helped me prepare through a series of several mock interviews, giving me very strong points for improvement and ways to articulate myself in the best way possible.

As a result of my work with Eli, I received several admission offers, with scholarships of over $130K.

I would strongly recommend Eli to any person considering applying to a business school, and that is not only because of the products of the process and the results, but also because this entire process could be overwhelming, stressful, and confusing, and Eli was always there to clarify, provide guidance, debunk myths I kept hearing from random people, and make it as clear as possible what I had to do at each step.

I worked with Eli on my deferred MBA applications and I highly recommend him. Eli was extremely organized and had a great system that got my application completed way sooner than I expected! Eli always makes himself available and is very hands-on with all the work – giving direct critique. I strongly recommend Eli as a consultant for any MBA application. He clearly knows what the school is looking for and how to structure your application to meet those wants.

After having initial meetings with a number of consultants, I decided on Eli, and could not be happier with the result of the process. Eli takes his time to fully understand the candidate, peeling back layers to uncover the true ‘why’ behind your application. He then works with you to build an incredibly cohesive school-specific narrative. Eli is meticulous with each component of the application and is relentless in helping you become the strongest candidate possible. His direct and thoughtful approach not only helped me build an incredible application but also helped me feel 10x more comfortable in my interviews, as I was prepared for any question thrown my way. Unlike other consultants, Eli would always get back to me with revisions to essays, answers to my questions, or feedback within 24 hours, and usually much faster. In doing so, he really makes you feel like you are his partner in this process, and that you are his number 1 priority. Truly, I would recommend Eli without reservation.

I highly recommend Eli for anyone who is looking for a direct, concise, and thorough advisor to help with the admissions process. Eli helped me get into my dream school.

Working with Eli can be challenging, as he demands a lot of you and does not waste time on pleasantries. He is very direct, and will clearly articulate when you are not providing what is needed to succeed in the process. This applies to his feedback on your resume, essays, interview, and more. While your work will remain very much your own, Eli with work tirelessly with you to ensure you are most apt and representing your accomplishments in every aspect of the process. He makes himself available at all times, via email or WhatsApp, and does not hesitate to spend the time needed to support you.

Chose Eli without hesitation. He will help you get the job done.

I led a very comprehensive process to choose my MBA adviser, and cannot be happier with choosing Eli and his team. I chose them after Eli and I had a few calls and he dedicated all the time I needed to answer my questions and let me feel comfortable. Furthermore, before signing, I learned that he got my friend into HBS and her husband to MIT Sloan which made the decision easier.
From the first session, I knew I made the right choice. Eli knew how to guide me in the best way that helped me bring out the best material. He had a very deep knowledge of every school and helped me understand exactly what is the admission actually looking for in each of the documents we worked on. We brainstormed a lot over the phone about each document until Eli was happy with the content. He then helped me build the right outline so that I can easily create the first draft later on. We then exchanged versions until Eli was happy with the result – and it wasn’t easy to get him to this point, as he seeks perfection in every document.
A lot have talked about Eli’s availability and….so will I. It is unbelievable how quick it is to get an answer or to have him on the phone. I had his direct WhatsApp and texted him every time I had a question or needed support. He responded immediately (not sure if he ever goes to sleep…) – and his response time for the documents I sent him was also very fast. Typically, 1 day. 2 days at the latest.
Most important than anything else – I felt that I submitted something that is authentic. It was me, and I was accurately represented in all these words.
Eli was supporting me all along and made sure I will be on my A-game even when I was challenged. He was great to work with and I could really feel he wanted me to succeed. When I was finally admitted to the first of 2 schools, Eli was so happy as if he was admitted himself. Thank you Eli for all the work!!!

Eli helped a lot during the process of developing my own story, he gave advice about changes I had to make and it worked! I was admitted to HBS which was my dream school. I really appreciate the time that Eli took to review all the essays, he is a perfectionist and very attentive to detail. I had a busy agenda working from 9 to 7, but Eli always reminded me about the importance of this process and the time I had to dedicate to make my applications outstanding. I can tell you the process is not easy because Eli is strict and he wants you to dedicate a good amount of time to develop your applications, but this is what is really needed to get accepted to a top10 school. I want to thank Eli for his patience and because I believe he demands and promotes the best quality in every material that he reviews. I totally recommend working with Eli to get great results in this very competitive and long process to submit an MBA application.
