It was a pleasure working with Neil on my MBA applications. From the start, he provided clear guidance on researching schools and identifying key factors to consider when selecting my dream and safe schools. While much of the essay content overlapped across applications, he offered sharp direction on how to tailor each response to the specific school, ensuring a strong, personalized narrative. His feedback during interview prep was equally valuable, ultimately helping me secure admits from two of my top three choices.
Working with Shantanu and MBA & Beyond was an incredible journey of self-discovery. Shantanu’s approach helped me reflect deeply on my experiences, strengths, and goals, uncovering aspects of my story I hadn’t fully appreciated. His patience and dedication were unmatched—we refined countless essay drafts until they felt authentic and compelling. The process was collaborative, and his feedback was always insightful and encouraging. Shantanu’s dedication to bringing out the best in me was truly transformative. His mock interviews were thorough, and his insights into school cultures were invaluable. Shantanu wasn’t just a consultant; he became a mentor and a friend. I highly recommend Shantanu for his genuine care and expertise!
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vinita, as an invaluable resource for anyone embarking on the challenging journey of MBA admissions. She played a pivotal role in my successful application process to multiple schools, and I can’t thank her enough.
In the whirlwind of MBA applications, she was an unwavering anchor of support. She diligently helped me craft a compelling resume, write eloquent recommendation briefs, and articulate captivating essays, all within tight deadlines. Her dedication to perfection was evident as she tirelessly reviewed and refined my documents until I was completely satisfied.
What truly set Dr. Vinita apart was her calming presence amidst the storm of application anxiety that I possesed. Her reassuring demeanor kept me focused and confident throughout the process.
Every call with her was productive, as she came prepared with insightful feedback and additional resources, such as videos and articles, to keep me well-informed.
Moreover, Dr. Vinita displayed remarkable flexibility, accommodating my schedule by making herself available on both weekdays and weekends. This convenience was immensely helpful in managing my commitments.
I highly recommend her to anyone aspiring to join the ranks of top-tier business schools. Her expertise, dedication, and personal touch make her an exceptional mentor in this demanding journey
Shantanu acted as a friend and mentor throughout the process. One can count on him to find and highlight the best stories to make a stellar application. The application journey was a rollercoaster ride, where there were moments of self-doubt, but Shantanu helped practically tackle those concerns. I highly appreciate him taking out time even in his busiest schedule to address any challenges on which his applicant needed immediate attention. The content-gathering part of the consulting process is also beautifully designed and is a great way to introspect and put an informed foot forward in the applications.
I wanted to do an MBA for a long time. I started preparing for the GMAT but because of having a hectic job, I was not able to devote too much time to studying. Ultimately after a number of mocks and preparations, I got 640 on my GMAT. I was not super happy with my score but I was not sad either. I knew it was an average score so I worked hard on selecting appropriate colleges and an appropriate consultant. I searched on google I spoke with a number of consultants. But the one with which I quickly connected was MBA and Beyond.
In our first conversation only I got the feeling that they are ready to help me despite getting an average score and will work together with me to get into a decent college. I could feel that personal connection while speaking with them. After that our journey started. I worked under the guidance of Shantanu who is one of the best mentors to work with.
As I am working, he was totally flexible as per my availability, keeping in mind the application submission timelines. The first task was to tell them about myself. For that, they had an online questionnaire that covered everything about me. After getting the basic data we moved forward toward developing a story for applications. All communication was online via teams meeting and the content gathering software that they have developed is really helpful.
For each college application, there were several brainstorming sessions unless and until we both are satisfied with the essays. With a similar approach, I applied to 4 colleges. Due to the awesome guidance of Shantanu, I got a call from one of the colleges i.e. Copenhagen Business School (CBS). After that, we prepared for the interview and ultimately I got accepted into CBS.
It was a really life-changing experience. I got to know more about myself, learned how to put everything into words, and got the guidance of Shantanu because of which I got into my target B school.
