Stacy Blackman Consulting | MBA Admissions Consultants

It was a very positive experience mocking with Danielle. She provided detailed feedback and prepared questions that covered pretty much all possible topics. I felt pretty prepared coming out of our two mock sessions!

Result: 1 admit (MIT) and 2 rejections.
Review: I was referred by a friend to SBC and was paired with Dione as my dedicated consultant for the All-In partnership. It has been a pleasant experience working with Dione thru the stressful application process and here are a few things I’d love to highlight:
1. Quick Response: Dione is super fast in responding to any questions I have, reviewing my materials and providing comments, generally within 24 hours. Her efficiency significantly elevated our productivity of the entire application process.
2. Experienced: Dione has strong experience in both MBA and college applications and her advice on resume revision, essay theme selection, recommender communication, supporting material preparation, interview, etc. was not only pinpointed but also actionable.
3. Comprehensive support: In addition to Dione as my dedicated consultant, I also had Esther as my initial guide + matchmaker, and Kim, who is a former Admissions Officer helped review my application package as a flight tester. Moreover, SBC provided a detailed knowledge base with a vast amount of information by schools as well as InterviewStream, an online platform that helped me prepare for virtual interviews. This 360-degree team-based approach really allowed SBC to provide all the support you may need during the MBA application process.

The SBC flight test is a phenomenal service in that it provides an additional set of eyes from an experienced industry professional to review applications before final submissions. Caryn was able to assess my application and provide various tips for improvement in order to ensure I put my best foot forward before submitting the final version. She highlighted areas of my professional experience to strengthen what had not been fine-tuned enough. Often, after working on an application for so long and knowing your own story so well, it is easy to overlook certain areas of your candidacy that may be really unique. She ensured that I did not overlook any chance to show admissions committees my fullest potential. Thanks Caryn!
