Alex Min

The MBA Exchange played an integral role in helping transform my application from average to excellent. The consultants took the time to understand who I am as a person, professional, and applicant. They were able to combine my work experience with my goals and personality to create an authentic portrayal of who I am. The consultants were extremely professional and very timely with their work turnaround. They were honest in their critiques (something that I believe is essential and invaluable) and provided detailed direction on how to improve. I would not have been accepted into my preferred program without their help, and sincerely refer them to anyone in search of an admissions consultant. I cannot emphasize how effective and valuable the knowledge that the MBA Exchange has to offer. Their feedback and guidance were worth every penny!

Alex and the MBA Exchange are simply in a league of their own. Far from being just another group of consultants, the MBA Exchange truly becomes your best partner. Their level of service and the quality of their insights are extraordinary!! Throughout the whole process, Alex demonstrated the highest levels of professionality and his profound knowledge of the arcane admissions world. From exploring potential essay ideas to planning interview strategies, Alex’s support was absolutely crucial. I’m very glad I chose to work with them and would gladly work with them again.

Within the first hour of speaking with Alex Min over the phone, his targeted insight into the MBA admissions process became readily apparent. The MBA Exchange as a whole treats their clients with warmth, respect, and truly personalized care. Every cent I spent for their services was paid back one hundred-fold with respect to the knowledge I gained and the level of preparedness I was able to achieve for the grueling admissions process. My only regret is that I did not seek them out sooner. An MBA can have lifelong implications, and the MBA Exchange goes out of their way to give their clients the best chance at positioning themselves toward the future they want. Even after completing the admissions process, having earned acceptance to my top choice of MIT Sloan, Alex continued to share words of support and guidance showing a truly unparalleled level of client care. I strongly recommend Alex’s services to anyone who wants to give the MBA Admissions process their absolute best shot.

Bottom Line Up Front: The admissions consulting service that Alex Min at The MBA Exchange provided exceeded all expectations. His guidance was a key factor in getting accepted into both HBS & HKS! I HIGHLY recommend The MBA Exchange to anyone applying to an elite graduate school!

More info: The MBA Exchange was clearly the best choice when it came time for me to choose an admissions consulting firm. From our first conversation, it was clear that Alex not only possessed the professional tools & insider’s knowledge to help me compete for a spot at HBS/HKS, but he also cared deeply about my success. Of all the firms I contacted, only Alex displayed this level of commitment and care (traits that continued even after I was accepted).

From essays to interviews and everything in between, The MBA Exchange’s process and proprietary materials greatly simplified the application process. With Alex’s help, I came to understand each school’s unique (and sometimes unstated) values and how the ADCOMs determine if a candidate is a good fit with their culture. Then, with the materials and frameworks he provided, I was able to take a mélange of different career/life experiences and winnow them down to the few that painted a clear picture of who I am and why I would be an excellent fit for that school. I definitely would not have been able to articulate these ideas nearly as clearly without Alex’s guidance or the firm’s tried and true processes.

I can’t say enough about the exceptional service that I received from Alex and The MBA Exchange. They simplified the application process and helped me get into my dream schools. I give them my highest endorsement!!

Alex is a consummate professional and I credit him very highly in helping me get admission into a top-tier business school. As the CEO, Alex embodies what the MBA Exchange stands for in terms of caring for their clients and providing very specific and actionable advice. I know I would have done well working with any of the consultants in the firm, but I must say it was a genuine pleasure working with Alex.

My case was a little unusual because we had to work through a couple of waitlists in our first year of working together before finally getting acceptance the following year. Alex guided me through every single step of the process with very prompt and sound advice. Alex has a deep understanding of the values each school is looking for and helped me emphasize those characteristics in the applications. Although he almost always knew how to guide me and had the answers to my questions, Alex would never hesitate to pull in former adcoms and other top-tier MBA consultants from the vast pool at the MBA Exchange. While I worked exclusively with Alex, I felt like I had the benefit of the entire company. Throughout our engagement together, Alex was very encouraging, deeply insightful, and took a personal interest in making sure I succeeded. I enthusiastically recommend Alex and the MBA Exchange!

When I started my applications I was military officer who knew next to nothing about MBA admissions. Six months later I was admitted to four of the five Top 10 MBA programs that I applied to (including my top three choices). I could not have pulled that off with out Alex’s help. At every stage of the application process Alex’s insight and advice was invaluable. Alex is much more that a proofreader. As a former admissions committee member he brings a deep understanding of what top schools look for in an applicant, and the best ways to demonstrate those qualities in your application. Before hiring him I had no idea how much I didn’t know. I am now certain the applications I would have submitted on my own would not have been successful. I won’t attempt to relay his entire process, but the MBA Exchange has some unique strategies up their sleeve that I never saw in any admissions blog or book. Working with Alex is not a shortcut to success. I put far more time and effort into my applications under his mentorship that I would have on my own. But if you are willing to put in the work, Alex will get you admitted to a top program.

I was thoroughly impressed with the assistance I received from Alex and MBA exchange. His advice and the rigor that he introduced to the application process are largely responsible for the fact that I was accepted by many of my top choice schools. Alex brought order to the chaos of the MBA application process and instituted deadlines that allowed me to tackle the multiple items that I needed to complete to submit my applications. At every step of the admissions process he was there to provide me with the MBA exchange guide for each item and to walk me through what I needed to do to accomplish that step. I enthusiastically recommend Alex and MBA Exchange for all students who are seeking admissions to a top tier school.
