Anna Baskin

I highly recommend working with Anna from Vantage Point. The personal and professional maturity I gained working with Vantage Point is something I would like to thank them for. During the process, I was pushed to analyze my values and what has helped me succeed in my life and be able to articulate that in a precise manner that convinced my top 2 MBA schools (Kellogg and Haas) to accept me.

I used Vantage Point as my consultant and I worked with Anna Baskin. She was an absolute delight to work with! She was tough on me when needed, but also was a friend throughout the process. Where she was the most helpful was in helping me construct my story and think through why I wanted to go to business school. It ended with me being accepted to both Kellogg and Yale SOM. I truly believe that her support and feedback throughout the process was instrumental in my acceptances and am so grateful for her help.

I came into the MBA admissions process with a good GMAT score but a subpar GPA(2.91), and average work experience at a small company. I knew I needed help with conveying my life story and future aspirations so I decided to work with Anna from Vantage Point. The patience, insight, and guidance that she provided through this process was a big part in me obtaining an almost full-ride to my top-choice school(T-20)! She really took the time to understand me from a personal level, and I think that set me up for success when I was working through the application process. I would recommend Anna to anyone who wants to learn how to craft together a compelling personal story or wants to maximize admission success. We all have our own unique journey in life, but sometimes it takes some deep-dive reflection to convey that in a clear way!

I was referred to Anna by a friend who got into HBS. I had a great experience with her. She was super straightforward and very helpful with my essays, especially because I had some trouble keeping to the prompts while also trying to fit in my own story. The experience of setting your goals at the beginning was also very helpful for establishing a base to write other essays off of. She was also super helpful in getting me to make some important deadlines and she can turn around edits quickly if you need her to! I was super appreciative to have someone take a look at my 11th-hour edits.

Anna was a phenomenal help to my MBA application process. She coached me through the entire application, making sure my messaging was consistent across all the aspects of my submission (from the essays to my resume to even my interview). Vantage Point is very well organized and was very helpful providing tips and ideas to ensure my application stood out. I highly recommend Vantage Point, and I highly recommend Anna Baskin.

I originally chose Vantage Point after a friend at HBS strongly recommended them. I’m so grateful for that decision, for Anna at Vantage Point really helped give my application a competitive edge. My GPA and GMAT scores were slightly below the average at all the top B schools. Anna helped me to overcome those gaps and articulate my story- immensely helping my essay, application, and interview. Our work paid off, and I was accepted to EVERY school that I applied to. I will be enrolling at HBS in the Fall, and I’m so grateful to Anna. I plan to recommend her and Vantage Point to all of my friends applying to B school next year.
