Candy Lee LaBalle

There is a lot that can be said about Candy’s expertise but the main reason I was able to make it through the MBA process is because of her availability. She was ALWAYS available to chat, calm, guide, and console (which is needed a lot in the process) be it night or day. Candy didn’t treat me like a client but more like a godmother and went that extra mile in understanding me as a person, my profile, and my strengths/weakness which in my experience is a rare trait for an MBA consultant. She treats every candidate without bias and is supremely committed to helping them in the best possible way. I have zero inhibition in referring Candy to anyone planning on working with a consultant. We all need a person like her that we can hold on to and trust during this long testing process. And of course, she helped me reach my dream school with a scholarship which is a difficult feat for an Indian male!

It was a tremendous pleasure working with Candy on my MBA application. She was candid and amazingly supportive throughout the entire process. Furthermore, Candy was available by phone or email whenever I needed her insights to strengthen my application. I was impressed by how she respectfully pointed out areas of improvement and how she connected the dot between my personal information, both long-term and short terms to help me produce strong essays. I highly Candy as the consultant who can lead you to attend your dream Business school.

Got accepted to INSEAD GEMBA and LBS EMBA, and in the end, went for INSEAD and I can only recommend Candy. She saves you time and gives you a clear vision. She provided me with clear and complete advice on the pros and cons of each school and helped me to make the priority list. I received a very detailed description of what each school is looking for so I did not have any unpleasant surprises during admissions. I like the overall approach of how much attention was given to me and how fast Candy dealt with all of my questions.

Deciding to work with Candy was probably the single most important decision in my MBA journey. She adds value from the 1st session and has an immense ability to showcase the very best of you in an authentic, structured, and enticing way.

Throughout the process, you can feel Candy’s genuine interest in seeing you succeed, which paired with her experience and her 27/7 availability really makes her an incredible asset for any candidate.

Personally, Candy is the nicest person, her feedback is very direct yet kind and supportive, and she really minimizes stress throughout the process. I have nothing but gratitude for Candy!

At the beginning of my MBA application journey, I would have never imagined I’d get into both the schools I applied to – LBS and Wharton – with scholarships. And I wouldn’t have done it without Candy!

Going through the application process was an exciting but nerve-racking journey, I was very fortunate to have Candy by my side. She really understood my story, helped me to craft the best story forward for my applications and was always always there for me! She always replied to my questions within minutes, whether it was related to the essays, scholarship, interviews, or general advice on how to interact with the admissions committee through emails and meetings.

Candy is the best admission consultant! I wholeheartedly trust Candy’s expertise, judgment, and advice! I would recommend Candy to anyone without hesitation!

Candy is simply amazing. She helped me throughout the (long) journey that eventually brought me to my dream school.

I have to admit – I had approached the whole application process with some arrogance, coming from a job in finance at a great company, with a solid undergraduate GPA at a top US school, and a GMAT score in range for most MBA programs. If I look back at all the application errors I would have made without her guidance, I can almost guarantee I wouldn’t have made it to MIT– not on my first attempt at least. Candy provided thoughtful advice in the brainstorming of experiences to highlight in the application. She provided me with honest feedback on my initial drafts, which is something very difficult to obtain from friends and family. She helped me prepare for my interview and helped me put together a plan of action after I was waitlisted on R1… In the end, WE made it.

If you want to maximize your chances of getting into your dream program, look no further. Candy is your best guess.

As a re-applicant who had worked with various consultants in the past, I felt that I had exhausted all aspects of “my story” until I met Candy. She was incredible at thoughtfully reviewing my previous application materials, listening to my inner voice, and ultimately helping me reposition my application in a much more impactful and authentic way.

She has been incredibly supportive and available, despite the 9 hrs time difference between us, she always found a way to make the time when I needed it throughout the process especially when it came to making my final decision between Haas, CBS, Booth, and Kellogg. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for having her on my side during my reapplications. I would HIGHLY recommend her!

The investment in a person like Candy is 100% worth it! She helped me to tell my story in the best possible way and maximized my options for admission! She was also super helpful and dedicated to the interview preparation! Thanks, Candy!

I am beyond happy I got in touch with Candy to guide me and review my application. Without a scintilla of doubt, it was the best decision I made during my application. Candy puts your interest first and at the center of the service she provides. She is constantly available via email, zoom and even WhatsApp. She will help you reflect deeply on your background, your trajectory and aspirations and interconnect those to build the best story for your application. Every conversation with Candy was so meaningful and insightful and yet fun that my confidence went through the roof. Her expert eye will spot any weaknesses in your application and she will help you remedy them in next to no time. I was dumbfounded by Candy’s level of precision in helping me craft my essays. She taught me how important every detail was. I would not have made it without Candy. Thank you a ton. If you frankly care about getting into your dream MBA School, I recommend you get in touch with Candy.

Candy was an absolute pleasure to work with. She’s genuinely interested in the success and future of her clients, and she helped encourage and support my self-reflection process. This self-reflection helped build confidence in the schools I was choosing to apply to and enabled me to present the most authentic version of myself to Adcom with clear short and long-term goals. I was accepted to both UT Austin’s (partial scholarship) and UNC KFBS (full-tuition scholarship) in Round 1. I couldn’t be happier with my school offers and feel that the time and money spent with Candy has already paid itself off 10-fold and will continue to pay dividends throughout my career.

If you are reading these words, probably you are wondering if working with Candy is worth it and if it will increase your chances of getting admitted. Well, Candy is of course in the 99th percentile with respect to individualized and superb service, continuous support and care, decades of experience guiding the leaders of tomorrow, and an exhaustive knowledge of the schools and what they are looking for. But, to be honest, what makes her the best is that she guides you to get to know yourself, to identify your strengths, and to become your best version; the application you’ll submit to your dream business school will be actually outstanding and unique for these reasons, not because somebody helped you to create ad-hoc and polished material.
Candy has changed my life, I can’t believe I will be a Sternie in August! Thank you, Candy, I won’t be able to thank you enough for your support.

I can only thank Candy for her incredible work, support, and help during this journey. She is definitely the best MBA consultant out there. Candy is extremely nice, super responsive, to the point, and she really makes a difference. She takes all the Mystery, and the Misery, out of MBA applications. If you plan to apply to any business school you should definitely reach out to her!

I felt so comfortable since the first time I spoke to Candy! She is very experienced and knows exactly how to guide you throughout the whole process. She is very nice, super responsive, straight to the point, and really makes the difference to get her support on the essays!

Candy is the very best! She has been of great support during the whole application process. She has been caring, and nice. She understands what you are going through, and she is there to support you with a smile all along the way. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Candy to anyone.

Candy is a great asset for every applicant, and I definitely recommend her services if you want to have a better chance at your dream school!

She gives 24-7 assistance to applicants, which is not only difficult to find but also essential for the applicant during the stressful process.

If you want to improve your chances of getting admitted, give her a call, you won’t regret it!

Candy is the very best. I can not thank her enough for the personal care and attention she gave me throughout the process. Anyone willing to go on this MBA application journey cannot have a better partner than Candy to guide him or her throughout the process.

Words cannot express how happy I am that I chose Candy to be my MBA consultant. She treats you like a loving mother would treat her son or daughter during this process. She is beyond patient, beyond nice and the best investment I have ever made. She is so easy to contact and is always there to give support during the stressful process of MBA applications. I will be attending NYU’s Stern MBA program thanks to all of Candy’s wonderful guidance. If you need an MBA consultant and you want someone who truly cares and is knowledgeable, then hire Candy!!!!!

Happy to say, that with Candy’s help I got admitted to my dream school (IESE Business School) and also with a scholarship!! From the first moment and through all the process, Candy gave me confidence and the positivity needed to navigate the admissions process. She was always available to solve my doubts and to have 1:1 chats. Furthermore, her insights for the essays and for the interview preparation were top-class. In a nutshell, I would recommend her services to everybody: Candy is by far, the best investment I made during the admission process!

Even if I contacted Candy late in the application process (Application Round 1 deadline already passed), she managed to help me getting into INSEAD, my childhood dream! She is an expert in identifying strengths and weaknesses, and her systematic preparation process is absolutely results-oriented. Her personal service and caring support were outstanding, and she was always very committed (even during the holiday period). Without hesitation, I truly recommend Candy to everybody, she is the safest bet you can have!!

Life-saver for the MBA application journey – INSEAD & IESE admit

My experience with Candy has been extraordinary. Working with her during my MBA Application journey has been the best decision I could have made. She is a very committed and enthusiastic person who brings out the best in you. She understood my motivation and strengths very quickly and guided me through the hard application process making everything much easier and enjoyable. Her personalized and always-available help, valuable MBA applications expertise, empathy, and kindness are the key skills that make Candy the best consultant you could look for.

Candy is an exceptional consultant. She is very executive, professional with an incredible attitude – I enjoyed a lot working with her. She has the capacity to bring the best of yourself into the essays, understands your strengths, and helps you to do a unique application.

I have been admitted to Columbia – Just one submission and accepted!!

I recommend her 100%!!

Not a cost but an investment! Candy is a top consultant with a great knowledge of what each school is looking for and all about the MBA application process. Moreover, she is super easy to work with, caring, always available (24/7), efficient and effective (admitted). In conclusion, great knowledge together with great personal service and caring support.

Candy is probably the person who knows more about MBAs in Spain. She is been very supportive, available when I need her, even in late hours. Very dedicated to her job. She has helped me through the whole process and willing to go the extra mile. She takes the best of every candidate and transforms them into a unique application. She can make the difference between an acceptance and a rejection. If you do not hire her, you will probably lose a great opportunity of getting accepted.

I was worried because my GMAT was under the school’s average and I knew I had to nail the rest of my application. I recommend Candy 100% as she was able to give me that extra bit of confidence I needed to succeed. She helped me to identify and organize my story throughout the entire application and make me shine on the interview and assessment day.
Her caring support and personal service are unmatched as she always makes herself available to provide her expertise when you need it even late at night.

I started working with Candy at the beginning of my MBA applications for the US. I was really lucky to work with her. She helped me discover aspects of my career that I had never thought of before. She has great sensitivity and skill in identifying the best qualities of each person and showing them as the tools to be the perfect candidate. If today I have been admitted to my university it has been thanks to her guidance throughout the whole process, her patience, her work and above all, her vocation. It is more than demonstrable that she is passionate about helping her clients, offering at every moment exactly what you need, making sure that you make your application on time. She is, definitely, an extraordinary person. Lucky to have received her help and trust.

I have been working with Candy on my applications since I decided to study for an MBA and I have to say that it has been perfect to have her guidance throughout the whole process. Her advice and experience in preparing candidates have been key to achieving my goals. She really knows how to guide you so that you show the best version of yourself in the essays and highlight those points that will make you be admitted to the school you want. She was always available to help and showed great commitment to deadlines. If I had to go through the whole process again, I would choose her again to guide me.

After working with Candy on my MBA application processes, I have understood that Candy’s combination of excellence, drive and individualised service offered are part of what makes her work incredibly popular among other applicants. At least 5 people recommended me to contact her when I was looking for a consultant to help me.
Candy is a truly committed professional that strives for perfection and never settles for acceptable or mediocre results. She led me through every application process, gave me very valuable insights that helped me make difficult decisions about my professional life, worked with me on each step of the application and provided me with her constant support. She has a very caring personality, she is always available and I always felt I could count on her and contact her whenever I needed advice or help.
With a GMAT of 670, I wouldn’t have been able to do such a good application without her. Candy turns her clients’ goals into realities!

Applying to an MBA is embarking on a long journey that will take at least 6 months. Having Candy by my side me throughout such a challenging process reassured me that I was on the good track. Starting with the overall strategy definition, followed by the help with the essays and the interviews, Candy’s guidance gave me confidence and allowed me to do my best. She was also very caring and supportive following up while I was waiting for a reply. I would definitely recommend her to anyone considering applying to an MBA.

Having a GMAT score lower than anticipated and with limited time to improve, my focus on having the perfect application quickly became my number one priority. A friend recommended Candy to me and after an initial call with her, I never looked further. Candy is an extremely empathic and professional consultant, catering to the requirements of the candidate and delivering a truly personal service.

I decided to go for her MAP session and could not have been more pleased. After an interesting meeting that felt like a true introspection into one-self, she laid out all the groundwork I needed to cover in a clear and precise manner. Through her thorough questions, she takes a deep dive into your persona finding those hidden elements that make each one of us unique. She discovered personal values that one had always either neglected or taken for granted and turned them into valuable skills that improved the application substantially. I was so impressed with the MAP session, I decided to have her help me with the rest of the process and was ever so grateful she did.

Candy has the unique ability of taking a dull application and polishing it to really make it stand out from the crowd by providing purpose, color, and a clear structure. She has been super helpful and responsive and has always been available for me, no matter the day or the time!

After several months of hard work, I was offered a seat in a top MBA program in the U.S. If it hadn’t been for Candy, I would have never made it in.

She truly takes the mystery and misery out of the whole process!

Thank you Candy!!

Excellent service!Extremely efficient, both in terms of insights and discussions generated but also on how fast Candy was on answering any request. Loved it!

Candy provided me with invaluable insights during the key parts of my admission process. Concretely, her guidance while preparing the different stories for my interview, her tips editing my essays and her 24/7 availability are what made Candy a game changer in my process with London Business School. I 100% recommend her

Candy was recommended to me by several friends so I decided to work with her. My GMAT was low so it made a lot of sense to choose a good application consultant. Candy for sure did not disappoint! She manages to understand the applicant’s profile, their strengths and their match with the different schools. After obtaining this view, she advises on which universities you could have a fit in and most importantly, those that are not worth even trying. She is very transparent and direct, but also a very close person who cares for her clients also on a more personal level. I can totally recommend working with Candy. For me, it was definitely a game changer!

Candy was one of the main reasons for my final admission decision. She was with me throughout the whole process, from the essays to my final face to face interview. Her experience, knowledge and her background will make the difficult admissions process easier and make you feel more confident as well. My final recommendation is 100%.

Candy has given me great advice during my application process. She has been key to avoiding some important errors in my essays and has been key to ending up with a high-quality application. Impressive how efficient she is at giving advice.

Candy is an outstanding MBA consultant. She was a key counterpart all throughout the process and was exceptional at helping me tailor my application in order to convey the best possible story/profile for MIT. Notwithstanding, she was helpful in the interview phase and even after admitted to MIT’s Sloan. Candy went above and beyond expectations and I would recommend her to anyone interested in pursuing an MBA.

Candy was crucial in my application process. I needed guidance on the overall process, particularly on finding my stories and how to present myself to my dream programs. Candy was always available from day one and key to keeping me motivated in this long process. I would definitely recommend Candy to anyone thinking of applying to a top MBA program.

Candy has been an incredible consultant to work with. She helped a lot throughout the process (from finding good stories to polishing the essays or preparing for the interview), working 24-7 and being kind and helpful all the time! She knows everything about business schools and will make your application stand out, with very competitive prices! I would 100% recommend her!

Candy is a perfect consultant especially for Europeans trying to break into highly competitive US Business Schools. As an American, she has the local knowledge and experience of US Schools, but she is also aware of our singularities as Europeans.
She provides realistic feedback in terms of chances to be accepted to specific schools based on your and the school’s profile and is able to see the full picture to determine the best strategic approach to secure a seat in one of your top choices.
She can quickly recognize your strengths and ensures that they are visible across the full application. Most importantly, she helps you by digging deep down into your past experiences and future goals to come up with a strong and well-rounded application.
After meeting some of my admitted future classmates, I can say that from GMAT scores to professional experience, the competition is brutal and increasing every year. Do not leave anything to chance and make sure you have an experienced and reliable extra set of eyes; for this, you can count on Candy!

Working with Candy was a crucial part to make it to INSEAD. She guided me throughout the whole INSEAD application process which is quite complex and time-consuming. Her work exceeded my expectations.

Candy has an outstanding knowledge about admissions at top schools and shows a strong commitment with her clients. I was impressed with how fast she understood my personality, story, and expectations. It was as if she knew me for years!

We worked very effectively together and I can only recommend her to anyone preparing for a top school. The admission process is very challenging and I would not take chances to do it all by myself.
I increased my odds of choosing Candy and it worked.

THANK YOU, CANDY!

If you need help with the Admission process for your dream MBA, Candy is definitely the right person.

I needed some help for my applications to both INSEAD and IESE, and she guided me through it, helping me to reflect my full potential and capabilities.

The two things I would highlight:
– Her knowledge of the application process
– Her 24/7 availability

The process of getting admitted by an MBA is hard. There are tons and tons of information, multiple tasks to do, prepare the GMAT… so guidance is more than welcome, and if Candy helps you, you have an exceptional guide.
She will help you with all the different aspects of the admission process by letting you show your true potential and guiding you about which schools will let you be closer to your goals.
After my first session with her, I gathered a lot of tips that help to choose wisely my future school, improve my essays and even help me in other aspects of my life, for example in how to face interviews and express what adds value.

Finally, I get admitted 🙂

I highly recommend Candy, she has a holistic knowledge about different Business Schools and provides insightful information about them, in my particular case, her help was vital to be admitted at London Business School. At the beginning of the process, she helped me identify my strengths and advised me on how to make my profile outstands during the application process. After that, we planned on how to approach the different documents and established the proper deadlines in order not to miss the application date. Once I started to work on my documents, her feedback became an extremely valuable tool to improve each of them, this aspect gave me the confidence of submitting a robust application. In addition to all of this help, when I was shortlisted to have the final interview, she helped me prepare myself to address it successfully. For all of these reasons, I consider that Candy is your best asset to ensure that you approach the application process with solid guarantees.

Candy’s help and assistance with my application was simply outstanding. I was well behind the deadline for round 4 but, after having discussed the situation with the school, they accepted to read my application, subject to some diligence and quickness submitting it. Thanks to Candy’s commitment and her incredibly extensive knowledge of the work, I was able to handle the situation, ease the pressure and, in the end, I could file a good application that got me to the interview – and, in the end, accepted at my most preferred business school – despite all the headwinds. She is available 24 hours 7 days a week. I can tell you.

Without hesitation, I would totally recommend her services. Her knowledge of applying, as well as her deep empathy and caring make her an excellent consultant in any dimension.

When I first started looking into the MBA world, all my friends who had done one at a top business school recommended Candy to me. Without her, the journey to an MBA would have been really impossible, but with her, it’s been smooth and comforting. She helped me center my applications, gave me insights into what each school was looking for, and helped me really find what my strengths were. She is also deeply caring and empathetic and will understand you all the way. I would totally recommend her, as I am sure she will maximize the chances of you getting accepted to a top business school.

Candy has been a key part in the success of my MBA application. Since the day we started working together I was stunned by the amount of insiders she had on all of the top Universities. That allowed me to make the right decisions during the application processes with the result of being accepted in 100% of the cases.

A friend of mine who was admitted to LBS and MIT recommend me, Candy.
I was quite lost with my application and Candy really help me to focus my essays and LORs.
She really knows what Top Business Schools are looking for and how to be a strong applicant.
I only applied to LBS in R3 and I have been admitted. I strongly recommend Candy.

When I took the decision to apply for a M7 MBA in the US the first thing I did was talk to people that were already accepted and living the experience there so I could understand better the culture of each school and the complexity of the application process. It easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of work you have to put in, self-reflecting to identify your story and strengths, why MBA, why now, why here… One thing that surprised me was that several people I talked to in my target schools recommended me the use of a consultant to help with this process, and they all pointed to the same person: Candy. They described her as the person you need in your team if you want to ace your application, and ensure you are going to get admitted to one of the top schools. After evaluating the situation, and talking to other consultants I decided to go with Candy and I can not be happier about that. I got accepted to my dream M7 school with a nontraditional background. Candy has a very methodic and structured process, she will first you identify the strengths of your profile, saving you tons of time thanks to her experience and tailoring those strengths to each one of the school cultures, which she knows very well. She will give you insights and suggest ways of reinforcing your profile to increase your success. She will push your boundaries to ensure your application reaches the highest standards you can provide, creating deadlines, and being available literally 24/7 to solve your doubts. I remember how she replied during the weekend when the application deadline was getting very close, and that helped reduced the anxiety and stress caused by such a process. Once you are handed the interview invite, the work does not stop there. She will help you prepare with a mock interview, to get used to the question and structure. For all the steps she prepares very thorough feedback to ensure that you are more than ready when the real interview happens. I can not be happier to have chosen Candy for this MBA application journey, she has been a key stakeholder in making my dream of going to the US come true. I strongly recommended her to any person willing to apply to the TOP MBA schools worldwide.

The MBA application is a nightmare: Research about schools, programs, and which one suits you better, what are the real chances of getting in to not to lose time unnecessarily, Europe Vs US MBAs…I had a lot of concerns and questions difficult to find online however Candy provided answers for all of them from the very first moment. Together we defined where to apply, how were the process for each one, and knowing she was alongside me helping you through the path really made the difference. In my case I was a reapplicant to some B-schools, my profile was exactly the same but with Candy, I could see how many great things I accomplished and showed them into my essays. Candy really really made the difference.

Candy was a key pillar of my application process. I applied to the top 3 European b-schools, and I was admitted to all of them!
With a 680 score on my GMAT, Candy helped me strengthen my application, building my best story, and preparing me to succeed in the interviews and admission process.

I paid for the ‘Application incubator’ service, and I highly recommended it. I would outline the following key points of the service:
– she has priceless insights from every school. Each school has its own culture and values, and she knows perfectly which points of your experience and skills you should highlight in your essays and CV to be a better fit for the school.
– she also knows perfectly the differences between the admission processes: Interviews conducted by Alumni or by admission officers, university assessment day, video interviews… Every selection process is different and knowing what to expect for each one, was highly valuable.

I highly recommend Candy to everyone wishing to be accepted in a world-top MBA in Europe or the US.

There are no enough words to describe how important was Candy in my applications. I applied to two top 10 business schools in the world and I got an offer from both, 2 out of 2! That would have not never happened without her. Candy has a deep knowledge of the most important Business Schools in the world, guiding you to make the best possible application for any top business school you apply.

First of all, Candy will help you with the CV, she will review professional experience to understand what things you should highlight on your CV and then, she will help you with the essays.

There is no best asset than Candy to outstand the application essays. She will try to know more about yourself, your experiences, your histories, to take the best of yourself and to reflect it on your essays.

Candy is great! She will work really hard on your application and she will help you until the very last step of the admissions process.

No doubt Candy boosted my odds to get into my dream business school. She is a safe value!

The MBA application process is long and tiring, so counting on someone that has the experience and the know-how is an invaluable asset!

Candy helped me from the very beginning. I am from a noncommon background and thought it was hard to get it done.

She always believed in me and my possibilities; she was there when the GMAT didn’t go as I expected giving patience and to indicate the following steps… This truly helps when you are lost.

She also gave precious tips for my essays and really pushed me to reflect enough in order to get top essays. She also made an effort to get to know me and understand who I am which clearly boosts the quality of her help.

Well, I got accepted into Columbia Business School, the only school I applied for as I really wanted it.
I would never be able to repay Candy for her help.
I certainly recommend her! Es una crack!!!! 😉

Candy has been extremely helpful during my application process. She is very professional with a wide knowledge of universities and MBAs. She knows exactly what each university is looking for and prepares you not only with all documentation but also with the interviews. She also suggested some programs I didn’t know about. She stands out your strengths and helps you improve your weaknesses. I strongly recommend her services. One of the best decisions I have made! Furthermore, she has a great personality.

Candy was very helpful in the essay part of my application. She is kind and certainly knows the business. She has a long record of successful applicants to top schools.
I certainly recommend her.

Working on my applications with Candy has been the best decision I have taken on the long application process.
First, she was super helpful when I was deciding on which B-schools I would apply to, as she is an experienced professional with a deep understanding of each b-school’s culture and fit. She understood my profile and my stories (strengths, weaknesses, etc), and she helped me craft my application essays in order to bring forward my maximum potential. She is 100% committed to her clients (working on weekends and holidays when needed!) and, at a personal level, she is an amazing person that you know you can count on at any point for any kind of advice. I applied to INSEAD and LBS and I received an offer from both, and I know that this wouldn’t have been possible without her guidance and help! I strongly recommend Candy to any person that wants to attend B-school!

I was not a good GMAT taker and my 670 required to put all efforts into my INSEAD application. After speaking to Candy she kindly accepted to work together. I had the advantage of a nice story to tell (transactions+strategy consultancy+corporate) and she really helped me to show the best of me on my application. I also sometimes need some kind push and Candy will always set some sort of internal calendar and deadlines to coordinate with you. Very accessible and friendly. Pricing was reasonable.

Candy proved to be the support system I needed throughout my whole application’s journey. I got a late start into the applications process and a second-year MBA student recommended me to go through the process with Candy, which was truly the best choice I could have made. Since the very first moment, Candy was helpful and on-point, keeping me on track and in time with all the procedures and deadlines. Candy knows all the Business Schools inside out, she knows exactly not only what I needed to show for each school, but also what needed to be done at each point in time. Understanding my own strengths and weaknesses was also an essential part of the process and Candy helped me to see myself through a different lens. If you really want to succeed and get into your dream MBA school, Candy is the best choice you could ever make, I could not recommend her more; she will truly make you stand out!

I discovered Candy in the middle of the application process. I had already reflected on my essays and even drafted most of them, but I thought I could use some advice. I could tell from our first call that she knows what she talks about. Candy helped me organize my story, provided extremely useful tips of where to develop further and which stories required further back-up with examples, also what info didn’t add value (beware of the word count!).
I saved time, stayed motivated to continue improving my essays and, last but not least, felt accompanied during the toughest parts of the MBA application journey. I got accepted at my first (and only) choice.

Since my very first interview with Candy, she proved to be extremely helpful. Not only did she know what each of the Business Schools focused on and helped me adapt the admission process, but also guided me through the self-reflection process needed to identify my strong and weak points.
Her comprehensive service covers all the steps of the process, from CV set-up to interviews. Experienced and with a long success track-record, I think Candy is the best option to succeed in the competitive task of entering your desired Business School.

Candy knows really well how to get the most out of you. When I first met her, she completely got me and understood who I was and what I wanted for my MBA. She helped me chose the programs that best fitted me and ensured I highlighted the qualities those universities were looking for. Candy was also very supportive during this though journey, even when the odds were against me. Working with her was the best thing I did to achieve my goals, and I would recommend 100% her services to anyone who wants to apply to an MBA. Thank you very much Candy!

Candy has been really helpful during the whole the application process. She makes the most out of your personal and professional experiences and knows what is key to have an application that stands out among the rest. Furthermore, she knows by heart the application process of almost any School that you can image and definitely knows how to adapt your story to each University you might want to apply. In short, she is an expert and you will take advantage of it. Apart from her expertise and her unparalleled help, she is an excellent person and someone to count on.

I hired her services for the MAP and she clearly stated my odds to be admitted in the MBAs, showed which MBAs made sense for me and most of all; really deepened into my profile to exploit those angles where I could have useful strengths. She then helped me shape and tell my story. I highly recommend her services. She is EXCELLENT, not only as a editor and MBA advisor but also as an honest person you want to hear from. I would surely hire her again!!!

Candy has been extremely helpful and supportive during all the application. She is amazing in helping you through the process of self-reflection and makes your application shine in all possible ways. Moreover, she has great knowledge of all the application process and her insights are of unparalleled value. I am sure that, without her help, I would not have been able to succeed. Thank you so much for all your support!

Candy is an excellent professional and knows well how to do her job. She knows perfectly what each school is looking for and supported me a lot during the application process. Thanks to her help, we managed to build a strong application that was able to tackle my below average GMAT.

The result couldn’t have been better since I eventually got admitted at LBS and IESE MBAs with a 100% success ratio.

I strongly recommend her services.

I only have words of gratitude towards Candy. I am certain Candy is the best consultant in Spain for MBA admissions.

She helped me get admitted to the MBA program of Columbia Business School. It is very possible that I could not do it without her help.

Candy definitely gave me valuable information to choose which MBA fits better with my career goals. She gave me very helpful feedback and tips to enhance my CV. She oriented me to define my careers goals and identify my strengths. Definitely Candy helped me to add great value to my application.

I would strongly recommend Candy to those who want to pursue an MBA at a Top Business School.

Looking back on the long and tough MBA application process, it is clear to me that Candy played an instrumental role in me getting an offer at my target B-school. Since the very beginning in the MAP session, Candy helped me shape my story, identifying what experiences were meaningful and worth telling. Her help throughout the essay drafting process, providing insightful feedback in each iteration, was invaluable in getting all I needed to say within the word limit. Candy shows real passion in what she does, and goes the extra-mile in helping you succeed in your application. I would totally recommend her.

I have already been admitted to my top choice school and I am confident that a big part of my admission is thanks to Candy´s great advice and support throughout the process. Beginning with the MAP session, she helped me clarify doubts that I couldn’t clarify online and to create a clear, structured road map to getting into my first choice. She was also of incredible help with the essays. She clearly knows what each top business school is looking for and she supported me in highlighting things she thought the school would find interesting. I didn’t have to work much with her, as I got accepted in the only school I applied, but overall she was super helpful and I totally recommend her.

My friend introduced me to Candy after she got into to her dream school and I am so glad she did. Candy helped me identify my flaws and strengths to bolster my essays as a re-applicant. Candy’s detail to attention and promptness in getting back to me with edits really helped me move forward. Her support went beyond essay edits, as she would consult me even when I was stressed with the application process. Thanks to Candy I was admitted to my dream school recently, and I really couldn’t have done it without her.

Candy guided me through the all process (app, essays, interviews…) for many US schools. She really knows them very well and has had very positive experiences with many of my friends. I can only be thankful for her services. I was accepted to my first choice in a short period of time, but not before putting forth huge effort and hard work. She rapidly identified my weaknesses and strengths and helped me show the best version of myself for each of the universities. She has always been willing to help me and has been available 24/7. Would I count on her services again? OF COURSE.

Candy has been very helpful during the whole application process. She really knows what each MBA is looking for, and she can also guide you as to which schools fits best with your goals. In addition, she helped me identify my past experiences that truly reflect who I am. Also, she provided me with strong essay guidance and fast and concise editing and feedback, which is key to meet the deadlines. Finally, I got accepted in 3 top 10 schools. I truly recommend contacting Candy!!

Since the first interview with her, Candy knew which strengths I should underline through all the elements of the application (CV, essays, videos…). Her advice and edits helped me turn a difficult background in finance and a medical startup into clear stories that showed my fit with the EMBA. She is able to increase your confidence to accomplish your goal. Her personal implication and support makes you feel that you are not alone in the hard application process. She has been also a great help to meet the deadlines.

Candy is the perfect person to make your profile shine. Her vast experience allows her to rapidly identify your biggest strengths and achievements and to make the most of your story. Besides, she perfectly knows the top business schools in Europe and USA, so her tips regarding the perfect school for each one are accurate.

More importantly, you could also expect from her honest and valuable tips, 24/7 support and always good mood.

In summary, I completely recommend Candy to any MBA seeker who wants to make his/her profile to glow.

Candy supported me personally and morally throughout the intense application process. I was applying in a late round and with a non-typical background and she really helped me find my story and create essays that reflected that. She was there for me whenever I called or emailed and she always gave me a fast reply. She also helped me to prepare my interviews, helping me to discover my strengths and how to show my value. Finally we accomplish our goal and I got admitted!

Candy is really good in the understanding of schools especially differences between US and EU. She guides you to the ones you have more success opportunities depending on your profile. She is able to take the most out of your story to make it appealing and impactful. In my case, with a low GMAT I managed to get accepted in 2 top 5 schools, thanks to her strong essay guidance and fast and concise editing. She also gives support in extra areas like video questions, interviews… Very recommendable and outstanding results!

I have to thank a lot of things to LaBalle Admissions. Because of my medical background, I was scared about how I would prepare an application to a top MBA. I am glad I asked for help to LaBalle Admissions. Candy is not an advisor, but also a coach. She gives you constant support, both professionally and personally—anytime at all. She has a fantastic ability to extract strengths from someone, skills that you would never think as strengths. As a medical doctor, she really helped me present my application to admissions and to share clearly how I would fit in the MBA, also with her expert editing process. Also, she helped me prepare the interview through highly valuable mock sessions. Otherwise, I would have done an absolutely worse admissions interview. In conclusion, without Candy´s help, my dream project would have been just a dream.

Constant support, both professionally and personally —applying is stressful, she was always there to help. Expert editing. She really helped me find my voice and tell my story. In-depth interview prep.
