Christine B.

Through out my whole application journey for MBA, Christine was very professional, responsive, and genuine. I was targeting Columbia from the beginning and she was there for every steps that required. I didn’t not set any budget on hiring consultant because my only goal was to get admitted to the school that I want. I am based in New York and I was only targeting Columbia. I talked to about 10 different consultants including some consultants that my MBA friends recommended. From the complimentary video call with Christine, I was able to know right away that she is professional and very experienced. With her solid background of working at admission offices at different schools, she really knows how to effectively tell your own, authentic and personal story into application essays. When it comes to MBA application, I knew that it’s all about strategy on how to present yourself through applications (essays, resume and interview) and how to be the well rounded applicant for schools. With her many years of experience at this field, she really knows how to craft the best application. I am very happy with the result and deeply thankful to her for everything.

I used Christine for a six-school package (all M7) and had a great experience! She was very organized and did a great job of keeping me on pace to finish well ahead of deadlines, despite my schedule rapidly changing. Overall, Christine provided thoughtful input into my essays and teasing out a more meaningful story. Her feedback was very pointed and was helpful in creating the next steps. As you’d expect, Christine was highly knowledgeable on the admissions process and how to differentiate for each school. I ended up getting interviews with 3/6 schools and was accepted into 2. Thanks, Christine!

From the first consultation until I was admitted, Christine was extremely helpful and easy to work with! It was immediately obvious that she cares about her clients. She was instrumental in helping me understand and build my most effective and authentic story. Any time I had a question throughout the process she was always available to chat and provide feedback. Her previous experience working in admissions helped me gain a better understanding of the entire picture of my application. In the end, I was admitted to my top two schools. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who is considering an MBA consultant.

Christine was a pleasure to work with! I was initially skeptical of MBA consultants as the previous consultants I spoke with before Christine was mostly focused on their sales pitch and pointing out my weaknesses. My initial consultation with Christine was like a breath of fresh air. She provided a detailed assessment of my profile from the MBA Prep School quiz and constructive advice on what I should focus my essays on. She took the time to understand me and my story, helping me craft an application that was authentic to me. In addition to essay help, Christine provided me emotional support throughout the application process whenever I doubted myself and gave me the confidence to forge on despite my initial rejections from my R1 schools. I can tell that Christine truly cares about her clients and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for an MBA consultant!

Christine was outstanding to work with through my MBA application process. She was instrumental in setting out a strategic plan to navigate past my embarrassingly low undergrad GPA and highlighting my strengths in the applications. Her vast knowledge of elite European schools and previous experience in admissions were invaluable, as she was always readily available to deal with any question or issue at moment’s notice. Ultimately, I was accepted into my #1 choice. I highly recommend Christine and MBA Prep. The investment was worth every penny.

I was highly sceptical about using an admissions consultant when doing my research. It seemed a bit like the Wild West with various different consultants quoting me vastly different fees. Beyond an initial phone call there wasn’t much else to go on considering the substantial investment. So when I came across Christine and she told me about her experience actually working as an admissions officer at Booth and LBS I immediately felt comfortable parting with my hard earned cash as I realised there was real value to be had in having her expertise to tap in to. Here was someone who could back up that they actually knew what they were talking about!

I don’t regret my decision. After our first strategy call I was taken aback by how perceptively and quickly Christine understood me as a person and how from that, a strategy was developed that really emphasised by points of difference. This was backed up by a relentless focus on putting my best foot forward in all of my essays and tailoring my application to each school whilst maintaining my authenticity as a candidate.

This was backed up by excellent editing skills (which i don’t think can be underestimated as this is a tricky balance for an admissions consultant to get right between being too invasive and not offering enough polishing); along with super quick responses and great organisation to keep us on track.

In the end, once I had submitted all my applications, I felt like I had left everything on the field. I knew that any offers or dings from that point were out of my control. I had done my all and presented the best and most honest version of myself. I did get a few dings but I didn’t feel bad about that because I realised that if I wasn’t a good match for the school after presenting the best version of me, then that is ultimately to my benefit.

Being a non-traditional (an entrepreneur) candidate when I first started on this journey I genuinely didn’t believe I had a shot at the top schools. By the end of it, although I got a few dings, I got two offers with scholarships including one that covers most of my tuition at a T15 school in the US.

Throughout the whole process Christine was more than a top professional she was also a confidante who picked me up when my confidence was low and having someone in your corner that understand the emotional stresses of the application process is really invaluable.

I don’t know if I would have done so well without a consultant – I will never know. There are certainly a few bandits out there that I think are only really interested in your money. But with Christine I definitely felt she was emotionally invested in my success more than anything else.

If you are in two minds then reach out to Christine and have a free initial call. I suspect you won’t regret it!
