Consultant Bio

At Ivy, the philosophy is simple: your application is our application. Here’s the thing – when we applied to MBA programs, we didn’t know what we were doing. And there was no one around to offer the type of help we needed. Would anyone be willing to review our essays and provide feedback? Were there any alumni who could advise us regarding school fit? — Frankly, we had no tools – all we had was a phone and some nerve. So half way through our MBA tracks at Kellogg and Tuck, we wanted to start a consulting firm that micromanaged the hell out of our clients. We wanted to be much more than essay editors; we are mentors.

As Ivy founders, we don’t consider our job done when we match a client with an advisor – our job is done when our client gets accepted. For that reason, we created a process that keeps at least 3 sets of eyes on your work at any given moment, from story allocation, career path, written collateral, to interview prep. If you’re not sick of us by the time you get your first congratulations letter, you must not have gotten it yet.

Company Information

With over 20 years of accumulated MBA wisdom and advisors who are top-tier program veterans, we are proud to say that our anti-laissez-faire approach has proved itself big time. Ivy MBA Consulting was the first admissions consulting firm in the world to verify success rate using a Big 4 accounting firm. Deloitte confirmed both the 91.2% success rate and $2,194,000 in total scholarships of Ivy MBA Consulting in 2014-2015 application season. A copy of the report is available to any who wish to double check. Previous reports are available as well.

Menu of Services and Associated Costs

The day we started Ivy we were reading essays until 4am, and that hasn’t changed a decade later. That’s because Ivy MBA Consulting does not take your investment lightly. We realize this decision is not only expensive; it will have a drastic impact on your future. That is why we created a comprehensive, multistep method that follows you through every step, with every school, and every bump along the way. Our process starts with mapping your life stories – we sift through even the most trivial details to find gems that portray your character. We then take these stories to an in-depth brainstorming session involving Ivy’s veterans to come up with the best story allocation per school. Once working on essays, we offer an unlimited number of draft iterations, as well as a final quality assurance quality pass by the founders of Ivy.

  • HBS Deferred 2+2 Admit: Eli Was A GAMECHANGER
    3 months ago
    I found Eli through a trusted recommendation from a colleague that I admired at work who had attended a top MBA program. Following our initial consultation call, I immediately knew that Eli was the partner I needed to navigate the MBA application process. As a deferred MBA applicant - I knew that the odds of admission where much slimmer in comparison to traditional programs due to the limited number of seats. During our initial consultation, Eli was straightforward about this fact, allowing me to reflect on my long-term career vision. Working with Eli allowed me to secure deferred admission to 3 M7's + Harvard Business School. Eli's straightforward honesty was integral towards my application process. His immense amount of experience and expertise within MBA admissions allowed ...

    I cannot give enough praise to Eli David (Ivy MBA Consulting), the most amazing MBA admissions consultant out there. I spoke to a few consultants but after hearing rave reviews from so many friends who had achieved their goals with his help, I knew I had to reach out to him. My target was exceptionally challenging: an M7 program with a full scholarship. The odds were not in my favor, but Eli’s confidence never wavered.

    My wife and I applied as a couple, and both worked with Eli during the past application season. We found Eli through P&Q after my Booth DIY application was rejected in my R1 application. Despite having only two months until the R2 deadline, Eli effectively helped us navigate the process.

  • GSB Admitted: Eli Is My Secret Sauce
    7 months ago
    I could not over-express my gratitude for Eli. He understands the real 'art' of MBA applications, especially for highly competitive programs like Stanford and Harvard. His guidance truly helped me anchor myself and achieved my goals - going into the process, I only had one school that I wanted to attend: GSB. No other schools mattered. I had good work experiences but my GPA was below GSB's average. Knowing the low admission rate of 6%, it was naturally a daunting process, and I was clueless on how to tackle the giant. Eli gets what makes an application unique that stands out from a large pool: the essay. He took the lead and really helped shape the entire application from start to finish that ...

    Eli is absolutely incredible! I went into the MBA application process quite nervous, but Eli’s coaching and feedback enabled me to tell my authentic story - and the MBA programs saw that too! I applied to HBS, Stanford, and Wharton, received interviews at all three schools, and gained admission into HBS and Wharton!!! I could not be more happy with my decision. The devil is in the details, and what sets Eli apart is his meticulous feedback at every step of the process. He is incredibly thorough and constantly pushed me to dig deeper, whether that was with the resume, the essays, or the short-answer questions sprinkled throughout every application.

For every essay, he translated what the school was really after and recommended structures ...

Yes – even after 2 months, Eli is here, available for every question and is so happy to help. This was the case throughout the entire process. Choosing to work with Eli was not difficult. After speaking with many advisers, the call with Eli was very different. He was the sharpest of them all and was able to show me different approaches that other advisers did not. I felt much more confident and the choice was easy. The name of the game ...

  • One Way Ticket Into School
    3 years ago
    If you’re an applicant from a non-traditional background, you simply must connect with Eli. When I decided to apply for an MBA, I approached Eli. It was about a year away from submission. I didn’t have the long track record of business successes that many applicants bring to the table. Eli gave me the honest (brutal) truth about my chances and it was not easy to hear. When I decided I wanted to go for it regardless, Eli guided me on what I should do over the following months to increase my chance. This included actions in various areas of life, not only the professional one. With Eli’s consistent guidance and extensive knowledge, I secured admission to INSEAD. Through every step of the application process, Eli ...

  • 10/10 Would Recommend Eli For MBA Schools Globally
    3 years ago
    After speaking with 6 different consultants, I decided on Ivy Consulting because of Eli -- his straightforward manner cut through all of the noise around what I thought I 'should' be doing in my applications, and helped me figure out the best path forward in my applications for me personally. I looked at schools in both Europe and the US, and Eli was one of the only consultants I spoke with that had an in-depth understanding of the nuances of the process in both regions. He always made himself available to have a call and talk through the questions I had (and there were many). With Eli's help, I'm headed to INSEAD in the fall and could not be happier with my choice of consultant. ...

    Professionalism, knowledge, guidance, availability and positivity. These are the words that describe Eli and the process I have gone through with him, in getting admittance to MIT Sloan and Kellogg. My two dream schools. If there is one thing you should not skip is having an intro call with Eli. He gave me so many things to think about that no one else even thought of during my calls before. He knows EVERYTHING there is to know in the MBA domain and was able to guide me into building the best, most crafted strategy for the schools. I had strengths in me I wasn’t even aware of until Eli pointed them out. Every story we thought about turned out to be amazing on paper and I felt ...

    I’ll start with the results- I got admitted to Booth, Columbia, Kellogg (80K scholarship), and Yale (full scholarship) with a GMAT slightly lower than the schools’ average. I am delighted with the results and the application process. I could only do it with Eli’s help, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to apply. I first learned of Eli from former workmates he got Into Harvard and Booth. It was a great decision working with him. He was direct and straight to the point from the first moment, always attentive to detail. He provided excellent feedback on essays, resumes, videos, and interviews. He perfected and planned every area we worked on. He worked tirelessly to help me perfect my story. He spent extended time with ...

    Eli is very structured in his approach and helped demystify the process from start to finish. He has a keen sense of what admissions officers are looking for and worked tirelessly with me to help craft a cohesive story that would weave through my essays, experiences, resumes, interviews and all other aspects of the application process. Eli does not mince words and is very direct in his feedback, so you will develop thick skin by the end of the process! For someone who was simultaneously moving countries and working a demanding job, I really appreciated his efficiency and promptness. I would highly recommend working with Eli for your MBA application needs. I owe him a lot of credit for helping me get accepted to Harvard and Wharton. ...

Eli understood exactly where I came from and how I wanted to approach the application. He exposed me to schools that fit me better than I initially thought. But this was just the start. The work with Eli exceeded everything I expected. Eli was knowledgeable in every area of the application and around it. For every dilemma I presented, he explained the options and suggested the best course of action. It was the case for the bigger questions and the smallest ones.

    I reached out to Eli after I received warm recommendations from friends who were accepted to Harvard and worked with him on their applications in the past. At first, I hesitated since I wasn't sure I needed a consultant, but today I am so grateful for their recommendations and for Eli's support and guidance. Eli was the best consultant I could ask for to accompany me in the long application process. He was super professional and to the point, he guided me throughout the application, highlighted important angles, helped me to surface my achievements, and supported me in building a strong candidacy. I recommend Eli without reservation!

Everything was under control throughout the entire process, and I could feel every step of the way how Eli helped me in perfecting my application and achieving the best possible result.

    My work with Eli started when I was still “feeling the water” regarding an MBA. Eli was recommended to me by two friends who were admitted to Harvard and Duke, and he provided initial advice based on my personal background and aspirations. From the beginning, I saw that Eli was able to hit the points I was concerned about and show how to remedy those. When I made my decision to move forward with the application, Eli articulated very clearly what was expected from me as an applicant and how he would help me get there, and he was available for me almost 24/7 throughout the process even though we live in exact opposites of the world. Eli started by building the overall strategy for my ...

He clearly knows what the school is looking for and how to structure your application to meet those wants.

    After having initial meetings with a number of consultants, I decided on Eli, and could not be happier with the result of the process. Eli takes his time to fully understand the candidate, peeling back layers to uncover the true 'why' behind your application. He then works with you to build an incredibly cohesive school-specific narrative. Eli is meticulous with each component of the application and is relentless in helping you become the strongest candidate possible. His direct and thoughtful approach not only helped me build an incredible application but also helped me feel 10x more comfortable in my interviews, as I was prepared for any question thrown my way. Unlike other consultants, Eli would always get back to me with revisions to essays, ...

I contacted Eli when I was about a year and a half out from applying to business school, and he was able to give me a very objective assessment of the strengths of my application and things I should change/work on before applying. This type of straightforward feedback was a key part of the process of working with Eli. He pushed me on every essay and short answer to make sure it was the strongest possible, even if it meant doing many many (needed) iterations on some of my essays.

But working with David was a phenomenal experience from the start. He was not just an extremely professional admissions consultant, but a strategy guru and life coach. On our first call, David suggested that I wait a year to get more experience in my new job. I was quite surprised by that advice as he was essentially risking missing out on a client.

Notably, I am usually not the type of person to write reviews for anybody, but my experience with Eli was so overwhelmingly positive, I had to make an exception. I’m still uncertain that 1,000 words are sufficient to describe how much Eli helped me throughout the entire journey and how much I appreciated him. I will do my best. Before the end of the round-one application process this year, I had already lost confidence in all MBA admission consultants.

    Choosing Ivy as my MBA consultant was literally the move that made the application process. From day one Eli was one-hundred percent available and ready with all the answers and support I needed. When it came to the actual application, Eli put incredible effort into helping me with everything. This made even the things I was worried about go smoothly, like crafting my essays: Eli identified strengths of mine that I didn’t think of, just because they maybe didn’t fit in a CV, but were just as important if not more to make my story compelling. I’m sure I couldn’t have presented a better version of myself than what they helped me put on paper (and later in in-person interviews). I really felt he ...

  • The Proof Is In The Pudding
    5 years ago
    I interviewed a number of consultants but was sold by David’s enthusiasm about my profile and conviction that I was very competitive for Harvard and Wharton. David was the consummate professional, guiding me through every step of the process and ensuring that my application was perfect before hitting submit. David significantly increased the quality of my application which is evidenced by my eventual admittance to Wharton. David’s interview prep and mock-TBD were both game-changing and gave me a significant leg up once I was invited to the interview process for Wharton. All in all, David made a huge effort to get to know me, and my story, and helped me present it in an incredibly compelling way that I could never have imagined without his help. I ...

    I would like to thank Eli and Sharon for helping me make my dream come true. The application process was a tiring and exhausting process and I cannot stress enough how much Sharon’s support and guidance helped me go through it successfully. The narrative we built together felt natural and right for me, which made my application and essays strong, inspiring, and successful. Even though I did not feel fully prepared for each interview, Eli’s confidence in me was proven correct as I got accepted to where I wanted. Thank you Ivy Consulting.

    On my first conversation with Ivy Consulting, they told me that “we are about changing lives”. Six months later, I can’t emphasize how much they were right. I went into the applications process with some hesitations, without being sure about my future directions, fearing that I would not be admitted to one of the top schools I’ve applied to. Thanks to Eli, I learned how to write a coherent essay about myself, not underestimate my achievements, and gained confidence in English essay writing. Maya (his colleague) did a wonderful job preparing me for the interview. He was always accessible and professional. Thanks to his consulting, my application was uncomparable to my original essays and ideas. Eventually, thanks to him and his team, I was admitted ...

    The way that Eli and his team worked was just what I needed. They made sure always to be available for any question or rewrite I required, they taught me the "MBA Application's" language, and explained the intricacies of each school and how to approach them. Talking with the team felt like this mission wasn't mine alone; they were with me under the stretcher. Looking back at the process, I can honestly say that having Eli and his team as my consultants made the difference.

To make things more challenging, I was targeting a specific, extremely competitive, full scholarship. Writing this review is obviously after I succeeded in achieving both objectives. Both David and Sharon were available throughout the process to work on all the documents. They made me work hard and put in a lot of work on the documents.

    In my opinion, Eli is one of the best MBA consultants. He is really strong at strategic planning and storytelling. In the early stage, when we discussed the right MBA programs for my background and career goals, Eli showed me a deep dive analysis and presented the strength of each top program. In addition, he also gave me an overview of his working style and the entire application process with a roadmap, alleviating my concern. Moreover, because of his excellent strategy, we were able to manage the time efficiently and eventually submit 4 applications at round 1 within a tight timeline. Eli’s other strength is his storytelling ability. To help me distinguish from other applicants for the top MBA programs, Eli pushed really hard on ...

Unsure whether I wanted to work with an MBA consultant at all, I took calls with more than 10 top firms that appealed to me on the P&Q list. David stood out to me for two main reasons...  (1) Speed: he responded to me within hours and set up the first call the same day, offering me a small demo of what it might look like to work together (2) No "bs": when you go through the process of scouting consultants, you end up hearing a lot of the same pitches.

David developed a winning strategy that I was extremely comfortable with and enabled me to get the offer I wanted.

    I first talked to Eli 2 years before starting my application for my MBA - from that point on Eli has mentored me in choices to help me get into a top MBA program. When working on my application Eli has been there for me almost 24/7, always available for a call on every small detail. His advices are priceless - in every conversation with him it is clear that he is a professional who has been doing this for years. I had already recommended Eli to one of my closest friends - which is probably the best sign of how happy I am that I chose to work with him, and I would definitely recommend that to everyone.

    David took all the guesswork out of the application process. He was absolutely invaluable, and choosing to work with him was the best decision I made. David provided an expert point of view on each tiny aspect of every single application, along with direct and clear-cut coaching on how to assemble the best application package. I appreciated how much he pushed me, and his willingness to do whatever it took and make himself available at all hours. We worked hard and it payed off.

    I had an amazing experience working with Eli and his colleague Boaz. Right from the get-go I had a feeling I was in good hands. Eli and Boaz accurately and honestly analyzed my strengths and weakness and helped me build the perfect application strategy for me. It was obvious Eli was very experienced, knew all the different nuances of every school and what would be the best strategy. The work itself was extremely efficient and professional. They had a special consultant who helped me to prefect my resume and they were available 24/7 for any question or concern. Most importantly, I got into all the schools I applied to and even received a scholarship. I highly recommend Ivy as your MBA consultants!

    I had a 710 GMAT, ok grades, from an ok university, and as such, didn’t really believe I had a shot at these schools. I got into every one of them. What David helped me realise was the uniqueness of my story post graduation, and although he will not wright anything for you, he will make you think deeply and push you to present yourself in the most authentic and positive light. I can’t describe the value he added to my application through his feedback and coaching. David knows his stuff, listen to him, and I have no doubt you will succeed. Thank you so much for your help David.

    I worked closely with David and the consulting team in every step of the application process: deciding which business schools to apply, building application strategy for each school, writing CV and essays and editing and fine-tuning the application to make sure it was the best fit for each top-tier school and preparing for the interviews. Ivy team was there at every hour available for any consultation, question or hesitation that came along the long way, and the process (and results) would not have been the same without them. After receiving the amazing news from Harvard, Stanford and MIT David & the Ivy team were almost as excited as I was, as they were true partners for this long and challenging process.

I followed his advice and we were in touch all along. David kept reinforcing my confidence and helping me when I had questions. When we started the application process, David knew already how he wanted things to look like. He was confident the whole way.

    I worked with Eli two years ago when I was doing my MBA research. Eli called me on an Israeli holiday and we had a long conversation about choosing schools to apply for and building strategy together. Eli connected me with students from many business schools to help me make my decision. After choosing schools, Eli worked with me days and nights to make sure that my application is perfect. Although I had a tight timeline, we made it happen and I was admitted to Fuqua on the early round. Eli has a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the application process.

    Working with David has become a family tradition! Six years ago, he helped my older brother get into several top five schools. He was as super-professional and supportive for me as he was for my brother, and helped me achieve the same great results, as I have been admitted to several top schools. When I started the process, I felt I could approach David with any question. He showed a level of knowledge, thinking, and rational decision making which was exceptional. His group of editors and the interview prep team were extremely professional. I especially remember the mock interview for Wharton, which proved to be fateful, as that’s the school I will be attending this fall. I highly recommended David and his team!

When I got the big bold “YES” from my mostly strived school, I felt like I could have achieved anything. If I would have decided, a decade ago, to become an astronaut – today I could have become one. That was the feeling. I remember that time once when one of Ivy representative called me to ask if I was pleased with the process. It was at mid-July, several weeks prior application submission. I answered ...

  • Absolute professionals when it comes to MBA admissions consulting
    7 years ago
    My acquaintance with David had begun way before I even took the GMAT. When I contacted him, at the advice of a friend of mine, he gave me priceless advice helping me to better position myself towards the application process. When I finally started applying I was exposed to Ivy's strong professionalism and know-how, which manifested in a meticulously planned process. David and his colleagues' advice and input made a huge and measurable difference in each phase: the initial strategic planning, the writing of the application materials, the preparation for the interviews (including invaluable mocks), the scholarship essays, and the final decision between the schools. David and Ivy's team were always available and responded promptly to each question or worry that I had, something that ...

  • Eli David is an absolute miracle worker & #1 in the b-school consulting business
    7 years ago
    Spoiler Alert: I interviewed at Harvard, was admitted to Columbia, and will be starting at Wharton this fall as a merit scholarship recipient (I only applied to these three programs). But I can assure you that I'm not the all-star b-school candidate that you might be imagining. I didn't go to a fancy undergrad, my GPA was just average, my gmat score was just above 700, and I am a non-traditional applicant a few years older than the average b-school student. My x-factor was undeniably Eli David. I am absolutely certain that I would not have had the success I had without Eli, Rom, and the IVY team- it's a definitive fact. It's truly difficult to effectively capture the profound amount of knowledge and expertise ...

  • It is worth every penny
    7 years ago
    Ivy MBA Consulting got me the results that I wanted. The working methodology is very well-organized and builds you up to reach your full potential.  The consultants are very responsive to questions, provided an excellent background on each school’s application process, and provided clear guidance on the elements of my profile that fitted well with each school. During the first round I applied to 4 top 7 universities at the US with different MBA consultant and was dissatisfied with the results. I decided to use Ivy MBA Consulting services during the second round after I consulted with many friends of being a great MBA consulting company. The results were amazing, I was admitted to 3 out of 5 universities with a significant scholarship!!! I 100% ...

  • I owe my sucess to Eli and the team at Ivy
    7 years ago
    Eli and the team at Ivy consulting where there for me in every step of the long journey towards a top-tier MBA. From helping me understand which schools are right for me, to brainstorming a great strategy for each school, unrelentlessly honing the essays I have written until they were perfect, and preparing me for interviews. Eli has also been extremely flexible and accomodating towards certain specific constraints I had along the way, and always available to provide guidance or a quick answer for a question that "bugged" me. Not only did I feel great throughout the process, the end results speak for themselves - I was admitted to three top-tier schools, each with a generous scholarship, and Ivy consulting has a huge part in that achievement. Thank ...

  • Not just a number - a consultant who truly listens
    7 years ago
    David has been a tremendous help and over the past year and has helped through 7 applications leading to an admission into a top MBA. Most consultants I talked to dissed me because I was too young but David believed in me. With Ivy, you're not a number, you're a person with your aspirations and dreams. This is what differentiates them from other consultants. David, Lianne and the others were always here to help when I faced a difficult decision, always here to listen when I had concerns. For instance, while other consultants suggested I diversify my target schools and apply to some tier-2 school although I specifically told them that I did not want to do so, David understood my decision and ...
