Malvika

Working with Malvika on my MBA applications was game changing! Especially having worked for almost 4 years now, it is very challenging to truly bring out your story in a compelling and authentic way. Malvika’s feedback on my essays were invaluable and landed me a spot at HBS! I am very thankful to have had Malvika’s and the Vantage Point team’s support.

I had a fantastic experience collaborating with Vantage Point. Navigating the MBA application process can often feel daunting, but their well-organized resources effectively simplify it, guiding you through each step with clarity.

Malvika Nayak was a great partner to have by my side. From day one, she helped me sort through my ideas and really focus on what stories to tell. She didn’t hesitate to push me to dig deeper, and it’s clear she knows what makes an essay stand out.

Definitely recommend investing in this; the support and advice I got were top-notch.

I highly recommend Malvika and Vantage Point to anyone who is considering hiring an MBA admissions consultant.
I spoke to 3 different companies through their free consultations. Of the three, Vantage Point was clearly willing to offer the most time and most personalized experience. It was also reassuring to be referred by a friend who had a successful experience with the company as well.
After discussing my background, school selection, and strategy with Melody (one of the co-founders), I was assigned to work full-time with Malvika. This was largely because of my intention to transition careers, which Malvika had done in her past as well. She helped identify the experiences in my past that helped explain this transition to be the next logical step. In addition to highlighting my most valuable strengths, Malvika helped me recognize the potential weaknesses of my profile and how to mitigate these weaknesses. She was always extremely candid, which is something I asked for in our initial conversation. Malvika was also very responsive. She would quickly answer emails/texts and could generally jump on a call within 24 hours for more complex questions. She never made me feel like I was bugging her or asking a ridiculous question.
My resume, essays, and interview prep greatly benefitted from Malvika’s advice and knowledge of the application process. I ultimately applied to five top-15 schools. She consulted on 3 applications – of which I had 2 admits and withdrew the third application after being accepted to my top choice. Of the 2 applications she did not consult me on, I went 0/2. Again, I highly recommend Malvika for anyone still on the fence about hiring an admissions consultant.
