    I applied to INSEAD during round 3 and was thrilled to be accepted, thanks to Melissa Jones. She was incredibly skilled at helping me dig deep into my life to find powerful anecdotes for my essays. Like fitting together a jigsaw puzzle, Melissa expertly tied my stories to what the admissions team sought, resulting in compelling essays. Her deep knowledge of the INSEAD admissions process was invaluable, especially since it was the only MBA program I applied to. Melissa even went above and beyond by preparing me for my interview on a Sunday, ensuring I was fully confident and ready.

    Melissa is an all-round wonderful coach to work with. She works with you like a mentor. She is thorough, thoughtful, super-responsive and focuses on every single detail.

Both Melissa and the team at Fortuna are experts at what they do—it's been a delight to work with them on this journey.

    I worked with Melissa for R2 2024 applications and purchased the 3 school package with Fortuna. Working with Melissa changed my MBA application process from a nebulous, stressful one to one where I felt supported. In fact, Melissa believed that I could succeed even when I did not believe in myself. Melissa not only helped me reflect on my entire life basically, curate my stories, and ensure that my authentic self shined through my essays and interviews, but she also connected me to other resources outside of my essays and interview prep. She connected me to a GRE tutor whom she trusts (which made my GRE score go up exponentially) and also connected me to a colleague who is an SME on the programs I ...

    Melissa’s help has been invaluable to me being admitted into 4 top MBA programs - INSEAD, LBS, Oxford and Cambridge. I come from a non-traditional career path and would be considered older than the average candidate but, despite these hurdles, I’ve received offers for all the schools I applied to. The applications can be a daunting process however, right from the start, Melissa was excellent at teasing out my stories to tell and attributes to sell whilst shaping my post-MBA goals (which has a longer term value than just being admitted to a school)! She is deeply knowledgeable about all MBA program applications we worked on and not just INSEAD where she has previously worked. Melissa responds promptly and is efficient with her time. This ...

    Melissa was truly amazing and I would not have been offered places at INSEAD and Columbia without her. She knows both admissions processes inside out. She gave very clear steers on the type of qualities are both looking for and massively helped me get into the right frame of mind for each interview. When I first came to her I had an extremely low GMAT score - minus 500 - but she never gave up on me and actually introduced me to Stuart Park who helped me achieve my desired GRE (I switched) score. If you're applying to do an MBA I could not recommend her highly enough!

    I am an applicant in the final round of the MBA application process. Among the various consultants available, I chose Melissa. I made this choice because she responds promptly and has a very organized approach to structuring my essay. She meticulously reviewed my life and work experiences and provided tailored advice for the schools I wanted to apply to. She also understood the potential weaknesses in my experiences and helped me address them in the optional essay, allowing the admissions team to better understand who I am through my application documents. The essay was completed in just about two weeks, which put my mind at ease for other application matters. During the interview process, Melissa also shared some interview tips to help me prepare with confidence. ...

    Stats / Outcomes: 710 GMAT (lower quant score, higher verbal), 154 EA, Overrepresented Background. Accepted to Yale, NYU, and Georgetown (with some $). Interviewed at CBS and Duke, and currently waitlisted at Duke. Melissa was an excellent consultant. She was very patient and a good listener as we refined my story together. She also offered great insight into what schools look for. Together we were able to delve into my backstory and goals and connect the dots into a thoughtful narrative. As far as consultants go, I think Melissa is an amazing one! That said, I do want to temper expectations on how far a consultant can bring you. They are great at being a thought partner to sound ideas out and offer very valuable insight ...

    I can't imagine going through the MBA admissions process without Melissa Jones at Fortuna. Melissa’s positivity and clear understanding of the process from the initial consultation made working with her one of my easiest decisions. Coming from a nontraditional background, with a low test score, and an unclear idea of post-MBA industry/goals, I never thought I would have a chance of getting into multiple US top schools, let alone my dream school (Columbia). Melissa supported me through the entire process, from helping me determine a school list and establish a clear post-MBA vision to cheering me on through multiple poor test attempts. Melissa is incredibly mindful of deadlines and her diligence is exactly what I needed to stay on track with all aspects of each ...

    I had a great experience with Fortuna Admissions, especially with Melissa Jones. I had applied to schools a year earlier and did not get in anywhere. I was struggling to find the best way to present myself in my essays, which parts of my experiences to include, which to leave out, etc. I decided to try again and do it with some help. In the very early stages of my work with Melissa, she sat down with me and took the time to hear my life story and talk about my goals so that she could help me “sell” myself better and build a more compelling narrative for the admissions committees. She also reviewed my previous applications to get a sense of why it hadn’t ...

I was really worried at first because my GPA was much lower than the school averages, and I knew my GMAT score was not going to be high (I'm a horrible test taker). Melissa stayed calm the whole time and really helped me highlight my strengths in the essays and through the rest of the application. She stayed very calm and was extremely supportive. I appreciate her immense knowledge of the process, guidance and support, and clear communication. Melissa's extremely knowledgeable about the process and can help you fight for your best chance!

    Happy to say Melissa helped me get into my dream school - INSEAD! I was looking for admissions consultants to give me peace of mind throughout the typically stressful application process. Fortuna, and in particular working with Melissa, was a clear choice due to her INSEAD expertise. She gave me confidence throughout, helped bring out the best in me, and even went the extra mile in connecting me with alumni to ask questions. I will say that Fortuna is very structured in their counseling style, with the majority of communications over email / Podio and three 1:1 calls. I was totally ok with this due to my busy schedule. If this is your style too, I highly recommend Melissa!

With Melissa's help, I got into INSEAD despite a relatively low GPA (3.27/4.0) and lower than average GMAT (700 vs 706 INSEAD average). Melissa was very positive and always made time to talk when I needed advice from start to finish. She had great resume edits and pushed me on self-reflection for essay topics. On the essays themselves, she gave honest and direct feedback while still sounding motivating and encouraging. Super responsive as well - I could consistently count on a response well within 24 hours. Melissa also looped in Caroline (former Director of Ad. at INSEAD) from Fortuna to offer ...

I specifically asked the consultant about one top-5 program, in particular, hoping they could help “handicap” my odds at acceptance. Sadly, I was told point-blank I’d be better off looking at tier 2 schools. That experience left me feeling dejected, questioning whether I even had a shot at my dream school… Enter Fortuna! My initial discussion with Matt Symonds was slated to take an hour but we ended up chatting for around two! He assured me that not only did I have a shot, but that I was a strong ...

    I was nervous about applying the top-tier school I was targeting with the experience I had, but Melissa helped me tailor my resume and essays to articulate why my experience was a fit for the school. Through speaking with her about my experience, she helped pinpoint certain things I should include in my resume and essays, and also helped me identify the best examples to use in my essays so that my responses were relevant and professional. I had paid for I think 3 hours of services and still had ~20 minutes left over after resume and essay editing, so we used it to do a mock Skype interview, which was super helpful in practicing and knowing what types of questions to expect.

    Working with Fortuna was a great experience overall. My first Skype call with Matt went for 1.5 hours and we walked a lot about my background and the potential coaches he thought would be a good fit. I had my first discussion with one of the Fortuna coaches but didn't really feel any connection with them. After I provided feedback to Matt, he organized another discussion with Melissa. (All of this before I had paid anything!) I had an excellent experience working with Melissa. She helped me identify the strongest aspects of my personal story and craft a coherent, concise and strong application. She always responded promptly to my communications and worked within my own timelines. I only applied for INSEAD and Melissa shared with me ...

My first phone conversation with Matt was extremely insightful and he gave me a very realistic view of how my profile would fit with each of my target schools and which areas of my profile were great fits and which areas I would need to make sure to polish. My top school was INSEAD and working with Melissa, who had previously worked with the school in Admissions, was really great.

    When I decided to apply to INSEAD, I knew that I would need expert guidance for the application journey. I reached out to a handful of admissions consultants, but Fortuna Admissions stood out for me because of its ‘dream team’ of former admissions directors from top business schools, especially from those outside the US. Who would be better placed to offer MBA admissions advice than the MBA admissions gatekeepers themselves? After reaching out to Fortuna, I was subsequently paired with Melissa and during our first call, she thoroughly reviewed and analyzed my profile, providing a fair assessment of my strengths and weaknesses from an admissions director perspective. She then helped to develop an overall application strategy that would not only highlight my strengths but also ...

  • Brought The Best Out of Me, Maintaining My Authenticity
    5 years ago
    I chose Fortuna because I felt like it has an unparalleled knowledge of European Business schools and I wasn't disappointed! Working with Melissa has been a pleasure: she was very available, responded fast and with customized suggestions. The thing I liked the best about her counsel is that the work that came out was very genuine and represented me 100%: pushing me gently, she brought out the best in me while keeping my authenticity. Without her assistance, I would have not been as strong a candidate (admitted to all the schools I applied to) so I would definitely recommend her to any applicant.

    It has been great to work with Melissa. Without her help, I would not get through all these troubles and get admitted by several great schools. She has provided insight and vision throughout the whole process--school list, essay, interview prep--with great patience and responsiveness. Her feedbacks are candid and direct, and she would guide you through the hard times. Beyond that, she would bring the Fortuna expert team to help you in every part of the process--it really feels like you have the whole team rooting for you. At the end of the day, I know that I gave everything I can during the application--thanks to Melissa. I would highly suggest working with Melissa: she would guild you through all--things expected and unexpected.

    I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Jones at Fortuna regarding one of my applications for a top European business school (think INSEAD/ LBS). From the get-go, I knew that working with Melissa was the right choice, given the extremely fast turnaround, time took to respond to my general inquiry and application-specific emails. In terms of content, her feedback was always spot on, detailed, and personal. I could tell that her approach was very customized to my story and that she really took time to understand my background, my motive, and personal strengths & weaknesses. Melissa and Fortuna definitely met my expectations and I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I started working with Melissa and from early on found myself catching up as she was always very prompt. Fortuna's strategy session & questionnaire is awesome.
