What I appreciated most about working with Mudit and the team was their specific read on INSEAD. The school has a rigorous way of evaluating applicants and a clear point of view on what would matter from the very first conversation. We spent serious time on the goals piece, ensuring that the short and long-term answers held up under the constraint of a 1-year program. The team was also fast and consistent throughout. What stands out most is that I remained authentic to myself and my post-MBA goals without the stress of figuring out everything alone. So grateful for getting me here! 🙂
Thank you, Mudit and team, for not only helping me get into my dream MBA but also encouraging me to believe in myself through it all.
I worked with Mudit and team on my MBA applications and got into Marshall and Ross, with Marshall offering a substantial scholarship. Given how late I started, I honestly don’t think I could have pulled this off
I came to him with really tight timelines and hit several roadblocks along the way. He never made me feel like it was impossible. Instead, he kept me focused and helped me navigate each challenge as it came up.
What stood out was how invested he was in my success. He helped me frame my experiences in ways I hadn’t thought about and pushed me to articulate my goals more clearly. His feedback always had an actionable and a plan ahead. He knew what schools looked for and how to position my story accordingly. When I doubted my profile was strong enough, he helped me see it differently.
If you need someone who genuinely cares and will push you, do consider Mudit and Admissions Gateway
Working with Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team was one of the most valuable parts of my MBA journey. Coming from a mix of engineering experience and finance, content writing, entrepreneurial projects and campus leadership, I had a diverse profile but struggled to bring everything together into a clear and compelling story. Mudit helped me connect the dots in a way that felt authentic and true to who I am.
From the first conversation, his approach was structured and calm. He took the time to understand my motivations and the unique experiences that shaped my journey. What I appreciated most was how honest and involved he was. Every essay review, strategy discussion and resume refinement session pushed me to think deeper and present a stronger narrative. Nothing ever felt templated. Every piece of feedback had intention behind it.
The interview preparation was another highlight. The mock sessions and targeted feedback helped me walk into my Booth interview confident and well prepared. Throughout the process, Mudit and the team were always available and supportive, even during crunch moments when I felt the pressure. Their clarity and guidance helped me stay grounded and focused.
I am genuinely grateful to Mudit and Admissions Gateway for their mentorship. Their involvement did not feel transactional. It felt like having a partner who cared about my success as much as I did. With their support, I received my admit to Chicago Booth for the Class of 2028. I highly recommend Mudit to anyone who wants thoughtful, committed and high quality guidance through the MBA admissions journey.
The Admissions Gateway process was structured and focused on building authentic, impactful storytelling tailored to each school. What stood out to me was Mudit and team’s deep understanding of the unique culture and values of both Wharton and Kellogg. Instead of giving generic advice, they encouraged me to personalize every essay, resume bullet, and interview response. This school-specific approach made my application materials feel genuine and aligned with what each program looks for.
From our very first conversation, it was clear that Mudit takes a thoughtful, holistic approach. He spent time understanding my background, experiences, and aspirations in detail. He made it a point to connect and converse with me with an outlook that aligned to mine rather that bucketing me in a category and providing generic advise. He not only highlighted my strengths but also pointed out the gaps and areas where my narrative lacked clarity. His honest and strategic feedback helped reset my expectations and refocus my efforts on what truly mattered.
What I appreciated most was Mudit and team’s balance of rigorous preparation and empathetic support. Preparing for MBA interviews, especially for competitive programs like Wharton and Kellogg, can be stressful. Their guidance through mock interviews, detailed feedback sessions, and practical advice helped me stay focused, calm and most importantly cheerful. Mudit’s insights into Wharton’s team-based discussion format were especially helpful, giving me more confidence during the interview.
In the end, I was fortunate to receive admits from both Wharton and Kellogg. Beyond the results, what I value most is the shift in perspective and the mentorship I received throughout the process. The journey felt manageable and even enjoyable because I had the right support. For anyone aiming for top-tier MBA programs with clarity and confidence, I believe working with Mudit and team is a decision worth making.
When I joined Admissions Gateway, I had just a few weeks left before my application deadlines. I had only recently gotten my GMAT out of the way, and the stress of putting together strong applications in such a short span was overwhelming. But working with Mudit changed the entire experience for me. From day one, his guidance was comprehensive, covering every aspect of the process, from school selection and application strategy to essays, recommendations, and even the finer details of each component. What I valued most was that his support didn’t stop once the applications were submitted. He helped me weigh my admits, think through which school would be the best fit for me, and even went out of his way to help me and my family understand financing options. That personal touch meant a lot. One of my biggest challenges I faced was having spent six years of my career in the fintech sector at a single organization. I was unsure how to position my journey, what the next step should look like, and how to align my goals with the right geographies and schools. Mudit helped me find clarity and strike the right balance between ambition, fit, and reachability. Even though I was applying in later rounds, we crafted a strong story that resonated with 4 schools. The results speak for themselves: I was admitted to Oxford, ESADE, IESE with €25k leaders from emerging markets, and ISB. For someone who started this process feeling pressed for time and overwhelmed, this outcome still feels surreal. I am deeply grateful to Mudit for not just helping me achieve my MBA dreams but for making the journey so much more manageable, strategic, and personal.
My dream came true when I received an acceptance from The Wharton School. I have had an excellent experience with the Admissions Gateway team. I had 10+ years of work experience and decided to pursue an executive MBA. I knew it would be challenging to again go through the collegiate application process after so many years of working. However, the team at Admissions Gateway exactly understood that I was a working executive with other responsibilities. And because of that, my time would be limited. The AG team gave me a structured plan, detailed inputs and were always available for me. They were able to accommodate my work schedule by agreeing to meet when I was available. The turnaround speed from the team was exceptional. The AG team was never the bottleneck in my application process – they made sure I stuck to the plan. They also helped me with the interview process. Wharton was a dream school for me and because of AG, I can proudly say that I got into my dream school.
From the very beginning, Mudit has been a constant pillar of support, always available and always willing to go the extra mile no matter how busy things got. I never felt like I was going through the process alone. One of the most enjoyable and impactful aspects of starting my journey with AG was the series of workshops they introduced me to. These sessions not only gave me a clear understanding of what top schools are looking for but also laid a rock-solid foundation for everything that followed in my applications.
What stood out to me was their deep involvement at every stage, from the earliest brainstorming sessions to refining my essays, guiding me through school research, and conducting rigorous interview prep. They didn’t just provide advice; they invested in my story, ensuring that I put my best self forward. That dedication paid off — I was admitted to Wharton, Kellogg, CBS and even secured a waitlist spot from GSB which i couldn’t imagine without their support.
And the support did not end with the admit. Even after securing my place, Mudit continued to check in, answer questions, and share insights to help me prepare for the next chapter. Their dedication, accessibility, and genuine care make them stand apart. Working with Mudit was not just a consulting engagement, it felt like having trusted mentors and champions in my corner throughout one of the most important journeys of my life.
I came into the MBA application process with a relatively low GRE score, but full trust in the Admissions Gateway team—largely because my brother had worked with them previously and had a fantastic experience. That trust only deepened over time. Right from the start, Mudit and the team were incredibly strategic and thoughtful in their guidance. They recommended a balanced school list, yet never once discouraged me from aiming high. They understood my aspirations and helped me pursue them confidently, including applying to some of the most competitive programs. One of those was Haas. Not only did I secure an interview call, but the interview prep I received was absolutely top-notch. It wasn’t just about generic questions—it was detailed, personalized, and actionable. They spent time understanding every aspect of my profile and helped me present my story in the most compelling way possible. Eventually, I received an admit from Haas. Given where I started, it still feels surreal. I truly believe this outcome wouldn’t have been possible without Admissions Gateway’s support. Their approach is deeply student-centric—they’re invested, insightful, and committed to pushing applicants toward their full potential.
When I first connected with Mudit, our conversation went far beyond the usual surface-level profile review. He spent time understanding my story, strengths, and ambitions, and then gave me an honest assessment of where I stood. That clarity set the tone for everything that followed.
From the very beginning, the AG process with Mudit and team felt purposeful. Every step had direction, from the early groundwork to the school-specific strategies that showed me exactly how to position myself for Booth. The advice was precise, actionable, and grounded in a real understanding of what the school values.
Mudit leaned in fully, reviewing every detail with care and keeping my motivation high when my own confidence wavered. That extra push was what turned things around, and it’s what ultimately got me to Booth.
Looking back, the admit is a milestone I am proud of, but the persistence, mentorship, and belief Mudit and team brought to the journey matter even more.
Working with Mudit was one of the best decisions I made during my MBA journey. His workshops were thoughtfully designed, giving me clarity on how to approach my applications strategically and structure my overall narrative. The one-on-one sessions were invaluable in refining my content, ensuring my essays and resume highlighted my story in an authentic and impactful way. Even when I struggled with the GMAT, Mudit was incredibly proactive in helping me find the right resources and support, which kept me motivated during a challenging phase. What truly stood out, however, was his continued involvement even after my admission—guiding me through pre-MBA decisions and preparing for the next phase. His mentorship extended far beyond admissions, and I am deeply grateful.
Landing admits from both Darden and Kellogg felt like a dream come true, and I know I couldn’t have done it without Mudit and team. I learned how to tailor my story authentically for both schools, and this level of detail and personalization gave me a huge confidence boost.

What stood out most was Mudit and team’s steady support throughout the process. Whether refining essays or prepping for interviews, they were always available, helping me stay focused and motivated.
Getting into Kellogg has been a dream come true, and I couldn’t have done it without Mudit and the team at Admissions Gateway. With both my parents being Kellogg alumni, this admit carries deep personal significance for me.
From the very first call, what stood out was the honesty and clarity that Mudit and the team brought to the process. Their initial assessment of my profile was grounded and realistic. They didn’t sugar-coat anything but were always encouraging and structured in their approach, which set the tone for a focused and thoughtful journey.
Mudit and the team were fully invested throughout. When the consultant I was initially working with had to step away due to a bereavement, Mudit ensured a seamless transition by quickly assigning another counselor who turned out to be a great match. Thanks to their responsiveness, I stayed on track without any disruption.
The support was truly comprehensive. From brainstorming essays and positioning the resume to interview prep and school-specific research, every aspect was handled with precision and care. One of the biggest differentiators was the access to a robust network. Through Mudit and the team, I was able to connect with numerous Kellogg alumni who shared candid, firsthand insights that greatly enriched my application.

From that point on, the support I received was structured, insightful, and always tailored to my goals. Whether it was building a strong foundation, refining my resume, or working on essays, their guidance was detailed and deeply school-specific. Every piece of feedback helped me bring more clarity and focus to my application.
What I appreciated most was the team’s steady involvement throughout the process. Mudit was always approachable and responsive, not just for reviews or interview prep, but also to offer advice and reassurance when things felt overwhelming.
I am incredibly excited to be joining INSEAD. But more than anything, I am grateful for the consistent support, expertise, and belief the team showed in me throughout the journey.
Working with Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team has been one of the most defining parts of my MBA journey. In our very first interaction, Mudit conducted a detailed and thoughtful profile evaluation. He took the time to understand my background, strengths, and aspirations, and gave me a clear, honest assessment of my chances. That conversation alone set the tone for the months ahead—it was grounded, strategic, and completely tailored to my journey. From the very beginning, the AG process stood out. The team’s structured approach helped me build a solid foundation for my applications. Their school-specific insights were not only actionable but incredibly detailed, helping me position myself effectively across my target schools. But what truly set them apart was their response when Round 1 didn’t go as expected. Rather than stepping back, Mudit and the team doubled down. They went far beyond what I had signed up for—helping me reframe, rethink, and rebuild my application for Yale. The level of investment, ownership, and persistence they brought to the table during this phase was remarkable. And that persistence paid off—I got through to Yale. Through every setback, Mudit was a constant. He wasn’t just there for the applications—he was there to help me manage the anxieties, the disappointments, and the self-doubt that inevitably creep in during a process like this.
I’m deeply grateful for the outcome, but even more grateful for the process, and for a team that never stopped believing in me. The team at AG continues to support through the post-admissions process – be it forex, financing etc. In fact, on my latest fee transfer – I saved INR ~30-40k!
I worked with Mudit and team AG for my application to INSEAD, and the entire process was incredibly seamless. From the very beginning, I felt confident and at ease with how things were progressing. Everything was structured, organized, and thoughtfully paced, which made a huge difference in helping me stay focused and motivated.
What stood out to me most was how invested they were in my growth. They genuinely took the time to listen to my stories, brainstorm with me, and help me shape my narrative in a way that felt authentic and compelling. It never felt transactional. They were truly involved in every part of the journey, ensuring that we were always moving in the right direction.
When it came to interviews, their guidance was equally strong. They had a clear grasp of what top schools like INSEAD are looking for and helped me understand how to present myself with clarity and confidence. Their insights and preparation strategies were extremely helpful and definitely contributed to the final result, an admit from INSEAD.
Post admit too, the team was super helpful in helping me save funds for my initial deposit as well as guiding me on the best financing options for the program.
From the very beginning, Mudit has gone above and beyond in every aspect of my application journey. The quality of support, especially during the brainstorming and application-building phase, was exceptional. I particularly loved the unique approach he brought to refining my resume—it helped me position myself in a much more impactful way. The frameworks and strategies shared in the workshops were also incredibly helpful and gave me a solid foundation before diving into the actual applications.
Even when I applied for the INSEAD J-term, which later than a typical cycle, his support remained consistent and comprehensive throughout.
After I received my admit from INSEAD, Mudit continued to stay involved. He helped me get access to preferred forex rates, which honestly saved me a significant amount of money adding upto ~4k USD (~40% of the consultant fee). It was the kind of support that went far beyond what was expected.
He didn’t have to do any of that, but that’s just who he is. Mudit was deeply invested in my journey from start to finish, and I truly consider myself lucky to have had him as a mentor through it all.
Working with Mudit from Admissions Gateway was one of the most defining parts of my MBA journey. From our very first profile evaluation, his approach was thoughtful, strategic, and deeply invested in my success. Mudit helped me craft a differentiated application strategy rooted in my background and goals. His support was truly comprehensive — from resume building to essay ideation and interview prep — each step was handled with clarity and care. He was always available, provided honest feedback, and pushed me to dig deeper to bring out the most authentic version of my story. What stood out most was his calm, steady presence and deep understanding of the MBA landscape. From connecting me with past students to offering school-specific insights, everything felt seamless and personalized. With his guidance, I was admitted to both LBS and Columbia. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor through this process and would recommend Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team wholeheartedly.
I got to know of Mudit after receiving an interview offer from Wharton, and I am beyond grateful for the support he provided. He played a pivotal role in helping me prepare for my interview by connecting me with mock interview moderators, which greatly contributed to my final admit.
But what truly sets Mudit apart is the support he offers beyond admissions—something that’s incredibly valuable and often underrated. From sharing personal insights on accommodation, helping me secure preferential forex and loan rates (saving me over $2000), to connecting me with reliable visa agents, Mudit has been an all-encompassing guide throughout this journey.
He’s much more than a consultant—he’s your A-to-Z resource and a trusted partner in the entire MBA journey.
A big thank you to Mudit for being an incredible guide throughout my MBA journey. From day one, he was extremely thorough, starting with a detailed profile evaluation that helped uncover my strengths and blind spots. He laid out a clear, strategic plan that gave structure to the entire application process, making what initially felt overwhelming much more manageable.
From that point on, Admissions Gateway’s structured approach brought real clarity to the process. Every aspect, essays, resume, and application strategy was approached with precision and purpose. The team helped me build a compelling narrative and ensured each component of my application worked in harmony. The interview preparation was equally strong. Thanks to well-planned mock interviews and detailed feedback, I felt confident going into my Kellogg and Columbia interviews, and ultimately got the admits.
What really stood out was the continued support even after the admits. Mudit went above and beyond, helping me navigate post-admit formalities like education loans and next steps. Grateful for the commitment, structure, and care the team brought to this journey. Highly recommended for anyone aiming for a top-tier MBA program.
Working with Mudit was one of the most reassuring aspects of my MBA application journey. From day one, he was fully available; always just a message or call away. No matter how big or small my question was, he made time, often responding late into the night or during his own packed schedule. That kind of support felt rare and incredibly valuable in a process that can otherwise feel overwhelming and isolating.
I initially onboarded with the team for 2024 intake, however due to personal reasons I was not able to apply, they carried forward the support to next year without any extra charges and put in full effort to ensure I was able to put forward my best foot for the applications. What also stood out was the unique system and structure Admissions Gateway. There was never any ambiguity; we had a clear path to follow, with workshops, frameworks, and review systems that made navigating the process significantly more manageable. Each step felt purposeful and tailored, which allowed me to focus on reflection and authenticity rather than constantly worrying about logistics or timelines.
Beyond the application, Mudit’s involvement didn’t stop. Even after securing an admit to Stanford GSB, I’ve continued to receive support- from help with loan options to finding the right pre-MBA internship. It’s a testament to the community AG has cultivated and his commitment to going above and beyond, long after the official process is over.
I’m incredibly grateful to have had Mudit in my corner- not just as a consultant, but as a mentor who was invested in my journey as deeply as I was.
From the very first call, Mudit was incredibly approachable and invested in my journey. Navigating the MBA admissions process can feel overwhelming, but his calm and structured approach made it much more manageable. He took the time to deeply understand my background, aspirations, and concerns, ensuring that every aspect of my application was built on a solid foundation. Unlike many consultants who take a templated approach, Mudit provided truly personalized guidance, making me feel supported at every step.
One of the standout aspects of working with Mudit was his unique approach to resumes. Coming from a consulting background, I knew my application would be evaluated alongside countless other consultants, making differentiation a challenge. Mudit helped me craft a resume that not only highlighted my impact but also showcased my individuality in a way that was both strategic and compelling. Beyond the resume, the team’s support was comprehensive—whether it was brainstorming essays, refining my story, or preparing for interviews, they left no stone unturned.
What truly set Admissions Gateway apart was the network I was introduced to. The team connected me with mentors, alumni, and past applicants who provided invaluable insights into my target schools. Perhaps most importantly, I was paired with a buddy for HBS interview preparation, and the number of mocks I did with them proved to be a game-changer. These connections, along with the rigorous preparation, ultimately played a significant role in my successful admissions to Kellogg, Columbia, and Harvard Business School. Looking back, I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated and insightful team to guide me through this process.
Working with Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team was an incredible experience. From the very beginning, their approach was both encouraging and highly strategic. The initial profile evaluation was a game-changer—it was not just a generic assessment but a brutally honest and realistic look at my chances. They never sugarcoated things, which I truly appreciated, but at the same time, they were always pushing me to aim higher and refine every aspect of my application to maximize my chances.
The team was with me every step of the way, providing detailed, actionable feedback on my essays, resume, and interview prep. Their support wasn’t just about checking boxes—it was about crafting a compelling and authentic story that made my application stand out.

I reached out to Mudit for my MBA applications. He conducted a comprehensive profile evaluation. I was initially very apprehensive about my chances since I came from a software background. I wasn’t sure how to start my applications. Mudit was very comprehensive during the profile evaluation call. He not only provided me with the confidence I required, but he also informed me about the whole process, which set the tone for the rest of my applications. I started my engagement by watching workshops led by experts. The workshops provide a method to the madness. What stood out to me in the workshops was that even though they provided a structure to the process, it wasn’t rigid. I could think of my background and could easily fit it into the structure provided and in many ways it encouraged me to think deeply about my profile. I was equally happy with team’s involvement in the essay writing and interview process. For essays we went through numerous iterations together. Having gone through 5-6 iterations each for all essays I can safely say that the team put in their ful effort to ensure that I was able to put out my authentic self in the essays and ensured that my aspirations were grounded in my personal and professional experiences.
I received interview calls from CBS and Wharton. The team organised mock sessions for both interviews. Infact for Wharton’s TBD I sat for mock sessions with Wharton Alumni which provided specific insights about how I can prepare for the TBD interview. Similarly for CBS I did numerous mock sessions with the team which allowed me to gain specific insights about the expectations and the process.
With Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team’s guidance, I was able to secure admission to NYU Stern. Their tailored approach helped me select the right schools and motivated me to aim for the best possible outcomes. The all-encompassing support—from the initial profile review to the final application—was crucial to my success.
The community at Admissions Gateway was also incredibly helpful, offering key insights for school research and interview preparation. I strongly recommend Mudit and his team to anyone targeting top-tier business schools.

His belief in my profile eventually led me to work with Mudit and the team for my applications and in retrospect that was an excellent decision.
I am extremely grateful to Mudit and Admissions Gateway. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the team. From the beginning, the team has been very upfront and transparent.

I also deeply benefited from AG’s community as I engaged with various mock TBD interview sessions with previous alums which provided the necessary confidence and insights to crack the wharton interview process. Moreover, I feel their school specific approach to interviews is also very helpful. Mudit connect me with various alums and team members for me to gain insights about individual interview process for every school which eventually really boosted my confidence and structured my preparation I would highly recommend working with the team!!
I am proud to be the first person from my university to gain admission to M7 schools, and I am thankful to Admissions Gateway for its support.
In Round 1, I got admission into Darden but was initially reluctant to accept the program I had been offered because I wanted an admit from one of the M7 programs. However, Mudit encouraged me to accept the offer in R1, which ultimately provided me with the reassurance and safety I needed.
With this security, I felt more confident and prepared for Round 2. I applied to most of the M7 schools and was thrilled to accept the offer from MIT. The journey was challenging, but AG’s comprehensive strategy was helpful. Their approach is uniquely tailored and structured, ensuring that every application process is covered thoroughly.
One of the standout features of working with AG was the community aspect. I received invaluable assistance from alumni of my dream schools, providing me with unique insights and advice. The support and guidance from AG, especially from Mudit, were helpful in achieving my goal.
I recommend Admissions Gateway for anyone aiming for top-tier business schools. Their dedication, personalized approach, and strong community make them a great choice for MBA admissions consulting.
From the very beginning, Mudit set the tone with a thorough profile evaluation, informing me of the various aspects I needed to work on. This initial guidance was invaluable and set the stage for my entire application journey. I also found the workshops hosted by the Admissions Gateway team to be incredibly helpful, providing me with the tools and insights needed to strengthen my application. I highly recommend team AG for MBA applications.
With Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team’s support, I was accepted with merit scholarships from Kellogg, Cornell, and Tepper. Their comprehensive approach was instrumental in making my profile shine. Their assistance was thorough from the beginning of the application process, covering everything from essay development to interview preparation. Their efforts in connecting me with past students for interview practice and alumni for college-specific research essays were particularly helpful in customizing my applications for each school.
I highly recommend Admissions Gateway for their exceptional expertise and commitment, which were crucial to my successful admissions outcomes.
Joining Admissions Gateway just before Round 2 deadlines was a challenging and stressful time for me. Despite the short notice, Mudit took me in and provided incredible support. I was initially demotivated due to the tight timelines, but Mudit’s encouragement and confidence in my story turned things around.
Mudit’s unwavering support and personalized approach pushed me to apply to INSEAD. He assisted me with the entire application process, from crafting compelling essays to connecting me with alumni in his network for the interview process. Being from the Middle East, INSEAD was a perfect fit for me, and Mudit’s guidance made this clear.
Thanks to Admissions Gateway, I am very happy with my results and excited about the journey ahead. I highly recommend Mudit and the team for their exceptional support and commitment to their clients’ success.
I had an exceptional experience working with Admissions Gateway (AG) on my MBA applications. What truly stood out to me was their genuine, non-commercial approach. Even after I received an admit from my target schools, the team encouraged me to apply to HBS, believing in my potential. Needless to say, their approach covered support for each and every part of the application, and I think their expertise was crucial in helping me build a strong application.
When I was waitlisted at HBS, AG went above and beyond by connecting me with HBS alumni. Despite already having an admit from other peer schools, they worked closely with me to submit my waitlist materials. The team was consistently responsive and supportive, even after the Round 2 results were out.
Thanks to AG’s unwavering support and dedication, I am now headed to HBS. I highly recommend Admissions Gateway for their personalized, sincere, and comprehensive guidance in the MBA application process.
It has been an amazing journey working with Mudit and team Admissions Gateway. Their expertise has been instrumental in my application journey. Right from the beginning they were there with me throughout. From resume to essays and interviews, I was supported throughout my journey. More than just consulting I was extremely happy with AG’s candid approach, they were more than consultants for me and mentored me throughout. This candid approach really allowed me to dig deep and share personal anecdotes which proved to be useful throughout the process.
Working with Mudit and the team at Admissions Gateway has been an exceptional experience. From the very beginning, their comprehensive support for essays, resumes, and interviews was evident. The profile evaluation sessions with Mudit gave me a realistic understanding of my strengths and areas of improvement, setting the tone for my entire application process.
The team’s meticulous approach to essay writing and resume building helped me present my story in the most compelling way. They connected me with alumni for in-depth university research and conducted thorough interview mocks, which were instrumental in boosting my confidence and readiness.
I highly recommend Admissions Gateway to anyone looking to navigate the MBA admissions journey with expert guidance.
I am thrilled to share my incredible journey with Mudit Gupta from Admissions Gateway. As a reapplicant, I had almost lost hope. I contacted Mudit for help with my Kellogg interview prep, and that decision changed everything. Mudit’s guidance was unparalleled. He helped me figure out my interview prep and shared invaluable resources that reignited my confidence. His dedication and expertise convinced me to apply again with Admissions Gateway.
What truly touched me was Mudit’s compassion and support throughout the process. Understanding my situation, he subsidised his services, which was a gesture I deeply appreciate. I made it to Kellogg this year thanks to Mudit’s unwavering support and insightful advice. I cannot thank Mudit enough for his commitment and encouragement. He played a pivotal role in my success, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone on their MBA journey.
I am immensely grateful to Mudit and the Admissions Gateway team for their exceptional support throughout my MBA application journey. Mudit was incredibly patient during the onboarding process, even taking the time to connect with my dad to address our concerns. He guided me to focus on M7 schools, emphasizing the ROI, especially since I was already in the US.
Mudit was always available and responsive throughout our engagement, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His dedication and insights were invaluable, and I’m thrilled to share that I got through to Wharton!
Thank you, Mudit and Admissions Gateway, for your unwavering support and commitment to my success.
Admission Gateway helped me crack LBS. Mudit helped me connect the dots in my journey to craft a good story. Admission Gateway has wonderful resources like the essay workshops hosted by Rajdeep Chimni that make the whole application process seem much less ambiguous. The team helped me clarify my goals and streamline my resume. The interview workshops helped improve my confidence. I highly recommend AG.
I worked with Mudit Gupta and Gauri Jaswal for the class of 2025 admissions cycle and had fantastic results with them! I applied to 5 schools and ended up getting admits to Yale SOM and Kellogg in Round 2. I was late to the admissions cycle (had already missed Round 1) and wanted to work with someone who would tell me exactly what do to and leave the execution to me. After some research I quickly narrowed down to Admissions Gateway and my initial calls with Mudit and Gauri were enough to seal the deal. I have a pretty demanding job at the startup that I work at and was really happy with the rhythm I was able to build with Gauri. She was my primary point of contact and was approachable, patient, and encouraging throughout the process. She pushed me to think about my goals and got me to draft essays in a manner that I could not have done without her objectivity and constant feedback. When it came to preparing for interviews – she was able to guide me exactly on how to prepare for it while helping me bring out the best parts of my personality and prior experience.
All said, if you are looking for someone to guide you through MBA applications – Admissions Gateway is a no-brainer!
I have rarely seen individuals go out of the way to help others. Mudit and Gauri are one of those people. At a time when I was completely disheartened due to multiple waitlist and rejects in my first attempt, they picked me up and helped me achieve my dream.
I was hesitant to take another consultant but my first call with Mudit stumped me. He simply looked at my resume and could identify the gaps because of which I did not get any convert. I was hooked and within hours of the first free profile evaluation call, I paid my fees.
Admissions Gateway Team are very process and quality driven. Rajdeep sir’s webinars helped me in developing a very structured approach towards building my resumes and essays. This structured approach helped me in coming up with multiple ideas/ stories for my essays whereas multiple brainstorming sessions with Gauri and Mudit helped me in identifying the right story.
Further, I felt that my consultants (Gauri and Mudit) are very passionate about what they do. They were unwilling to compromise on the quality at every step of the application process. Every part of the application went through multiple rounds. In my first attempt, I had taken a couple of days to make my resume but this time Gauri and I took nearly a month for my resume to get ready! My final resume looked so good that even I got impressed by it.
For my essays, they really pushed me hard to introspect and think. Further, during brainstorming sessions, Gauri was a patient listener and would always encouraged me and made me comfortable to share my most vulnerable stories so that she could help me paint a true picture of myself through my essays. There was no restriction on the number of iterations and she was always available on the call (even for minor doubts). Even during my interview preparation, Gauri was so concerned that she went out of her way to organise multiple practice sessions before my every college interview till she felt I was ready for the interview! I always wonder how can anyone service their clients with so much promptness, rigor, enthusiasm because I find it difficult to constantly provide such high level of services to my clients 24/7. For anyone considering to hire a consultant, I would highly recommend Gauri and Mudit. They will make your application journey their own and will not leave any stone unturned till you achieve your dream!
Admissions Gateway provided just the kind of support my disheartened self needed after all the rejections I got in the 2021-22 application cycle. Even after spending a huge amount of money on a US-based consultancy, I couldn’t convert any school. So, I was very skeptical when I started looking for another consultancy this year. I chose Admissions Gateway because of their initial profile evaluation call with Mudit. He went through my resume, my essays from last year, and discussed my career goals. Although, at first a bit harsh to hear, his honest but constructive feedback is what led me to work with them this cycle and convert four of the five schools I applied to.
Rajdeep’s webinar on resume writing and school-specific essays gave me a structured format to craft my story. Even though my goals remained the same, I could see the difference in how I was able to express them through my essays. My consultant brainstormed with me different possible stories, reviewed my essays and resume multiple times, and pointed out very subtle things in my essays, for e.g. how a certain story although fitting to the theme from my eyes could be perceived differently by the admissions committee. I perfected my essays and got interview calls from all five schools I applied to (Wharton, Kellogg, Ross, Haas, Anderson).
Another thing that stood out was the support I got from Admissions Gateway during my interview preparation. While Rajdeep’s webinars were no doubt super helpful and informational, the mock interviews, interview debriefs, and constant help with simple queries made all the difference. Three of my five interviews were so tightly scheduled that I had to sit for all three of them within 36 hours. Naturally, I was under immense pressure, but thanks to the availability of consultants at AG I was able to pull them off and convert all those three schools.
I would highly recommend AG to any MBA applicant, especially if you’re a re-applicant because you won’t get the kind of dedication elsewhere that AG consultants put in to get the applicants get into their dream schools!
I researched extensively for some of the best MBA consultants to help me in my application journey, and I am so glad that I found Mudit and the greater Admissions Gateway team as I could not have asked for better mentors in this process.
I believe that there are three aspects that make AG (Admissions Gateway) a cut above the rest:
1. Being highly accessible at all times, and deeply invested in your candidacy I know some of my friends who signed up with consultants that promised 24/7 accessibility at the time of onboarding but didn’t stick to that promise post-sign-up. This was not the case with Mudit and Admissions Gateway. Their response time was either right away, or in less than 24 hours, and they scheduled as many Zoom sessions as needed a week before deadlines while truly ‘living and breathing’ the application process with you throughout; to make the best application possible.
2. A connected team of experts who discuss your application There isn’t just one person helping you out with your material. The culture at AG is one where a team of experts (consultants) from different backgrounds and top schools in Europe and the US, will discuss an applicant’s case to give different perspectives. This truly helps, especially if you happen to have a difference of opinion with your specific consultant, which is natural at times but can be offset with good communication and more pairs of eyes on your material.
3. Customised approach to get you into YOUR best-fit school I was never forced to apply to ‘safer’ schools that would boost AG’s success statistics. I was encouraged to apply to my dream schools, with proper guidance on potential best fits given my own goals, aspirations, and personality. While Mudit would give me a realistic picture of what he thought my odds were at a specific school, he would also, always, encourage me to apply freely and aim high. Ultimately I got into my dream school – IESE Business School in Spain, which is ranked third globally by FT with a full Forte Fellow scholarship, thanks to Mudit and the team at AG!
Through the guidance I got from Mudit and Gauri at Admissions Gateway, I applied to Booth, Kellogg, Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton. Received an admission to Kellogg for the ’23 intake.
Coming from a healthcare background, my experiences were very technical in nature (medical device development, R&D, manufacturing, etc.). I was very concerned about my ability to convey my story in a way that would captivate the ad-com member without confusing them.
I’d researched a few consultants, but Admissions Gateway (AG) stood out to me both for their track record and a referral from an ex-colleague who secured admission to LBS.
Mudit and Gauri encouraged me to introspect about my experiences, both professional and community and helped me put together a coherent profile. What I appreciated was the relentless drive for quality – even after 16 or so iterations on my resume, they would push me to improve it further and give me clear constructive feedback for reworking it. Their drive for depth and authenticity in storytelling is a core strength of AG – schools like Kellogg and Harvard are keen to know the values that drive & define the applicants, and this was something I struggled with initially. Through AG, I was able to identify and stitch together unique elements of my background that would resonate strongly with the reader.
I would strongly recommend Mudit and the wider team at AG to anyone interested in putting together a quality application to top business schools.
I stumbled on Admissions Gateway after reading about them on Poets&Quants. After the initial virtual meet and greet with Mudit, I was lucky enough to be assigned a slot with them.
Looking back on my journey, I do believe the following three aspects of working with Mudit and the team helped me to get an admit to IESE with a scholarship.
Instilling belief: When one has been lurking around MBA admissions forums on various platforms, some end up questioning their candidacy for a top school. Coming from the most competitive pool of Indian IT Male engineers, I was definitely one of them. The Admissions Gateway team instilled in me the confidence that my candidacy is enough and to focus on the strengths of my application rather than dwelling on what people talk about on forums etc
Framework-driven approach: AG follows a framework-driven approach in building one’s application, starting from cleaning up the resume to the interviews. This framework not only gave me a clear path to my north star but also laid the cornerstone for thinking from an impact-driven perspective over an implementation-driven perspective. This helped to refine my resume and my career goals, enabling me to put forward strong applications to business schools.
Ripping off the band-aid: AG team, always jovial and sympathetic, was not hesitant to call me out when it was required. This helped me to prepare my best for each of the individual meetings, bringing out the best in me. Also, frequent feedback, sometimes challenging, on my application from the wider AG team, helped me refine and put forward a strong application
Overall, I attribute a large portion of my success to Mudit and AG team. They not only helped me secure an admit with scholarship, but also helped me to reshape my outlook on the whole MBA admission process.
I’m not the regular MBA aspirant. Coming from a family business background, I was clueless and nervous about how to portray my story. But with proper guidance from Mudit, I managed to receive admits from Duke ($), Darden, and Foster ($$).
After speaking with 8 different consultants in India and abroad, I decided to work with Admissions Gateway (AG), based on my interaction with Mudit and testimonials from other applicants with a family business background.
Mudit encouraged introspection, helping me learn from the process of putting together applications, and thinking coherently about my goals. He kept pushing me to improve and polish my drafts as much as possible, resulting in 15-20 iterations for each part of my application. This allowed me to dig deeper into my story to build a resume, essays, and goals that told a truly coherent and uniquely packaged story. He also pushed me to retake the GMAT, enabling me to improve my score to 740 from a 710.
Thank you so much, Mudit! I would highly recommend Mudit and AG, and would be happy to discuss him in greater detail with anyone who would be interested.
I was introduced to the Admission Gateway team by a friend who was admitted to John Hopkins University. There was a prompt reply to the first email itself, and they got in touch with me. They had several rounds of calls with me to understand my background and suggest the best schools to help me make a career in public policy. This was quite detailed and I think was the base for all that we did later, from re-working the CV to writing a compelling SOP. I learned patience and perseverance by working with Mudit. He never settles down for anything less than the best. Mudit spent a lot of time improving my CV and SOP through multiple iterations. His all-time availability and attention to details was a big-plus. Since he had a strong understanding of the equity markets, he helped me craft my CV in the best way for my work as a capital market researcher. I had experience also as an insurance products analyst and a commentator on agriculture and food policy. I was confused about how to bring out all my work in 2-pages. Mudit helped me figure this out by breaking my CV into three parts and bringing the most impactful work on the top of the CV. Every point I mention under each head in it he said should translate into what impact it left on the end farmer/investor and how it changed livelihoods. It was not an easy thing to do. When I started, I didn’t even imagine that I could complete the CV as Mudit wanted, but slowly over a period of several weeks the CV took shape. Mudit had long conversations with me to bring out the impact part in the form of numbers in my CV. Every time I had a call with Mudit, I had to go back in memory to recollect my travel, my work, my awards, my journal publications, my public address, and not a single thing was missed and it was all concised and put into 2 pages. I would not be exaggerating if I said my admission to the top three Universities – JHU ($$$), Duke ($$$) and Georgetown University ($$$) in the US and two in Canada (also with scholarship) are thanks to Mudit. After the CV, it was the SOPs where Mudit helped out. He helped me figure out a core idea and an impressive story to say from my field visits in India. I wrote a long story for this, and connected it with my ambitions and choice of school. Mudit tightened the essay and highlighted the right things. Every school had a somewhat different question for SOP, and all the time, Mudit helped. One thing I need to say, Mudit or be Nisha, they don’t write your CV or SOP, they help you write. They tell you how to collect your thoughts and how to write them out in a convincing manner. This is very important as, one, you learn in the process and also later at the interview stage, the interviewer doesn’t see a mis-match in the language you used in the CV/SOP and how you speak. When I started the process of hunting for a school to make a career in the US, I was unsure of how to go about it. But thanks to my friend, who introduced me to Admissions Gateway. The time and money I invested with them is completely worth it. Great job, team Admissions Gateway.
I had a wonderful experience working with Mudit, who helped me with my applications for MS in Computer Science/Data Science programs this past year. I was referred to Admissions Gateway by a Darden School of Business admit, who spoke very highly of his experience working with them.
While I had a few years of relevant work experience in the field, I was lacking in prior academic experience, which usually is a critical factor in decisions taken by admission committees. Through multiple iterations, Mudit helped groom my resume and statement of purpose in a way that highlighted my strengths and put me in the best position to succeed. I was extremely pleased by the fact that this process was highly collaborative- Mudit was open to suggestions and gave my opinions due consideration during our discussions.
The biggest takeaways from my experience working with Mudit was that he was easily approachable and readily available whenever I required assistance, be it about my application materials or a question about a university’s admission portal. Moreover, while providing advice, Mudit would substantiate it with a clear line of reasoning, giving the perspective of the admissions committee by leaning on his experience working as an admissions reader.
Despite an uncertain year for university admissions due to COVID, I was confident with my applications and ultimately gained admission to a university I considered to be out of my reach. I have no doubt that this was largely down to Mudit’s suggestions and advice and would not hesitate in recommending him to others.
Mudit is an excellent Consultant. He helped me and my references through my LOR process for an MBA program. His insights really helped us tackle difficult questions like “what are the candidate’s weaknesses” in a well-thought-out manner. He also gave unlimited tips and feedback on how to impress the college in the MBA admissions interview. His insights and feedback were imperative to my success.
I’m glad to share I received an admit from the university he helped me with.
Unlike others he is not obsessed with money, instead, he cares about his students and their growth.
I felt like he was personally invested in my journey. I have worked with many other consultants but Mudit stands out.
I highly recommend his services.
