Consultant Bio

How I Can Help You:

My style is upbeat and encouraging, and my standards for excellence are high! Clients have praised my ultra-specific feedback, responsiveness, and even sense of humor. The MBA admissions process can be overwhelming and daunting, but I’ve helped applicants stay optimistic and focused, which has led them to be admitted to all of the top schools in the U.S. (M7+) and abroad. I’ve successfully worked with clients across backgrounds and professions – finance, consulting, marketing, technology, entrepreneurship, nonprofit, healthcare, and many fields completely outside of the “traditional” business world. What these candidates have had in common: a desire to dig deep and tell their story authentically and the motivation to craft the strongest applications possible.

Why Choose Me:

I’ve helped numerous applicants get into the very best programs and earn millions in scholarship dollars. How I do it: I apply the skills I gained from my marketing career and my love for writing and editing to advise candidates on how to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive pool and share their stories in a genuine way that resonates with admissions committees.
As a certified business etiquette trainer, I also guide MBA prospectives in navigating challenging interpersonal situations throughout the application process and building positive relationships with members of their target schools.
Outside of work, I have extensive nonprofit leadership experience, particularly with healthcare/wellness organizations. I draw upon this experience to advise candidates looking to enter or pivot from healthcare or philanthropic careers. And for all applicants, I can provide guidance on how to get further involved in the community in a meaningful, impactful way. I have an BA in Communication from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Michigan Ross.

  • Nisha Trivedi is AMAZING
    2 months ago
    I would highly recommend mbaMission, specifically Nisha Trivedi. She is amazing, and I would not have gotten into graduate school without her constant encouragement, support, and help. I was applying to Columbia Business School on a very tight application deadline, and Nisha really helped in my messaging, resume, application, and overall story/strategy. One thing I really appreciated about Nisha was her quick response time and thoughtful help. Nisha went above and beyond, often replying to me out of business hours (holidays, weekends) - she was always there when I needed her, and she made a massive impact on the quality of my application. mbaMission, as a company, was excellent to work with. As the leading mba consulting agency, I felt their fee was worth every ...

    I decided to apply to business school in January 2024 from a non-traditional background and knew I had my work cut out for me for the next 4 months. This daunting process was explained to me in clear steps, and supported the entire way by Nisha! I knew I could go to her with ANY questions or concerns I had along the way. I was so overwhelmed by this process, but she was always there for me. She was always quick to respond, so understanding, and so good at helping me narrow in on what I wanted my applications to show. Our frequent calls were always so helpful as she helped me realize what skills I brought to the table from a non-business background in ...

    Nisha instantly understood exactly what my needs were. I am definitely not a writer and she helped me craft my life's journey. She asked the right questions to help me think about my essay from different angles. I also chatted with her just before my interview and she encouraged me to be my authentic self and it worked. To be honest, I was feeling a little under confident and I really wanted to chat with someone who understood the industry and could give me their honest opinion about my candidacy. Thank you, Nisha, for being a MBA consultant + a therapist!

    I had am amazing experience working with Nisha throughout the MBA application process. We first spoke a month before the R2 deadline for the Fall 2023 application cycle, and during this we decided that I did not have enough time to submit a strong application for my top programs. Fast forward to summer 2023, Nisha and I reconnected and began working together for the Fall 2024 R2 deadline. She is incredibly patient, kind, accommodating and compassionate.

    5 months ago
    Working with Nisha throughout the whole process made MBA applications feel less daunting. I'm a nontraditional candidate and knew that I needing a guiding hand throughout this process. I worked with Nisha to apply to 2 schools, as well as the base application for Consortium. She really took the time to get to know me, and teased out aspects of my story that I would not have otherwise chosen to emphasize. I found her feedback to be firm (extremely helpful when second-guessing every aspect of an application!) yet remarkably kind. And she was extremely available over email for every small, nit-picking question that I wanted to think through together.

    6 months ago
    I had the privilege of working with Nisha on two applications, and was admitted to both programs with funding support. Initially, I thought I had a fairly good sense of the programs I was interested in and what I wanted out of them. My plan was to review the available guides and apply on my own. Given the high cost of MBA programs (both financial and commitment!), I decided working with a consultant would be a small investment to ensure I was targeting the best fit programs and putting forth my best application. I am so glad I did and found Nisha! She was very approachable, responsive, and offered great questions and feedback throughout the whole process. She was also a wonderful thought partner on ...

    Prior to hiring Nisha, I had failed to get into any of the five schools I applied to in round one. I was referred to Nisha by a friend and she very quickly helped me redo my essays and general narrative, quickly pointing out where there was significant room or improvement. I’m happy to say in round two, I had much greater success. I secured offers from both Chicago Booth and Columbia Business School. I’m confident that I would not have been successful had I not been willing to pivot and bring in Nisha.

    Nisha helped me during my Round 1 applications to three M7 schools - I was ultimately accepted to all three, including a scholarship offer from one school! Nisha was incredibly efficient and usually provided essay comments within a day. She was great at teasing out specific aspects of the narrative to ensure results and implications were clearly highlighted. During interview prep, she helped me identify areas of my profile that were not explicitly described in my written application to give more color to my personality. The application process was intense and nerve-racking, but I am so grateful that Nisha always provided candid feedback, a fresh perspective, and incredible support. Still in disbelief that I'm actually going to b-school, thank you, Nisha!

Coming into the process, I didn't have a strong network of peers that were applying to schools and was juggling studying for the GRE and full-time work.

  • Nisha Is A Great Choice!
    3 years ago
    I'm so glad I worked with Nisha! As a non-traditional applicant with time constraints, I was committed to hiring a consultant for my round 1 applications. Upon speaking with other consultants I felt she had the most confidence in my potential as a candidate, even with a less than stellar GMAT. Through our work together Nisha helped me craft materials that highlighted my strengths to outshine my weaknesses. We iterated a ton, and I appreciated her patience and commitment to my putting out the best materials possible. She was very timely and responsive and even went above and beyond our working agreement at one point to ensure I hit a deadline. I would not be going to my top choice with $ if it ...

    I absolutely loved working with Nisha for my MBA applications! She is excellent at listening to your story and being able to drive out the important facts that need to be highlighted in an essay or during an interview. I was particularly impressed by the speed at which she got back to me with any edits/reviews, sometimes within that same day! Nisha took extra steps in order to help me along my application journey, something that not a lot of consultants will do. I would highly recommend her to any future applicants!! She played a huge role in my success in getting into both of my top choices!

    I was so fortunate to work with Nisha Trivedi on my MBA application to Michigan Ross and MIT Sloan. As an international student looking to get into a top B-school, she helped me bring out the best of me in the clearest and most concise manner. Her turnaround time was impressive - I could get all my reviews within 24 hours. She efficiently managed my time despite having only a month to work on both applications. Fast forward, I got admitted to Michigan Ross with a full-tuition scholarship. I can not overemphasize how supportive and amazing Nisha was. I highly recommend her for anyone considering getting into Top MBA programs.

    Nisha is fantastic! I was interested in numerous top 20 schools but felt lost as to which would be the best fit. Nisha walked me through a school selection exercise where we narrowed my prospects to a couple of top 10 programs. She gave me the confidence to apply for schools I previously perceived as out of reach. She is fantastic at providing advice on essays without telling you what to write. I additionally found the mock interviews incredibly helpful. With Nisha's coaching, I was admitted into both top-tier programs I applied to!

    One of the best decisions I ever made was choosing to work with Nisha on my MBA applications. After unsuccessfully applying only to Kellogg’s MBA program two years in a row (I really had my heart set on staying in Chicago and going to Kellogg), I decided to take the plunge and hire an mbaMission consultant. As a non-traditional applicant, coming from a career in the nonprofit world and very little business background, I didn’t want to risk not getting into a top program and wasting yet another year. After reading each consultant’s bio, I ultimately chose to go with Nisha because of her extensive experience in the philanthropy world and feeling that she would best understand my background and translate my story strongly and ...

    I worked with Nisha from July 2020-May 2021 and she was extremely patient and supportive throughout the entire process. From our initial brainstorm, she always asked questions to help me dive deeper into my past experiences to tell a compelling story. She was clear and direct in her constructive criticism and consistently (and quickly) provided feedback to my essays and short answers to strengthen my application. Additionally, the interview prep was one of the best parts of my experience with mbaMission. It helped me feel more confident going into my interviews and ultimately helped me land at my dream school. Thank you, Nisha, for all of your help! I couldn't have done it without you!

    While I was initially hesitant to hire a consultant, I can say that it was completely well worth the cost to work with mbaMission and, most importantly, with Nisha! I signed up for free consultations with mbaMission and Stacy Blackman Consulting to hopefully gain some additional insight. Admittedly, I wasn’t the most organized when going into these consultations, but I had trouble connecting with the consultant from SBC and frankly found her to be condescending and rude. I wasn’t sure if I was asking her “dumb” questions, but she certainly made me feel that way. In late August, I had my mbaMission consultation with Nisha, and, while I was equally as disorganized as I was with SBC, my experience with Nisha was completely different. I asked ...

However, Nisha's calm and friendly demeanor eliminated much of the stress. She was very responsive, always willing to jump on a call and listen. Nisha was also very organized, helping me to stay on track and prioritize particular aspects of my applications. Nisha asked curious and intelligent questions that helped me articulate my experience and goals in a thoughtful way. Most importantly, she really listened to my questions and concerns.

    I decided to apply for a business school last September. After some basic research, it was apparent that I needed a consultant to guide me through the intricacies of the process. There is a myriad of consultants online, and I’ve spent some time reading through their resumes on P&Q and GMAT Club. At first, I hired a “highly-reviewed” company that turned out to be a money pumping machine (I can give you more details if you’d like). After spending some time with them, I decided to go a different route. That’s when I talked to Nisha. Why I liked Nisha: 1. We had a 30-minutes no-charge fit call.

She has helped to change my resume and my essay to make sure I was telling the best version of my story to the schools. She is extremely knowledgeable and works to build a cohesive application. Highly recommend working with her.

  • Highly recommend
    5 years ago
    In addition to expertise in highlighting and presenting an applicant's strengths and crafting his or her story from a high level, Nisha has very close knowledge about the specifics that are unique to each top school and that each looks for in an application. Nisha has a proven ability to read an application from the admission committee's point of view and provide objective feedback. This was incredibly helpful first in conveying a story that the admission's committee can understand and believe in, and second in making sure that the application shows school specific research and passion. Nisha is extremely experienced, a strong communicator, super responsive, and always objective. Highly recommend.

    Nisha is a fantastic MBA consultant who clearly cares deeply about her clients' success. It is very apparent that she brings together years of experience with a keen desire to help prospective students succeed. She has a great grasp of the business school process and is highly engaged - the preparation is far from cookie-cutter and responds directly to a candidate's individual strengths and areas for improvement. Through the stressful process, it is extremely helpful to lean on someone who is thoroughly competent and highly engaged. Nisha empowers success in her clients and I would highly recommend her!

  • MBA Applications Made Easy
    5 years ago
    Nisha made every step of the application process a breeze. From the very beginning, she was so thorough and insightful. She enabled me to craft my application so precisely and present the very best version of myself to my target schools. Before getting started with her, the process was a bit foreign to me and I didn't have a great idea of what each school looks for. She was the expert I needed to make sure I was hitting all the notes I should be. Her turnaround time was perfect, and her advice was very directed and thoughtful. Her critical process was exceptional and really helped me dive deep to develop ideas and explore the impacts I've made in ...

  • Nisha Trivedi Will Make Your Dreams Come True
    5 years ago
    Nisha far exceeded my already high expectations of an mbaMission admissions consultant. Her assistance drastically improved every phase of my applications. She transformed my resume and gave stellar feedback on my essays, focusing equally on the content I included and the way I presented it. She has a remarkable way of pulling insights out of you and making you think critically about the impact you've made on the job and within your extracurricular pursuits. I held a mock interview with her, which was exceedingly helpful, and when given multiple (yes, MULTIPLE!) scholarship offers to top schools she even helped me to navigate between my acceptances. Her turnaround time is fantastic and she gives incredible advice ...

    Picking an MBA advisor is a major decision that can shape the rest of one’s future. As I began to research different advisors, Nisha stood out immediately. Watching her introduction video and reading about her background I could feel her passion and sincere desire to help students reach their MBA goals. From the first few minutes speaking with her I knew I made the right decision. She is so knowledgeable about the MBA process and what top schools look for in applicants. With her extensive knowledge and skill I had complete confidence in her that I would be accepted into my top school. Nisha is always so responsive and helpful every-time we spoke. I would send her a draft in the evening and I would ...

  • Success!! Accepted to Booth & Fuqua
    5 years ago
    After struggling through the GMAT and feeling lost and unconfident after receiving an unexpected waitlist decision, Nisha coached me through submitting the rest of my applications, interview prep, and the waitlist process. I was impressed with Nisha's professionalism, empathy, coaching skills, and level of experience. She really set me at ease and alleviated the stress that comes along with this process. I've already made a personal referral and would trust Nisha to work with any colleague or friend. I was accepted to 2/5 programs I applied to and will be attending Booth in the fall. This is a major success story and a testament to the quality of services provided by MBA mission and Nisha. Highly recommend!!!!!

    I worked with Nisha during my MBA program selection and application process for 3+ months. She guided me in my decision to apply to the NYU Stern's part-time program and helped me transform my application to present my background, work experience, and extracurricular activities the best I possibly could. Nisha responded to my questions quickly, was always willing to get on the phone with me to discuss any piece of the application process and sent me feedback on my outlines and drafts within 24 hours. It was all extremely helpful throughout the process and allowed me to submit what I believe was a very strong application. I was accepted to Stern but even if I did not get the acceptance, I would have recommended ...

  • Admitted Into My Dream School With Nisha
    5 years ago
    I can't imagine going through the application process without Nisha. I was lost, I didn't know exactly what each school was looking for, and I was uncertain of how I should answer all those essay questions. Nisha helped me hone in on my narrative, kept everything in my application(s) on-message, and was a phenomenal help when it came to revising essays. She always responded as quickly as she could and was only encouraging. For a person with not-so-high test scores, it is a miracle that I'm going to one of the best business schools in the world and I owe it to Nisha.

  • Great Coach!
    5 years ago
    After taking the GMAT, I was a bit lost in terms of where, to begin with, the application process. I couldn't decide how to best position my non-traditional healthcare background. Nisha helped me tell my story more effectively and challenged me to be introspective about why I am pursuing my MBA. Working with her helped me to more clearly define my short and long-term goals, which became imperative not only for applications, but also for business school meet-and-greet events and, later on, interviews. Throughout the entire process, Nisha was prompt, encouraging and thoughtful in her feedback. I applied to 4 schools and was accepted to three with varying merit-based scholarships (including my "reach" school!), and am wait-listed at the fourth. I believe I would not ...

  • Amazing At Her Job
    6 years ago
    I come from a non-traditional background and wanted to add a consultant to help tailor my profile. I shopped around and after a few consultations, it was abundantly clear that Nisha not only was incredibly competent but also very reasonable, understanding and supportive. She was always incredibly quick to respond to email and regularly turned around redline requests quicker than the advertised 48 hour window. Her ability to highlight strong aspects of an essay and guide me to expand on stronger points is second to none. I think my favorite aspect of working with Nisha is how quickly I came to trust her opinion on any application related matter. I applied to 4 schools and was accepted to all 4 and was even ...

  • Thorough, Thoughtful & Enthusiastic - Highly Recommend!
    6 years ago
    I applied to 4 MBA programs in the first round in the fall of 2018 and I had a super busy work schedule, so I needed a consultant to provide guidance and coaching on very specific areas of my application, rather than trying to re-work aspects that I was already happy with. Nisha understood this right from the beginning. We focused on re-working my resume, which I hadn't touched in 5 years. She was extremely thorough with the resume and would provide high-level initial feedback to get me on the right track. I found that she was particularly strong at helping me see my accomplishments and skills through the eyes of an admissions officer, so that I could find the best way to position everything. ...

    I purchased a two school start to finish package with Nisha and it was worth every penny. Her resume critique is the gold standard. She helped me develop a resume that allowed me to fully explain my story but still remain concise and not long winded. With the essays she helped me realize the nuances with every essay question. She also helped me realize that every essay must be as concise and to the point. Her interview prep was invaluable. After doing mock interviews with her, going into the real interviews was like doing it a second time, that's how good she is. In addition to that Nisha was very speedy when it came to essay feedback, even when she was traveling abroad! When it ...

  • I can't thank Nisha enough
    6 years ago
    Nisha was everything I needed and more. She was so thorough, contentious of my time, money, and needs, and supportive the whole time. I was under a lot of pressure at work and felt really limited with my time in the application process and Nisha worked with all of my challenges. She was really good at helping me schedule and make deadlines for myself and keeping me accountable. Nisha helped me from A to Z with defining my "why" and forming my story in a genuine way that would resonate with others to guiding me through the waitlist process. She was so strategic with what information I should share and when - I would not have been able to do that part on my own. ...

    6 years ago
    Nisha helped guide my application journey from start to finish. With her help I was able to leverage my personal story and get into my target school. What I loved about working with her is how she pushed me to dive deep into my ‘why’ behind pursuing an MBA. She helped me communicate my purpose to the adcom in a way that was efficient and descriptive. Nisha is extremely thorough. I noticed this during our introductory consultation call. Her eye for detail was present throughout the entire process. She always had a great attitude, which was refreshing since applying to B-school can be draining at times. mbaMission also has a bunch of great resources, like their guides. I HIGHLY recommend Nisha to anyone who is ...

  • Nisha helped me shine!
    6 years ago
    I started working with Nisha a bit late in the game - meaning I had already taken the GMAT twice, recruited my references and I was only about 3 months out from application deadlines. I was aiming for 4 top 10 MBA programs and had high expectations. Nisha hit the ground running with me for resume and essay reviews and edits. Given that each school had their own 2-3 essay prompts, documents were flying back and forth between us daily. She really knew how to tailor each essay to the particular school and knew the inside scoop on each admission committee. Nisha not only helped me have amazing essays, but she helped me stay true to myself so that my personal stories captured the admissions ...

  • Resourcefulness and Personalized Feedback
    6 years ago
    It is an understatement to say I would not have gotten into business school without the help of Nisha from mbaMission. Throughout our one year working together, Nisha was a guide and thought partner I could count on. Her thoughtful feedback, rapid turnarounds, and ability to leverage other mbaMission resources made a huge difference in my candidacy. Nisha got to know me pretty well, despite just working on an hourly engagement. Thus, she was able to give me personalized feedback at all levels: from clarifying and tightening essay language to guidance on how I could improve my overall applicant profile. Nisha provided this feedback consistently much faster than the 2-day turnaround requirement. To drive this point home: Nisha returned feedback on an essay to me ...

    Working with Nisha was a great experience. She was very friendly and helpful in answering every question that I had. She helped make my essays concise and set in the correct narrative structure. Nisha's turnaround was quick, it only took her a day to get back to my drafts. In addition to the essays, Nisha helped me practice for my interviews and typical why questions. I would highly recommend Nisha when the deadline was approaching she made herself available during the weekend and got back to me right away when I had questions and made sure I was 100% comfortable before submitting my application. With her help, I was admitted to Chicago Booth.

    6 years ago
    I had the pleasure of working with Nisha during my MBA application process. As many would attest, this is usually a very stressful process. I attended an online MBA application workshop conducted by mbaMission, and Nisha was one of the facilitators. One of my target schools was Michigan Ross, and Nisha is an alum. This, combined with the positive impression she created during the online session, made me choose her as my consultant. Right from tweaking my resume, to fine tuning my essays, Nisha's insights, and two cents was invaluable. She was very helpful, and prompt in her replies/feedback. I also did mock interviews with her. There again, she tried to simulate the real interviews as much as possible, and this practice made me feel at ...

    I worked with Nisha Trivedi through my entire application process. I can honestly say I would not have been admitted to these schools without her help. She does a great job at helping you combine elements into a cohesive story that anyone can understand. She also takes the time to explain her thought process and provide options when selecting statements/stories. I would recommend Nisha to anyone in the process - she can pick up at any point, work with any personality (she's also worked with two of my friends), and help you deliver the best version for each school!

    I applied for Round 1 through the 2-school package. From the beginning, I really liked Nisha's honesty and candid feedback. Throughout the process, she constantly provided additional resources for my application. I also started my application process relatively late, but Nisha was very quick and efficient with editing my essays with qualitative feedback. While preparing for my interviews, she provided extra support, since she knew I was very nervous.

    I worked with Nisha & MBA Mission through the hourly package - as I had already narrowed down my schools and had an idea of what my application would look like. After spending some time understanding my goals and motivation for an MBA, we started outlining the stories that I wanted to tell in each of my essays. Nisha really helped me get my thoughts together and put them down in an essay in a clear and concise way. Nisha was very responsive even through the critical holiday season (I had applied in round 2 - in December/January) and her insights were extremely helpful. I was waitlisted at one of my top choices, and Nisha was extremely helpful in sending additional updates, which eventually helped ...

    I cannot say enough good things about Nisha and mbaMission overall. I was not originally planning to use a consulting service, but I am so glad I reached out for help. I got started a little late in the application process, but felt immediately relieved after my first call with Nisha. Once she had an idea of my background and goals, we hit the ground running. I felt like I knew my story but was having a difficult time making it clear and concise on paper. Nisha really took the time to understand the nuances of my experiences and my short term and long term goals. She used this understanding to make thoughtful and tangible recommendations on my essays. Nisha provided valuable insight on the ...
