  • Thank You, Nisha!
    4 weeks ago
    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!

    I unreservedly recommend working with Nisha on any aspect of your application. I began the MBA application process late and was faced with a condensed timeline to work through the GMAT and subsequent application materials. Nisha provided timely and invaluable input on all aspects of my candidacy from my resume to my essays and extra-curriculars. She was always responsive and available to jump on a zoom call to answer any pressing questions as the submission deadlines approached. We continued to work together leading up to the interview process. Nisha conducted a great mock interview session which helped immensely in my preparation for conversations with admission committees. She not only presented the opportunity to practice speaking to my application and experience, but also provided critiques on how ...

    I worked with Nisha on multiple applications during the 2023 cycle and I simply cannot underestimate how pivotal she was for my success! We worked together on HSW and I was accepted into H and W - an outcome I could only dream about prior to getting the official letters. When I first met with Nisha, I was understandably nervous and overwhelmed by all the work that had to be done to build my MBA applications, but she deftly structured the approach with me and took the time to answer my questions, be honest about my misgivings, and make strong suggestions for next steps when I wasn't sure how to proceed on my own. Nisha was absolutely crucial for my essays, my recommender selection and ...

    I had great experience working with Nisha! I was admitted with scholarships to all four schools that Nisha helped me with. Throughout the whole process, she was a great thought-partner and sounding board. She was also always very responsive and turned around essay comments in under 24 hours. I felt like her essay comments and general guidance really helped me shape my story and understand what admissions was really looking for in each part of the application. I also really appreciated that she often checked in with her colleagues to gather additional opinions on some of my questions. I would absolutely recommend working with Nisha!

    Nisha is truly the most amazing consultant. I was hesitant to pay for an admissions consultant at first, but my time with Nisha was 100% worth it. For the 4 schools I applied for, Nisha helped me get accepted from Harvard, Wharton and MIT, waitlisted from Stanford - seriously the best outcomes possible. She is extremely warm and supportive - Nisha made me feel so comfortable, ensuring I could get very vulnerable in my applications. She was an amazing sounding board - to make sure every story and anecdote in my application reflected the best part of me, and also she is an expert at knowing what the schools are looking for.

    Nisha was just what I needed to put forward the best possible application - positive feedback, thorough and speedy edits and recommendations on writing components, considerate collaboration, etc. She was always answering questions in a timely manner, no matter how silly or minute they were. If I hadn't had her in my corner, it would have been way harder to get into my dream school, let alone receive a partial scholarship! Nothing but good things to say!

Her inviting personality and optimism made this process a lot less daunting. I was grateful for all the upfront brainstorming and collaboration Nisha partnered with me on that helpful shape my story. From reviewing essays to answering one-off questions, Nisha was there for me at every step of the process. I truly would not have been accepted to my top choice program if it was not for her support.

    When I first started thinking about my MBA applications, I was nervous. The idea of fixing up my resume and writing an essay centered around me seemed like an impossible task. It all turned around when I first started talking to Nisha. Immediately, she gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my MBA applications. She helped craft my story based on the brainstorm document that I filled out and gave great ideas on which essays would contribute to my story. She always turned around revisions super quickly and replied to any questions that I have just as quickly. When it came to the interview, she gave great ideas on how to tackle each problem (also based on the brainstorm document) and how to structure ...

    I entered the MBA application process with a lot of unanswered questions, knowing it was a daunting process that would require ongoing support from an unbiased third party. I'm fortunate that I had the chance to work with Nisha for almost a year as I navigated decisions on which schools to apply to, how to structure my application, and how to fine-tune my essays. From our first meeting, Nisha listened to my ideas, thoughts, and questions very closely. I could always trust her to respond promptly and make herself available as soon as I needed her guidance, and I knew from her many years of MBA consulting experience that I was in good hands. Nisha understood my goals from an MBA program and could gently ...

    I cannot thank Nisha enough for her guidance throughout the entire application process. I say with confidence that working with Nisha was the best decision I made. Nisha was quick to respond - faster than prescribed - which I found extremely helpful, given the tight timelines for application. She has always been kind to provide guidance/ clarification via email or phone call whenever needed, even outside her normal work hour. Also, Nisha has a special skill for understanding the heart of an applicant’s story, which, I believe makes her edits crisp and insightful. Her questions/feedback helped me craft interesting stories and highlight unique aspects which I had not thought of. Lastly, during the mock interview, Nisha provided very detailed feedback on each question & answer. She also asked/ ...

    As a re-applicant who had applied to ten of the top-15 US Business schools and failed to get admission from a single school, I was admittedly at a low point. I was convinced I didn’t belong to the top 10 schools. This is when Nisha’s valuable input guided me out of a difficult period. She did a review my applications and gave me three precise reasons that would very likely have worked against me. I spent the next 4-5 months doing specific things, under her guidance, to target and bridge these gaps. Nisha knows the balance of give and take in such circumstances – it was like a partnership at all times. Despite being the expert, she was always open to listening to my views and ...

    I worked with Nisha on applying for the round 1 cycle for class of 2025. I went in very narrow-minded - I initially wanted to stay in my city and my city alone. Nisha's thoughtful guidance opened my eyes up to other programs that would not only help me get to where I want to go but give me a higher chance of being admitted at all. In a turn of events that I could not have predicted, I am moving away and attending the program of my dreams. Nisha, thank you for answering my anxious questions and calming my nerves. I am very grateful, and so excited to embark on this next chapter.

    I cannot give enough kudos to Nisha for helping me throughout the application process. Not only did she provide great and detailed feedback during our consultation call but she also put me at ease as I decided to use consulting services close to the Round 2 deadline. Coming from a slightly non-traditional industry, Nisha was able to help craft my story by highlighting my strengths and amplifying my various work and extra-curricular experiences in a tight timeframe. She’s very experienced, detail-oriented, and very accessible – through mbaMission has a 2-day response guarantee, Nisha would always respond within a day. I’m confident I wouldn’t have achieved the success I received without her and ultimately received an admit to my top school.

    I was able to secure a full ride at a Top 10 and Top 15 school through working with Nisha without a doubt. 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 helped provide structure during my MBA application process for Round 1 as we worked together on three schools. Nisha knew how to find the important themes and points in my profile that would differentiate me from other applicants with similar work experiences. I knew I wanted to spend the extra money given that I wanted to be as risk-averse as possible in the process and it was the best investment I made.

Fast forward, I got admitted to Michigan Ross with a full-tuition scholarship. I can not overemphasize how supportive and amazing Nisha was.

Nisha walked me through a school selection exercise where we narrowed my prospects to a couple of top 10 programs.

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.

    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 ...

  • Best Decision ever

    Nisha’s understanding of the process was incredible. She knew exactly what steps to take and what was necessary at each step in order to achieve the results needed. She was not only knowledgeable but cared about how the process ended up. From essay writing to the interview she made me feel like I was going to succeed and helped me highlight my best attributes.

    My first encounter with Nisha was through one of mbaMission’s free online workshops. I was quickly drawn to Nisha’s bright personality and her passion for helping applicants realize their MBA aspirations. As I listened to Nisha present, it became clear to me that she had extensive knowledge of the application process and experience working with many different types of candidates. Shortly after the session, I decided to purchase the Start-to-Finish package and I’m so grateful that I chose Nisha as my MBA consultant. Right from the start, Nisha provided great insight into the application process and worked with me to come up with a detailed game plan for my applications. I was very impressed with how much time and effort Nisha put into getting to know ...

  • mbaMission: Nisha Trivedi
    3 years ago
    As a first-timer, I felt that applying MBA was like losing my direction in a grand blue ocean, and then I got help from mbaMission. Nisha did a great job in helping my self-exploration. With mbaMission’s systematic approach, Nisha helped me explore my stories of successes and failures, and identified the key elements that bring up a strong application. She also helped me spot mistakes that I made in the essays and CV, avoiding elements that would confuse the readers or lead to unnecessary criticism. With Nisha’s support, my stories in the application become more compelling, and I was admitted to Judge and Said with a bursary from one of them. This totally exceeded my expectations and I am truly grateful for having Nisha’s support along ...

    I worked with Nisha mostly on writing my essays for 3 top B-schools (HBS, GSB, and Booth), I found her guidance and help very valuable, as we started with a structured approach on how how to determine the theme of my essays, molded each essay into each school's format, and kept me on track on important details one should include on these essays, I would've otherwise not included. Nisha was very knowledgeable about the project I needed to create, and also very flexible about making sure I could guide the project to keep it my own. In the end, I secured acceptances to 2 B-schools and I was placed on the waitlist for my 3rd application. I am sure Nisha's support greatly helped me submit a ...

    I decided to work with an MBA consultant after been waitlisted from Fuqua in Round 3. It wasn’t an easy decision as it represented an important investissement without any warranty of success. I knew getting into a top bschool was necessary to give me the career change I was seeking (PMM in tech) and I didn’t want to have any regrets about not putting all the chances on my side. I shopped around the different consultants and enjoyed my first interaction with Nisha.

From the very first conversation, Nisha set me at ease with her commitment to getting to know my story and made an overwhelming process much less stressful with her experience and expertise of the MBA programs I was applying to. In addition to her incredibly quick turnaround (almost always getting back to my questions/essay edits within 24hrs), she would often reach out and provide opportunities (such as good alternative transcript courses to consider) that would help improve my application further. I recently received admission to my target school with a significant scholarship. Nisha convinced me that I had a story worth telling and helped me craft an application that was uniquely me.

    I cannot say enough positive things about working with Nisha and mbaMission - highly recommend to anyone seeking to gain admission to a top MBA program! I wasn't initially planning to use an admissions consulting service, but I decided to give mbaMission's free consultation a try (who doesn't like free things?). After reading through all of the consultant bios, I chose to work with Nisha since her professional experience most closely aligned with my intended post-MBA career plans. After exchanging a couple of emails, I sent Nisha a copy of my resume for review -- while I was impressed with her responsiveness, I was still skeptical that I would get much out of our session.

In our second virtual meeting, we talked through a questionnaire aimed at translating my best experiences into an attractive admissions story. Nisha was great at bringing the storyteller out of me. As I work in investment management, I needed a sounding board to determine which finance jargon to leave in and which to omit in my essays, resume, and interview prep. Nisha helped me strike this balance. I initially chose to work with Nisha because she herself had gained admission to my target school and she is intimately familiar with the program.

Nisha is clear and helps you get your story and thoughts straight while making your story shine and keeping it your own. She has strong interpersonal skills, and that was a key factor in helping me choose the best ways to show my strengths, weaknesses and leadership skills. I had a tight schedule due to the close deadline of the final round, she was always efficient and thanks to her help, insights and clear feedback I was able to submit all 5 personal essays, job description essays and CV required for INSEAD in time and with the potential to stand out and be selected.

    Nisha came highly recommended by many of my peers and mentors who went through MBA application cycles before me. As early as my initial consultation with her, I understood why. Nisha truly cares about her clients (shown by her continued follow-ups, even after our work together is done) and seeks to fully understand their careers and stories before diving into applications. She helped me with application strategy and essay review, helping me come to a much stronger story and allowing me to become much more confident with my applications. As a result, I was accepted into my top-choice MBA program. I highly recommend working with her - she'll make sure you're sharing the best version of yourself with your schools!

However, Nisha provided valuable insights that allowed me to highlight my strongest qualities, both from a professional and extracurricular activities perspective. I especially enjoyed Nisha's demeanor, which was one of cautious optimism. This type of personality is very effective in a competitive MBA admissions process.

She's also really upbeat and encouraging, which makes the application process relaxed and productive instead of anxiety-inducing. Overall, I can't recommend Nisha and mbaMission enough!!! On a personal note, I came into the application process really unsure of my prospects because my background was unorthodox and not easily package-able, I didn't have good recommenders, and it's intimidating for me to talk about why I'm 'unique and amazing.'

    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.

    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. ...

  • Nisha was Everything I Needed in a Consultant!
    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 ...

  • Fantastic work and quick turnaround!
    6 years ago
    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.

  • Amazing, and very helpful
    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 ...

  • Nisha is a game changer!
    6 years ago
    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!

  • Hourly Package: Worth Every Penny
    6 years ago
    The MBA admissions process can be stressful - trying to balance work, GMAT prep, and applications is difficult. Nisha helped demystify the application process and worked with me to break down the application steps into manageable chunks so I never felt overwhelmed. She is great at helping you tell a story to the Admissions committee and making sure that your best attributes shine through. I highly recommend Nisha for your MBA applications.

  • Highly Recommend Nisha
    6 years ago
    Nisha was extremely helpful through the entire MBA process- start to finish. All my questions were answered quickly and she took as much time needed to talk through applications. She was a great resource and always supported the decisions I made on applying R1 vs R2 after giving me all the information I could use to make those decisions in an informed manner. Highly recommend Nisha!

  • Nisha was AMAZING
    6 years ago
    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.

  • Nisha was amazing help!
    7 years ago
    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 ...

  • Huge thanks to Nisha and mbaMission!
    7 years ago
    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 ...
