Nisha Trivedi

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 penny. I benefited immensely from the institutional knowledge of all the applicants they were working with (i.e. knew when other applicants to the same school were getting interviews, excellent track record of getting students placed), and I really appreciated their tech-focus approach (you get access to a whole resource database of precedents, tips for the application, etc. through their onTrack module).

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 addition to helping me determine how to best “brand” myself. If it were not for Nisha, I do not think I would have been able to get into 4 out of 5 of the schools I applied to, let alone receiving scholarship money!

Nisha is an excellent advisor, listener and a guide. She was excellent with her balanced opinion and prompt with her responses in helping me wrap up my application essays.
She is highly professional, and was effective in helping me reflect on focus areas such that I could put together a cogent and consistent story. Nisha was also an excellent guide for the interview prep.
I recommend her highly as an admissions consultant and as a mentor.

Working with Nisha on my Haas MBA application was an incredibly rewarding experience. Nisha’s guidance was thorough and personalized, always aiming to bring out the best in my application. She was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring and supportive throughout the entire journey. Her feedback was constructive and prompt, which greatly helped in meeting all application deadlines comfortably.

Thanks to Nisha, I felt confident and well-prepared. I am thrilled to say I have been accepted into Haas, and I couldn’t have done it without her expert assistance. I highly recommend Nisha to any prospective MBA applicant who seeks a thoughtful and effective approach to the MBA application process.

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. She pushed me to discover what my true goals were and helped me craft a narrative to best showcase them. She is tapped into exactly what business schools are looking for and is able to expertly guide clients. I am so thankful to have been connected to Nisha, with her help I got into my two top schools – Wharton and Booth! For anyone considering a consultant, Nisha is the one to work with. She goes above and beyond to answer emails, provide feedback and schedule catch up calls. She’s incredibly prompt with her responses which was crucial in the weeks leading up to deadlines. She also helped keep me on track with the essay writing timeline which was immensely helpful.
This is the only review you need to read if debating between working with a consultant or not – definitely work with a consultant to maximize your ROI and when choosing your consultant, work with Nisha!

Thank you, Nisha!

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.

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 several key decisions – offering considerations that I had not thought of so I could be sure I was making the best possible decision in short turnaround times. Besides the applications, I am confident the insights, self-discoveries, and articulation skills I gained from working with Nisha will help me in school and beyond as well! I will wholeheartedly work with Nisha again if I had the chance.

Nisha helped me apply to 3 top ranked business schools – I was ultimately accepted to all 3 schools with scholarships from all 3!

Nisha’s guidance was incredibly helpful, all the way from the brainstorming sessions to the editing of my various essays. Her deep understanding of the application process, combined with a talent for highlighting my individual/unique strengths, made her guidance invaluable. Nisha’s personalized strategy helped me to craft narratives that truly stood out to my preferred programs. Her precise, insightful feedback really pushed me to present my experiences in the most compelling way.

I’m really happy I worked with Nisha and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance and support through the difficulty MBA application process.

I had the privilege of working with Nisha throughout my MBA application journey, and I cannot express enough gratitude for her support and expertise. From start to finish, Nisha demonstrated unparalleled dedication and skill.

Nisha’s approach was comprehensive and personalized. She took the time to truly understand my background, aspirations, and strengths, allowing her to guide me effectively in crafting a compelling narrative for my applications. She was instrumental in helping me articulate my career goals and align them with my chosen schools’ missions and values.

One of Nisha’s standout qualities is her timely and meticulous feedback. Whether it was refining my essays, strategizing school selections, or preparing for interviews, she consistently provided insightful suggestions that enhanced the quality of my applications. Her constructive criticism was always delivered with a dose of encouragement, fostering an environment of positivity and growth.

Thanks to Nisha’s guidance, I received admission offers from five T15 programs, including one with a scholarship. Her expertise undoubtedly played a pivotal role in this success.

Nisha is wonderful to work with! She helped me brainstorm meaningful stories for my essays and made sure I highlighted my impact in the most efficient ways. Her quick turnaround time for feedback is impeccable, and she is very communicative about her time availability. Couldn’t have gotten into Stanford without her!

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 was pivotal in helping me navigate through the overwhelming MBA application process. She was a wonderful mentor and friend, helping me to create my storyboard, uncover my goals and get into my dream MBA program! She always provided prompt and constructive feedback. I highly recommend her as an MBA consultant.

Nisha played an instrumental role in aiding me through the often overwhelming process of the MBA application. Her guidance was invaluable and she assumed the roles of not just a mentor, but also a confidant. Her assistance extended to helping me craft my storyboard, a task that required both strategic thinking and personal introspection. Furthermore, she was instrumental in helping me uncover my goals, encouraging me to dig deeper and identify my true objectives.

Her feedback was always timely and constructive, demonstrating her profound understanding of the MBA process and what it takes to succeed. She excelled in combining her expertise with a personalized approach, ensuring each piece of advice was tailored to my individual circumstances.

Nisha’s unwavering support and her remarkable ability to simplify complex matters truly set her apart. Given my positive experience and the value she added to my MBA journey, I wholeheartedly recommend her as an MBA consultant. She is undoubtedly an asset to anyone looking to navigate the intricacies of the MBA process.

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 had the privilege of working with Nisha during crunch time of my round 1 applications to three M7 business schools. Nisha was not just a consultant; she was a mentor and guide throughout the process. Her professionalism, promptness, and friendly approach made the stressful period of applications much more manageable.

Her feedback on my resume and essays was detailed and insightful, significantly enhancing the quality of my application. Nisha’s ability to provide constructive criticism while highlighting my strengths was extremely helpful. She understood the intricacies of each school’s application process and tailored her advice accordingly.

What truly set Nisha apart was her efficient use of time. Despite the time constraints, she ensured that every piece of feedback was actionable and impactful, making the most of the consulting hours I had purchased. Her dedication to my success was evident in her willingness to go the extra mile, accommodating my schedule and responding swiftly to my queries.

Thanks to Nisha’s guidance, I was admitted to CBS’ class of 2026. Her expertise and personalized approach were invaluable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to make their MBA application stand out. Nisha’s support is not just an investment in your application but in your future.

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 to better answer questions to convey the strengths I possessed as a candidate.
I am happy to say that I have been offered admission to my top choice in M7 school, and it would not have been possible without Nisha’s continued help and support. If you are in the market for a consultant who will get to know you as a candidate and work with you through each step of your application, Nisha is the perfect fit.

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 preparation, interview preparation, and all of the small parts of the applications that I didn’t even know existed! We spent months going through brainstorming sessions, picking strong themes, and revising outlines and drafts upon drafts of essays until we had work products that we were satisfied with. Nisha took the time to understand and balance the important parts of life with what would help my profile and application the most with each school we worked on. This was similarly true for how much she helped me pick and prepare my recommenders, and her help was invaluable when it came time to do interviews. Nisha expertly balances professionalism, honesty, and warmth to make the daunting experience a rewarding one. I can say with certainty that we left no stone unturned and, with Nisha’s help, I put my best foot forward for each of my applications.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Nisha was pivotal for my successful applications to top MBA programs and I would sincerely recommend her to anyone serious about applying!

Nisha was instrumental in guiding me through the MBA admission process. She was supportive and responsive, and provided extremely helpful feedback on my application materials from my essays to my resume. She helped ensure that my voice and story came through authentically across every component of the application. It was certainly worth the investment. The results showed, because I got into Harvard!

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!

Working with Nisha was such a dream! She is flexible in how you structure your hours and sessions, finding what works best for you and supports your goals. We focused majority of the time on essays and short answers, communicating via email and jumping on Zoom when needed. Her guidance was critical in getting my essays where they needed to be, and overall, working with her gave me so much more confidence in my application. With Nisha’s help, I’ve been accepted to all 4 programs I applied to, inclusive of 2 full tuition scholarships.

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.

When it was essay crunch time, Nisha went the extra mile to make sure I had edits as soon as possible. She always responded to emails promptly, scheduled Zoom calls when needed and helped me so much to be concise! With any questions, Nisha gives a firm and kind response – she also will double-check with other mbaMission consultants to get their input, so you get the best answer possible.

Could not rate Nisha more highly!!!

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!

I only wanted to apply to one school—Ross. I consulted Nisha for help on the essays, resume, and interview. She was very helpful and provided awesome feedback with fast turnaround times. It was a great value!

I cannot recommend Nisha enough! I came into the MBA application process feeling overwhelmed and lacking structure. From the moment I connected with Nisha, I knew I made the right choice. 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. If you are considering a MBA consultant, look no further – Nisha is a rockstar!

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 each answer. I got into both my MBA programs with amazing scholarships.

I could not have asked for a better consultant. Nisha was always respond her emails on time and without her comments and feedback, I don’t think I would be in the current situation where I am admitted to my desirable school.

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 suggest new schools or application approaches that accommodated my personal strengths and weaknesses. Her feedback is very direct and constructive, and she knows how to encourage you over a prolonged application process. I’d recommend working with Nisha to anyone considering getting support from a professional. Thanks to Nisha’s support, I’m joining Kellogg’s 1Y MBA program next month and am excited about my future.

Nisha helped me get into my top choice schools (Yale, Michigan, and UCLA) with amazing scholarships at each one. Her turnaround time is amazing and she helped me develop a clear story for each school. Each step of the process was a breeze with Nisha’s experience and advice. She is one of the kindest people I have worked with! I highly recommend.

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/ helped me prepare for questions that were not in the mbaMission guidebook – which I found really helpful!

Overall, I am thankful for being able to work with Nisha. I am glad that I met her to get into my dream school – top tier MBA program.

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 incorporated the inputs she felt were reasonable and thoroughly discussed with me the reasons for disagreement, on the occasions she disagreed. It was always a constructive back and forth – and that, in addition to her insights, is what has been special about working with Nisha.
Thanks to her valuable guidance, I have secured offers from NYU Stern and Michigan Ross.

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.

As I was preparing for the application process, I was uncertain whether I would work with a consultant or not, but (thankfully) one of my colleagues, who had worked with Nisha in the past, referred me to her. From the start, I appreciated Nisha’s candidness and ability to help me craft my story. Nisha’s help was invaluable throughout the application process, and I highly recommend working with her!

Working with Nisha was a fantastic experience. She is amazing! I decided to apply in round 3 and was just 2 weeks away from the deadlines for my target schools. Despite the time crunch, Nisha took the time to thoroughly understand my story and offered some valuable insights to perfect my resume and essays. She also completely walked me through the mock interviews, spent a lot of time evaluating my performance, and helped me strengthen my responses. Through her guidance, I was able to get admits to all the 3 schools (CMU, UC Berkeley and UCLA) that I applied to and even secured a scholarship from one of them. Nisha’s quick turnaround time- she usually sent comments and suggestions within a couple of hours of receiving the draft, attention to detail and the ability to always be there and celebrate the success of her clients is truly commendable. I am so grateful to have found her and extremely thankful for all the guidance and support she has provided.

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 came into the application process pretty late in August and was all over the place till I found Nisha. She has a knack for picking out the important elements from your stories and ensuring that you put your best foot forward. I truly appreciated her patience given the short time we had for the deadlines and was highly impressed with her quick turnaround time. Additionally, her feedback on my mock interview was highly beneficial as I prepared for the real deal. If you are looking to ace the application process, look no further – Nisha is the one. Thank you for all your help, Nisha!

I was referred to Nisha by a friend who was successful in getting into an MBA program with Nisha’s help. Even though MBA consultant packages can be expensive, Nisha provided many benefits that easily made it worth the cost. Having her every step of the way, whether it was related to advice on the GMAT, essay brainstorming, or interview strategy, really made the application process that much smoother and less stressful. The guidance that Nisha offered was great and her feedback was helpful. Nisha was always very accessible and quick to respond. If she didn’t have an answer right then, she was very proactive to find an answer by asking her network at MBAmission. Overall, I was extremely pleased with Nisha and highly recommend her to anyone needing help with the MBA application process. I really enjoyed my time working with her and am very confident in her ability to deliver successful results.

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.

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 weren’t for Nisha!

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.

I first spoke with Nisha during a 30 minute consultation call a year before I actually applied to business school. She provided invaluable and honest feedback regarding my candidacy and areas to improve on within the next year. This conversation was instrumental in ensuring that I submitted my best application the following year.
Once I was ready to apply and had chosen the schools, I opted for hourly services and Nisha was so helpful and provided thoughtful and prompt feedback to my resume and essays while patiently answering any questions I had. She is excellent to work with and I particularly appreciated her transparency, reliability, and genuine nature.

I received admission to my top choice school and I am so grateful to Nisha for providing honest and direct guidance during this process. I highly recommend her to anyone looking into business school- regardless of where you are in the process, Nisha will help make sure you are on the right track!

Before reaching out to mbaMission, I was really hesitant to apply to school this year and unsure of whether I’d be admitted to any program. Thanks to all the help from Nisha at mbaMission, I was accepted to my target school! Nisha walked me through every part of the application and answered all my questions. She helped frame my story in the essays in order to put my best foot forward in the application. Nisha was available over email and responded super promptly to all of my essay and application questions. Once my application was submitted, Nisha also helped me prep for the interview and conducted a mock interview that really helped me prep for the real one. Additionally, mbaMission has tons of guides to help in every part of the application process. Overall, I’m super happy with this experience.

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 favorably. And I was NOT wrong.

Nisha did an excellent job of understanding me and my professional and personal experiences, asking all the right questions, picking up on details I myself did not even notice, answering all of my questions thoughtfully, and making the most of our short time together. She was extremely thorough, efficient, and QUICK to get my essays back to me (sometimes even the same day). She actually helped me better understand myself, my worth, my goals, and improved my self-confidence. Nisha helped me refine my story, advising which details and experiences were worth focusing on, explore and clarify my short and long-term goals, and practice talking about it all in preparation for my interviews.

Due to some personal matters, I did not start my applications until late in the game, I was in a huge time crunch to get my applications done with only six weeks to go until the Round 2 deadlines. She did an excellent job in helping me determine the best program fits for me and meet the deadlines for the two schools (Duke’s Fuqua and Michigan’s Ross) with which she helped. Her help and expertise ultimately landed me admittance into Duke’s Fuqua (my number one choice) and UCLA’s Anderson, as well as waitlisted at the University of Michigan’s Ross. I cannot recommend Nisha enough for anyone looking to hire a consultant, especially if you have a background in philanthropy and are looking to pivot. Truly the best professional investment and choice I have ever made.

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!

Nisha is an amazing consultant- she truly helped raise the bar on all of my applications. She helped me get into every business school that I applied to. (With scholarships!) She was a thorough reviewer and helped me ensure my story was consistent/concise while still being unique to me. I recommend her to future applicants without any reservation and I am confident that Nisha works in this way no matter what. Thank you again Nisha for being such an advocate for candidates.

Nisha was really an excellent consultant. She had the unique task of working with both me and my girlfriend trying to get into the same school and she went the extra mile to ensure that we did.

Nisha was extremely attentive and knowledgeable. She was also very honest and transparent about her reasoning which made the process a lot more understandable and less intimidating. She did a great job with general advice as well as the essays and helped us get into USC!! Nisha’s help was really more than we could’ve hoped for! I would recommend Nisha to anybody beginning this difficult but worthwhile process!

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 her the same “dumb” questions, but she was patient and left me feeling reassured. I told her that I was unsure that I wanted to move forward with purchasing a package, and she was completely understanding. She never pressured me and followed up our call with helpful resources. Over the next couple of months following the consultation, I tried to rely on free resources but quickly became overwhelmed with all of the different (and sometimes contradictory) advice floating around and needed to have feedback and advice that would be tailored to me.

In early November, I finally signed up for the Complete Start-to-Finish package for two schools with Nisha, and it was an amazing decision! I was worried about only having two months to work on my applications and essays, but I ended up completing everything before the deadline.

During the entire process, Nisha was warm, encouraging, responsive, and wise–Everything that you need from someone helping you with this important journey. I had a MILLION questions, sometimes about the tiniest things, and she was continuously patient and gave great advice. Most importantly, she helped me zero in on my career goal, as I wasn’t 100% sure before starting this process.

She provided invaluable guidance and input on the applications and essays but did so in a way where the essays still sounded like me and were authentic to who I am. After I received an interview invitation, I received that same counsel for the next step of the process. In all, Nisha helped me feel more confident not only about my profile but also about myself.

Now that I’ve completed the process, I can happily say that I’ve been accepted to my dream school and am confident that I wouldn’t have been able to get here without Nisha.

I would recommend Nisha to anyone applying to business school! I worked with her on a 2-school package. Initially, I was incredibly overwhelmed and intimidated by the application process. 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. She supported me every step of the way. When I was accepted to my top school, Nisha was the first person I wanted to tell!

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 me and understanding my background as well as my motivations for pursuing an MBA.

Nisha always came well prepared to our discussions and it was very easy to have an open conversation with her. I really appreciated how Nisha pushed me to dig deep and self-reflect on my experiences, helping me to make the most of my stories. She gave targeted feedback throughout the essay writing process and was extremely responsive, answering any questions that I had along the way. Nisha was also incredibly helpful in my interview preparation; she advised me on the different types of interview styles that I could expect to see and ran me through mock interviews that closely simulated my actual interviews. Practicing my stories with Nisha and incorporating her feedback helped me feel confident and much more comfortable during my live interviews.

Overall, Nisha far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend working with her to any applicants beginning their MBA journey. With her guidance, I was able to get into one of my top programs and I can’t thank her enough for all her support throughout my applications!

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 the way!

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 much stronger application.

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. She quickly understood my background and profile and gave me some convincing suggestions on how I should market myself. In addition, mbaMission seemed like an excellent firm with handy resources.

During my time with Nisha, she helped me understand my previous application’s deficiencies that got me waitlisted. She helped me select the experiences and achievements relevant to build a clear and coherent profile true to me. She was always very responsive, organized and available when needed. She gave me great feedback and guidance on my essay and interview practices.

As a result, I got accepted at Fuqua – my top choice, where I got waitlisted the year prior.

Nisha was extremely helpful from minute one. She responded faster than expected to essay drafts, and knew exactly what it took to get accepted into my dream school and I did! 10/10 would recommend.

I highly recommend Nisha Trivedi from mbaMission. 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. Again, I would highly recommend Nisha for anyone looking for a dedicated, supportive and insightful MBA consultant. Thank you, Nisha!

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. BOY WAS I WRONG! As it turns out, Nisha not only provided me with valuable tips and tricks, but she also asked the right questions to help me better articulate my accomplishments. I knew within the first 15 minutes of my consultation that I wanted to continue working with Nisha throughout my application process.

I ended up purchasing an hourly package so that I could work with Nisha as I drafted my essays. For context, my essay drafts were in decent shape at the time we began working together, but Nisha really helped me get to the point where I was telling my own story in a unique and engaging way in each essay. I appreciated that Nisha did not try to “change” my story or put words in my mouth that would make my application inauthentic, albeit stronger; she provided insightful suggestions on how I could best articulate both my story and my goals.

Nisha also provided invaluable guidance on what each school was looking for in the essays in terms of the topics/themes to address. I probably would have ended up with very different (read: weaker) essays had we not had those conversations. I really appreciated Nisha’s ability to provide strategic direction when it came to the content of the essays, as well as her attention to detail (e.g, grammar, word choice) when it came to proofreading my final drafts.

Additionally, I was very impressed with Nisha’s quick turnaround time and the depth of her reviews — she usually sent comments and suggestions within 24 hours of receiving a draft. We exchanged several drafts of each essay (average of 3 essays per school, I applied to 5 schools) in a relatively short time frame so that I could meet all of the RD1 deadlines. I was also very impressed (and pleased and thankful) that Nisha was able to clear her schedule, with very little notice, to help me prep for my first interview (which came weeks before I was expecting to hear back). She walked me through a mock behavioral interview and then spent a significant amount of time debriefing my performance and giving me frameworks to make my responses stronger. I was able to apply those frameworks to confidently answer every question thrown at me during my interview!

Ultimately, I gained admission to each of the MBA programs I applied to w/ significant scholarships. I have no doubt that Nisha played an integral role in strengthing my application and making it stand out.

Thank you, Nisha!!

Nisha was a fantastic partner in the application process from start to finish. 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. I did not know what to expect working with an MBA consultant – this was an incredible experience from start to finish!

Nisha was extremely helpful during my application process. She helped me reshape my resume and fine-tune my essays to present myself in the best light possible. Nisha is incredibly responsive and provides honest, constructive feedback.

Nisha was extremely professional and helpful throughout the MBA application – she gets my highest marks. I primarily used Nisha’s services in drafting my essays, revising my resume, and preparing for interviews. Without Nisha, I would not have been able to translate my engineering experience into terms and skills that the admissions committee could easily understand. With her help, I was admitted to my number one school destination! Thank you!

Nisha and I got in touch through mbaMission. I had (2) weeks to put together a full application and Nisha helped review my essays and provide very tangible feedback in less than 24 hours. Knowing how short my timeline was, she wasted no time by working throughout the weekend, even on Sunday, to make sure I didn’t miss my deadline. Despite the quick turnaround, she did a great job helping bring out my stories and personality to the fullest to ensure that what I was trying to get across in the word limit came out. Without her quick turnaround times and great tangible feedback, I would not have been admitted into Kellogg. I highly recommend Nisha to anyone who needs help on their essays.

I met Nisha through the 30-min first consultation and I immediately realized she was great. 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.

During the mock interview, Nisha walked us through every single step of the process, which made the real thing much less daunting! Her tips were clear and applicable for the real interview. She also takes time to provide everyone with personal feedback, and you’ve got time to ask her all your questions as well. The mock is a great way to test your strategies for the interview and see what works or doesn’t work, as well as what can be improved. The group interview can be daunting, so this is a great way to lower your stress level on D-day!

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!

I got in touch with Nisha and mbaMission at the end of November to start working on applications for Round 2 deadlines. Despite how late in the game I was, Nisha wasted no time getting me up to speed. She supported me through brainstorming each of the schools we worked on, reaching out to recommenders, and getting everything submitted on time. She helped me bring out stories about my experience that I didn’t even know I had. I didn’t fully realize how intensive interviewing for schools would be, but Nisha was with me every step of the way through that process as well. I was fortunate to be accepted to multiple schools, and there is no way I would have made it through this process without Nisha’s support. Not only did she make sure I was fully prepared for and satisfied with each step, but also she helped give me the confidence that I could be successful in the application process. I highly recommend her and know that she will be just as invested in your journey!

Nisha was incredible to work with- she helped me craft a cohesive story and highlight my experience in a way that I would not have thought of. Her comments were always clear and pushed my thinking forward, and she responded to my emails within 24 hours. As a nontraditional candidate, she helped me position my skills in a way that was favorable in the eyes of the adcom. I definitely recommend working with her!

Wow, where do I begin! I decided to apply to business school at the tail end of Round 2, and was basically in a bind to find a consultant that was willing to work with me over the Christmas holiday to draft a fulsome application. A herculean task to say the least. I reached out to mbaMission, and Nisha came to the rescue. We started by laying out and agreeing to a timeline, and we stuck to it religiously! I cannot begin to talk about how fast and efficient she would review my documents, allowing me to make the most of the short time we had to craft the application. She also took on the task of steering my recommenders in the right direction, which, given the short amount of time they had to craft it, was a tasked many would shy away from. Not Nisha. Instead, she stayed in contact with my recommenders, making sure that their letters were in line with the story that I was trying to tell. Finally, though we were in a pressurized situation, I always felt relaxed when we would jump on the phone to go through my resume, essays, and other pertinent parts of the app. Nisha is a large reason that I got accepted to the only business school I applied for! Her work ethic is second to none, and her efficiency and work quality is superb! I highly recommend future applicants to consider her as your consultant!

I started my journey for MBA admissions and GMAT prep four years ago and finally last year after lots of struggles and barriers I decided to apply to B-schools. I attended several free calls with consultants from different companies but after speaking with Nisha I believed that her professionalism and experience can really help me secure admission to a prestigious University.
She was very supportive throughout this overwhelming process and someone you can always count on for any admission related inquiries.
I truly recommend Nisha for anyone who is looking for complete support or any ad-hoc help needed.

As someone pivoting careers, I was unsure if I would be a strong applicant. Nisha helped me from start to finish. We first developed a list of schools to target, and then we brainstormed ways in which I could leverage my personal and professional experiences in my applications and essays. Nisha did a great job of absorbing my life story, my aspirations, my unique experiences, and my strengths and weaknesses. Not only was Nisha incredibly helpful in devising a big-picture strategy, but she also helped me with all of the minute details, and always in a prompt fashion. Whether it was redirecting me to another topic, helping me to clarify my thoughts, or helping me with an ambiguous short-answer question on an application, Nisha always had great advice. I was ultimately admitted to multiple top-10 programs, in large part because of Nisha. And in the end, when deciding which school to attend, of course, Nisha’s advice was thoughtful, insightful, and right on!

I worked with Nisha starting in June 2019. From the beginning, Nisha was extremely helpful. She was very candid throughout my entire admissions process.

Nisha really took the time to understand my background and helped me craft “my story”. As a traditional applicant (Indian male from a finance background), I thought I would not be able to differentiate myself. 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. All throughout my MBA journey, she kept motivating me but also wanted me to be realistic with potential outcomes. She was also readily available and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.

I highly recommend Nisha as a consultant without any reservation! With her help, I got into all of my top choice schools (Booth, Kellogg, and Yale).

Nisha was extremely beneficial with every step of the MBA application process – from school selection to application crafting, to essay brainstorming and writing, to final decision-making. I am extremely appreciative of all her help.

Nisha was great to work with on my apps. I was pretty overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start and she helped me get my story together for essays and crush the interviews. As a very generic candidate, she helped me craft my unique story that would stick out to the adcom.

Nisha was an incredible help during the process. She knows what makes a winning story in an application, she’s very dedicated and personally invested in your success (she almost always got back to me within 24 hours), and her edits/comments/responses were thorough, thoughtful, and clever. 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.’ But as I learned, everyone has a winning story that will get them into business school, and Nisha helped me find and frame that story, and without her, I’m sure I would not have gotten into all five schools to which I applied, including my reach schools. Thank you, Nisha!!!!

I used hourly services for Nisha Trivedi, after getting a recommendation from a current b-school student. She is worth every penny. She was timely with her reviews and really strategic with the feedback she provided. Business school applications are all about being strategic, and as important as it is to be authentic with your story, it is equally as important to be strategic to put yourself in the best light. Nisha’s expertise truly shines here, and I was able to get into two of my dream schools – NYU and UCLA, thanks to her. Also, in addition to the essay help, she helped prep for the interview in a real-life scenario, with direct, actionable feedback that helped me succeed. Unless you understand b-school application strategy (which not many do), HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND using MBAMission, but more importantly, Nisha Trivedi.

I had the pleasure of working with Nisha on two of my Round 1 Applications and could not recommend her services anymore. From the very start of the engagement, I could tell that Nisha had a deep understanding of the programs I was applying to and how I should best position my story in order to stand out to their Admissions Committees. This was critical in both the resume and essay development as she knew which qualities were the most important to display in each. Nisha also had a remarkable turnaround time for any feedback. It was rare that I ever waited more than 24 hours for a revision and she always provided very candid and very direct advice.
This truly made it feel like she was your partner in this process who was just as invested in your success as you were. Nisha helped make a complex and, at times, seemingly unattainable process both manageable and within reach. I can not imagine having successfully navigated through this without her help at each step.

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.
This was the call that allowed us to “feel” each other’s communication style and see if we could work together. It was a huge advantage, in my opinion, because I’m a very opinionated person and I don’t easily get along with just anyone. My timeline was very short and needed to find the match ASAP (the first company wasn’t offering fit calls).
2. Nisha asked me the right questions.
During that call, Nisha was immediately providing value by asking the right questions and setting my thought process in the right direction. The first company charged me $425 and wasted that hour completely, we had to re-do the discovery process one more time afterward (with charges applied, of course).
3. Nisha delivered on time and went beyond my expectations.
When we started working together, we set up the objectives, deliverables, and timelines. I never felt like we lacked progress because the communication was constant, concise, and clear. The other consultant took precisely 47 hours between our communications. Regardless of whether it was a 5-second or a 30-minute answer.

To summarize:
Your consultant will not be doing things for you. You will have to work hard as well. But it is much easier to be putting in the work when your knowledgeable coach is guiding you carefully along the way. Nisha certainly was that coach for me.

Nisha was so incredible to work with throughout the entire application process. She was responsive, thoughtful, and made sure to keep me both informed and on track during the application process. Nisha helped me narrow down which schools I wanted to apply to, hone in on my story and why business school was the right choice for me, and help me prepare for my interviews. She was able to look at each one of my applications comprehensively and show me what was working and what wasn’t. After Nisha’s edits and insights, I felt confident that my applications were at their best when submitting. Nisha was referred to me by a close friend who said “if you are going to spend your money on one thing throughout the application process, it should be Nisha’s services” and I couldn’t agree more. I was accepted to my first choice school and I could not be more thankful for all of Nisha’s help. HIGHLY recommend!

I purchased hourly services to help me with my MBA applications. While I knew the general background of the process, I realized a consultant would help me (1) focus and edit my story and (2) keep me on time. In the initial brainstorming session and through countless reviews and edits, Nisha’s breadth of experience helped me to clarify and strengthen my case for why an MBA was compelling for me. Nisha was also extremely efficient at editing and her feedback helped me to focus my story. Having her insight and feedback into what would make my story stand out was invaluable to my application process. Overall, I believe her guidance was an important part of my admission to Booth (with significant scholarship money) and Sloan.

Nisha is amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I was a rare case in the MBA admissions world, applying straight out of college, but she helped to guide me along the path. She gives insight feedback in a very timely manner and helps to pull out the best aspects of an application. 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.

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!

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 my professional, academic, and personal activities. In the end, I knew I had maximized my potential when submitting my applications and it paid off. I was accepted to a top program and I can’t thank Nisha enough for her help in getting me there!

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 whenever asked.

Nisha didn’t only put me in the best position to succeed with my applications. She taught me how to truly sell myself, a skill that will benefit me even beyond business school. If there’s one thing you should do to improve your chances of getting into the school of your dreams, hire Nisha Trivedi.

She’s the best!

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 have it back by the next morning with detailed edits, questions to clarify, and suggestions. She is always available to speak on the phone and is very responsive via email and phone. In addition, Nisha is extremely easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable to ask questions. She really took the time to get to know me and my goals to ensure understand where I came from and used that knowledge to help me shape my personal statements. Pepperdine was my 1st choice and I was accepted into both programs I applied. Without Nisha’s help and guidance I wouldn’t be where I am now. I am very thankful for Nisha and I highly recommend her!! She set me up for success and now I’m attending my dream school! Thank you Nisha!!

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 Nisha given the time and effort she spent, and the quality of her feedback.

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.

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 have come nearly this far if not for Nisha’s guidance.

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 awarded a scholarship at one of my reaches- where I will be attending. I am confident that this would never have happened without Nisha’s help. She’s also got an incredible wealth of knowledge on MBA programs. Lastly, she’s a friendly person who I enjoyed talking to. All in all an incredible experience. Hire her ASAP!

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.

She also helped with the essays in a few different ways. Before I’d even looked at the application essays, she helped me think through the main topics and themes that would be worth calling out in my essays. I was quite confident in my writing, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of her time focusing on the content, but then she’d help with the final review.

Ultimately, I was really struck by how well she was able to focus on the areas that I knew I needed help with. Rather than running a standardized process, she tailored all of the time to me and exactly what I wanted help with at each point in the process. I honestly felt like all of the time was so well-spent…. and now I have 2 acceptances that I’m really excited about :).

I would highly recommend working with Nisha! She’s very thorough, thoughtful, and enthusiastic. She wasn’t afraid to give critical feedback, but ultimately, she made me feel really confident in my applications. She took a lot of stress and questioning out of the whole process!

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 came it to scheduling for interview prep she was very flexible. I am on the east coast and she is on the west and the time difference did not prove to be an obstacle. Overall she exceeded my expectations, I did get into both of the schools I bought the package for.

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. She was also so enthusiastic about my prospects and truly wanted the best for me. She was honest about my application and helped me gain perspective when needed. Nisha was so clutch in preparing for my interviews – I didn’t think I was as rough as I was, and she was able to help me refine my skills and answers to typical questions. MBAmission has tons of resources to use and she was able to leverage them for me. I can’t thank her enough, especially since I ended up waitlisted (and thankfully accepted) to my top choice and had more work left to do. I was so frustrated and she was really there for me and helped me through it. I am so thankfully for her guidance and working through everything with me. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Nisha!

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 serious about applying to business school. I didn’t realize how badly I needed her help until I started working with her. The monetary price I paid pales in comparison to what she provided. Thank you Nisha!!!

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 committees’ attention. She is a genius at getting word count down without cutting out meaning and creativity. Beyond the written work, Nisha was amazing at making me feel confident in my applications and helped me keep a level head when it was getting down to crunch time. Her calm, collected personality was the perfect compliment to mine as I was often stressed and seriously limited for time.

Nisha was incredibly dedicated to me with time as well. She always made sure to return edits to me no later than the next day, often in the same day. She worked over the holidays with me and even on weekends. It never felt like she was just “doing her job” it truly felt like she was doing anything and everything she could to help me succeed.

Once applications were submitted, Nisha helped me with interview prep, knowing not only the style of the interview but also knowing the exact questions they were going to ask. One killer resume, 10 impactful essays, and several interviews later, I just finished my first year of a full time MBA program at a top 10 program with many thanks to Nisha. I could not have done this without her!

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 within 24 hrs while on the flight to her wedding. Nisha also went above and beyond by pulling on other mbaMission resources to help me. For example, Nisha asked her colleagues for feedback on one of my video essays and shared valuable content on what specific schools look for, which was not something you could find anywhere else.

In summary, Nisha was an essential partner on my journey to business school, someone I could rely on to have my back at a moment’s notice. I can’t recommend her or mbaMission highly enough!

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.

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 ease in the real interviews.

I am happy to note that with Nisha’s guidance, I got into all 4 of the top 25 MBA programs that I applied to. (Booth, Ross, Tepper, and Kelley).

And I am going to Ross! GO BLUE!!

I would highly recommend Nisha to any aspiring MBA candidate.

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!

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.

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!

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 me get in!

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 essays, but one of the biggest benefits of working with her was her ability to view my application overall. For example, I was worried about my not-so-stellar GMAT score, but Nisha helped me think through ways to offset it throughout the application. While brainstorming, drafting, and editing essays was the biggest reason I sought help, Nisha was willing to assist however I needed it. She made herself available for questions on any part of the process: campus visits, meeting with current students / admissions, etc. Having someone to ask the seemingly dumb questions along the way was such a relief. From my free 30 minute consultation all the way through interview preparation, I was thoroughly impressed with Nisha’s enthusiasm and willingness to help however and whenever I needed it. Thanks to Nisha and mbaMission, I got in to my top choice and I could not be more thrilled!
