Rashi Thakur

Coming from a tier-two city and a non-traditional background, I wasn’t sure if top business schools were within reach. Rashi changed that for me.
She took the time to deeply understand my journey, my character, and my goals, and helped me identify schools that truly fit not just in ranking, but in culture and direction. She pushed me to think honestly, write authentically, and never settle for generic narratives.
The outcome, admits to top business schools along with almost full-ride scholarships speaks for itself. But more importantly, she helped me believe that I belonged in these spaces.
I would highly recommend Rashi to anyone looking for thoughtful, personalised, and high-impact guidance.

Unlike traditional corporate roles with clear hierarchies and standardized performance metrics, a family business requires you to operate without boundaries. You wear every hat, which makes it incredibly hard to articulate your specific, individual impact to an Admissions Committee. Because I also had fewer years of experience than the average MBA cohort, I knew my profile was going to be tough to translate.

Rashi’s understanding of this exact dynamic was extraordinary. She didn’t just edit my work; she audited my experience. Instead of letting me describe generic, day-to-day operations, she pushed me to pinpoint the exact moments where I personally drove revenue, influenced critical decisions, and created tangible business value. Suddenly, what I had treated as “just doing my job” was transformed into a highly competitive leadership narrative.

Throughout the process, she was relentlessly honest when an essay lacked depth, yet deeply supportive when I needed a sounding board. Thanks to her strategic clarity, I secured admits to Darden, Emory, and Georgetown, along with a combined $75,000 scholarship. If you are coming from a family enterprise and need a partner who knows exactly how to translate unstructured experience into executive leadership, you need Mentor Mpact.

I met Rashi at a time when I was feeling dejected after my waitlisted application to CBS didn’t convert. She not only motivated me but also worked closely with me to reflect on areas for improvement. With her guidance, I was able to re-craft and polish my application, especially by articulating my goals more clearly – which ultimately led to a successful admit.

I had spoken to Rashi last year when I was researching MBA consultants. I found her to be extremely supportive and she was probably the only one who was not dismissive of my ambitions.

She understood my non traditional academic background and how it fit into why I wanted to do an MBA.

Despite my low test score, Rashi never let me get demotivated in the process and her positive attitude kept me going. For some schools we decided to leverage my undergrad GPA and work experience and secured test waivers to put my best foot forward.

She fully understands the nitty gritty of each school, for essays and interviews both. She encouraged me to reflect on my experiences and to think in the STAR framework for interviews.

Together, Rashi and I crafted a strategy to apply to a pool of well curated schools such that we maximise acceptances. She pushed me to apply to schools that I never thought would even interview me. One such dream school of mine was Darden.

Not only did we craft compelling stories for Darden, it was my first big interview invite and finally the school where I will be starting this month.

Along with Darden, I got interview invites from great schools like Tuck, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, ISB. In stark contrast to last year, when I applied on my own, this year I received 6 interview invites out of the 8 schools I applied to.

I don’t think other consultants would have even taken me on; I didn’t have a super high test score, or brand names for work ex on my resume, but Rashi believed in my potential and helped me get admitted to one of the best b-schools out there.

Rashi is diligent and meticulous in her work. She goes out of her way to help her clients. I had a great experience working with her in the past. I wish her all the luck for the future.

What stood out to me was how deeply she understood not just my profile, but also how the admissions committees would view it. Her strategic clarity gave me the edge I needed—and I couldn’t have asked for better guidance on my journey to ISB.

MBA applications are overwhelming, especially when juggling a demanding job in investment banking. Finding the right consultant felt like an added challenge, but I randomly came across MentorMpact and decided to give them a call.

Right from the first conversation, I had a strong inclination to move forward with them for two key reasons:

1. Expertise & Personalization – They clearly knew what they were talking about. I received valuable insights from the get-go and felt they were actually paying attention, offering tailored advice rather than generic fluff. A huge selling point was Rashi and her team’s firsthand experience in investment banking, which made their guidance highly relevant.

2. Genuine & Trustworthy Approach – Most consultants felt transactional, but they stood out as honest, sincere people who genuinely wanted to help. I never got the sense they were just after my money, which made a big difference.

They aren’t cheap, but the quality they provide justifies the investment. I secured multiple T15 acceptances, one with a $100K scholarship, despite applying with a GMAT waiver — results that speak for themselves.

Choosing the right consultant is a big decision, especially when trusting someone with your hard-earned money. I highly recommend them—you won’t regret it.

This version tightens up the structure, removes redundancy, and makes the key selling points more compelling. Let me know if you want any tweaks!

Rashi was recommended to me due to her track record of success with getting many B-School aspirants their dream acceptances. I worked with her in late 2021 for my applications to part-time programs as a working professional with UC Berkeley Haas as my top choice. Rashi helped me do a thorough review of the full application process, all the needs, how to structure everything required in the weeks leading up to the application deadline. I remember having to revise my essay multiple times and she was always available, any time day or night bouncing ideas off on how best to structure my past accomplishments with future career aspirations to set me up for success. The process itself can feel very uncertain but Rashi helped me gain confidence that I was putting together a great application with thoughtful feedback every step of the way. I got the admit to Haas in the very first round and it would not have happened without Rashi’s kind and insightful guidance!! would 110% recommend working with Rashi to make your B-School dream come true!!!

Rashi came highly recommended from a close friend. While looking for admission consultants, I wanted someone who could give me personal attention, understand my non-traditional profile and be with me every step of the way. I am glad to say that Rashi did all of the above and more. I come from a highly technical background but Rashi made sure to understand my journey and highlight my unique strengths. She was confident in my choice of schools which helped me narrow down my options quickly. She was always ready with reassuring words when I doubted myself. Even when we were close to the deadlines, Rashi was always a call/message away for last minute doubts and questions, of which I had many. She was as invested in my application process as I was. I got interview invites from all the schools I applied to with Rashi. Interview preparation calls with her were very helpful – she made herself available for mock interviews even while she was traveling. All in all, a very positive experience. I am glad I stuck to my gut instinct at the beginning of the application process and chose to work with Mentor Mpact.

If you’re aiming for an MBA, Rashi is the ideal guide. Her expertise in the admissions process and her familiarity with universities worldwide are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Rashi to anyone seeking advice during this demanding career stage.

For me, it was her recommendations of which schools I should target, I am proud to say that I was interviewed by multiple M7 (including HBS) schools and admitted as well.

I collaborated with Rashi for my MBA applications. Her approach to the entire process of MBA applications less daunting and a lot more manageable. I truly admired her insights throughout the program and the constant reminder to stay authentic during the applications. Her guidance helped me secure an admit at INSEAD with a 15000 euros scholarship.

Rashi’s approach is the perfect blend of optimism and pragmatism, setting her apart from other consultants. Unlike many, she didn’t dismiss my candidacy based on my GMAT score. Instead, she inspired me to explore various opportunities, encouraging me to apply to schools where I thought I had no shot – including my dream institution with €30,000 scholarship!

Rashi was instrumental in identifying the strengths of my application. She guided me in developing detailed and well-structured essays. I especially valued her process, which emphasized my journey to ensure an authentic and effective narrative. This approach significantly enhanced my ability to articulate my story, vital for presenting a compelling personal statement.

Having Rashi as my sole point of contact throughout the process ensured seamless communication and consistent alignment on strategy, covering everything from profile evaluation to resume crafting and interview preparation, complete with mock sessions.
