Stephanie Panossian With Poonam’s support, got into my dream school UCLA Anderson despite a 610 GMAT score I had the pleasure to work with Poonam for a period of 2 years. First, in 2021, when I was applying for the MBA program at McGill and Concordia, the two best business schools in Canada. Second, in 2022, when I applied to several MBA programs in California (UC Los Angeles [UCLA], UC San Diego [UCSD], and UC Irvine). Getting accepted to these top schools was a challenge for me as my GMAT score was lower than the average score requirement for all schools (My GMAT Score was 610/800). Given the situation, my only chance to succeed was to ensure all other aspects of my application were world-class. To achieve that, I decided to seek the support of an MBA consultant. As I was looking for a consultant online, I came across Poonam’s profile, and given the positive feedback online about her, I took a chance and partnered with her on this journey. Now, I can easily say that I was LUCKY to have come across her profile! I worked with Poonam in 2021 on the MBA application at McGill, Canada and received my letter of admission from McGill! I received admission offer from both - McGill and Concordia , but my student visa to Canada was rejected, so I shifted my focus to business schools in the USA. In 2022, I worked with Poonam on the applications of several schools based in California (mentioned above), among which was UCLA - the school of my dreams! When I first considered UCLA, I was almost convinced I would never be accepted as my GMAT was way below the school average (the school GMAT average is 710, and my GMAT score was 610). I believed I had no chance of being accepted. Despite that, Poonam inspired me to look at the strength of my application on a holistic level and motivated me enough e to take a chance with UCLA. For 3 weeks, I worked with her on polishing my essay story and CV. Her guidance helped me highlight my strengths and organize my essays in a structured and simple, yet sophisticated manner. She also suggested that I write an optional essay clarifying the reason behind my low GMAT score. My reason was that I have test anxiety. With Poonam’s support, I demonstrated my quantitative skills by highlighting the quantitative nature of my work and my involvement in analytically driven projects. After having gone through 3-4 rounds of feedback, I was able to craft an excellent application. And guess what! I GOT INTO UCLA WITH A 610 GMAT SCORE!! What I thought was impossible came true with Poonam’s support! I am forever grateful to her. (I also received admission offers from UCSD and UC Irvine.) I advise every student facing similar challenges to work with Poonam. Without her I would have never made it to UCLA! Her passion and urge to help students get to their dream school is what makes her exceptional. She will surely help you reach your goals despite the odds! I had the pleasure to work with Poonam for a period of 2 years. First, in 2021, when I was applying for the MBA program at McGill and Concordia, the two best business schools in Canada. Second, in 2022, when......   Read more Stephanie Panossian- 2022 applicant- accepted into UCSD, UC Irvine, and UCLA Anderson Close --> Read GMAT CLUB Verified Testimonials   -->

Deepu Accepted into Alberta and Schulich full-time MBA Program. Thanks, Poonam I was looking for a consultant of Indian origin because I wanted someone who could relate to the Indian education system and help me understand the nitty-gritty of the international MBA application process, considering my Indian education background. The second reason was that Poonam holds a Ph.D. in English with three decades of soundtrack experience with outstanding outcomes. GMAT Club helped differentiate between Indian consultants and made me select MER over other consultancy firms. Another selling point was that she did not have any other junior consultants editing the application on her behalf. The entire process was handled by one single person, which I liked about MER. I must appreciate her candid nature, which helped me finalize my decision on selecting MER for my B-school application journey. Her strategy guides helped me map out the application process and what steps need to be taken to execute a robust application. Poonam guided me to appear for a GRE retake and apply with a better version of me which I completely agree upon. The counseling session was an eye-opener where I learned different possibilities for improvement. Poonam was very particular about the questions, so she directed me to focus on what precisely the admissions committee is looking for in the essays, resumes, and LORs. My takeaway from the counseling session helped me develop appropriate stories with a lot of introspection and brainstorming. Poonam is an excellent storyteller who possesses a good sense of how to showcase a story to convey appropriate meaning, answering the question asked. Poonam was relentless because she wanted to ensure the story was sound and to the point. Hence, there were instances when I had to make four drafts to develop fine-tuned stories that made my profile strong. In addition, Poonam helped me understand the concept of the S.T.A.R. format, which made my life a lot easier in organizing the essays to make a good sense of the stories. I could see the flow getting better and better in each edit that I received from Poonam. Her language skills and storytelling attitude helped me get my stories properly critiqued to get a better version of them. Poonam utilized her storytelling approach and constantly motivated me to use my story, highlighting my strengths and advising me to speak quality content in the essays instead of focusing more on quantity. Poonam was extraordinarily cautious about grammatical mistakes or any sentence structure failure. Also, she used to comment on the exact errors in the sentence, commenting on what best could be done to improvise the sentence. Her role in trimming the essays was tremendous, as she made the essays so succinct (following the strict word limit requirements) without any loss of meaning and what I intended to showcase to the admissions committee. I already had my resume ready, which I thought was a perfect one. However, when I saw the comments from Poonam on different aspects, it was new to me. For example, I learned how we need to display our extracurricular hobbies in the resume. Instead of making a laundry list, we need to be more specific about our hobbies. Poonam responded to my questions within 24 hours. During the three long zoom sessions, I understood that she is dedicated and diligent in ensuring that all my queries were answered correctly and did provide valuable advice. If she was unable to respond within 24 hours, she would notify the reason why the delay occurred and still try to respond as earliest as she could. I did one mock interview session. The tips on improving my performance in the interview were precious. I figured out which area I need to focus more on, the behavioral questions where I need to use the S.T.A.R. format to get solid answers. Poonam's verbal and written feedback on my interview helped me develop a solution to the mistakes committed. The suggestions I received for the LOR were also commendable as they provided my recommender to come up with impactful stories that gel with my short-term career objectives. My overall experience with MER was excellent. Yes, I would definitely recommend MER services to prospective applicants. Click  here for Deepu's testimonial on LinkedIn.

Stephanie Received an offer of admission from McGill & Concordia with a 610 GMAT!! Thanks to MER! I signed up for MER services as I was looking for support on my MBA application for Mcgill and Concordia. After thorough research, I realized MER had supported students with a lower-than-average GMAT score to get into their desired business school. Given my GMAT was lower than average, I decided to go ahead with MER. Also, compared to other editing services, MER charged reasonable prices for its services. The free consultation was helpful as it made me connect with Poonam better. Also, through this session, I understood that Poonam is very serious about her work and has strict guidelines an applicant should follow, something which I admire in mentors. Then the long counseling session helped me understand the real ask behind each essay question and the resume. Poonam answered all my questions and helped me get the bigger picture. Poonam supported me a lot with my stories. On my first session, I thought I had nothing to tell on a personal level, however, the more time I spent on Poonam’s feedback, the more I realized I have a lot to tell. This helped me craft top-notch essays with relevant content. The feedback Poonam shared in her edits helped me organize my story better and draft it in a clear flow. Poonam helped me input diverse synonyms in my essays. Her ability to bring down the word count to the required word count without losing the flow and meaning was amazing. Poonam helped me quickly move from a professional resume format to an academic resume format. She also helped me add an exceptional Extracurriculars section, something which I never thought I had enough stories for. The LOR process was smooth and helped improve the quality of my recommendations. Throughout our engagement, Poonam answered all my queries quickly and clearly. I felt free to ask her the silliest of questions as she managed to create an open culture. Her response time was on point! It helped me not to over-stress and helped me avoid the fear of last-minute delays. Working with Poonam was a great experience. The level of service met my expectations. The challenging process of an MBA application was made smoother and more organized with the support of Poonam. Yes! The content on the MER website describes the actual experience. I am happy to say that I have received an offer of admission from both, Mcgill and Concordia! I really appreciate your support and would like to thank you for the guidance! I will definitely recommend the service to prospective applicants. Click  here for Stephanie's testimonial on LinkedIn.

Cheska Accepted into Hitotsubashi with nomination for Japan govt scholarship, Waseda, NUCB. Thanks Poonam! I availed of MER services because I needed objective feedback and advice on my resume, essays, and letters of recommendation. I believe that well-written, polished, and impactful stories will increase my chances of getting admitted to business school. I also read highly positive reviews on GMATClub, where I learned that the pricing on MER’s service packages is comparatively much lower than the exorbitantly priced services of other consultants. Therefore, I could have all my documents reviewed by a professional without breaking the bank. 1. Free consultation I was impressed with the free consultation. Poonam took the time to review my short profile before the consultation. We discussed my goals, the schools I have chosen, and the timing of application submission, among others. Since it was a free consultation, my signing up for MER services was not yet certain. However, Poonam approached me as if I were already her client, so the free consultation was incredibly informative and helpful. By then, I knew that Poonam was my best choice as a consultant. Immediately after the consultation, I signed up and paid for the 3 schools' basic package. 2. 1- hour counseling session on Zoom Poonam and I scheduled our 1-hour counseling session after I submitted to her the accomplished brainstorming questionnaire and the initial drafts of my resume, goals essay, and leadership essay. It was also the perfect opportunity to understand each other’s working styles and personalities. Through this counseling session, we had a fruitful discussion as we ran through each of my submitted documents. She gave me a lot of useful pointers on how to improve them. I liked her idea of starting the essay writing process with my third school of choice before proceeding to the essays of my second choice and finally, my top choice. She explained that as I slowly get used to writing essays, I could produce the best outputs for my dream business school. Finally, I sought her opinion on my choice of recommenders, and she advised me to explain my decision on it in my optional essays. At first, I only thought about explaining my employment gap in those essays, so without Poonam’s advice, I probably would have had a glaring missing piece of information in my applications. 3. Essays: Content (Understanding your profile and positioning of stories) Poonam’s brainstorming questionnaire helped me draw out stories and ideas that I could use in my essays. She ran through my responses to the questionnaire and gave her comments on them. She also pointed out which of my responses did not sufficiently address the question so that I could choose another topic. The questionnaire served as a pool of ideas for the essays and gave Poonam a deeper understanding of my profile, especially on my personal traits, family background, interests, and memorable experiences. She used the information to give me the most appropriate feedback and advice when reviewing my drafts. For essay topics that were not part of the questionnaire, I wrote two short stories for her and she explained to me which of the two stories would be the better choice for my essay. Lastly, Poonam made me realize that the best way to address the essay prompt is to break it down into parts and answer each of those components before combining all of them to make one cohesive essay. 4. Structure/ organization: (Organizing details to make the story flow better) Poonam taught me how to best present my ideas through the sequence or flow of my story. Her most important advice regarding essay structure was about using the STAR method to address behavioral essay questions. This method served as my guide in writing the leadership essay. 5. Editing Skills: (Sentence structure, grammar, punctuation) Poonam is a master in editing. She rephrased some of my awkwardly written or lengthy sentences to make them sound natural without changing my tone or writing style. Word limit was one of the biggest challenges that I encountered in essay writing. I had to remove some parts of my story to comply with it. Poonam, however, revived those parts by shortening other wordy portions of my essay, so we could retain all key details of my story without compromising the word count. Also, she replaced some adjectives with more powerful ones and changed my sentences from passive voice to active voice whenever possible. Poonam handled the editing of my essays with great care and attention. 6. Resumé Review The resume review was immensely useful in crafting a resume that was a lot more impressive than my first draft. Through her brainstorming questionnaire and 1-hour consultation, Poonam identified parts of my career and personal experiences that I failed to include in my resume, such as higher-level responsibilities I undertook at an early career position, volunteer experience, and interests/hobbies. She also suggested that I quantify the results of my career achievements using numbers and percentages so that the reader will understand the impact of my contributions to the company. Lastly, Poonam instructed me to simplify the finance and accounting jargon that I used in my draft. All these changes drastically improved my resume. 7. LOR Review Like her review of my essays and resume, her advice on the LORs was as detailed and thorough. She made her revisions without changing the writing style of my recommenders. She also provided valuable advice on addressing the requirements of the LORs, each of which had a different format, and helped me choose which among my strengths and weaknesses my recommenders could highlight in each LOR. 8. Answering queries Poonam answered my questions with detailed responses in a timely manner. One of her most informative answers is related to my concern about the recommendation letters. I wanted to know how one of my recommenders, who is my mentor at a language institute, could comment on my leadership skills. She gave me an in-depth explanation including examples of how leadership skills can be demonstrated other than by managing people and teams. All the advice she provided me during the entire process has been incredibly insightful. 9. Turnarounds (Response time) Poonam was true to her word. She returned my drafts with her edits within her stated turnaround time of 24-48 hours. Most of the time, she does it within 24 hours, so our progress moved at a reasonable pace. In fact, we finished two weeks ahead of our agreed deadline. Poonam exceeded all my expectations. Through her thorough review and guidance, the final products were far more effective, straightforward, crisp, and concise than the original drafts. I am beyond satisfied with how everything turned out to be. Initially, writing the essays was an overwhelming and stressful task for me, but with her assistance, it gradually became an enjoyable activity. It was also a learning process for me. Beyond her impressive storytelling and editing skills, Poonam is genuinely interested in seeing her clients succeed, so she did not treat our partnership simply as a consultant-client relationship. Her assistance to me over the past few months felt more personal. Not only did she provide constructive feedback and points for improvement on all my outputs, but she also praised my work whenever I did a good job. I found that very inspiring and motivating. I am deeply grateful for her sincerity and thoughtfulness. Because I was applying to Japanese business schools, I feared that consultants will not take my applications seriously or will not prioritize them as much as they do for applications to Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD, or any other big-name school. When Poonam showed support for my goal of studying and working in Japan during the free consultation, that fear was put to rest. She also explained that the best business school is the one that provides a program that is most closely aligned with one’s career goals, so chasing after the top-ranking business schools as most people do may not be always appropriate. If I were given the chance, I would gladly work with Poonam again. That said, I highly recommend MER to prospective applicants. I have received admission offers from my dream school, Hitotsubashi ICS, with a nomination for the prestigious government scholarship, Waseda, and NUCB. Thank you very much for your kindness, patience, and dedication! I availed of MER services because I needed objective feedback and advice on my resume, essays, and letters of recommendation. I believe that well-written, polished, and impactful stories will increase my chances of getting admitted to business school. I also......   Read more Cheska, 2021 applicant, accepted into Waseda, NUCB, and Hitotsubashi ICS with a nomination for the prestigious government scholarship!!!!

Mahesh Working with Poonam was the game changer I signed up for MER to help me put my best foot forward in the application race. In our initial catch-up, we decided on the college applications we would team up for and a timeline of two weeks for each college process. I loved that she made me fill out a questionnaire, in the beginning, to develop a complete understanding of my personal and professional background and suggest ideas for my stories. Resume building: While working on my resume, she ensured that I quantified each pointer to stress the impact of my contribution. Through multiple iterations and sense checks, we were able to draft a very powerful and satisfying resume. Storyboarding and essay writing: I set up a 45 minutes call to brainstorm ideas for the various essays we would work on. This was really instrumental in structuring my thoughts and preparing the first draft. Poonam was extremely quick (24-48 hours) to respond to my queries and provide feedback for each draft I had prepared. Apart from editing the essays, she also added comments/questions to aid me in my thought process for the following draft. We collaborated very well and met the timelines for every college. I am grateful to Poonam for this wonderful learning experience. Her contribution to my application process was definitely the most pivotal piece in the puzzle. She is a rockstar, and I recommend her to anyone hoping to enjoy the process of drafting a stellar application to achieve admission to the target schools and fulfill the MBA dream.

Praveen Accepted into ISB and IE. Thanks, Poonam I came across myessayreview on the GMAT club. At that point, I had met a few other consultants but I was not satisfied. I had booked a free consulting session with Poonam. A long initial conversation with her was a morale booster for me and soon, I signed up for the basic school package. I started working with her on my resume, which we changed to include certain things and remove unnecessary things to make a one-page resume, fine-tuning it to my satisfaction. Later on, we had two one-hour Zoom sessions meets to discuss the stories where we shortlisted nearly ten stories from my life. We further brainstormed on the stories to be used for different essays. She suggested writing an optional essay to explain my education gap and employment gap She reviewed the drafts multiple times until they were perfectly carved. Her response time was often within 24 hrs. She even suggested a framework for my interview preparation. Overall, she helped me step by step throughout the application process. First, Poonam is a very good human being. I missed out on many deadlines because of personal issues and the GMAT. She understood my issues but at the same time warned me about the delays and consequences, which I faced. Second, she is a perfectionist and keeps refining until the outcome is fine. Finally, she is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her services! I came across myessayreview on the GMAT club.

Pardeep Singh Admitted to Chicago Booth. Thank you, Ms. Poonam I signed up for MER services to help me craft compelling essays for admission to a top MBA program. I wanted to make sure that my essay is persuasive and was looking to find someone who can help me gather my thoughts and create a perfect story. I had an initial 1-hour Zoom session with Ms. Tandon. I believe this is a crucial step in the process because this gives her a chance to get to know you on a personal level. I am happy with this Zoom session because it helped me think and brainstorm ideas which are very important when it comes to answering some of the questions in the essay. Without this service, it would be very hard to compile all the important details required to write the essays. The content of the story was one of the most important things for the essays in my opinion. I wanted to make sure I was using the best stories to answer the questions, and Ms. Tandon helped tremendously with this. She knew exactly what I wanted to express in my stories and she is great at helping you brainstorm ideas. All my stories were conveyed in the manner that I was looking for and were very effective. She is a fantastic storyteller and helps you to focus on your strong points. She helped me make my story unique and personal. The stories in my essays were all over the place. Ms. Tandon knows the right structure and format to make the story as simple and as effective to the reader. Story organization was one of my main concerns but with her years of experience, she helped me organize the stories for a better flow. One of my main concerns was that my sentence structure would be a problem. I wanted the essays to be free from any grammatical mistakes. With the help of Ms. Tandon, all these issues were resolved. She could grasp what I wanted to convey and helped me write it in a concise manner. I was very happy with the results. The essays came out perfect with her expertise. Ms. Tandon was available to answer my questions through email at any time. The turnaround was very quick. This is a mutual agreement between both parties to hand in the required work within the specified time frame. The faster you deliver the work the faster you will receive updated feedback on your work. Upon receiving an interview invite I reached out to Ms. Tandon once again to help me with the interview prep. I have never had a virtual interview before so I was very worried about how to prepare for this. The mock interview was a crucial step in this process because I could learn what I had to improve on and what my strengths were. She provided excellent detailed feedback and provided tips for the day of the interview. She assured me that I would do great and motivated me to stay confident. I was satisfied with this service and the interview was a success. I reached out to Ms. Tandon at the very last minute of my MBA prep. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to write the perfect story with very little time but with her experience and guidance, we crafted the best essays possible. This was a great experience for me. She did a great job in expressing my story through the essays and I highly recommend her services to all prospective students. Click  here for Pardeep's testimonial on LinkedIn.

Nisha Accepted into McCombs Full-Time MBA Program with decent scholarship. Thanks, Poonam Prior to applying for an MBA, I had read great reviews about Poonam. I saw that she was able to help many students get into their dream schools who didn’t have the highest GPA or GRE score (similar to me) which is what made me very hopeful. I knew I wanted a consultant who could bring out the best in my profile, so I signed up for MER services. The Zoom session during the beginning of this process was very helpful. Poonam really took her time getting to know me – my background, my hobbies, my family, and my work experience. I liked that she made me fill out a questionnaire beforehand to learn about me and suggest ideas for my stories. She got to know me on a personal level, and it made our teamwork even stronger. The resume-building session was great. I am glad that Poonam gave me feedback on including percentages to quantify my accomplishments because now my resume reads much better and has a stronger impact. I am also glad that she told me to include my college experiences (extracurriculars + volunteers). Had I not had her as my consultant, I would have probably failed to include this and my resume would have lacked lots of vital information. Poonam took the time to ask follow-up questions to really understand my stories. For one of the essays regarding leadership, I was challenged to think/write about the process + obstacles. Poonam took all my information and polished the essays while still retaining the key elements of the story within the word count. In one of the introductory essays, she also suggested I include more details about my dance passion which I had mistakenly left out. She organized all the details and rearranged my paragraphs to make the essay flow and read better. The hardest piece of this progress was sticking to the word count, but Poonam reworded my sentences so effortlessly while still retaining the entire story. She did a fantastic job with this. Poonam always replied very promptly within 24-48 hours. Not only did she edit essays, but she also added in comments/questions which made the back-and-forth process easier. This overall experience with Poonam was fabulous. Not only did she take the time to polish my essays and bring out the best in me, but she also took the time to understand me and know me. Throughout this process, I didn’t just see her as my consultant but more so as a partner. She was very reliable and there with me every step in the process. I worked with her on two schools - Kellogg and McCombs. I interviewed with Kellogg and got accepted into McCombs with a partial scholarship! I am very happy with her services and I would definitely recommend her to any prospective applicants in the future! Thank you for all your help, Poonam!

Shiva Accepted into Chicago Booth MBA program. Can't thank you enough, Poonam! I had worked with Poonam four years back, but I could not complete the application due to a family medical emergency. This year, when I again decided to pursue an MBA, I reached out to her. Honesty, the first thing I wished was that Poonam should have the bandwidth to work with me. Luckily, she did. I admire Poonam for her commitment during the review process, and I feel comfortable working with her. I like that she is very professional and always expects the best out of the applicant in drafting essays and resume, and until that happens, she will not let that the applicant go. The counseling sessions were helpful as I was able to understand her expectations regarding the essay structure and the flow of ideas. I also appreciate and thank her for flexibility in scheduling another call, which was not part of our initial agreement. One of the best things about her service is that she is candid with her guidance on the essay content. When she did not like the content, she straight away asked me to update with new content that addressed the essay prompt better. While working with her, I was confident that if she were convinced with the essay content, then the admission committee would also like it. Coherent organization of details is another strong component of her service. After working with her, I realized that I should improve a lot on the structure and organization. She is skilled in asking relevant questions to get the right content from you and help you present your story in the best way possible. She always put in efforts to trim the essays to the allowed word limits by making appropriate sentence structure changes. Poonam’s guidance on my résumé was equally valuable. I was impressed with her thought process in getting the best resume. She made sure that I brought out my achievements in the resume in a quantitative manner. She was always patient enough to hear my queries and answer the same. I never had any hesitation in asking any questions about the application, as I was very comfortable working with her. Her response time was also perfect. She reverted within the timeline that is promised on her website (24-48 hours), sometimes even earlier. She went above and beyond my expectations, as listed on the MER website. Given another opportunity, I will be glad to work with her again. I am delighted with the overall service Poonam provided. I am happy to say that I am accepted into my dream school, Chicago Booth. Without Poonam, it would not have been possible. I will be very pleased and happy to refer her to the prospective applicants. I had worked with Poonam four years back, but I could not complete the application due to a family medical emergency. This year, when I again decided to pursue an MBA, I reached out to her.

My Essay Review

My essay review reviews, about myessayreview.

myEssayReview is a review and editing company, rather than a full-service consultation service. They are not focused specifically on MBA programs, but have helped clients get into these programs. Their services are intended mainly for applicants who do not need extra support such as interview or test prep, but require additional help with writing.

myEssayReview offers four primary services, most of which are grouped into package bundles.

• The main service is Essay Review , with up to four edits each for any given essay. Reviews are also available in multiple-school packages, expanding the number of essays that can be reviewed.
• Resume Reviews are available in either 1-3 edits, and are focused on helping applicants truly stand out from the crowd.
• Recommendation Letter Reviews are available in 1-4 edits, and are especially useful when the recommendation writers aren’t as adept at writing as applicants would prefer.
• Finally, Hourly Consultation offers the opportunity to brainstorm ideas, discuss individual strengths, and plan the best way to use the three items listed above.

Essay editing starts at $449 for one essay (2-4 edits) of up to 500 words. Longer essays incur an additional charge of $70-$100, depending on length. The Basic School Package start at $1,499. Resumes and Letters of Recommendation start at $399.

myEssayReview accepts payment from international students via PayPal, using the current exchange rate.

The owner prefers to be contacted through email at [email protected] . This company does not have a contact form or a phone number, but it does have a free consultation request form on their website at www.myessayreview.com .

MBA Program & Grad Year: Southern Utah University MBA 1st Year (Financial Emphasis) Your MBA Application & School Advice: Find a program that you feel like provides the necessary help you will need to be successful. I chose a smaller school to receive my MBA and it has made a huge difference in the personal help that I receive in my classes.

MBA Program & Grad Year: Chicago Booth 2024 Your MBA Application & School Advice: I believe that fit is very important when selecting an MBA program. It allows you to make sure when you are writing that your goals for your MBA education align with what the school program offers. Do not focus too much on your GRE/GMAT scores but focus on the fit that can be expressed in your essays and also during the interview process. Be genuine and things will come through and you will have an excellent chance to get admitted to your top choice.

Rojin Raju – June 3, 2016 :

My essay review helped me enormously with my MBA admission preparation. Being an non native english speaker, I needed extra inputs regarding the quality of my essays. My essay review was extremely helpful in giving me specific inputs regarding where I could make the maximum improvements in in my candidacy. I would recommend theirs services to anyone, especially non native english speakers. Use their 1 free essay review service and see if you like it or not. I believe its great value for money considering how much you might end up spending for your MBA anyways.

MBA Program & Grad Year: 2016 Your MBA Application & School Advice: GMAT, GMAT, GMAT. I couldn't stress enough for the importance of your GMAT out here. This doesnt mean your essays and work experience are not important. But this SCORE is the universal measurement across all candidates and a stellar score can really set you apart. Again, very very important if you belong to one of the over represented Indian/Chinese applicant pool.

Brian Caulfield – June 1, 2016 :

MBA Program & Grad Year: 2016 Your MBA Application & School Advice: Good solid advice
