Don’t just take our word for it, read what our previous clients have to say about working with Inside MBA Admissions:

“Inside MBA Admissions was instrumental in making my MBA application experience successful and manageable.  I was admitted to 3 (and waitlisted at one) of the top MBA programs in the nation, and I will be attending Columbia Business School in the Fall.  My Inside MBA Admissions Consultant was extremely knowledgeable of the application process, school specific-nuances and knew how to position my application components in the most advantageous way possible, given the challenging year for applying to MBA programs. Jana did not just give me the standard package of what I signed up for, but got to know me on a personal level, and went above and beyond in her time dedicated to ensure my MBA experience started off on a successful note.”

I would highly recommend Inside MBA Admissions. I was admitted to two of the three schools I applied to - including my top two choices. They didn't hold back on constructive feedback which was exactly what I needed. They helped me through the entire process from resume, to essays, to mock interviews, while still retaining and allowing my personal qualities to come through.  Responses and feedback came very quickly, even over the weekends.  Many thanks to Kim and Jana for helping me realize a personal and professional goal of mine!

I cannot thank Jana and her team enough for helping me navigate the crazy and unpredictable world of MBA Admissions!  I was not going to use a consultant during the process, but reached out after meeting Jana at a presentation.  I realized that in a short hour, she had made several points about the whole process that I had not considered or uncovered through my own research.  Throughout the past year, Jana and her team have been there for all my questions.  At the end of the day, I was accepted to my top choice, Harvard Business School, and will be starting there in the fall.  Thanks again for all your help in this achievement!

I was accepted to Kellogg! I could not have done it without all the talent and hard work that came from Inside MBA Admissions. You two were a great source of knowledge and energy and I truly appreciate your service. After working with you, I stepped back and looked at my resume and essays and I could not believe how great it all came out! And now I'm headed off to Kellogg.

I was overwhelmed at the MBA application process before I decided to hire Inside MBA Admissions.  They have a structured method that helped me to focus on telling my story and they were also able to recognize strengths in my background that I hadn't even considered.  The mock interviews were extremely helpful.  I was able to walk into my interview with confidence and I knew exactly what to highlight to show myself in the best light.  I didn't know what to write about in my essays.  Jana spent time just talking and brainstorming with me on the phone to help me.  Her experience as an admissions offer makes her an expert on what schools are looking for in applicants.  Everyone that I worked with was professional and seemed to genuinely care about my application.  Honestly without Inside MBA Admissions I know that I would not have gotten into the school that I was accepted to.  The money spent is well worth it.  I ended up with acceptance to two top schools with a full scholarship to one of them.

- Ann Arbor, MI

I hesitated before engaging an admissions consultant. I considered myself a qualified applicant, had several friends who entered top programs, and believed I had the know-how to put my best foot forward when crafting applications. In the end, however, I determined that entrance to a top MBA program was simply too important for me to leave any room for chance – I had to put my best foot forward when crafting applications, and that’s where Inside MBA Admissions came into play. Jana provided candid feedback around the areas of my personal and professional life which I planned to highlight in my application and challenged me to improve essays which she believed did not do my qualifications justice. Her help consistently came in a timely, accommodating, and professional manner. I can’t imagine having gone through the admissions process without her help, and strongly recommend her services to anyone interested in ensuring their application is the very best that it can be.

After working with Inside MBA Admissions for MBA applications, I now tell all my colleagues to use them when they apply for school.  They helped me take what I thought was the typical profile for an MBA applicant and turn it into a compelling story.  I was genuinely proud of every single aspect of my application from my essays to interviews.  I am so excited to be attending my dream school and I could not have done it without the help of Laura and Jana.  Thank you Inside MBA Admissions!

“The results speak for themselves - I was accepted into 5 of the 6 schools I applied to and waitlisted at the other. Those schools included the top three rated programs according to US News and World Report. Inside MBA Admissions was instrumental in helping me construct a comprehensive, powerful, and attention-grabbing application. I was provided with clear and consistent advice and insights as opposed to the “noise” of conflicting advice that I received when I asked colleagues of mine who had applied to business school in the past. Inside MBA Admissions did not do my work for me, but instead challenged me and worked with me every step of the way to make sure that I put my absolute best foot forward when applying to elite MBA programs. As a result my applications were a true reflection of me and I had piece of mind when I clicked submit that I was submitting the best possible applications.”

“I just want to let you know that how great of an experience I had with you during my MBA application. Your guidance was critical to help me formulate a strong and balanced application. As a result of your hard work, I was accepted by the Ross School of Business soon after I submitted my application. Again thank you so much and I appreciate all your help which made my dream come true.”

“I enjoyed working with Inside MBA Admissions. My consultant not only helped me get admitted to Booth, but also helped me think about my career, my goals, and how to achieve them, which I think is more important. Another thing that impressed me was her commitment. Needless to say, my consultant was professional, quick to point, patient, encouraging, on time, etc. Inside MBA Admissions is a very capable company that you can trust. I will be sure to keep in contact with Inside MBA Admissions even after attending business school. Thanks Jana and thanks Inside MBA Admissions.”

“An absolutely fantastic service...Inside MBA Admissions ensures that you receive a very personal experience from start to finish. My consultant was extremely flexible and even more thorough, offering a host of approaches to tackle the process while covering each aspect of the application. The service really extends beyond just the application and implements strategies that cover some of the ‘softer’ areas of self-branding.”

- Chicago, IL

“I really liked working with Inside MBA Admissions, Jana is a great professional. She is very outspoken, honest and her responses were very quick, so we could prepare for 5 good applications in a short time. My applications would not have been as strong if I hadn’t worked with her. She helped me much more than tips on my essays – she also mentored me for my strategy.”

- Istanbul, Turkey

“Inside MBA Admissions used a very systematic and efficient approach in helping me with my applications. My consultant was extremely detailed and thorough in every step of the way and made the application much easier for me. I have recommended Inside MBA Admissions to my friends who are applying to MBA school and I will continue to do so in the future.”

- Los Angeles, CA

“Early in my business school process, I was not considering working with an admissions consultant as I felt very prepared and confident in my writing and interviewing skills. I reached out to Inside MBA Admissions out of curiosity and was very glad I did. Jana and the Inside MBA Admissions team were terrific. I received open and honest feedback on my strengths and weakness and contracted targeted help only in the areas required. End result, I have been admitted to a top business school during one of the most competitive years with a significant financial scholarship. I would highly recommend the service for anyone looking to get real expert advice in the complex world of school admissions.”

- New York, NY

“I wanted to share my appreciation for your great help. Your help on the essay, resume, interview, communication with GSB, etc played a very important role in my successful application. More importantly, I learned a lot from you - your professionalism and right to the point. Even my husband said that he would consider pursuing an MBA after talking with you, because working with MBA like you is pleasant. Please accept my sincere appreciation from the heart.”

- Chicago, IL

“With English as second language and a low GMAT score, I never thought that I would be able to get into top 15 business school. It was you – Jana – who made this happen. Thank you for talking with me about my experiences (academic, personal, and professional) and helping me pull out the shining aspects – many of which I did not even realize! Because you forced me to reevaluate myself, I was able to find the most differentiating aspects of my profile. These sessions, combined with your impressive knowledge about the schools helped me to identify my best fit schools and where I could be most competitive. During the application process, I felt that I was working and talking directly with an admissions officer since you knew the admissions process and what the various schools are looking for. I felt extremely lucky to have this kind of “insider” assistance. More importantly, I was really touched by your persistency and patience! Thank you for answering every one of my questions with such patience and thoroughness. And, thank you for being there for me when times got stressful. When I received my acceptance notification and scholarship from Fuqua, I couldn’t believe it! At that moment, you were the first person that came to my mind. I want to tell you: without you, I would never have dreamed of getting into such a great school. Not only did you make my dream come true, but you also helped me to evaluate myself and my experiences – making me a more confident person! Thank you Jana and thank you Inside MBA Admissions!”

"I highly recommend Inside MBA Admissions for MBA application preparations. I’ve greatly benefited from their concise yet detailed guidance to prepare my application package. Counseling sessions with my consultant helped me identify the most relevant aspect/incidence of my life and work experiences to the essay questions, and provided constructive critiques that allowed me to deliver consistent and compelling stories to demonstrate my qualifications to the Admissions Office. I have no doubt that the counseling I received helped clear out the ‘grey zones’ of my application and make me a more competitive candidate.”
