I had the pleasure of working with Andy from MBA and Beyond, and I’d be remiss to not highlight the role he and the team from MBA and Beyond played my application journey to INSEAD.
From our very first interaction, it was evident that Andy possessed a great deal of expertise and dedication to helping me succeed. Further, MBA and Beyond as a whole seemed to be THE best when it came to INSEAD admits, and I realized soon why that was.
Andy had a profound understanding of the intricacies involved in crafting a compelling application for INSEAD. He patiently and meticulously guided me through each step of the process, offering invaluable insights from his time with INSEAD, and personalized advice tailored to my unique background and aspirations. Most importantly, whenever I felt underconfident or overwhelmed, he instilled confidence in me. His positive reinforcement not only bolstered my self-confidence but also reignited my enthusiasm for the application process, turning moments of apprehension into opportunities for growth and self-reflection.
The wider team at MBA and Beyond was also super helpful and responsive! Kanishka, my application buddy, kept me on track with ALL the stages of the app. Her constant check-ins and positive words kept me sane and helped me navigate what otherwise was an overwhelming barrage of things to tend do.
In hindsight, I think I made the perfect choice by partnering with MBA and Beyond, especially considering INSEAD was the only b-school I was applying to. I am super grateful for their support – they made my journey so much easier and worthwhile! 😊

I started my journey with MBA and Beyond in 2022. Back then, I was intrigued by their reviews, and, quite honestly, their low prices compared to the other consultants. I was first matched with Elena, who was not a good match. When I reached out to the team to give them feedback, they were understanding and quickly matched me with my new consultant, Ibrahim. He is a superstar and suited my needs perfectly. He kept me motivated and on my toes making sure I never miss a deadline. I have a unique background, in which there's a little of everything- sales, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Ibrahim was able to give a new direction to my story to highlight my strengths. The team also helped me prepare for the interview with different consultants giving me feedback on improvements I could make. In the end, I was admitted to my priority school, CBS. I am thankful to the whole team of MBA and Beyond. You guys helped me reach to my closer goals.

MBA&Beyond was spectacular. They took the time to really learn my story to be able to properly develop my profile and strategy. They made it a point to be available at short notice to help refine/finesse my essays, answer my questions, and prep for interviews. My consultant had a great, positive attitude that helped keep me motivated throughout the entirety of this daunting process. Of the 3 schools I applied to using MBA&Beyond as a consultant, I was accepted to all 3 - 100% success rate (t15 & t20 schools). I received 50% scholarship at two schools and a 90% scholarship at the third. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I give MBA&Beyond 5/5 stars for their service.
I would highly recommend MBA&Beyond for anyone who is trying to break into an elite MBA program.

MBA and Beyond has a comprehensive nine-step approach that made the whole business school application process much easier for me. Following their steps helped me understand and manage each part of the application without feeling overwhelmed.

What I appreciate most about MBA and Beyond is the support and guidance you get from your consultant. I worked with Ashmita, and having unlimited time with her was a big advantage. She not only helped with the application details but also provided valuable advice on dealing with self-doubt and staying motivated. The time and effort Ashmita spent on each aspect of my application is truly commendable.

I owe a lot to Ashmita and the entire MBA and Beyond team for their role in my successful admission to Cambridge Judge Business School.

I am a part of the notorious ORM (Indian Engineer) and had a sub 740 gmat score. r/MBA would have me believe that it is all over and perhaps no top 15 school would have anything to do with my application. When I was considering MBA and Beyond, I was impressed by their track record of getting other ORM students with sub 740 gmat scores into top schools. As soon as I started working with them and I was assigned my consultant Tiger, I realized how good of a job he did to contextualize my score within a larger narrative. It gave me some confidence to apply to schools, which obviously Reddit would have me believe that I had no chance of. Having someone to pick my brains about my essays and trying to find out those unique differentiating factors which could help me shine in the admissions process was priceless. Working with Tiger was an absolute pleasure. He was a great mentor, sounding board and guide throughout the application process. I can say with absolutely no doubt that the depth my essays got after going through the whole process with Tiger, was significantly more than it would have been otherwise. He was also a great resource when it came to tips on networking, attending school events, and trying to engage with the schools in creative ways. My entire process with MBA and Beyond, from the resume edits, to the help in school selection process to the essay writing has been exemplary, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to everyone. (Also, don't take Reddit too seriously )

My experience with MBA&Beyond has been amazing. I got interview invite from 3 out of the 5 schools that I applied to. The best thing about MBAB is the unlimited time with consultants. This gave me a liberty to experiment with the essay stories as I've more time to make errors and get them corrected. Also with the frequent calls with the consultant I had to be consistent with the applications process. This eventually lead me to apply in R1 for all my target schools.
The whole 7-step process is beautifully designed. During content gathering, I explored my own profile and wrote stories that I never thought would reflect so many of my versatile traits.
I enjoyed the whole process of writing essays, preparing for the interviews and celebrating the small wins with the MBAB team.
I would definitely recommend MBAB as an admissions consultant.

I had the pleasure of working with Shantanu from MBA and Beyond, and I can confidently say that his guidance played a pivotal role in securing my admission to INSEAD. I reached out to MBA and Beyond in June 2021 through a friend's recommendation, and I cannot thank my stars enough that I got to work with such amazing people at MBA&B. From the very first profile evaluation call, the team showed genuine interest and confidence in my profile. Having heard so much about Shantanu I requested the team to assign him as my consultant. And thus, my journey started with the most amazing Shantanu Sharma. From the initial consultation to the final application submission to interview preparation, Shantanu demonstrated unparalleled expertise, dedication, and a genuine commitment to my success.

One of the best qualities of Shantanu is his highly personalized approach to every application. He not only spent great efforts in understanding my unique background, career goals, and aspirations but also went above and beyond to unravel my strengths and achievements, helping me articulate them effectively in my application essays and interviews. I vividly recall crafting a minimum of 10 drafts for each INSEAD essay, a testament to Shantanu's commitment to bringing out the best version of my narrative. His refusal to move on to the next essay until completely satisfied underscored his dedication.

During my interview preparation stage, Shantanu left no stones unturned in preparing me for the interviews and Mock exercises. I distinctly remember a moment of panic during my preparation stage when Shantanu, despite being on vacation, generously dedicated two hours to me, offering invaluable guidance and calming reassurance. His role transcended that of a consultant; Shantanu became a steadfast friend and guide throughout the entire process.

Furthermore, Shantanu's support extended beyond the application itself. He offered valuable insights into the culture and values of INSEAD, enabling me to align my application with the school's ethos. This holistic approach not only enhanced my chances of admission but also contributed to my overall readiness for the INSEAD experience. On receiving INSEAD’s acceptance call, Shantanu was the first person I contacted to share the joyful news. His significance in my MBA journey and the profound impact he has created in my life is truly immeasurable.

In summary, my experience with Shantanu was transformative. His personalized guidance, unparalleled dedication, and genuine support were instrumental in navigating the competitive admissions journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Shantanu and the MBA and Beyond team to anyone seeking an exceptional and personalized MBA admissions consulting experience.
