What do I need to do to start?...is what you're probably wondering. Our expert kicks off the process with a conversation. Talk over your career and goals, your application strengths and weaknesses, and the schools that might make a good fit for you. Discuss what your next steps will be in the admissions process, and figure out your best strategy.
Highlight your career achievements and leadership. Send your most recent resume to our expert to be tailored for the admissions committee. We will work with you to showcase your business strengths and explain your career progression, all on one page. (Yes, we have extensive experience working with MBA applicants coming from non-business backgrounds.)
Stand-out MBA essays take planning, thought, and several drafts. Submit what you consider to be your final essay drafts (not a rough cut) at least two weeks before the application deadline. Our expert will provide you with detailed comments and straightforward feedback for improvements, and edit your final product. Don't get stuck! You may ask for brainstorming time or input at any step of the process.
Essays evolve, and we want you to do your best work. You may submit up to three revisions on essays per school.
Make sure that you get strong recommendations that bolster your application. Our expert will advise you on how to work with your recommenders. And if a recommender is not sure if he has helped strengthen your application? Our expert will not say what to write, or how to write it, but she can advise on whether your recommendations will help or harm your application, and she can explain why.
Don't allow short answers to become an obstacle to your acceptance. Plan with our expert ahead of time to review your application entries before you hit "Submit."
Congratulations, you've gotten an invitation to interview for acceptance to business school! Now it's time to practice for the interview with our expert - 2.5 hours per school.
If you get an interview at Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, Wharton, or MIT Sloan, there will be an additional $300 fee to cover the extra hours of prep.
Your work must be your own. Austin GMAT Review provides expert feedback and editing, as well as advice specific to your target business school, but we will not write your essays for you, nor do your thinking for you.
"Elaine is empathetic and invested in your application showing who *you* are to the schools you are applying to. ...When I was writing my essays, Elaine was a guide in discussing what I wanted to highlight and how to make my story shine through back and forth. By the time I hit submit, I was sure my application was presenting the most refined and compelling version of myself to the committee. I received interviews for both schools I applied to and was admitted to a top tier program."

"Elaine really took the coach, teach, and mentor approach with me at every stage of the process. ... She gave me guidance on the schools that I was looking at, and some schools that I didn’t really think of much before, and all the different pros and cons for each school."
