Admitted to three MBA programs As an international candidate, I had a lot to learn about the business school application process. I was extremely happy that a friend and former coworker recommended me to Ryan! He provided fantastic guidance through the entire application process, always gave great and candid advice, and was very patient with me. He made me feel confident in my candidacy, even when I had some doubts, and was always willing to give me a pep talk when I needed one. He was so patient, and has an amazing strategic mind and so much knowledge about MBA applications. My results were unexpected to me: I got into Kellogg, Haas, and Cornell with a $50,000 per year scholarship, even though my GMAT score was below the average for these schools. I can't wait to move the United States and start business school in the fall! I could not have done it without Ryan, I'm certain!

Ryan was an integral part of my MBA… Ryan was an integral part of my MBA admissions process. His insight as an MBA graduate is a real competitive edge when applying. He cares deeply about his clients and invests his time, energy, and passion to help achieve their goals. With his assistance, I received an acceptance letter to Cornell University. Thank you, Ryan!

Highly Recommend Ryan Barba Consulting! With 6 only weeks to go before the Round 5 Admissions deadline at USC, I decided to work with Ryan (directly, not his team) to help primarily with positioning strategy and resume and essay editing. With a non traditional professional background, lower than average GPA for USC admissions (3.1), no GMAT score to prove my candidacy (requirement waived at USC for 2020 year), and applying so late in the decision cycle, I knew getting in would be a challenge. However, Ryan's knowledge in the MBA admissions process, ability to develop a convincing personal branding strategy, and superior editing skills gave my application "an edge" and I was accepted into the Part Time Program at USC with a scholarship! I also applied to the Full Time Program, and was not accepted (why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5). I preferred to attend the Part Time Program, and was so surprised by the scholarship offer, so it really was a win in the end! I'd also like to mention that Ryan is incredibly smart, kind, and works hard for his clients. I really could not have done this without him, and cannot thank or recommend him enough!

Worth it!! Ryan was incredibly helpful in the MBA application process. Ryan really helped me think through how to structure my essay questions and highlight the strongest parts of my candidacy, and it really paid off - I was accepted to Kellogg with a $100k scholarship! I also received a full ride to McCombs and Ross, and admission to Haas. I couldn't have done it without Ryan's help - thank you!

Accepted to HBS and Booth :) Thanks to Ryan and his team I was accepted to 2 top programs - HBS and Chicago Booth!! I can't possibly recommend them more highly - professional, attentive, and highly-knowledgeable about the top programs and how to appeal to them. They're also expert consultants - they know how to plan ahead, keep you on track, and monitor your progress so that you're staying on top of things. Thanks so much!
