Great Admissions Consultant! Ryan was incredibly helpful, insightful, and a great resource for me to rely on to get through the process. He helped me identify key areas to focus on / strengths of my experience and helped craft essays (and a resume) that put my best foot forward to the admissions committee. His interview prep and mock interview were also very helpful in preparing for any and all questions that would be asked during the interview so I wasn't blind sided at all. I was well rehearsed without sounding robotic. Acceptances: Yale SOM NYU Stern UVA Darden Cornell Johnson (18k / year scholarship) UCLA Anderson (30k / year scholarship)

I had a great experience with Ryan… I had a great experience with Ryan Barba Consulting. I knew that as a male, Indian candidate that I was facing an uphill challenge, especially given that my GMAT was a 700 and I was aiming high, but I felt fully supported going through the admissions process. I used RBC for 4 schools, and got into 2 of them: Kellogg and NYU Stern (dinged at MIT and Booth, although I did get interviewed at Booth). I was a little disappointed I didn't get into Booth, especially since I was so close, but Ryan's team did all they could to prepare me well. And hey - I got into 2 of the 3 schools I got interviewed for! The only other thing I would say is an improvement opportunity is that it took a few days for them to get going. I signed up for their services on a Sunday and we didn't kick off until that Thursday, after they'd had time to review my materials in detail and find a mutually-beneficial time to hold our first call. Since I was under a time crunch, this caused me a bit of stress. But once we got rolling, my consultant was fully responsive: Same-day responses to emails, highly available for calls whenever I needed them (including on weekends) and super-fast edits to my materials. All-in-all, I had a great experience and highly recommend Ryan and his highly-skilled team of experts on MBA admissions.

I worked with Ryan three years ago and… I worked with Ryan three years ago and still look back and say, "Wow, what a great decision!" Not only did Ryan help me get into MIT Sloan with a substantial scholarship (which is where I ended up going), but also earned acceptance to Kellogg, Columbia Business School, and NYU Stern. I was extremely satisfied with Ryan's services and how attentive he was, and am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL for what he's done for me and my career. Ryan and I keep in touch, and he's remained a mentor to me throughout, and now after, business school. He's just simply a good guy, and has your best interest at heart.

I had such a great experience working… I had such a great experience working with Ryan's team. They were so supportive and helpful every step of the way and are really true experts in the field of business school admissions. I love their strategy of making sure that every consultant only takes on a few clients at once to ensure that clients are treated like gold. Phenomenal experience, phenomenal results. I was accepted to both schools they helped me with. Looking forward to attending Booth next year!

A++, Worth EVERY PENNY! Ryan and his Team are truly amazing! The level of knowledge, caring and expertise to help get you into a top rated MBA program is unmatched to others in his field. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and formulates a plan to tackle getting into an MBA school of your dreams. If you want to take the next step in your career, Ryan is hands down the best I've ever found! Thank you Ryan for what you've done for me in my career!
