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 is an admissions expert! Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable of the admissions process. I enjoyed working with him on my applications and found his guidance to be paramount to my success. Ryan cares deeply about his clients and works extremely hard to help them accomplish their educational goals (as he did with me). His passion and belief in me gave me the extra push to work harder under his guidance. I now hold an MBA from a Top-25 B-school and gained an offer from a prestigious consulting firm. Without Ryan, I would still be working a 9-5 job instead of passionately pursuing my long-term career goals and aspirations. Thanks again, 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!

Ryan was an incredible support every step of the way! After attending Ryan's webinar, I realized how key his guidance would be for undergoing the MBA application process. I got into my top school - CORNELL !! - because of his consistent direction and feedback throughout the process. He works with you and is there for you each step of the way. From general advice, to essay help, to scholarship guidance, and so much more...I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for direction that will play an integral role in getting you to where you want to go! He made himself available when I needed support, and his knowledge around this space is well known. Ryan will help you find ways to stand out among other applicants and that's the key!

Great experience AND results! My experience with Ryan was nothing short of life-changing. Not only did he help me craft successful applications - I was accepted to HBS, Kellogg, and Haas - but he helped me gain clarity on where I am going with my life AND how to structure an essay and argument with passion and a clear structure. He not only got me into business school, in other words; he made a better write and give me a clearer direction on where I'm headed. His coaching and mentorship were absolutely invaluable. I'm sad that the process of working with him is over; I really enjoyed working with and conversing with him! His instructions are clear, specific, and motivating. And I couldn't be happier with my results, especially considering that my GMAT was below the average for the schools I was accepted to. Fantastic in every way!
