With Mary's consulting I was accepted… With Mary's consulting I was accepted into three of my top four choices. She really knows what works and makes the process simpler than I thought possible. More impressively, she worked with me on an aggressive timeline and was always available when I needed her. I'm not sure if she sleeps, but I'm not complaining. HBS admit under my belt.

I got my final app review done through… I got my final app review done through Inspira. I worked with Sam on my Booth application. His insights were awesome. He provided great tactical and strategic feedback. He has adcom experience, which was apparent from my conversation with him. He was also very responsive and prompt with his communications.

Inspira was worth the investment You think you can do it without a consultant. You think, ah that's expensive, I'll just do it myself. Well.....bad idea. The extra money you spend on Inspira's help, which will ultimately help you get into your dream school, is a drop in the bucket considering all the costs associated with B-school and the opportunity cost of not getting into a top school. Arush is a mix between an editing guru and a psychologist. He helps you narrow down what you want to do in life and mold all the experiences into a compelling story. His customized schedule is perfect for someone, like me, who is working full time and trying to get all different aspects of the application not just done on time, but executed professionally.

My favorite aspect of working with… My favorite aspect of working with Arush and the Inspira team was how well they prepped me to begin writing my essays. Their MBA Action Plan assessment helped me recognize my areas of strength as well as my areas of weakness. While I had short and long-term plans, they helped me crystallize these ideas and articulate them in a manner that was cohesive and engaging, which is critical for any application. They also helped me identify aspects of my background that would be useful for some of the less traditional essays (e.g., Kellogg and MIT Sloan). I got into all the 4 schools that I applied to.

Great Essay I engaged Inspira to work on both my primary and secondary application essays. They turned out to be great. We did almost 20 turns. My team didn't allow me to be satisified with mediocre essays. The kept pushing me to do better and aim higher. True to their word, they really were cheerleaders, friends, and experts all in one.
