Coming from a non-traditional… Coming from a non-traditional background, I felt pretty overwhelmed by the whole MBA application process, and was initially hesitant to get any type of consulting help. Looking back now however, getting Kamir's help was the best investment I could've made. Throughout the several months process, Kamir coached me on how best to share my story in a way that stuck true to who I am and where I want to go, while simultaneously keeping me organized/on track and even growing my writing skills. On top of that, I truly feel that I now know myself better both personally and professionally, beyond just for MBA applications, and have a strong idea of where I would like to go next. He is extremely insightful, knowledgeable and personable, and his vast experience in both MBA admissions and creative writing was invaluable to me as he helped me see how exactly the different bits and pieces of my story connected together in a coherent way. Additionally, he is extremely responsive and always willing to talk/answer any (big or small) questions along the way, which is incredibly helpful during such a stressful period. I got into Kellogg and Booth. Ended up dedicing going to Booth

Raquel is a coach with a heart! Raquel is a coach with a heart. My interaction with Raquel started during my first half-hour consultation with Inspira Futures. I had no expectations of Inspira then, and was undecided in signing up for a coach. But within the first few minutes of our call, Raquel’s warm and friendly persona drew me in like quicksand. There was never a mention of business sale. Our conversation was personal and authentic. It was at that point I knew engaging Inspira Futures was the right move for me. Raquel played a very important role of a coach and a pseudo mentor and friend throughout my MBA application journey. She checked up on me every other week to see if I was doing well, giving me support and guidance to navigate through the gruelling 3-month process and life in general. She was genuine in getting to know me as a person person, including my personality type and values, and was tremendously prompt in answering my queries (+my occasional need for emotional support). I believe that Raquel’s care for people comes from a place with a high level of empathy, which is rare today. Her support is pivotal to me realizing the importance of happiness in life, which led to me express this in my writing, and gaining acceptance into Stanford GSB and Columbia Business School. If you are looking for a coach who cares for you regardless of your background, has strong credentials and experience and has a genuine heart to see you succeed, look no further – Raquel is the person for you.

I would not have got into HBS without Inspira I would not have got into HBS without help from Arush and the team at Inspira. Having gone to a non target undergrad and with work experience at a non blue chip company, I had no idea where I would land. But Inspira’s team has such a well structured process that they made the seemingly stressful MBA application feel like a cakewalk. Right from which schools to target, to how to look back at my history and pick up the right stories. Really thankful!

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.
