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.

One of Inspira's adcom members provided… One of Inspira's adcom members provided feedback on my application on short notice since we were only a week away from the application deadline when I got done. I got in Sloan, Booth, Johnson, and Yale SOM, which was a dream come true. Super appreciative and grateful for the Inspira team's help!

I only have great things to say about… I only have great things to say about Botong and team at Inspira. Amazing attention to detail, best story tellers and people who will put relationships above everything else. I admire and appreciate how much you cared about my success.

Personalized, high quality service Mary was a phenomenal consultant and support throughout my MBA application process. From the initial consultation, she understood my background and connected with me on my challenges in a way few other consultants ever had! She developed a personalized strategy for me that inspired confidence in myself. She also provided valuable assistance in school selection, helping me focus my search and narrowing it down to 6 programs. She has an established process and her own structured frameworks that did an amazing job of distilling all my past experiences. She helped me take those results and formulate my personal story that was relevant and made sense for MBA application essays and interviews. Mary understands what the admissions committees look for and her advice was always spot on! She was always accessible and her communication is prompt. What stood out to me about Mary: – True, customized approach that was suitable for my application strategy – How well she understands Adcom members on the other side of the table – How invested she is in her clients. This level of care is reflected in her feedback and interactions: quality and detail-oriented from essay reviews to mock interviews – Her expertise not only on the major US programs but also on the European programs I was considering as well Mary is a consummate professional and her assistance was truly an end-to-end experience. I worked on 6 schools with her and I received Round 1 acceptances from 4 of them. Best investment I ever made. I am proud LBS MBA admit! I would enthusiastically recommend Mary and Inspira Futures to anyone.

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.
