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.

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.

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.

Arush acted both as a life-coach Arush acted both as a life-coach, spending hours introspecting on my life-story, and as a talented writer, helping me bring my stories to life. He was a master at navigating both the big picture and drilling down into the nuts and bolts. He forced me to keep my essays crisp, concise and to the point, while effortlessly adapting the style to fit both Harvard and Stanford.

Inspira brought out the best in me! Inspira brought out the best in me! I never thought I can come up with an application essay that good and answer the admission committee's questions like a pro. However, I made it to Kellogg, which had always been a dream. I just started school and it's every bit as awesome as I had expected it to be.
