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!

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.

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.

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!

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
