The brainstorming sessions were amazing. They helped me showcase my strengths through my experiences and the team pushed me to reach my true potential and reach my dream school. The interview sessions were intense and highly effective. I am super thrilled to start the new journey. Thank you, team ReachIvy!"

"Skilled Approach, Exact Communication. In a UK Masters app, the SOP is the single most important document that ties up your past achievements and your future goals. The craft of communicating the right amount of information in the right manner to my top choice universities is what ReachIvy helped me achieve. Since I was in London. , we worked via email and ReachIvy’s expert editors helped me rework my essay to convey my thoughts in the crispest way possible. ReachIvy showed me ways to focus my story and projected a skilled approach in exact communication, given the limited word allowance. My writing style remained intact, but the content and direction of my essays improved considerably. I also had a time constraint which was met at every step by ReachIvy. Not only am I glad that I came across ReachIvy, but I also encourage other students to partake of the fantastic services they offer."

"Hassle-free Experience. I enrolled for a 3 school package with ReachIvy. From the onset the team was responsive, supportive, and efficient, ensuring that I had a hassle-free experience. The brainstorming session helped me channelize my thoughts, bring out my strengths and tailor the SOP to the desired school. Additional inputs from the editors helped me connect the missing dots to make my application strong. I was able to get admission to Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and McGill University. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy to those aspiring to get admitted to top schools. Thank you ReachIvy for all the help and support!"

"World-class Brainstorming Sessions. I enrolled for a 3 school MBA/Masters application package with ReachIvy. The team was very prompt and always accommodated my requests. One of the many impressive strengths of the team was the absolute clarity of conducting the world-class brainstorming sessions. I have published a poetry book and considered my draft essays faultless but the editorial team not only discovered myriad vulnerabilities but also made them bullet-proof! I cracked the SMU MAF program which is rated 4th best in Asia as per FT Rankings 2016. Undoubtedly with a touch of genius, they are at the top of their game!"

"Worth Every Penny. ReachIvy has been extremely helpful in reaching my dream school. It helped me bring out and present my strengths to the colleges in an exceptional way. It is not easy to get into MBA program of a top college without any full time work experience. ReachIvy has made it possible by helping me build my profile, and present my best to the colleges. The interview session is worth every penny as that is the final stage where we get in touch with the colleges and are given a chance to convince them. I highly recommend Reach Ivy to every student who wants to achieve his/her dreams and thinks they can present themselves better than they are."

"Super-efficient Process, Swift Replies. I signed up for the 5 school package with ReachIvy. I started off with the brainstorming session and the brainstormer went through my complete life history and we discussed highly personal as well as professional stories about me. We then narrowed down important learnings from my experiences and went through the stories which were relevant to the essays for the schools I was applying to. I drafted the essays based on detailed prompts provided by the brainstormer and then the editors provided comments on those immediately. The process is super efficient and while you might take additional time to draft essays, the editors always reply swiftly. Moreover, the interview and resume manuals really helped me during my application process. Overall, the story is yours but ReachIvy's inputs let you tell your story in an amicable manner. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy to everyone who's reading this testimonial"

"Exceptional Guidance. I signed up with ReachIvy for a complete 5 school package for my MBA applications. From day one, ReachIvy Team helped me be extremely organized and approach the applications in a pre-defined procedure. The first step was to choose my colleges and decide on the application rounds for each college so as to spend sufficient time on each of the colleges. Each of the applications had a brainstorming session to decide the flavor and story of the application. I would definitely recommend the brainstorming sessions and give them the highest rating possible. These sessions helped me read through my life stories which I wouldn't have paid attention to otherwise. In addition, the essay editing and the interview preparations were also done with equal expertise and exceptional guidance. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy's services to everyone who is aiming big in their career and education. A heartfelt thanks to your team!"

"Very Knowledgeable Team. Being alumnus of some of the very schools that most of us aspire to go to, the ReachIvy team is very knowledgeable about the nuances of applications to top-tier schools. ReachIvy won't just give you personal attention and guide you with selecting the right schools, but will also help you tailor your application to make you come across in the best light possible. What's most unique about ReachIvy is its ongoing Speaker Series: it offers an abundance of information and insight. This also provides for a vast network of alumni, faculty and admissions experts, which will prove to be very useful. I highly recommend ReachIvy's services for all those focusing on top tier schools."

"Tremendous Network of Top-college Alums. ReachIvy assisted me with my interview preparation for top-ranked B-schools. They relentlessly challenged my responses, tone, and preparation and kept pushing me to bring out my best. There was a great emphasis on diligence and going beyond the obvious - the result of which is now apparent. Since Vibha is an HBS alum and was also accepted at Wharton, she was able to give me an insider perspective on the interview process, an attribute that was priceless. With their tremendous network of colleagues and friends in various top colleges, ReachIvy was able to give me a 360 degree perspective of what qualities leading B-schools are looking for. I highly recommend ReachIvy for its professional and personal approach towards applicants."

"Well Defined Processes. I don't think I would have even applied to B-Schools without ReachIvy’s help! A fantastic counselling session with the ReachIvy counsellor and I had made up my mind to sign up for my full package. We started by identifying suitable colleges based on my profile. Once known, the counsellor suggested concrete steps to enrich my resume and round out my profile. It was an absolute pleasure working with the team at ReachIvy. They have a great technology platform to backup the enthusiastic team behind the scenes. Since my office was around the corner, I personally visited the ReachIvy office often. But processes were so well defined, that I could have been in another continent and the work would be just as easy! The content they shared with me was excellent and proved to be a great place to start whether it was college selection or essays. I would very strongly suggest using the services of ReachIvy."

"Critical, Story-specific Advice. I signed up for an interview preparation session with ReachIvy after being invited to interview by Kellogg. Before the session, I wasn't sure how to go about preparing for the interview. During the course of the hour-long session, the ReachIvy counselor critically analyzed my responses and gave me great advice that was specific to my story. This gave me a sound framework to structure my preparation - I became confident that I was well-equipped to handle the interview. Thanks in large part to the counselor’s inputs, my interview went very well and I was accepted by Kellogg. I was able to apply the same principles to prepare for my interview with Wharton, which is where I'll be heading this fall. I doubt that I would have achieved this success without ReachIvy's help!"

"Helped Crack 1hr Interview Smoothly. I was skeptical to meet ReachIvy and take your mock interview service since I had already spoken to lot of my friends who trained me on number of mock interview sessions. My interview was on 13th December’2012, and by 10th December, I thought that I had really structured my thoughts well for the real interview. However, something happened to me and I realized I should not take a chance and decided to schedule a session. On 11th December, when I met a counsellor, I realised I was really under the water since my thought process was not at all in line with what is required to clear the interviews. ReachIvy pointed out my mistakes and took my thoughts/answers very critically in just 1 hour of our talk. I also practiced the set of 200 interview questions given by you and especially addressed the behavioral questions to structure my thoughts. By 12th December evening, I had practiced so hard that I felt confident on my preparation. I remember that on 13th morning, the actual day of my interview with the senior director of admissions for MIT Sloan, I was dancing at 3 in the morning, as I was excited about the upcoming interview. The entire preparation helped and I was able to crack a very tough 1 hour and 5 minutes interview very smoothly. Had I not met you on time and had I been over-confident, I would have not made it to MIT Sloan. Credit goes to you for listening me patiently. ReachIvy – Wohoo! I’ll certainly recommend you to my friends and community – You deserve it!"

"Helped Me Introspect, Get Back on Track. I approached ReachIvy after getting rejected from 4 interviews. I signed up for an interview prep service on my brother’s recommendation. The counselors at ReachIvy don’t mince words. They don’t try to be your friend just to make you feel good. Yes I did ‘prepare’ for past interviews with help of another experienced professional counselor (LBS alumnus) but I was unable to introspect and was not improving much. What ReachIvy achieved is that they dug deep for the problems, fed them to me straight and tried to get me to be honest with myself so that I could pick myself up, dust off and do as instructed to get my preparation on track. The counselor was able to spot interview questions pertaining to my profile. She helped me organize my thoughts and hence made it easy to identify my areas of weakness. I saw a mirror that I was afraid to look into. It showed me not just at what I had become, but what I could become. I cannot think of money better spent. I would never have been successfully admitted to BOTH, Paul Irvine and Schulich, if not for ReachIvy. I wish I had known them when I started my applications. Thank you team for keeping the sessions intense and for being so patient with me during my blur moments."

"Seamless Collaborative Platform. When I approached ReachIvy for my applications, I had one goal in mind – to go to Rotman. This was a personal as well as an academic decision for me. My family stays in Canada and it is the best B School there. I was sensitive to the costs involved but was also aware that I would need ReachIvy’s proficiency to give me direction. In spite of having an unconventional background (I was working with a non profit for 1 year 2 months), I wanted to pursue an MBA in Finance – mitigating that was the true challenge. With ReachIvy’s expertise, I communicated that in my essays. In spite of being in Mumbai, I didn’t have to physically travel. We used their online collaborative platform and worked beautifully with minimal face-to-face meetings. This really cut travel time and helped me use that time more effectively."
