Student Testimonials

"Loaded My Essays with Impact. When I started the B school admission process, I was totally lost. ReachIvy’s counseling session helped me identify the strengths and weaknesses in my profile. The school selection session helped me shortlist schools with the best fit, thus optimizing my efforts. ReachIvy’s essay editing services were seamlessly managed. The brainstorming sessions helped me project the best aspects of my candidacy and every comment by ReachIvy editors loaded my essays with impact. ReachIvy also helped me cross the final frontier – the interviews, by pointing out even the minutest things I could do better. Thanks to ReachIvy, I could navigate through the convoluted b-school admission process with ease. I strongly believe that the joy of getting into a dream school is worth the additional investment required to work with a proficient counselor like ReachIvy."

"Very Invested in Helping out the Student. ReachIvy was a breath of fresh air when it came to B-school consultants. They are very talented, responsive, professional, and best part, very invested in helping out the student. The quality of edits I got for my essay and the turnaround time was impressive. It really helps when the consultant can actually relate to you and your experiences. They give you top-notch work for a fraction of the fee the international consultants are charging. I highly recommend it!"

"Conclusive Outcome. I had already secured admits to Oxford Said, Rotman, and Manchester Business School when I contacted ReachIvy for advice on making a final decision. I am not a registered student with ReachIvy and my only connection is a chance meeting with Vibha at an information session of a university. Despite not being a registered student, my query was answered by Vibha in one day over the phone. I had discussed my choice of school with other counselors, current students, and alumni. However, everyone merely put forth good comments about each school and gave diplomatic answers without any conclusive outcome. Vibha on the other hand spoke with a lot of conviction and helped me decide on my choice after discussing my past experience, long-term goals, expectations from an MBA, and even immigration for my spouse. All this with a turnaround time of 1 day and pro bono! I wish I had enrolled with ReachIvy earlier. Had I done so, I am sure that the last year which I spent applying to b schools would have been a joy ride!"

"Helped Me Convey My Story Better. Post submission of my written application I signed up for the interview preparation package from ReachIvy. After a preliminary preparation from the interview guide, I had two rounds of interviews with Vibha. The interviews were generic enough to cover the broad essentials for any B-school interview while also being specific and structurally similar to the interview pattern of the school of my choice. I found Vibha's feedback on my choice of examples and communication style very useful, and this definitely helped me to convey my 'story' better. Though I have not experienced ReachIvy for an entire application process, I am sure they are an excellent choice to help you in the application process."

"Transformed Experiences into Presentable Material. I came to ReachIvy with a lack of focus on my own professional long-term vision. I was therefore finding it difficult to articulate my career growth and expectations from business school in my essays. Through ReachIvy's essay brainstorming templates and constant feedback, I was very clearly able to connect my past experiences with my future plans. With every revision, my essays became concise and clearer. The magic of the ReachIvy team is its indisputable ability to pull out key experiences from your own life and transform them into presentable material for business school applications. I would definitely recommend its services to prospective applicants looking to fine-tune their essays."

"Reachivy Is Where the Magic Began. I had attempted applying to 3 top B-schools myself but didn't secure any admits. Then, a friend pointed me out to ReachIvy and that's when the magic began. I signed up for the 3 school application package with ReachIvy. The brainstorming sessions were extremely productive and resulted in a selection of wonderful topics that were a hallmark for some great essays. The mock interview was also terrific providing some great tips for a successful interview. The manuals that ReachIvy provides are extremely useful, particularly the ones on interview questions and how to write essays. Edits were quick, usually updated in less than 24hrs. Given the amazing experience I've had, I would recommend ReachIvy to anyone considering applying to B-school."

"Makes Application Process Seem Like a Cakewalk. I signed up for the 3-school MBA application package with ReachIvy. We started with a brainstorming session for my first school - ISB. These sessions were most impactful. I was reapplying and this time around the counselor was able to pick out the best stories from my experiences and string them together to make high-impact essays. My application from last year came nowhere close to this year's! What I liked most about ReachIvy is their process. They are fool-proof wherein the candidate is handheld through what forms the crux of a winning application - brainstorming essays and their edits. Their distilled ways make the complex application process seem like a cakewalk. Also, the ReachIvy manuals were very informative. They gave a good perspective to the different aspects of the application such as the resume. I would strongly recommend ReachIvy to candidates who wish to apply to the best b schools. I got an admit to my dream school - ISB! They are the best b school consultants globally."

"Brilliant Editors. I wrote my essays with the help of ReachIvy. Vibha personally worked with me through essays required by the schools. She first carefully understood my profile and my ideas and then skillfully guided me through the process of conceptualizing and drafting highly effective essays. ReachIvy's brilliant editors then edited, re-edited, and revised them until we jointly came up with absolutely stellar essays! It definitely helps to have someone young and experienced like Vibha working with you for your essays because she knows exactly what the thought process of the person evaluating them is. I strongly recommend using ReachIvy's resources for essays because they are completely in sync with what admission committees are looking for."

"Methodical, Well Organized. I am very thankful to ReachIvy for helping me get an admit to my dream school – Kellogg! After a very strenuous app-ing season, I was elated with the interview invites. But little did I know that the battle was only half won. Never having had the experience of interviewing for B schools, I was not sure how to proceed forward and what to expect. It was then I decided to take ReachIvy’s help and it proved to be the correct decision. I was highly impressed with ReachIvy’s vast knowledge of the elite B school applications as well as the interview processes. I found ReachIvy’s approach very methodical and the prep material clearly documented and very well organized. As I was based out of Pune, my mock interview session was effortlessly conducted over Skype. The mock session was very detailed and it helped me realize the areas I should focus on during the actual interview. Because of ReachIvy’s support, I went into the interview confident and prepared. Thank you ReachIvy!"

"Strongly Recommend. Starting early is the key and I strongly recommend beginning with a counselling session with ReachIvy. Students generally try to skip the counselling session and want to jump directly to the application. ReachIvy's profiling session enabled an in-depth SWOT analysis and assisted me in finding schools which were a perfect fit with my personality, learning style, and long-term career goals."

"Takes the Application Forward by Leaps and Bounds. My story was unique - I have a family business and have 3 years of work experience. But I wanted to pursue my MBA now. I scouted a lot of admissions consultancies prior to deciding on using the ReachIvy services. I signed up for the 5 school application package with them. I was impressed from the word go. Though I am based in Bangalore, working with the team was a breeze. The brainstorming sessions were extremely insightful and gave my essays a new perspective, every time. The team was relentless in encouraging me to push myself to keep bettering my application. Without the support of the ReachIvy team, my applications would have never made it to the 'Submit' button. I strongly recommend the ReachIvy services - It takes the application forward by leaps and bounds."

"Turned My Essays 360 Degrees. My association with ReachIvy started with counseling (profile building) sessions. Together, we charted my educational journey, where I was, and where I wanted to reach. I signed up for the 3 school application package. It was effortless working with the ReachIvy team due to their processes. In spite of being based in Mumbai, I interacted with the entire team via email/skype and on their collaborative platform for my applications. Not once did any of my questions/concerns go unanswered. The ReachIvy manuals gave a step-by-step approach to tackling compound applications. Complimented by the brainstorming sessions, my stories took the form of essays. Additionally, the essay editing turned my essays 360 degrees. I greatly credit my admit to Columbia Business School to ReachIvy and surely recommend B school aspirants to get in touch with them now!"

"I Am Glad That I Went to Reachivy. I was certainly apprehensive about signing up with ReachIvy. All I had read was a page of testimonials. However, the moment I signed up for the 3-school package, I started seeing the solid structure in ReachIvy’s approach. The ReachIvy team helped me think of my essays from every angle that really mattered. Notably, they helped me forget about the tens of other directions in which my internet research was pulling me. Once my essays were on track, the editors did a fantastic job of improving my sentence formation and effortlessly brought my essays down to the word limit without compromising on the information. Finally, the team even managed to rattle me in a mock interview, an area I didn't think I needed too much help with. In hindsight, I am glad that I went to ReachIvy and more so after I received an admit from Booth!"

"Quality Advice, Seamless Process. My case was very unique because I decided to apply to MBA schools very late in the process. In the midst of round three deadlines, the ReachIvy team was exceptional in pushing edits, delivering quality advice, and managing expectations. In a matter of 1 month, I was able to complete 5 applications and was accepted to 2 schools. I signed up with the full application package which was the most comprehensive and best-priced service. Initially, I was apprehensive of working on the cloud with anonymous editors and no face-to-face meetings. However, trusting Vibha and the ReachIvy team and initiating the application process with the brainstorming led to a seamless process that was smooth, highly responsive, and timely. The high-quality manuals, advice received from the brainstormers and editors, and advice received ensured high-quality essays and content. If you are looking for friends to hold your hand, ReachIvy is the wrong place. If you are looking for professionals who will mentor and correctly guide you, sign on and reach your dream college. I know I did!"

"Phenomenal Support. ReachIvy’s support to me during the application process was phenomenal! My case was unique because I started the application process very late. In spite of that the ReachIvy team ensured that I was always on target to meet application deadlines, by keeping me focused on all the tasks involved (I had signed up for the full application package). Brainstorming sessions with the team helped me incorporate my life experiences seamlessly into my essays, which was a tremendous boost to me while writing the very challenging essays of Oxford. I strongly recommend ReachIvy's services for anyone looking to put together a solid application for the top global b-schools!"

"Tailored My Experiences. Without ReachIvy I would not have been accepted to the top 3 B schools in the world. Vibha and team helped me create a coherent, credible story out of my jumbled experiences. They also tailored my experiences for each school that I applied to. On top of this, ReachIvy worked with my incredibly demanding timelines to ensure that I finished my applications by the required deadlines since I had an intense travel schedule. Finally, the team prepared me so well for the interviews that I was confident and without a shred of nervousness for each one. I highly recommend using ReachIvy even if you think you know and understand the admissions process."

"Extremely Impactful Session. I started working with ReachIvy with a counselling session. The session was extremely impactful and made my focus to apply to a top school even clearer. I then went on to sign up for the application package. From the word 'go', the entire team came together to make my applications really stand out! The brainstorming sessions magically brought out different aspects to position my candidacy in the best possible light. The expert essay editors further went on to shave off any redundant information, leaving my essays sharp and structured, specific to the school that I was applying to. I got interview invites from 2 top US schools and is on my way to Insead this year! My experience of working with the team has been enormously pleasurable and I would definitely recommend ReachIvy - if you wish to stay ahead of the curve!"
