"Wonderful Experience! I had a wonderful experience with ReachIvy. All the counselors are very well qualified. They all have gone through the application process themselves, which makes them even more suited for providing guidance. Each part of the application is carried out by a different counselor who is an expert in their own field, which helps in filling out parts which might have been overlooked earlier. The essay brainstorming (story building) is specially amazing. It takes out different instances of your life and strings it together to make a strong application, which in fact helped me get a scholarship just based on my application. I liked the ReachIvy experience so much, that I recommended it to a few of my friends as well who only have positive things to say about the experience."

"Incredibly Structured Approach!

I signed up for the 5 school application package with ReachIvy. At the first step, ReachIvy team helped in identifying which were the ideal top 5 colleges to work on in the first go. The second stage was brainstorming with the counselors. For me this was perhaps the most important and exhausting stage of the process - it was almost like therapy! - and really the most useful. The ReachIvy team was really incredible in spending the time to get to know me as an applicant, to get to know my background, my motivations for wanting to apply for an MBA and then using that information to feed into my overall application and essays so that I could tell the admissions committees a compelling personal story about myself, why an MBA, why now, what I hoped to get out of the experience and what I would add as an applicant to the School.
 
ReachIvy was incredibly structured in the approach to work and this was hugely helpful as an applicant. The online forms, while tedious to fill, meant there was a constant written record of my discussions with the team and that we could build on this in a trackable manner. Similarly, the editing process was extremely rigorous and the team was  quick to get back with feedback and further changes within 24 - 48 hours which allowed for fast progress with the application process. Personally, I found the editorial feedback on tightening my CV and essays, to keep out the fluff, stay to the point and be as precise with my expressions and words as possible a huge, huge benefit of working with the team. They were also not afraid to make me re-edit the same line multiple times to get just the right phrasing, which was a sign for me of a team that was really behind its client.
 
The videos and manuals helped in getting a better understanding of schools and general feedback and advice on the application process.
 
I would recommend ReachIvy very highly. The team is incredibly tough and demanding, but that yielded results for me and overall it was a great learning experience to work with the team. It's definitely one that has meant I am better prepped for embarking on the MBA!"

"Top Notch Essay Edits. Thanks to ReachIvy’s extensive experience, well-structured approach, guidance, and feedback, I got admitted from 5 (NUS, CEIBS, IIMA, ESADE, and AMBS) of the 7 schools I applied to. Since its inception, the ReachIvy team was extremely practical and professional in its approach. The team helped me identify and choose the right business schools based on my experiences, strengths, weaknesses, and future goals. Post the school selection, my consultant helped me brainstorm my career goals and how I could link my professional and personal experiences with my future goals. The extremely friendly and interactive brainstorming session set the tone for my applications. In addition, essay edits were top notch and the team, if required, would make you edit the essay multiple times until it's impeccable. Further, the mock interview was exceptionally informative and effective. Also, it is not easy for a couple to get admitted to the same school, but with ReachIvy’s assistance my wife and I got into CEIBS (the first Indian couple to get an admit based on discussions with the Admissions Manager), AMBS and ESADE. Thank you ReachIvy for your invaluable support. I would highly recommend ReachIvy to any MBA aspirant."

"Tailor-made Applications! I attribute my recent acceptance to Oxford, HEC Paris, and IESE to ReachIvy’s exceptional guidance, feedback, and coaching throughout the entire application process. ReachIvy set the stage for a great application when they helped me choose the right business schools for me based upon my academic achievements, career progression, extra-curricular activities, and future goals. Post the college selection process, my consultant helped me brainstorm my post MBA goals and how I could tie these goals with my life experiences, and why getting an MBA is the way to accomplish them. My consultant’s open-minded and empathetic approach allowed me to communicate my true personality and genuine aspirations in a warm and comforting setting. Additionally, the essay-editing services were top-notch, providing precise and concise feedback while maintaining ‘My Voice’ throughout all my essays. The final result helped showcase the impact I had at work in addition to painting a wholesome picture about me in a professional and personal manner. Finally, when it came to preparing for my interviews, we went through almost 40 different questions that could be asked in just an hour. The mock interview was very information-intensive, and was 100% worth it – every question that was asked during my real interview was practiced in my mock interview. I would highly recommend ReachIvy to anyone looking for an admissions consultant because they take the time to get to know their clients and tailor their applications to their unique situations. Thank you for helping me realize my dream of getting into a top-tier MBA program."

"Extremely Responsive and Practical! I had enrolled in a comprehensive package of 7 schools with ReachIvy. Right from the onset, the ReachIvy team was extremely responsive and practical. After evaluating my profile, the team helped me choose realistic target B-schools. The next step was “the soul searching (brainstorming) session”. It was an extremely friendly but demanding session that really helped me showcase the strong and unique aspects of my profile in the application. The editors helped me craft the essays to perfection. Also, the mock interviews were realistic and extremely helpful. Thanks to ReachIvy, I got admitted from HKUST, CEIBS, ESADE, and AMBS. I am super thrilled to start the new journey at HKUST. I would strongly recommend ReachIvy."

"Nothing Less than Amazing! I had worked with ReachIvy for my MS applications. Their systematic and professional approach had helped me get admitted to top universities. When it came to MBA applications, the choice was clear. I signed up for the 5 school MBA package. I started with a college selection session which was followed by essay brainstorming sessions, resume editing, essay editing, and interview prep sessions. The process once again was impeccable. This time even with the time difference between India and US. The team was highly responsive and made sure we met all the deadlines. They kept working on the application until every element of the application was perfect. Their videos and manuals were great resources to start off with and helped me streamline my thoughts. Interview prep sessions were of incredible help. The expert covered a wide array of potential questions timed my responses and helped me refine my answers. After two sessions, there was an immense improvement in my answers and confidence. Overall, my association with ReachIvy has been enormously fruitful. I highly recommend ReachIvy to any student aspiring to get into top school."

"Helped me make a firm decision! I had signed up for a 5-school MBA application package with ReachIvy in the first week of December 2018. Considering the fact that I was looking at Fall 2019 intake, I was reasonably late in beginning the process. However, I was never made to feel that way and everyone working behind the scenes in the ReachIVY team made sure that I was all set and in time for the next application round. The brainstorming sessions with Arpita were superb. She is brilliant at what she does! Initially, my thoughts and 'goals' were pretty much all over the place, but speaking and discussions with her made me much more certain about the things I want from an MBA. The essay editing professionals at ReachIVY are impeccable as well. Prompt essay edits and suggestions make your service truly stand out! If I go back in time, I would not change a single thing about my experience with ReachIVY. You guys are really amazing. I hope you keep up the good work and keep helping people like me in getting to our dream schools!"

"Seamlessly designed remote-access process! I've received scholarship offers from top schools like LBS and Stern, as well as admits from Ross and CEIBS. I am a proud winner of the mentorship scholarship offered by ReachIvy, and this made me believe that the ReachIvy team is as invested in the future of study abroad aspirants like us. In addition to the scholarship service, I signed up for essay brainstorming and interview preparation as well. The whole process is designed to work seamlessly and remotely, making it easy to prep from the comfort of your home. They were always helpful in terms of additional questions and advice. Having worked with scores of MBA aspirants, they provide invaluable advice to help highlight the most compelling aspects of your profile. Thank you, team Reachivy :)"

"Detailed brainstorming to lay a strong foundation!

I was very clear on applying only to London Business School and worked with ReachIvy on this application. We started with a detailed brainstorming session with a senior expert which helped me lay a strong foundation and build a concrete strategy for my essays and application on the whole. The ReachIvy team refined my essays beautifully and I was left amazed by how the edits were meticulous and tailored to my exact needs. ReachIvy certainly played a massive role in helping me secure an admit to the top school of my choice."
