"Professional management and prompt responses! Interviews are a pain point for me but I found ReachIvy’s Interview session extremely helpful. I secured an admit at UNC KF for my MBA. I worked on a 5 school package with the team. I started with the College selection session. My counselor helped me select schools that matched my career interests and profile. Everything was very professionally managed and the response during the application review phase was very prompt. The brainstormers helped me cover my story effectively and managed the sessions very professionally. Their response time during the application phase was also very prompt. Overall, my experience with ReachIvy has been extremely good and helpful."

"Personalized Approach! My reapplication to Insead made me realize that I needed expert guidance with my applications. ReachIvy not only helped me with my re-application but also was able to convert me to a successful admit by assessing the weakness in my previous application. ReachIvy helped me realize my potential. The speaker series hosted by ReachIvy empowered me with insights that were unparalleled to any other available information. My resume draft was well crafted by the expert ReachIvy editors. Similarly, my essay drafts were so keenly worked upon that though the content remained intact, they took on a new meaning. ReachIvy’s personalized approach gave me the edge my application needed right from the resume to the essays to the interview preparation."

"Helped me stand out in front of the interviewer! The expertise that the team brought to the table made all the difference in helping me stand out in front of the interviewer. The interview prep stood out for me in particular. I started working with ReachIvy on my dream schools and secured an admit at Emory and Duke’s Fuqua school of business. I started working with ReachIvy experts a year prior to my applications deadline. The expert's guidance helped me build a stellar profile that top schools are looking for. During the application process, the brainstormers helped bring out my strongest suits and stories which then made the essay writing process very smooth. Subsequently, working with the editors through the online platform was extremely time-efficient. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy for their subject matter expertise and the efficiency in their process!"

"ReachIvy is very a professional, process-oriented company with really good resources on board! I signed up for the 5 schools MBA package. My overall experience with ReachIvy has been good. Special mention to the Experts and Student Operations team for having helped me through the application process. The structure and the outlines for essays were quite helpful, so was the brainstorming session. Though I would suggest more flexibility in the process, I would surely recommend ReachIvy to future applicants."

"My application journey was a very smooth ride! It was back in 2017 when I read an article on Economic Times about how ReachIvy is helping MBA aspirants break into top-ranked colleges despite having an average profile with a very high success rate. Intrigued by the same, I attended one of the seminars conducted by Vibha Kagzi in Mumbai and was perplexed to know about the in and out of the whole admissions process. That day I felt a real connection with ReachIvy and I knew if I have to go to any consultancy, it would be them. Later, I enrolled for the 5 colleges package which included end-to-end services from profile building to interview preparation. In my first session, my mentor asked me numerous questions to get insights about my background and profile and then suggested I work on my profile for the whole year by suggesting various organizations and clubs as I was targeting Top 50 colleges globally. Following my mentor's advice, I joined many NGOs and Toastmasters in 2018 to polish my profile. Towards the end of 2018, I reconnected with ReachIvy to work upon my colleges. Then, the real work began. Before, starting my application, I was terrified, being the first person in my family to go for higher studies, however, the step by step process of ReachIvy starting with College Selection followed by Brainstorm and Essay Editing made my journey a very smooth ride. Especially the way, my essays came out, I was totally blown out by the story they created for me, as though it was my story I couldn't believe how come I never saw myself in this way. In the end, I was called for interview in 4/5 colleges I applied with the help of ReachIvy and got offers from Georgetown, Purdue and Boston Universities with significant scholarships at Purdue and Boston. Honestly, if it weren't ReachIvy, today I won't be even thinking about going to Georgetown University with alumnus like Bill Clinton and Bradley Cooper. Thank you ReachIvy, i had an amazing journey with you and wish you all the best for future aspirants."

"Team was responsive during times of confusion and self-doubt. Initially, I was in two minds about an online model, with no face-to-face interaction but it actually does work. I signed up for the 5-school package with ReachIvy. ReachIvy Expert understood exactly what my aspirations were and helped me draft applications and essays that were in complete alignment with the same. She made sure that my overall story was in line with what I wanted to do in the future, and helped me translate my complicated aspirations into simple words. She was readily available to answer all my questions and doubts whenever I was in need of external help. A big shout out to The Students Team at ReachIvy that worked round the clock and was as responsive as one can be during times of confusion and self-doubt."

"Help Provided Within Short Span of 11 Days. ReachIvy is the reason I could successfully complete my MBA applications with top-quality answers within a short span of only 11 days. I would recommend ReachIvy to all MBA aspirants I had signed up for ReachIvy’s 2 School Applications service that offered Brainstorming & Multiple Edits of all Essays, Recos and Resume. The service started with an intensive brainstorming session with an experienced ReachIvy Counsellor. During the 4-hour brainstorming session- the Counsellor helped me identify my strengths and achievements and helped me develop my personalized “life story”- that formed the base of all my MBA applications. After helping me with my story, ReachIvy reviewed each and every MBA Application essay. Here, what I liked the most about the ReachIvy team was their forthright criticism and review which encouraged me to give my best while writing the essays. Further, I was very impressed with their turn-around time when it came to reviewing my essays, recommendations, and resume. The ReachIvy website and portal were also very easy to use, and helped me in tracking my and my Reviewer’s progress on a real-time basis."

"Instrumental in Making Perfect Applications. My experience with ReachIvy was just wonderful. I chose the 5 schools comprehensive package. The step-by-step process ReachIvy follows, was instrumental in making the perfect applications to the schools. The counselling session was quite enlightening as I understood my profile better and was able to plan out where I could improve, so as to be more competitive with my fellow applicants. The college selection session made me shortlist schools that would be an ideal fit for me and also be realistically possible to get in. The ReachIvy expert was amazing with planning out strategies to tackle the essay questions. He was able to extract the best of my profile and help me in framing it perfectly to answer the questions. The interview prep was a much necessary step as the expert trained me to face the questions in a much more appealing way.  All in all, I would conclude by saying that without ReachIvy, my process of applying to schools would have been a much harder one and thanks to the team I was able to do it in a very short timeline as well."

"Keen eye for finding the best in you. ReachIvy helped me evaluate my profile, pointed out where I lacked and areas I needed to work on. During the brainstorming sessions, the counsellors helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses, heard my story, and brought out the best of me on my application. From an admission committee perspective, the team / person assessing thousands of applications, scans your profile without any background about you. Hence, it is really those essays that can make or break their decision. ReachIvy gets how important this aspect is and goes the extra mile to bring out all your personal and professional accomplishments in the best way possible. As all the counselors are from top B-schools themselves, they have the knowledge of what is required in your essays and what the interviewer is looking for as well. The whole ReachIvy system is really very coordinated. There are experts assigned specifically for college selection who help draw up the best set of colleges basis your profile. Not just that, there are people who are dedicated to brainstorming your essays and bringing out stories that you may not think of – no matter how small. They identify the most important aspect of your personality, and have a keen eye for finding the best in you."

Duke University

"Thoroughly Professional. Thank you ReachIvy for helping me achieve my dream. It couldn’t have been possible without your unwavering support! I worked with ReachIvy on their 5-school application package. Thanks to the team and their services, I got selected as a CASE scholar at Duke University and also received Duke's Social Sector Scholarship! ReachIvy helped me shape my complete application process right from Counseling, College Selection to Applications, and then Interview Prep, which was just 2 days prior to the scheduled interview date. The structured approach really helped me in applying to multiple schools in a short time, without overwhelming myself. It was phenomenal how they helped me present my strengths to different schools differently. You are thoroughly professional and prompt with every response. I cannot thank you enough."

ESADE

"Reduces Stress of Dealing with Applications. I signed up for the 10-school package that covered everything from brainstorming to interview prep. As soon as I signed up, we started off with a counseling session that focused on opportunities that were suitable, given my background and experience. This gave me insights into and an in-depth understanding on the opportunities that are available to me. Post this, we worked on my college selection and after this I was assigned a counselor, who began by understanding my profile quite comprehensively. This added tremendous value to the sessions and made the brainstorming session quite unique and highly successful, considering the importance of application essays. Brainstorming sessions were some of the most insightful sessions I have had and as a result, my essays were not only made easy but also had the impact that application essays should. What stood out was, the ease of working with the team and they were there almost anytime I needed advice or assistance. Their online content assisted greatly, especially during the interview prep. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy for anyone who wants to reduce the stress of dealing with applications and build a great profile for business schools. Thanks to them, I received admits from IE and Esade."
