MBA Testimonials

"Smooths Out Application Process. Upon talking with the ReachIvy team, I was immediately convinced and I signed up for the 2-school comprehensive package and a school selection package. From the very beginning, the ReachIvy team proactively helped me in all aspects of the application. I had a counseling session followed by a college selection session. Once I had shortlisted the schools I had to apply to, I was provided with forms to be filled for a brainstorming session. The brainstorming was scheduled with Vibha. The session really helped me kickstart the essay writing. ReachIvy has templates, which really help smooth out all parts of the application. The turnaround time is very fast and I usually received the reply from the team within 24 hours of submitting my essay drafts. I was able to get admits from 4 schools of my choice namely Babson, IE, ESADE and CEIBS. I thank ReachIvy for their assistance in my application process and I would like to recommend their services to all those planning to apply to business schools."

"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."
