MBA Testimonials

"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."

"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!"
