mbaMission Advantages

Your business school application is your ticket to a new and exciting phase of your life and career, so of course, you want it to be the best it can be and you might benefit from the advice of someone who is uniquely knowledgeable. But from whom? Someone with professional writing experience, perhaps? Someone with profound knowledge of the MBA application process? Maybe someone with an MBA who has been through the process him/herself? With mbaMission, you will work with a consultant who not only has all of these attributes and more, but who will also ensure your application helps set you apart from the crowd.

Exclusive Recommendations

mbaMission takes great pride in knowing that not just one, but both of the world’s leading GMAT-prep firms—Manhattan GMAT and Kaplan—recommend our firm exclusively to their clients.

Elite Communications Expertise

When you apply to business school, almost all of your communication with the admissions committees will be through the written word. So, having an MBA admissions consultant with profound communications experience on your side will be vitally important. At mbaMission, we are elite communicators first and foremost, including an Ambassadorial Speechwriter, a managing editor with Fast Company and Inc. magazines, two authors of the book 65 Successful Harvard Business School Application Essays, a journalist who interviewed world leaders, a Harvard Business School case writer, a former manager of The Yale Review, a contributor to a bestselling business book and more. No other admissions consulting firm can boast that its entire team of consultants has written work in the public domain, but mbaMission requires it. You will be writing personal statements that will be crucial to advancing your career, so you deserve to have an experienced communicator as your guide.

A Real Admissions Consulting Firm

Finding an admissions consulting Web site is easy, but finding a true admissions consulting firm like mbaMission is rare. In addition to our own annual consultant training conference in New York, we have weekly team meetings in which we share the latest information on admissions trends and brainstorm creative new ways to help our clients. We have published 14 Insider’s Guides and three editions of our Complete Start-to-Finish Admissions Guide, which is available on our Web site and, as of September 2010, via Amazon.com and major book retailers. We conduct exclusive interviews with admissions officers at top business schools and have a Director of Content who heads our ongoing publishing efforts. Plus, our Senior Consultants are dedicated team members who truly “live” MBA admissions each season. With mbaMission, you will have an admissions consultant who is entirely devoted to this process and is available and accountable to you throughout.

Already Working for You

Each year, we revise and strengthen our suite of Insider’s Guides, speaking with admissions officers, students and alumni from each school to get the real “insider’s” perspective. Recently, a director of communications at a top-five MBA program told mbaMission, “You nailed our identity and what is unique about our school.” When you sign up with mbaMission, you immediately obtain the benefits of a content team that has been working for you for years so that you can efficiently learn key information about your target school. Similarly, we have published the third edition of our Complete Start-to-Finish Admissions Guide, which includes numerous sample essays, resumes, letters of recommendation and more, which we share with all our package clients for free. You may just be starting the business school application process, but we have already been working on your behalf for quite a long time.

Our Team Is on Our Web Site

We are proud of our team members and their accomplishments, and we encourage you to read our bios, which are all available online, to learn more about us. With some firms, you may know very little about your consultant, or you might communicate with a figurehead while others behind the scenes actually do the work. At mbaMission, we first work with you to identify which consultants may be a good fit for you, and you ultimately choose the one with whom you want to work, rather than having someone who may not be the right fit randomly assigned to you. Your mbaMission consultant will then work one-on-one with you and will establish a true relationship with you as an individual, so you will have a reliable guide and advocate throughout the entire application process.

External Validation

At one time, ManhattanGMAT recommended as many as ten different admissions consulting firms. Now, it recommends one—mbaMission. Similarly, Kaplan GMAT chose just one firm, mbaMission, with which to launch a pilot program to work with its business school applicants. And, mbaMission has earned raves on Admissions 411. We are committed to each and every client, and the validation we receive from others is our incredible reward.

Admissions Experience

We have conducted admissions interviews and have, in the past, given admit/reject recommendations to admission committees. We have interviewed admissions officers for our blog and publications, hosted panels with them and visited with them at conferences. We approach the admissions process with a respect for these individuals’ perspectives and share their knowledge and experience with you.

Unique MBA Experience

All of mbaMission’s Senior Consultants have earned MBAs from top business schools. In short, we know the MBA experience intimately and from a variety of perspectives. From a Harvard Business School graduate with distinction to a Chicago Booth Siebel Scholar to a Wharton Graduation Marshall to a Ross Distinguished Scholar to a Darden Class Graduation Speaker—the list goes on and on. Our team’s collective MBA experience gives us the breadth needed to serve you best.

Package Approach

The majority of our clients opt for our Complete Start-to-Finish Package, which offers you unlimited service for a flat fee and guides you through the entire application process, from brainstorming to interviews and beyond, as needed. This approach both encourages and rewards your hard work and enthusiasm, and your consultant will be with you every step of the way, offering advice, feedback and inspiration to keep you on track and putting your best foot forward. We want you to be able to work on your applications until you create a final package that you feel is your best—not until your budget runs out. We will push you, and you will have the freedom to respond...

We encourage you to schedule your free consultation or get started with our services today and look forward to helping you pursue your MBA admissions goals.
