Complete "Start to Finish" Package

mbaMission believes in its package approach; by charging a flat fee per application, we give you the freedom to constantly improve all aspects of your work. Some firms charge by the hour and will help you until your budget runs out; we will forge a strong relationship with you and work ceaselessly to make all aspects of your application stand out. We will lead you through our "Complete Start to Finish" package—a comprehensive process that has proven to yield results. You will have a coach/partner guiding you through all aspects of the process.

Pre-stage: Access the mbaMission Library

Candidates who purchase our Complete Start-to-Finish Admissions Guide gain access to the entire mbaMission library, from our Brainstorming and Essay Outline guides to our Recommendation and Interview guides, in addition to mbaMission Insider's Guides for each of their target schools. We have researched and written these information-packed handbooks specifically for you and have included sample essays, resumes and recommendations to help you streamline your application processes and to ensure you have access to consolidated, school-specific information.

Stage 1: Candidate Assessment

As you begin the process, there are significant steps that you can take to develop your profile and improve your candidacy. We will advise you on various issues regarding your candidacy, such as retaking the GMAT, enrolling in math and finance courses, selecting a volunteer organization to join, planning campus visits and connecting with alumni to learn specifics about programs. By proactively targeting weaknesses and complementing strengths, we will help you complete your profile.

Stage 2: Program Compatibility

After reviewing your profile and analyzing your strengths and weaknesses, we will help you identify the programs where you will be competitive. Then, we will help you develop a strategy to move forward. Through our Insider's Guides, we will help you understand the traits and attributes of many top business schools so you can find the best fit for you.

Stage 3: Brainstorming

Through one-on-one idea generation sessions, we will help you identify interesting and inspirational stories from your past. Experience has shown us that candidates often ignore events that seem trivial to them, but such events can often be the incredible stories that make candidates distinct. We will help you place these stories into the larger context of your application, developing compelling and comprehensive statements that highlight your unique attributes.

Stage 4: Outlining

By working with you to develop a framework for each essay, we will save you valuable time and reduce your stress by helping you avoid easily preventable errors. You will prepare your first complete draft knowing that you have a clear direction and the foundation for a compelling essay.

Stage 5: Essay Writing

Your first draft will be thoroughly checked for continuity, clarity and distinctiveness. You will find a variety of questions and comments, all designed to increase the detail and color of your essay, without compromising word limits. As your essays take shape, we will fine-tune each draft, focusing on sentence structure, grammar, style and flow. Our work is not done until you are satisfied; there is no limit to the number of drafts that we will review for you. (We have actually been known to coax clients into additional drafts from time to time, when we are not yet satisfied.)

Resume and Short Answer Preparation

Your resume and response to "short answer" questions are crucial parts of your application. We will ensure that they are detailed, developed and results oriented so that you bolster your overall possibilities of success and capitalize on every opportunity.

Letters of Recommendation

Selecting and managing those who will write your letters of recommendation takes thought and skill. We will give you the tools to select the recommenders whose letters will both complement and supplement your application and grab the attention of Admissions Committees.

Stage 6: Interview Preparation

We will help you prepare for your interviews through an in-depth preparation process (in which we will use questions asked to previous candidates to your selected school). You will then enter your official school interview with confidence, knowing that you have been tested and that your answers have been refined.

Stage 7: Post-Acceptance

Our work is not over when you are accepted to your chosen MBA programs. In fact, a new phase begins. Determining which school is best can be an agonizing process. We provide objective advice and sober second thought for candidates who are confronted with difficult choices that will affect the rest of their lives. We will brainstorm with you once again as you work through this important decision and, if desired, will even collaborate with you on another round of distinctive essays so that you can win coveted scholarships sponsored by your target schools.
