Atul Jose (Founding Consultant, F1GMAT): Over the past 15 years, I have helped MBA applicants gain admissions to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Chicago Booth, Kellogg, Columbia, Haas, Yale, NYU Stern, Ross, Duke Fuqua, Darden, Tuck, IMD, London Business School, INSEAD, IE, IESE, HEC Paris, McCombs, Tepper, ISB, and schools in the top 30 global MBA ranking.
From the many heartfelt thank you notes, I have framed this in my office. It captures who I am and the service that I offer:
"I must thank you for your kind support and encouragement all the time, even when I was down. Thanks for following up, pushing me, and helping me out at the last minute, even past midnight. I couldn't have made it here without you! Truly grateful to you. ."
Through each admission cycle, I played with phrases & story lines and positioned the applicant's strengths.
I captured the client's authentic voice. I asked the right questions to help them find their true calling, strengths, and weaknesses.
I encouraged applicants to target the right school.
I prepared them to answer any questions confidently in interviews.
I helped them overcome their initial hesitation to reach out to supervisors/managers they otherwise would not have.
I suggested negotiating for scholarships, asking for extra $ and starting an authentic conversation with the admissions team.
The holistic approach has helped applicants reach their career goals.
Many are in influential positions and often update me about their career and life journey.
That is the greatest high of this role - to see my clients doing well both in life and in their career!
If you are an MBA or Master's applicant, the best way to start the conversation is to introduce yourself and share the target schools, the help you need, and your background information(professional achievements, extracurricular, GPA, and GMAT/GRE).
