HBS, GSB, Wharton & Booth Admit
“Ivy Admissions was my true partner in my MBA application journey from start to finish. Their insight into each school’s values, personality and tradition really made a difference when helping me craft and present my unique and personal narrative throughout all aspects of my application. Their coaching and guidance was always on point, particularly with their tailored and detail-oriented mock interviews. I wouldn’t have been able to accomplish what I have without their valuable insight and advice, born of their intimate understanding and relationships with their clients and their target schools. Thank you, Ivy Admissions!”

“Initially, I was a bit skeptical of paying thousands of dollars for a consulting service, but I'm glad I did. The Ivy Admissions team really took the time to understand who I am and what I want to get out of business school. I felt supported 100% of the way and I know his feedback contributed both to my acceptance at HBS and my 110k merit scholarship at Wharton.”

Harvard Business School and Kellogg Admit
“Before working with Ivy Admissions Group, I applied to and was rejected from Harvard twice. I submitted 8 MBA applications, 4 were under the guidance of other consultants, and ALL were rejected. I wasn't a bad candidate either, with 3 years of international experience, a 730 GMAT and a 3.5 GPA from my undergraduate school as an engineer. However, I didn't have a well-articulated and genuine vision. Ivy Admissions Group changed that for me completely. They helped me clean up my applications and write the first authentic story about what I truly wanted to be doing with my life. Not only did they get into HBS (and Kellogg), but they also helped me refine my dream and vision for my future. The level of service received was second to none, and trust me I had already spent over $5000 on expensive consultants that got me no results.”

"The mock interviews Ivy Admissions provided were instrumental for me to get into HBS. Their prep was tailored, thoughtful, and most of all, insightful enough to help me find the parts of my story to highlight and cover any weaknesses appropriately. They showed a level of understanding about the process that I struggled to get from other, much more expensive, options. I highly recommend working with them."

“Working with Nate was awesome! When I first started thinking about b-school, I was all over the place with my post-MBA goals but the narrative exercise helped me structure my thoughts to create a story that made sense. Additionally, Nate and Anna's help with structuring my resume allowed me to have a document that told my story rather than just being a random group of jobs/activities that I did. This help with creating a cohesive narrative and making sure my goals made sense was very valuable and helped me get accepted to Tuck and Darden.”

UVA Darden Admit
“I chose to work with Nate, Anna, and the team at Ivy because they clearly stood out from the competition. The team is small, the consultants are deeply focused on the client as an individual, and the narrative approach is unlike anything you will find elsewhere.
I was very skeptical about the possibility that I'd be able to generate a cohesive story about my career, which has included three seemingly unrelated jobs. Through the Narrative Bootcamp process, Nate demonstrated an uncanny ability to draw connections between my past experiences. He helped me pinpoint genuine threads of similarity that I would not have identified on my own.
Nate and Anna were extremely professional and responsive, and they were a pleasure to work with. Most importantly, they helped me prepare my best possible application, which means I can look back on the whole process with no regrets.”

“My work with Nate and Roanna was super helpful. The industry I work in tends to be a bit insulated, and it was nice to have my story gutted from the outside. The feedback I received in the hourly service, pushes on my personal narrative, and the reflections I received on my interview answers were applicable across the schools I applied. Their support helped me present a balanced application to secure admission to my first-choice school with a named fellowship and some $$.”

“Getting waitlisted can be a uniquely stressful aspect of the application process. You don't really know where you stand, what to do, and what not to do. Nate was very helpful throughout the process in terms of overall communications strategy, improving and showcasing my accomplishments, and crafting a strong narrative. Not only was his specific advice very helpful for my waitlist work, but the structure he provided to use for my overall narrative will surely continue to be useful for years to come.
