MBA Crystal Ball

Got into IIM A, B, and C, and ISB as a reapplicant!

After a previous attempt with another consulting team (that calls itself the best MBA consultants for ISB and IIMs) didn’t result in an admit, I knew I couldn’t take any chances this time. I had heard that MBA Crystal Ball was the gold standard for both international and Indian MBA programs, so I decided to reach out.

While I was confident in my professional profile, my previous rejections had made me cautious..particularly with a modest GMAT score of 655. My MCB consultant, Avinash, was instrumental in turning things around. He provided constant, unwavering support throughout the process, ensuring I stayed focused and motivated.

The standout feature of working with MCB was the storytelling. Avinash helped me dig deep into my experiences to craft a compelling narrative that truly resonated with admissions committees. This made all the difference. I went from being a reapplicant at three schools to receiving interviews and admits from ISB and all the top 3 IIMs!

I have ultimately chosen IIM Ahmedabad after thorough due diligence and continued guidance from the MCB team. If you are looking for a team that offers personalized attention and elite-level strategy, I cannot recommend them highly enough!

I got into INSEAD with scholarship in the much tougher round 2 with a GMAT score that would be considered average for an Indian male engineer.
Scope of work: I took MBA MAP + 3 bschool essay editing package from MBA crystal ball
This was my third attempt at GMAT. I had scored 710 earlier. I knew that the score was going to be a disadvantage for the schools I was applying to.
I knew I had to take the help of admission consultants to help me structure the entire process and more so maintain the discipline and focus through the application process.
I was aware of MBACrystalBall as I was regularly reading their informative blogs and detailed success stories - not just testimonials - from earlier clients. When I contacted them I was impressed with their style of working and honesty. Compared to other consultants I talked to MBA Crystal Ball stood out in 2 ways - providing extremely honest feedback and no spoon feeding. This was exactly the kind of mentoring I wanted.
Final results. Out of 3 applications, I was rejected by one, waitlisted by the other and got into the third (INSEAD) with scholarship.
My consultant supported me even through the rejections, and helped me focus on the remaining ones. That gave me the best result.
My advice for applicants - Choose the business schools based on your own research, fit and do not not apply purely based on rankings.

Got into NYU Stern with full ride! Wasn't feeling super confident with 2.5 years of experience and me having an overrepresented profile but I guess relevant work experience and clear short-term / long-term goals really go a long way. Extremely thankful to MBA Crystal Ball for all the insights and guidance.
