Shantanu Dingre got into INSEAD MBA with admitStreet's guidance

Shantanu Dingre

INSEAD MBA admit

Arvind (admitStreet) is the reason I got into INSEAD.

Arvind works on the application process as if it is his own application.

He listened to all my stories and journey very patiently. Through brainstorming sessions, Arvind asked me the right questions, which guided me to think in a particular direction. These helped to get my best stories out. Subsequently, his comments on the essays and his ability to view the application holistically (from the AdCom’s lens) was extremely helpful.

We did 10 versions of my INSEAD essays and he never said anything. Usually, in my discussions with other people in the businesses, they mentioned only 3 versions and every feedback after that would be charged additionally.

This post goes beyond words and whoever is reading this: if you want somebody who would put effort in understanding you and put together a great application, then admitStreet is the right place for you.

I had an excellent experience with Arvind (admitStreet).

For me, getting guidance from an alumni for my target school, as well as someone who had gone through the journey of working in consulting in my target geo was an ideal fit. Arvind’s structured approach towards writing the essays, as well as school-specific insights on what aspects to focus on helped me align my journey to what each college values. 

Working with Arvind was effortless and easy. His knowledge about B-schools in Europe was amazing and his understanding of how to go about targeting each school made my life so much easier.

I highly recommend admitStreet for anyone planning to go for an MBA, and can personally vouch that Arvind and the team will help you present the best version of yourself to the B-schools!

Arvind helped me to go through introspection in making a list of all the important events in my professional and personal lives, and used them to showcase my skills. He also helped me structure my stories and present them in a compelling way to win the heart of the admissions board.

As I was keen on pursuing an MBA program strong in policy and strategy, I had my heart set out on McDonough, Georgetown and Olin WashU. With the help of an experienced guide, I managed to get admits from both, including a scholarship.

These schools are the perfect fit for my career goals and I don’t think I would have been able to make the application so convincing without Arvind’s help. Thank you once again!

Given my age (40) being above the average age of most applicants, Arvind helped me identify suitable MBA programs and played a major role in shaping my perspectives and aligning my Navy experiences and focus on tangible outcomes.

Not to forget the innumerable calls I would have made to Arvind to update him with the slightest developments, get his feedback and realign based on his advice.

I am grateful for that.

I couldn’t have had a better mentor and friend to guide me through the process. Arvind was super thorough, patient and accommodating.

Even when I was confused initially, Arvind’s guidance in our first brainstorming session was invaluable. He emphasized the importance of focusing on what I wanted from my MBA program rather than getting distracted by external noise. This perspective on how well my goals can be met by the program, helped me prioritize programs based on a structured approach through my discussions with Arvind.

When I was preparing for interviews, I needed structure amidst the chaos, and that’s precisely where Arvind helped. Through mock interview sessions, he coached me on how to structure my answers effectively, ensuring they were impactful and delivered the necessary punch.

In short, Arvind’s advice proved invaluable in going through the brainstorming (school selection) and interview process, and eventually securing admission to IESE and Oxford.

I worked with Arvind to prepare for my Oxford MBA interview. Arvind had a clear understanding of the school’s interview process and provided comprehensive feedback during the mocks.

I could see a lot of improvement in my content delivery and answer structure between the first and second mock, and a lot of that credit goes to Arvind.

I felt well prepared and relaxed on D-Day and managed to convert the interview. I am grateful to Arvind for his guidance and recommend AdmitStreet for their mock interview support.

Siddhant got into IE business school

Siddhant Majarekar

IE MBA admit

I had interacted with a couple of consultants before who before understanding everything wanted to jump right into something that I was skeptical about. But with Arvind, I had proper breathing space and the manner in which he set up the entire process keeping in mind the timelines and then following a backward planning approach worked quite well for me.

Also, having worked with students and himself being an HEC alumni, Arvind understands the pulse of the Adcoms quite well, which is something rare.

Throughout the process I felt I was in safe hands and working with the best in the business.

HEC Paris MBA admit

Arvind is an amazing mentor! His guidance throughout the interview process for HEC Paris MBA was pivotal behind me securing the admit. Being an alumni himself, Arvind exactly knows what the school looks for while evaluating candidates.

Arvind’s methodology is straightforward and apt. He assessed me through a mock interview, which was pretty much on the lines of what I experienced during my final interviews. Before the mock interview, he provided some tips regarding how to prepare/execute the 10-minute ppt, and what kind of basic questions I should expect. After the mock, he also provided detailed written notes and suggestions for improvement over email which helped me fine-tune my preparation.

Arvind was always available to talk regarding any kind of questions and challenges. He made me believe in myself and motivated me throughout the process. His personal attention and accurate preparation tips were the main reasons behind me successfully converting my dream school!

LBS MiF admit

By the time I reached out to Arvind, I had spoken with many admissions consultants across geographies and experiences. But Arvind’s sincerity, calmness and honesty flowed through on our very first conversation. Applying to my dream school (LBS) with a GMAT waiver and with work experience & age above the class average, Arvind understood what I was looking for and given my background, what would best work for the school.

Arvind is extremely pleasant to work with and flexibile. His approach was practical – he did not over promise, was always available and provided excellent feedback in no time. If, like me, you’re looking for a quality premium service that is affordable – hands down, it’s easily Arvind!

Vineetha Rebecca

Rotterdam School of Management MBA admit

Doing an MBA is a dream for many, but people often are not able to answer why they want it and whether they are ready for the hurdles that come with it. I was one such aspirant and Arvind challenged me on that front to really think about what I wanted from getting an MBA. Here is where our interaction began.

Arvind took the time to understand my profile, whereby I had a good academic background but was low on work experience and GMAT score for the B-Schools I was intending to get an admit in. All in all, he was very supportive through the entire process and I’m happy that I’ve gotten an admit at Rotterdam School of Management for MBA, thanks to his prompt support.
