Shantanu Dingre got into INSEAD MBA with admitStreet's guidance

Shantanu Dingre

INSEAD MBA admit ($10K scholarship)

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

He listened to all my stories 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 consultants, they mentioned 3 versions and any feedback after that would be priced additionally.

This post goes beyond words. 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.

Dhruv Khatri

Yale, McCombs & UNC MBA admits ($160K scholarships)

Arvind (admitStreet) is the reason I’m holding my Yale SOM admit! His support went far beyond just helping with essays.

On our very first call, he listened to my story, analyzed it carefully, pointed out strengths and gaps, and asked questions that helped me see my journey in a new light.

We went through 6-7 rounds of essay edits for each of the 5 schools I applied to, and not once did Arvind rush me. He gave thoughtful, detailed feedback every single time. There’s no way I could have taken my essays to that level without him.

My interview skills were average, but Arvind coached me how to structure my answers, articulate my goals, and tackle tough questions with confidence.

If you’re like me – an Indian male engineer who thought top 10 US MBA programs were out of reach, talk to Arvind. A few months ago, I never imagined making it to Yale, but today, I can’t thank Arvind and admitStreet enough. Trust me, they’re worth it!

Arnab Paul

ISB MBA Admit

From my very first interaction, it was evident that Arvind (admitStreet) cared about crafting a narrative that was uniquely mine, not a cookie-cutter story, but one rooted in my real experiences, motivations, and aspirations.

Arvind’s feedback was thoughtful and precise. He didn’t just critique, he collaborated. His strategic guidance and eye for detail ensured my ISB application was not just well-written but truly reflective of who I am and that made all the difference.

Thanks to his guidance, I was able to present my story confidently and authentically and I’m now heading to ISB, my top choice in India, with clarity on what I want and how to get there.

Overall, my experience with Arvind (admitStreet) was a game-changer, and I’d highly recommend them to anyone navigating the MBA admissions journey.

Harsh Bhardwaj

Foster & UNC MBA admits
($85k scholarships)

The support from Arvind (admitStreet) wasn’t just about completing applications. It was also about the larger goal of securing an admit, and we were willing to do whatever it took to achieve that. That trust and collaboration were key.

From the very start, Arvind was highly structured. This reduced a lot of the anxiety about missing deadlines or not being able to complete everything on time. For instance, we did 12 resume iterations, ensuring it was polished to perfection.

He always maintained a sense of calm and positivity, which really helped in reducing anxiety. Instead of dwelling on setbacks, we focused on what was in our control. That mindset made all the difference, and resulted in admits from Foster and UNC KF, with scholarships.

Working with Arvind not only helped me understand the specific nuances of HEC and the application process, but also strategize on how best to position myself.

He helped me address instances where my answers didn’t align with the question, offering actionable feedback.

Adhiraj Chandel

INSEAD & Oxford MBA admits ($45k scholarships)

One of the standout advantages of Arvind (admitStreet) is their deep understanding of the INSEAD admissions process. Arvind knew exactly what the INSEAD admissions committee looks for in prospective students.

Arvind helped me prioritize information and structure my essays to create maximum impact. Seeing the ‘before’ and ‘after’ version of my essays underscored the importance of having a seasoned expert in your corner.

This level of insight and expertise is something you can’t put a price on when navigating the intricacies of a top-tier business school application.

Anirudh Chitturi

Georgetown McDonough & Rice Jones MBA admits ($80k scholarship)

I would like to state that if not for Arvind, I don’t think I would have gotten admits from Georgetown McDonough & Rice Jones. I loved the personalized approach Arvind takes in the process.

Unlike other consultants, Arvind encouraged me to freely express my thoughts in my essay drafts which allowed me to fully express my thoughts and story.

He ensured I understood how to be authentic, present myself effectively, and highlight key points. This helped me gain confidence in my story and present it well to the admissions committee.

Jegyasa Gupta

IESE & Oxford Saïd MBA admits w/ scholarship

I couldn’t have had a better mentor and friend to guide me through the process.

Even when I was confused initially, Arvind’s guidance was invaluable. He emphasized the importance of focusing on what I wanted from my MBA rather than getting distracted by external noise. This perspective helped me prioritize programs.

When I was preparing for interviews, I needed structure amidst the chaos. Through mock interviews, Arvind coached me on how to structure my answers, ensuring they were impactful.

In short, Arvind’s advice proved invaluable in 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.

Govind ISB Admit

Govind V

ISB admit

admitStreet played a huge role in shaping my application. Arvind was personally involved end-to-end through my process, and also put me in touch with ISB alum who worked with me 1:1 on the essays. The brainstorming sessions didn’t just help me write essays—they made me introspect deeply and uncover impactful stories I hadn’t even considered.

What I loved most was how patient the admitStreet team was. They really took the time to understand me as a person and pushed me to dig deeper and identify key anecdotes. Their honest feedback and structured 1:1 guidance helped me bring out the best in my application which led to securing the ISB admit as a reapplicant.

Neeraj Bodade

HEC Paris and Oxford Saïd MBA admits

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 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!

Swetabh

Georgetown McDonough and Washington Olin admits with USD 100K scholarships

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!

Nikhil Perule

ISB MBA Admit

I would like to thank Arvind (admitStreet) for all the support throughout. He has truly been a one-stop solution for all my queries, no matter how small.

For the essays, Arvind used to nitpick a lot of things, saying, “No, this word does not look good, let’s think about something else.” The nudges were great.

After I was shortlisted, we had a mock interview, which helped me understand how to structure answers, what level of detail to give, how to manage time and pauses. He also arranged a mock with an ISB alum, which gave me an insider’s perspective. 

So yes, I believe Arvind (admitStreet) played a significant role in my application journey.

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.

Aditi Raman

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 doesn’t break your bank – hands down, it’s easily Arvind!

Vineetha Rebecca

Rotterdam 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.
