In this conversation, Harold Simansky and Gavriella Semaya discuss how to choose an MBA admissions consultant and the qualities that make a consultant effective. They emphasize the importance of finding a consultant who works well with you and pushes you to elevate your application. They also address common questions about whether a consultant needs admissions experience or needs to have attended the schools you're targeting. They highlight the value of consultants who have strong writing and MBA backgrounds. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the level of commitment and effort required when working with a consultant.

Takeaways

  • Choose an MBA admissions consultant who works well with you and pushes you to elevate your application.
  • Admissions experience is not necessary for a consultant, but strong writing and MBA backgrounds are valuable.
  • A consultant does not need to have attended the schools you're targeting; they need to understand you more than the school.
  • Working with a consultant requires commitment and effort, with an average of five hours per week and a marathon-like mindset.
