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.

  • Working with a consultant requires commitment and effort, with an average of five hours per week and a marathon-like mindset.
