I am going to Chicago Booth!! This has been my dream for 3 years and thank you so much for making this happen. Through dozens of rejection letters, finally it has come to this. And it would never be possible without you, your support, your patience and your wisdom!

Ashish worked with me on my application for various schools as part of service package. He was recommended to me by my friend who had worked with him on his IMD admission process. Ashish always has great things to add during a conversation and also honest with his feedback which does help to be real with the process. Ashish had great insights and was always willing to provide candid feedback. I really don’t think IMD would have been possible without insights and assistance from Ashish. The thing I was most impressed was that he is always accessible unlike most I have seen before. I highly recommend folks to work with him.

Ashish has been incredible during my journey of MBA application process, being a senior executive I would hardly get time to focus on my applications. However, despite all the time pressure I thank Ashish much for sending the essays back to me so quickly, definitely feel relieved to turn in my application hours before the deadline! I am still waiting to hear back from schools, and positive that I will make it through. The process of self-reflection, of digging deeper (thanks to your questions Ashish), really helped and I couldn’t have done it without your valuable help.
Applicant, Copenhagen Business School ’18 MBA, Denmark
Ashish is an excellent collaborator and resourceful when it comes to B-School applications. He is blunt, constructive in his feedback and ethically sound. I had a non-traditional profile and Ashish explained me well that MBA isn’t just a program for business professionals, it’s a platform for you to be business ready irrespective of the profile or professional background you have. He is a great sounding board, with extensive experience from which he draws to bring out he best in you. I would highly recommend him.
