"I worked with ReachIvy.com on my applications and the experience working with the team was amazing. I got invited by 2/4 desired schools in the top 10. The various sessions in the application cycle give you the much-needed confidence to approach your applications.  Thanks for being part of and supportive of my journey. You Guys have played an important role in helping me learn many things. Vibha - " Your mock interviews were intimidating, but they are the game changer, thanks :)".. Heading to M7 this year!!

"My 100% success rate is proof enough. ReachIvy was instrumental in helping me get an MBA offer from my dream school. I was sure I wanted to attend Said Business School (University of Oxford) and hence, signed up for the 1 college application package that comprised brainstorming sessions and unlimited essay edits. My ReachIvy expert was absolutely brilliant – over two lengthy calls, she evaluated my profile end-to-end and designed the content framework for 7 essays and 1 CV. Each essay, however small, was given due importance and discussed thoroughly in detail. I used to bombard my ReachIvy expert and the editors with follow-up questions continuously while writing my application and they were always patient and happy to respond at the earliest. Some essays even took 5-6 rounds of editing but the ReachIvy team ensured that the final product was perfect and delivered comfortably within my deadline, even though I was extremely late in submitting the initial few drafts. Coordinating over video or voice calls was fairly efficient and the manuals provided on Box and the ReachIvy website were great tools to understand the ground rules and kickstart my application. I decided to apply for the MBA program pretty late, so in case you find yourself in a similar time crunch, ReachIvy is your best option. I'm certainly happy that I chose them, my 100% success rate is proof enough!"

"Extra Mile of Support. I contacted ReachIvy for the first time in July last year. I had approached them for a counseling session but couldn’t manage to schedule one until late November. I was preparing for my GMAT and wanted to apply to ISB R2. Though I started only 2 weeks before the deadline, the ReachIvy staff and counsellors helped me complete my counselling session, brainstorming session, and complete form by going the extra mile to support me. I had also signed up for interview prep and Madhav helped me through multiple sessions and enabled me to perform well in the interview. Though I couldn’t make it to ISB, I made it to the waitlist. This year, I contacted ReachIvy again during June to apply to ISB in R1. I started with a ding analysis and Grishma helped me clearly identify the gaps in my profile that needed to be bridged to have a higher chance of success. She very clearly articulated things I needed to do on my professional, academic, and personal front. She clearly defined the importance of each of these elements and suggested multiple activities and tasks that I can take up. When I started with my form this year, my brainstorming session was with Shyam. What I liked was that he was absolutely aware of our discussion from the last time (which was around 10 months back) and used the hour most productively to clearly focus on things we needed to put in the application to crack it this time. Also, the essay editors were very quick and clear in their feedback. Post this I got an interview call and Ameya helped me through 3 sessions to prepare me well for the interview. With his experience, he first focused on things he knew would be important and then on things I wanted to prepare for. The interview prep I think was the key to cracking it this time. The interview manual and questionnaire which are too exhaustive help you prepare robustly for anything that can come up in the actual interview. This boosted my confidence a lot. The best thing about ReachIvy is that the complete team (counsellors & staff) are at your service. They take the pain to go the extra mile to ensure the student’s success. There were many times when I had a tight timeline and they scheduled sessions to my availability. Overall, working with ReachIvy has been a pleasure and I would recommend it to everyone who is aiming to a good school."

"Structured and guided approach. Applying to business school was a daunting and scary process; I did not know where to begin and if my profile was ready to apply this year. I was researching schools and got overwhelmed and decided to work with a counselor to make the process more structured and seamless. I signed up for ReachIvy’s full counseling package. I started with counseling and profile building where I was given guidance on which areas to improve upon. Then, I worked on college selections with a counselor after explaining my selection criteria, career goals, and other preferences. I think the most important aspect of Reachivy’s guidance for me was brainstorming and the essay writing/review process. The expert counselors really made the process straightforward and easy - and offered critical feedback to my essays. I liked that ReachIvy’s forms collected a lot of information and made you think about your skills and life experiences so as to make the most of the timed session. The counselors spent time understanding my professional goals, and how they aligned with my life experiences to craft a compelling story. If the essay wasn’t strong after the first draft, the counselor even worked with me to find the right story to tell and rework it. Working with the team through online collaboration made it easy and the turnaround of the essays really quick. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy to anyone else aspiring to go to b-school. Although you work with a different counselor every step of the process, they are each expert in their own area. The team is reliable and dedicated to each of its students. I definitely hugely benefited from having a structured and guided approach to applying to many schools within a short period of time."

"Quick and efficient online support. I signed up for the 5 Master's-application package service offered by ReachIvy. Work began with a counseling session that was focused on helping me boost my profile. A college selection session followed, through which I decided that the first 3 colleges I apply to, with ReachIvy's help, would be LBS, HEC, and INSEAD and their respective Masters in Management (MIM) programs. Working with the team at ReachIvy for brainstorming sessions and editing of essays, LORs, and resume was made easy and simple through their quick and efficient online support. The essay and LOR manuals helped a lot as well. Lastly, the RI Experts ensured that my final essays were of high quality. I would recommend ReachIvy because all 3 applications were successful in getting me an interview call. Furthermore, ReachIvy's interview prep was useful as well - I received an admit from London Business School. Overall, I would recommend ReachIvy for its all-around support throughout the application process. The fact that all their services are online is great as you can contact them from any place at any time. Working with ReachIvy on your Master's/MBA applications is a no-brainer."

Oxford Said

"Provided valuable resources. I had enrolled with ReachIvy for help with my MBA application essay and interview prep. Their structured and hands-on approach has helped me to get an offer from Oxford and an interview for Harvard 2+2 program. 2 years prior to my MBA application, I had a guidance session with ReachIvy and had worked on my profile over the years with the pointers provided then to make up a compelling resume and to be a strong MBA candidate. Once I grasped their Box folder method of working, with the prompt service provided by the team, I found it easy to work with ReachIvy. The inputs and guidance provided by their team of experts are golden. The worksheets and manuals are valuable resources to streamline your application. ReachIvy has helped me to frame my story in its best and most compelling manner. I would definitely recommend ReachIvy to anyone looking for application help!"

"Already Recommended ReachIvy To My Friends! I signed up for the 5-school reapplicant program at the end of July. Despite starting late, ReachIvy’s systematic approach and awesome editors/brainstormers made life easy for me. Starting from a profile evaluation, we moved on to select colleges. Once that was frozen, I had my first brainstorming and editing sessions. Having already worked with a consultant previously, I observed the difference in approach, knowledge, and professionalism at ReachIvy. Lastly, the interview preparation was spot on – not only in terms of deciding what to answer but also in terms of the finer aspects such as voice modulation, body language, etc. I felt a lot more confident while submitting my applications and have already recommended ReachIvy to my friends!"

"Stringent Interview Prep! My association with ReachIvy started with a counseling session. The session was extremely impactful and helped me build my profile and focus on top schools for a niche course. Further I went on to sign up for the application package. From the word 'go', the entire team came together to make my applications really stand out. The brainstorming sessions being the most crucial, strategically brought out different aspects of my profile to position my candidacy in the best possible manner. The expert essay editors helped trim off any redundant information, leaving my essays sharp and structured, each specific to the school that I was applying to. Lastly, my interview prep was the most crucial part of the admissions process; and I must admire and strongly recommend the stringent interview prep ReachIvy offers. Thanks to my association with ReachIvy I got interview invites from 4 top US Schools i.e. Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Johns Hopkins; and I am on my way to Columbia University this year! My experience of working with the team has been enormously pleasurable and I would definitely recommend ReachIvy – if you wish to bring out the winner in you!"

"Highly useful feedback on essays! ReachIvy helped me present myself in the most befitting manner by guiding me through all aspects of my application. The brainstorming session with ReachIvy counsellor uncovered essay pointers I would have missed if I had done them on my own. The feedback from editors was highly useful. I cannot thank the team enough for all their help and highly recommend ReachIvy to any college applicant."

"Wonderful Experience! I had a wonderful experience with ReachIvy. All the counselors are very well qualified. They all have gone through the application process themselves, which makes them even more suited for providing guidance. Each part of the application is carried out by a different counselor who is an expert in their own field, which helps in filling out parts which might have been overlooked earlier. The essay brainstorming (story building) is specially amazing. It takes out different instances of your life and strings it together to make a strong application, which in fact helped me get a scholarship just based on my application. I liked the ReachIvy experience so much, that I recommended it to a few of my friends as well who only have positive things to say about the experience."

"Incredibly Structured Approach!

I signed up for the 5 school application package with ReachIvy. At the first step, ReachIvy team helped in identifying which were the ideal top 5 colleges to work on in the first go. The second stage was brainstorming with the counselors. For me this was perhaps the most important and exhausting stage of the process - it was almost like therapy! - and really the most useful. The ReachIvy team was really incredible in spending the time to get to know me as an applicant, to get to know my background, my motivations for wanting to apply for an MBA and then using that information to feed into my overall application and essays so that I could tell the admissions committees a compelling personal story about myself, why an MBA, why now, what I hoped to get out of the experience and what I would add as an applicant to the School.
 
ReachIvy was incredibly structured in the approach to work and this was hugely helpful as an applicant. The online forms, while tedious to fill, meant there was a constant written record of my discussions with the team and that we could build on this in a trackable manner. Similarly, the editing process was extremely rigorous and the team was  quick to get back with feedback and further changes within 24 - 48 hours which allowed for fast progress with the application process. Personally, I found the editorial feedback on tightening my CV and essays, to keep out the fluff, stay to the point and be as precise with my expressions and words as possible a huge, huge benefit of working with the team. They were also not afraid to make me re-edit the same line multiple times to get just the right phrasing, which was a sign for me of a team that was really behind its client.
 
The videos and manuals helped in getting a better understanding of schools and general feedback and advice on the application process.
 
I would recommend ReachIvy very highly. The team is incredibly tough and demanding, but that yielded results for me and overall it was a great learning experience to work with the team. It's definitely one that has meant I am better prepped for embarking on the MBA!"

"Charted a Defined Trajectory! My study abroad needs were specific - I wanted to only apply to schools in New York. My interaction with ReachIvy started with a counseling session. The outcome of my first session left me with an overview of how I could achieve my goal. My follow-up session charted out a more defined trajectory. I then signed up for the 3 school application package. The brainstorming sessions gave me vantage points for my essays. The editors helped me structure my essays better. Each application truly portrayed me differently - according to the requirement of the school. The efforts that the ReachIvy team and I put in finally paid off as I received admits from 3 universities in New York."

"Top Notch Essay Edits. Thanks to ReachIvy’s extensive experience, well-structured approach, guidance, and feedback, I got admitted from 5 (NUS, CEIBS, IIMA, ESADE, and AMBS) of the 7 schools I applied to. Since its inception, the ReachIvy team was extremely practical and professional in its approach. The team helped me identify and choose the right business schools based on my experiences, strengths, weaknesses, and future goals. Post the school selection, my consultant helped me brainstorm my career goals and how I could link my professional and personal experiences with my future goals. The extremely friendly and interactive brainstorming session set the tone for my applications. In addition, essay edits were top notch and the team, if required, would make you edit the essay multiple times until it's impeccable. Further, the mock interview was exceptionally informative and effective. Also, it is not easy for a couple to get admitted to the same school, but with ReachIvy’s assistance my wife and I got into CEIBS (the first Indian couple to get an admit based on discussions with the Admissions Manager), AMBS and ESADE. Thank you ReachIvy for your invaluable support. I would highly recommend ReachIvy to any MBA aspirant."

"Tailor-made Applications! I attribute my recent acceptance to Oxford, HEC Paris, and IESE to ReachIvy’s exceptional guidance, feedback, and coaching throughout the entire application process. ReachIvy set the stage for a great application when they helped me choose the right business schools for me based upon my academic achievements, career progression, extra-curricular activities, and future goals. Post the college selection process, my consultant helped me brainstorm my post MBA goals and how I could tie these goals with my life experiences, and why getting an MBA is the way to accomplish them. My consultant’s open-minded and empathetic approach allowed me to communicate my true personality and genuine aspirations in a warm and comforting setting. Additionally, the essay-editing services were top-notch, providing precise and concise feedback while maintaining ‘My Voice’ throughout all my essays. The final result helped showcase the impact I had at work in addition to painting a wholesome picture about me in a professional and personal manner. Finally, when it came to preparing for my interviews, we went through almost 40 different questions that could be asked in just an hour. The mock interview was very information-intensive, and was 100% worth it – every question that was asked during my real interview was practiced in my mock interview. I would highly recommend ReachIvy to anyone looking for an admissions consultant because they take the time to get to know their clients and tailor their applications to their unique situations. Thank you for helping me realize my dream of getting into a top-tier MBA program."

"Team Par Excellence! Team ReachIvy is par excellence. Right from college selection to my applications, the guidance provided to me was top-notch. What I liked the most was the expert advice given to me for writing my essays - right from brainstorming sessions to the edits of my essays. And to top it, the ease and convenience of working with ReachIvy on their online platform made the process a lot easier. I will definitely recommend ReachIvy to all aspiring students."

"Extremely Responsive and Practical! I had enrolled in a comprehensive package of 7 schools with ReachIvy. Right from the onset, the ReachIvy team was extremely responsive and practical. After evaluating my profile, the team helped me choose realistic target B-schools. The next step was “the soul searching (brainstorming) session”. It was an extremely friendly but demanding session that really helped me showcase the strong and unique aspects of my profile in the application. The editors helped me craft the essays to perfection. Also, the mock interviews were realistic and extremely helpful. Thanks to ReachIvy, I got admitted from HKUST, CEIBS, ESADE, and AMBS. I am super thrilled to start the new journey at HKUST. I would strongly recommend ReachIvy."
