The SECRET to GETTING INTO top BUSINESS SCHOOLS (Admissions Consultants)

[@joycesfoodhunt]

Such a comprehensive video Patrick. I've looked all over on here and people seem hesitant to share the actual $ amount they spent on consultant. Your example on going with the 2 school package also gave me the reassurance that this could work. Thanks for this!

[@PatrickPrommel]

Glad it was helpful Joyce! Pricing has probably changed since I last looked 3 years ago but shouldn’t be that far off. Many moved to courses that are cheaper with less hands on help as well. Good luck!

As an admissions consultant, I totally approve of this message! Really great and honest and very solid advice!!!

[@PatrickPrommel]

Amazing video Patrick, exactly what I was looking for. Had a consultant call with career protocol few days back, loved them but found really expensive. But I think after a lot of thinking and watching you here at the right time - I think I'm going to go with them!!

Hey Partrick, really loved the video. Have a question for you, many students really depend on scolarships to fund their MBA, and paying huge bucks upfront for consultants can be a dreadful thought, have u come across any consultant who was not so expensive but still provided u some great advice? What do you think of applicantlab?

[@PatrickPrommel]

Thanks for the comment Sohail. I never used applicantlab but looks pretty good. Consultants are expensive because you are asking for their time - they will spend many hours on your app reviewing everything and getting to know you to provide applicable advice. Lots of these consultants are packaging their advice into courses so that they don't need to spend time with you individually, allowing them to charge lower rates. Ultimately, if you don't want to spend a ton of $, then these courses/softwares are a good option, but you lose the "coach/therapist" and personalized advice. If you pair that with ChatGPT to review your essays and resume you can likely get a very good application.

Do you have to get a good score on your GMAT or GRE first before starting to get consultant? Also which one is better? I get a lot of different opinion about them

[@PatrickPrommel]

I would venture to say most people are still working on their test scores as they work with consultants, so answer is no. Also take whichever test you’re going to get a higher percentile score on (take practice tests of both). What test you take is not as important as how high you score.

Great insightful video Patrick!!! I am planning to start my process for Sept 2024 intake, also planning to hire a consultant for the same. I have one question, like when is the right time to hire a Consultant? Is July start fine for it?

[@PatrickPrommel]

I’d recommend start reaching out to them now. They may all have different recommendations of when they can start working with you, but the sooner the better.

[@sagarshah9557]

@@PatrickPrommel Thank you so much Patrick for the revert👍🏻

[@SharanG73]

We can get an 100% scholarship for the MBA programme...

[@PatrickPrommel]

Yes you can - my brother and I both got 100% scholarship offers

[@ISayThingz]

100% to any T20 or T15 is absolutely insane to me. I don’t care what school it is, as long as it ranks nice! 😂

[@VikXNebu]

Hi Patrick, could you share some advice for a working professional considering a full-time MBA?
