I'll add on thing as a criteria for your decision about an Admissions consultant to go with:

Remember, ultimately the application is about YOU. The best consultant has the ability, experience and METHOD to transform your experience and background into a compelling and unique brand story will stand out to AdComs.

From our perspective, it comes down to how the process is started. A detailed and systematic multi angled brainstorm of your background from every angle relevant to AdComs is always our starting point. Within the first 2 days, the process has tremendous momentum, a higher level of confidence (you) and a trove of modular content for every element of the application (resume/CV, essays, recommenders etc.)

Try it out in a FREE first Brainstorm Session with us. You'll see the difference to your momentum immediately.

I think that nowadays as we have access to any kind of information the admission process shouldn't be so difficult, but unfortunately, this isn't true. However, thanks to many services that help us get into the desired university. I was helped with my Personal Statement as I didn't know what aspects to take into consideration and what to focus more on, as I really wanted to get noticed. I don't what I would have done without such services.

MIM-ESSAY is the WORST consultant ever.

You need to first ask yourself why you need a consultant in the first place. Consultants do not have any magic pills that will make your profile charming. It’s the hard work you have done over time that will land you acceptance from your dream colleges.

My experience with MIM-ESSAY.

I took their paid service worth 46,000 for 2 colleges for the MEM(Masters’ in Engineering Management) program. And to date, I believe it’s the worst mistake of my life. I think you should not give a single penny from your hard-earned money to any of the consultants, they are the worst thing in the world. They are here just to milk money. I was under stress the whole time during my application procedure as I could not believe that I paid such a hefty amount just to edit my resume and SOP.

The service they will provide is just to edit your resume and SOP with a little bit of insight like what to add and what not which I believe you can easily get to know with a simple google search as thousands of people are providing all these materials online free of cost. After you are done with your application they will not even care about replying to your messages. You will try contacting them they will reply in days and will ask you to check their CRM portal every time if you ask any questions to them. They will say everything is there on their portal, then you will think I have just paid to access their portal. They will hardly give you any advice. Please make your decision sensibly.

I heard from one of the VISA officers that “I don’t understand why people in India go with the consultants as all the application filing is such an easy process”. The consultant makes it look like it’s not an easy process so that they can charge hefty money from you. If you have a good profile I don’t believe anything in the world can stop you from getting into your dream college, if you don’t then even a consultant can’t do anything.

So, my advice would be if you want to go with any consultant go with either IDP (as they are free) or lead scholar they charge very small amount like 100rs so, that you don’t regret in future.

ALL the Best.

It was really bad, i would recommend if you have that kind of money to spend. Spend it on a company that is vested in your application process. They will take the application fees and arrange only 1 expert call, after that even if you want they won't setup another call as they have no control over the consultant.
Over and above that they have a very weak team of associates who will be assigned to you. They will end up delaying things and you will have to run after them to get things done.

So a clear NO, for them as I felt I wasted my money and I ended up doing all the work. I could have done the same thing without any consultant's help.

Was a pretty seamless experience for me.
Had taken their pack for 4 schools, and have already received 2 admits out of the 4 I applied to, waiting for the last 2. (I applied in R1)

The consultant was pretty helpful, he was an alum from my target school and we had pretty detailed discussions on my profile, strengths, and what really I should be highlighting – was helpful in busting some ideas that I thought were unique to my profile, but apparently were not.

The content discussion calls for each school were also pretty productive and give you a very good idea of how to approach essays and what to write especially in your first draft.

I believe we did about 4-6 revisions for each school here, they did assist me until I was satisfied with the same.

The counsellors were pretty helpful and were there to help me with queries, avoided missing a few deadlines coz of timely followups – so no complaints there.

Here please note that it’s not a done for you service, they guide you and assist you. but you need to put in a fair number of hours.
I had no problem with the same, coz I wanted a personalized application and not a done-for-you template approach – so I was pretty cool with that, and at the end the results speak for themselves.

I have admits from LBS and Insead, awaiting HEC will then decide which to take.
So am pretty happy with the results, and would definitely recommend them if asked.

Have been working with them for the past 3 weeks now and am targeting round 2 deadlines.

On my side, I did do my due diligence before signing up, went through multiple of their YouTube reviews (which I feel are more legit) they also shared multiple reviews of their current and past admits as well

I also got some good referrals from some acquaintances of my Gmat class so all in all it was pretty positive and I decided to move ahead.

Overall I'm pretty happy, the consultant is responsible and knows what he is talking about, have finished 2 schools and now starting out on 3rd, ive had about 3 calls with her so far.

The team is also helpful and gives advice when needed,
its not instant, but replies take a few hours which I believe is normal – I have friends working with other firms which are way worse.

I had about 7 rounds of edits on my first schools essays
For the second one we did about 5, by then they were pretty good.

All in all I am pretty content with my decision to hire them
Response time can be a tad bit better, but its not a big deal as I get all responses in a reasonable time frame

So yes, you can definitely go for them.

P.S – Rather than believe me or any person online, do your own due diligence, ask questions, and check multiple sources – that’s the best way to go about it

I used MiM-Essay for my MBA applications and honestly, they were a big help. The team really understood my background and helped me polish my essays. It felt more like talking to a friend who knows a lot about B-school admissions.

Their approach was personalized and they were always available to answer my questions, no matter how small. The feedback on my application was constructive and insightful, helping me present my best self to the admissions committee.

I'm thrilled to say that I got into my first-choice school, and I'm not sure I could have done it without MiM-Essay's guidance. For anyone looking for support with their business school journey, I definitely recommend them!

Based on my experience, I would recommend MIM-Essay for anyone pursuing a MIM degree.

I signed up with them for my R1 Application for Uk schools- i had gotten their reference from a college senior studying at HEC, and i particularly liked the way they analysed my experiences and suggested strategies to enhance my application. Even the brainstorming session with my consultant Anubhav was very insightful and helped me finalise my mix of schools - for example they helped me narrow down on the UK and eliminate other EU countries like France, coz of my career focus on consulting.

Other highlights were their application dashboard, the number of edits they offer and the mocks they took (this was especially useful)

Throughout my application process, the team at MIM Essay was very diligent in providing regular updates and feedback. Eventually, I got my admit into all my top choices (LBS, LSE, Imperial and counting) - I am currently looking at scholarships with their help.

So I would definitely recommend them at anyone looking to target a top Business school abroad.

Hi so first of all, we never found someone by this name, hence could not verify the authenticity or claims of this person, and hence verify any truth to anything mentioned above
hence we had chosen to ignore the same

That said to close the loop its better to set the record straight and answer the things mentioned by the said person

The only way to get into any good college is effective brainstorming to understand your strengths and weaknesses, knowing what the schools want and then via multiple rounds of revision put the same effectively in your SOPs and Essays
To that end we do brainstorming call, essay analysis calls, share sample essays and offer unlimited rounds of revision until both you and your consultant are happy with the final product
Essays are complicated, they need effort and brainstorming - if you are under the assumption that just because you pay a consultant they will write some thing for you and you don't have to put effort, that wont really work - as schools can check a template based approach from miles away - and can reject you in an instant on the basis of the same.


Please note even before you write the first draft you have had calls with our experienced consultants and we have ideated what to write personalized to your profile - I am sure a google search is a paltry comparison to the same.

While a lot of consulting firms including the ones you mentioned, deal with tier 2 and 3 schools and do a done for you approach - its simple because they deal with low-competition schools which are extremely easy to get into and give commissions to these said consultant to push you towards them (hence you can imagine how "competitive" they would be)

We are not one of them, for the simple reason that we believe if you are planning your masters/MBA it only makes sense to do it from a tier 1 schools, which requires a lot of personalisation as they are completely based on merit.

For support on queries, we have a group that's made for you which includes your consultant, you counsellor and your content expert - any message would be responded to within a respectable time frame of within 1-6 hours.
Any lastly if you faced issues all you have to do is escalate it and the founding team will themselves work on resolving the same

Re: Experience with MiM Essay [#permalink]
I had a great time using their services for my MBA applications.

The process was very well structured, with the brainstorming call as the first step, my consultant Sheridan was pretty supportive and we had a detailed discussion on my job experiences, past projects and extracurriculars, to flesh out the strengths we want to focus on and what weaknesses to avoid.

Another awesome thing they did was help me pick the right schools. They looked at what I've done, what I like, and what I want to do in the future. They suggested the best schools for me. This saved me so much time and let me focus on the most important schools.

Writing applications, especially essays and LORs, can be tough, but it was easier with their help. Vanshika was my writing POC and gave me great tips on how to make my stories better. They also have this cool online place where I could easily upload my documents. It was simple to use, and I could see how my application was doing and talk to the experts easily.

Overall, I'm really happy with the help they gave me, currently awaiting hearing back from schools for the interview round. Fingers crossed.

Re: Experience with MiM Essay [#permalink]
I recently went through the process of applying for a MIM program and I know how challenging it can be to find the right admission consultancy. I talked to a lot of people before zeroing in on them and it was a good call as I went on to have a great experience.

First off, if you're looking for guidance on your MiM application. Their team is very experienced in this field. I found their approach very student-friendly and modified to individual needs. The brainstorming sessions with me were innovative. We had several in-depth discussions about how to effectively showcase my strengths and experiences in my application. This included crafting a compelling SOP, drafting essays and putting together strong LOR.

What I really appreciated was their attention in detail. The consultant helped me in selecting schools that matched my profile and career aspirations. This was crucial because it ensured that I applied to programs where I had the best chance of admission. (namely LBS, LSE, HEC, Insead and ESSEC for me)

Overall, the process was very smooth starting from application , arranging calls, follow ups, exchange of documents, tracking method was easy and efficient. It's like having a personal assistant for your entire application process.

I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot esp if you are targeting top schools. Good luck with your applications!

Re: Experience with MiM Essay [#permalink]
If you're planning to apply for a top MIM program and are looking for some guidance, then MiM Essay is definitely a good call. They played a significant role in my application journey. Right from the start, I felt comfortable working with MIM Essay. My consultant, Aditya, was really approachable and invested time in understanding my career goals and aspirations. He was excellent in guiding me through the entire process.

During our discussions, he helped me reflect on my life's key moments, which was extremely helpful when writing my essays, Statement of Purpose, and recommendation letters. It was all about presenting my story in the best possible way in my application. What really stood out for me was how they assisted me in choosing the right schools to apply to. We considered top institutions like HEC Paris, Insead, ESSEC and LBS – all aligned with my profile and career objectives. This guidance wasn’t just about listing names; it was a thoughtful process to ensure I had a higher chance of acceptance at these prestigious institutions.

For anyone uncertain about seeking help from MIM Essay, I highly recommend giving them a try. Their success in helping students, coupled with their genuine care and professionalism, makes them an excellent choice. Especially if you're aiming for top-tier programs can be a great asset. Good luck with your applications!
