Course e-GMAT Mentorship

Instructor Rida Shafeek

Location Online

E-GMAT has been my trusted partner throughout my GMAT journey which started in November 2020 till February 2021 and then restarted in July 2022 till March 2024.

It offers an excellent product with personalized support. The product itself is amazing with the course material, scholaranium and mock tests suited for every student. The data driven insights we get during the preparation helped me gauge my ability level from time to time. It helped me charter my own path in achieving my targets.

The personalized mentorship I've received was class apart and I truly believe they went above and beyond in helping me identify my issues, provide a structured approach to addressing those issues and an unparalleled mentorship from identifying the issues to overcoming them.

At E GMAT, I felt like I was not just an account for them, but they made it their mission to help me reach my goals. There were times when I gave up and they were there to push me forward with data backed insights motivating me to reach my target.

A huge shout out to Rida for being an amazing mentor.

Applicant Lab - One stop shop to realizing your MBA dreams!!

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]

After checking out a few reviews, I tried ApplicantLab and it was the best decision. After multiple GMAT attempts and being stuck at a lower than average score for my target schools and coming from an ORM, I wanted to strengthen the other aspects of my application and ApplicantLab did exactly that!!

Applicant Lab portal provides all the resources we need and allows us to create our own narrative using those resources!! It allowed me to keep my originality intact whilst adhering to what schools are looking for.

Apart from the 1-year Lab subscription, I also took a Sanity Check since I wanted expert advice on whether my essays are conveying what I intend to convey. Carin did my sanity checks and I cannot recommend her enough!! She has been absolutely clear in her communication and critical when she needed to be. I felt that Carin wanted me to succeed and the kind of criticism she gave was absolutely needed for me to present my best self in front of the admissions teams across business schools.

Speaking about Applicant Lab, Maria has done a great job in distilling all the advice in bite-sized pieces that don’t overwhelm you. My advice would be to sign up well in advance so that you can follow through with all the advice at the intended pace. But you can also jump through modules as I did.

Out of the 4 schools I applied to (2 M7 and 2 T15), I got interview calls from 2 schools (1 M7 and 1 T15) and then got waitlisted at both schools. I reached out to Maria for advice at that time and several other times in my application journey. Maria always responds back quickly with all the necessary info and a ton of positive attitude. She has a great sense of humor which comes through in her messages also. I got off the waitlist at both the schools and will be headed to what has been my dream school all along, Chicago Booth!!

To conclude, Applicant Lab is a DIY tool with all kinds of resources at your disposal. Those resources are more than sufficient for the application, trust me!! (Resources for Resume/Essays/Video essays/Recommendation letters/Scholarships/Waitlist etc). But it is upto us to make the best use of it.

Thank you Applicant Lab!! Thank you Maria and Carin!!
