Looking back, I’m so glad that I chose Debbie to help me with my MBA journey. During my search for a consultant, I often felt that I was not good enough for my dream school as well as my other top targets; however, Debbie had a more optimistic approach. Having been denied at my target schools once in the past, I was worried, but she was able to look at the positives and always brought it back to my strengths. Through this process of re-applying, I can confidently say that Debbie truly cares.

She is detail oriented, on time, friendly, and constructive. She is extremely accessible and easy to work with. Even though I always had a lot of questions, she was patient enough to answer them. Through her support, I was able to craft my re-applicant story and received admission at my dream school. She was so thrilled when I got in, and I could tell how much she was invested in my success.

She would even jump on Zoom calls with me to conduct mock interviews. She is extremely honest in her assessments, and that made me fine tune my approach to become a better interviewee. For those of you considering an MBA consultant, I would easily go with Debbie. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that asks me.

Truly, I owe a debt of gratitude to Debbie!

I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Debbie as my MBA consultant. From the very beginning, it was clear that she has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field, and she was able to help me craft unique and compelling application narratives that really highlighted my strengths.

One of the things that I appreciated most about working with Debbie was her personalized approach to consulting. She really took the time to get to know me as a person and understand my career goals, which allowed her to provide tailored advice and recommendations that were specifically geared towards helping me achieve my objectives. This level of care and attention is rare in the industry, and it made all the difference in my MBA application process.

Another thing that really impressed me about Debbie was her ability to identify potential challenges and obstacles before they became major issues. She has a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the MBA application process, which allowed her to provide targeted guidance and support that helped me strengthen my application in a variety of areas.

Throughout the entire consulting process, Debbie was always professional, responsive, and supportive. She was always available to answer my questions, provide feedback on my work, and offer encouragement when I needed it. Her positive attitude and unwavering commitment to her clients were a real asset throughout the MBA application process.

Overall, I would highly recommend Debbie as an MBA consultant. Her expertise, personalized approach, and dedication to her clients make her a top choice for anyone who is serious about MBA app.

I wholeheartedly recommend working with Debbie on your applications. With Debbie's invaluable guidance, I've been admitted to one of my top two choices of business schools, a top 5 institution! I've already interviewed at another two of the four schools I applied to, with final decisions still pending. I'm still in the running to be admitted to all four schools!

Debbie gave me candid and impactful advice on my personal branding - how to highlight the unique aspects of my background and show alignment with my goals. With the essays, be prepared to really engage with Debbie. She'll come at you fast and furious with seedlings of ideas, grown from the fertile soil of your unique background and story. They are merely suggestions; often it's the thinking behind her ideas that will then prompt your own inspired idea. This brainstorming process is critical to the final outcome. Trust this process and trust Debbie. It will save you much grief down the road.

Not currently working, I had plenty of time to spend not only considering and incorporating Debbie's suggestions but also independently reflecting on what other changes I wanted to make. We worked very efficiently together and generally arrived at a very polished result in three or four iterations. I feel that she adapts well to her clients - for me, as a decent writer, she focused most of her attention on structure and message, but I've seen that she also has the writing chops to refine drafts at a lower level.

We worked very closely for two of the four schools. The learnings I gained from less than 10 hours of her time then flowed naturally through the remaining two schools. Through the process I've become stronger at telling my personal stories, a skill that will help me throughout business school and beyond.

I had a wonderful experience and outcome with Debbie. She is professional and does care about the applicant—moreover, significant outcome improvement vs. the previous year's application process. One year ago, I also hired a consultant from a major firm but was not accepted into any of the three programs I applied to. One year later, with the same job and GMAT score, Debbie helped me to get accepted into one of the programs, and I was even offered a fellowship. Additionally, I got a deferral from a second program. Overall, working with Debbie has been a pleasant and rewarding experience. Strongly recommend her!!

Debbie is a very experienced and supportive consultant. She took the time to truly get to know me and my stories instead of following templates. She has a very in-depth understanding of the MBA application process and different schools' unique styles. Every meeting with her was very efficient and insightful, and she was also very timely with email responses. At the same time, preparing for application can be extremely intense and stressful; Debbie's high energy and care also made things much easier. She also went out of her way to extend support whenever needed. I would highly recommend Debbie as a consultant!

I am extremely grateful to have had Debbie as a coach throughout the application process.

I worked with Debbie through multiple months from strategizing when to apply to my top choice programs, to prepping for the GMAT and writing my application, and also working through the interview process. Debbie was a very thoughtful, strategic and encouraging consultant who gave me a lot of confidence that I was positioning myself as best as I could to the schools I was applying to. I particularly appreciated the time Debbie took to help me brainstorm and write my essays, and coach me through the interview process.

I was accepted to my top choice program, and I do not think I could have gotten there without Debbie.

I worked with Debbie for R1 2023 entry and had the best experience I could've ever asked for.

While I did have an idea of the storyline I wanted to tell, Debbie with her years of expertise found common traits from my experiences and artfully suggested themes. Many of my essays were on version 15+ and she was able to provide thoughtful feedback no matter what stage the essays were at or pulled me back when she noticed that the previous way of phrasing is more authentic. She was also a huge emotional support when I had self-doubt and cheered me on giving me confidence that what I submitted was genuine and truly told my story. The interview mocks were also extremely helpful as she right away pointed out areas I can be more articulate in which allowed me to focus during subsequent practices.

With Debbie's help, I secured interviews with 3 out of the 5 schools I applied to (all M7) and am happy to share that I received an offer to join HBS, my dream school! I could not have gotten to where I am without her help and highly recommend her to anyone seeking support!

I purchased the mbaMission 5 MBA program package, applying to Darden, Haas, Kellogg, Tuck, and Wharton Round 1. I chose mbaMission and my Consultant, Debbie Choy, through word of mouth (one of my closest college friends had used her successfully the year prior).

I most appreciated Debbie's flexibility and timeliness; whenever I submitted materials for her review, I would always receive feedback within 48 hours (often within 24 hours).

Fortunately, there was no MBA application Round 2, given I was admitted to several schools, including my top choice program. I would recommend using both mbaMission and Debbie to anyone going through the MBA application process!

I first heard about mbaMission through Manhattan. Their book on MBA admissions surpassed my expectations. After researching their consultants, I found Debbie seemed like an experienced, direct, kind, and serious professional. I was right, Debbie was great! She always delivered timely, concise, and direct feedback. Debbie was with me every step of the application process and helped me get into Stanford and MIT.

As a Stanford alumna and consultant professional, she provides key perspectives and critical information that I couldn't have found otherwise. I was impressed with how well she understood me throughout this brainstorming session; this was key to the story I shared in my essay.

I’m so glad I worked with Debbie throughout my round 1 application process. I chose to do hourly services with her so that I could get her input on different parts of the application for the 5 schools I was applying to. Debbie was fantastic. She was very strategic during each brainstorming session. She let me know the parts of my background that would really stand out and should be highlighted in the application and the best way to do so. She was also very honest with me, and I felt reassured that I wasn’t just getting buzz words from her.

I also enjoyed working with Debbie because I found her to be extremely efficient, concise, and straightforward with her feedback. Every minute with her was well spent, and I felt that I was able to drastically improve my essay with each round of edits from her. Not only that, she was very prompt in her responses to other parts of the application for each school. She made the entire application process very smooth and easy for me.

With Debbie’s help, I secured interviews to 3 of the 5 schools I applied to. I received an offer from Booth with significant scholarship and am waiting for decisions from another top 3 and top 10 school. Debbie is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
