Has anyone taken services from Arvind from Dream School Admit ??? : Ask Admissions Consultants - Page 2

It comes as no surprise to anyone who has commenced the journey towards pursuing MBA that the entire process is extremely taxing and nerve-racking. The GMAT exam takes so much out of you but the application process is as demanding as the GMAT exam preparation is. It needs one to do self-reflection and in-depth scrutiny of life experiences.

I spoke with many consultants during the application process before finalizing Dream School Admit. But the way Arvind guided and motivated me in our first call was extremely comforting. Unlike some other consultants who would take students only with very high GMAT scores so that their success rate is also high, Arvind evaluates the entire profile and has the ability to put together a compelling application to help students achieve their target schools.

As soon as we started working on applications, I realized how insightful all his inputs were. He goes in-depth to understand every aspect of one’s life, and the experiences that have shaped a person to have the personality and interests that one has. I was thoroughly impressed with his expertise in weaving together the experiences of a person into a string of minimum words with maximum impact. (And we all know how difficult it is to stay within the word limit!). His eye for detail and in-depth knowledge about various schools really helped me highlight the strengths of my profile bringing out the best application possible.

What stuck with me the most was that he was as thoroughly involved and invested in the process as I was. I was impressed with his work ethic as well as he left no stone unturned to help me achieve my goal. He was always there to help clarify queries (no matter the hour of the day), and he also never shrugged away with multiple rounds of iterations if needed. His commitment, dedication, experience, and expertise are the perfect blend that anyone would need in a consultant to navigate through the tough process of MBA applications. His insights and ideas were very critical at every step of this process. His insights on what the top-tier business schools look for in a candidate and his ability to highlight what a candidate has to offer to the school are unparalleled.

He soon became a mentor, a friend, and a guide which helped me ease through the entire process. With all his efforts and continuous guidance, I got an admit to Tepper business school.

I am extremely happy and fortunate to have been introduced to the DSA and Arvind who contributed immensely to my success. And I whole-heartedly endorse DSA and encourage prospective students to choose DSA as part of their MBA application journey. I am certain that DSA and Arvind will not let you down!

Applied in Fall 2020 cycle
Admits: Stern ($60k Alumni Scholarship), Ross ($20k Scholarship), Yale (20k Dean’s Scholarship), Kellogg

i found out about Dream School Admit and Arvind whilst browsing through GMAT club forums. I requested a free profile evaluation and Arvind called me back within 3 hours. It would be easy for me to write about the generic strengths of working with him but there are a few standout observations from my experience

Firstly, Arvind is the most positive person I have met. Whilst applying for your MBA one learns that it’s a confidence game and it’s easy to lose confidence in your profile and your achievements when you see how long the odds are for the top universities. Multiple other counsellors had dismissed my profile but Arvind took the time to hear me out and believe in my story. He had the risk appetite to believe in me, even when I didn’t and it reflects in our college choices and our eventual success.

Secondly, the interview preparation is extremely thorough and effective. I had 4 interviews and converted all 4 interviews into admits. It was a lot more than just learning to speak, we created a strategy which was tailored specifically for every university.

Finally, Arvind is an extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful mentor. Even beyond the specific aspects of the application, he advised me on career decisions for almost a year prior to the actual application. His approach to working on applications is methodical and structured. Despite the many anxiety induced conversations and LoR discussions, he provided clear and concise direction. I learned how to prepare an application on a fundamental level, and have used this experience in many other scenarios

I would whole heartedly recommend working with Dream School Admit and guarantee the experience will leave you with a lot more than just an admit.

Hi,

I took his services for the incoming class of Fall 2021. My results were horrible working with him as I did not even get a single T15 interview invite. Just to contrast, I already have an M7 admit this year.

1. His lack of experience clearly shows as he has only the surface level of each school, which you can get from the website.
2. His edits are needlessly convoluted, which any other good consultant would definitely avoid.

He has a fixed rate, not hourly. This is really convenient for him since he does the bare minimum work on your profile.
3. He does not provide much help editing the LORs.
4. Only a single iteration each for Essays and Resume.
5. He would pitch you about his acceptance-based rates, but he will not even work with you on ambitious colleges and would recommend working with you on colleges which would have been a slam dunk for your profile anyways.

In summary, I do not recommend working with him at all.

Hi singhstring,

I read your review and would like to connect with you to understand what went wrong. In all honesty, I don’t quite remember who you are. We don’t like to leave any loose ends or end associations on a bitter note. Please find my comments inline in bold.

1. His lack of experience clearly shows as he has only the surface level of each school, which you can get from the website. His edits are needlessly convoluted, which any other good consultant would definitely avoid - While I respect your viewpoint, the people we have helped get into Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, Haas, Kellogg, Booth, Duke, Ross, Darden, Tuck, Cornell, UCLA, Stern, Yale, LBS, Cambridge, Oxford, HEC, INSEAD and the numerous other schools across the globe will have a different opinion. You can visit our company website, Facebook page and my Linkedin Profile to read their testimonials and comments on our work.
2. He has a fixed rate, not hourly. This is really convenient for him since he does the bare minimum work on your profile. - An hourly rate is never in the candidate’s best interest because Consultants can keep extending the number of hours to complete a task. We have a fixed rate so that candidates don’t have to pay extra irrespective of the number of iterations or discussions. I’m more than happy to offer an hourly rate if that’s what candidates want.
3. He does not provide much help editing the LORs. - Completely untrue. For LORs, we focus on content and not on style since it’s supposed to come from your recommenders. But, we certainly help with it.
4. Only a single iteration each for Essays and Resume - Totally false. We don’t limit the number of iterations and don’t turn down the request for additional iterations. The candidates we have worked with will vouch for it.
5. He would pitch you about his acceptance-based rates, but he will not even work with you on ambitious colleges and would recommend working with you on colleges which would have been a slam dunk for your profile anyways - We are very candid about what we can help you achieve and what we can’t. Since we offer an outcome-based pricing model for 5+ schools, a significant chunk of our compensation is dependent on the candidate’s admission. So, we don’t provide false hopes just to make a sale. In fact, this is what distinguishes us from other Consultants.
In short, while we leave no stone unturned to help every candidate get into their dream school, it is essential to understand that the outcome is a function of several factors beyond a Consultant’s control. Despite a strong application, if there are competing profiles with a higher GMAT/ GRE score, stronger work experience and a unique academic or professional background, the scales will tilt in their favour. That said, since you say that you have worked with us, I urge you to call us and share your perspective and give us an opportunity to explain our point of view. In any case, we are happy that you have received an offer of admission from a top-tier school and wish you the best of luck in all your endeavours.

Arvind was wonderful to work with! I worked with him in 2021 when I got an admit to Wharton.

Honestly — A huge thanks to Arvind from 'Dream School Admit' for being my biggest cheerleader. I am grateful to Arvind for believing in me even when no one else (including myself!) believed in my ability to crack the dream of HSW. Thanks to Arvind's efforts and faith in my candidature, I got an admit from The Wharton School with a GMAT score of 720.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Arvind and it almost felt as though I were working with a close friend, right from the beginning. It's incredible to see how collaborative the entire MBA application process has been and there's no denying that Arvind is amongst the very few consultants out there who offer such a unique value. Arvind's structured approach combined with the flexibility that he offers to individuals is perhaps Arvind and Dream School Admit's biggest strength. Not to mention, the brainstorming sessions organized by Arvind were super helpful in preparing me for my applications and Wharton TBD.

Arvind's nuanced and friendly approach to application pushed me into applying to schools which I would ordinarily consider out of my reach given my low GMAT score. Perhaps, it's not a stretch to claim that Arvind is indeed a class apart from other consultants who refuse to even take a chance on worthy candidates in absence of a spectacular 750+ score. It was genuinely heartwarming to see how invested Arvind was in my success and believed in my story despite the odds. I would say that not only have I won a mentor for the rest of my life but also a dear friend who genuinely believes in my ability to succeed.

All this to say that if one is looking for a mentor and a friend to help them through the stress, and anxiety of MBA applications — there is perhaps, no one better than Arvind and Dream School Admit to rely on. I am in absolute awe of the professionalism and passion that Arvind displayed throughout the course of the MBA application process and I can absolutely admit that I wouldn't even have applied or gotten admitted into Wharton (oh, what a dream!) without him!

A huge thank you to Arvind for everything and I hope he continues to be the light at the end of a dark tunnel for other MBA aspirants who are told that GMAT score is a make or break. There is so much more to an MBA application than that and my Wharton admit is a testament to Dream School Admit's holistic focus in the MBA application process!

I worked with Arvind from Dream School Admit for the 2021 intake. My experience with him is summarized below:

Getting an admit to a top B school is akin to a perfect robbery! No stone can be left unturned, and more importantly, your partner in crime needs to be top-notch. Arvind at Dream School Admit is that perfect partner who will ensure you get into your Dream school. From Day 0, Arvind shared the same excitement and spring in his step which I had. Our relationship never seemed formal at any point. His strong skill set in helping me draft my essays and getting me prepped for the interview made the whole application process a Breeze! What Arvind was able to do was the impossible. I got into Darden, one of the best schools in the world that too without a GMAT! This was only possible due to the flawless application, which Arvind helped me in drafting. Go ahead with Arvind and make your dreams come true at Dream School Admit!

I started working with Arvind from Dream School Admit for the 2021 intake and am currently pursuing an MBA at INSEAD

After achieving my target GMAT score in June 2020, I was on cloud nine. I thought that a good GMAT score would automatically ensure easy entry to some of the top MBA programs around the world. There were a couple of problems that I was blissfully unaware of, however. First, I did not know about schools that would perfectly align with my requirements and goals, and second, I had massively underestimated the amount of perseverance, strategic planning, deep introspection, and luck required to succeed in the admissions journey. While researching different programs, I felt overwhelmed and I realized immediately that I needed help with identifying the right schools and then applying to them.

Finding the right admissions consultant was crucial to my chances of success, and as a result, I ended up having calls with multiple people. But the only person who showed genuine interest in my profile and matched my ambitions was Arvind. I got his reference from a friend who also, with Arvind’s guidance, was accepted into a top program in the US. The thing about Arvind is that he always encouraged me to aim high, targeting programs I would have otherwise not applied to. The process of writing the essays can be very daunting, but my conversations with him always enabled me to overcome my writer’s block and form an airtight narrative. Always available for a call, he would help me with even the smallest of questions I had and hurdles I encountered. I was delighted to be able to tap into his incredible knowledge base for more than just my applications.

2020/21 was among the toughest years for MBA applicants for multiple reasons, and everywhere folks with amazing profiles faced rejections from top schools. After 2 unsuccessful applications, it would have been easy for Arvind to recommend recalibrating our targets and aim lower, but he kept motivating me to not be disillusioned and keep targeting the best programs. And thanks to him I got accepted into the MBA program at INSEAD, one of my dream schools! Looking back, I am sure that I would not have been able to successfully navigate this arduous journey had it not been for Arvind’s constant motivation and unparalleled guidance every step of the way.

I can state with utmost confidence that in Dream School Admit, I found the perfect admissions consultant; and in Arvind, I found a mentor and a friend for the long haul.

I have worked with Arvind for the 2022 intake and have got an offer of admission from Cornell.

Initially, I was under the impression that I could get through the MBA application process by reading blogs and articles on the internet but soon enough I understood that it is not an easy process. Also, I was doubtful if I will be able to get admission because my IT Tech experience is more than 10 years. I started searching for an MBA consultant and found Dream School Admit’s contact through reviews in GMAT club. Arvind from Dream School Admit helped me through the entire application journey, providing insightful suggestions at every stage. He helped in identifying the best schools that are relevant to my experience. We had many discussions that helped me put the best version of myself out there through my resume and essays.

The way he handled my draft version of essays was amazing. Since I had many years of experience, my story contained a lot of information and I was struggling to structure it. We had several calls refining the drafts and he was always friendly, calm, and helped me in crafting my essay in a clear and crip manner. I felt confident about my story. Rather than telling the points directly, he was asking me many questions to make me understand the context of the questions and brought answers from me. I always rushed to him when the deadlines were near But he always was there and got my essays refined it even was late for him.

What I liked the most was the mock interviews we had, which made me ready to present my best self no matter what questions would come up during the actual interview. Arvind also helped in setting up a mock interview with the alumni of Chicago Booth school which helped a lot in understanding my areas of improvement. Finally, I received an admission from the Tech MBA Program at Cornell, which was the first college I applied to. I cannot thank him enough for all the support and encouragement.

Looking back, I can say for sure that choosing to work with Arvind was the best decision. He is very professional, to the point and more importantly, passionate about the work he does. I will totally recommend Arvind to anyone planning to pursue an MBA in the future.

I worked with Dream School Admit (DSA) for 2020 intake and am currently pursuing an MBA from NYU Stern. I talked to a number of consultants before deciding to go with DSA. Arvind, from DSA, is a great motivator and has a great understanding of what top Business schools look for in a candidate. He knows not only what strengths to highlight but also how to showcase your weaknesses as strengths. It was fun discussing and crafting the B school application stories with him. His tailored guidance and structured approach helped me to get an admit from NYU Stern and Kenan. Arvind is genuine, hard working and passionate about what he does and delivers upon what he says. I highly recommend Dream school admit and Arvind to anyone.

I worked with DreamSchoolAdmit for the 2020 intake and I am currently pursuing an MBA at Yale.

The MBA application process is immensely stressful and I absolutely cannot thank Arvind enough for guiding me through it. I started off on this journey completely clueless about the finer aspects of things and Arvind helped bring it all to my attention.

He has been so much more than merely an admissions consultant. Throughout this process he transitions into a friend and a mentor, churning out brilliant advice at crucial moments. His ability to weave together all the lose ends to create an airtight story is impeccable. No matter what hour of the day, he is always available to cater to the silliest of queries and sudden panic attacks. He is also very prompt with his SOP/essay draft responses and very accommodating of all the back and forth the essay writing process entails.

The patience and commitment he demonstrates towards his students is what sets us up for success. He spent countless hours brainstorming on tailored unique stories for each of my colleges, to help bring out the best aspects of my profile and demonstrate good fit with each college.
Thanks to his ability to highlight the strengths of my profile, I was able to secure an interview invite at a stretch school like Wharton, something I couldn’t even have dreamed of.
His ideas and inputs during the interview preparation phase were unmatched. From helping me prepare for case studies to developing succinct yet effective answers for situational/behavioural questions, Arvind went the extra mile to help me actualise my goals.
His valuable insights at every juncture of this process have led me to obtain acceptances from 3 top tier schools out of the 5 schools I applied to - two of which are Ivy League Business Schools!!
I had the good fortune of being able to choose between Yale SOM, Cornell Johnson and London Business School and I have no one but Arvind and Dream School Admit to thank for that!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Arvind and the Dream School Admit team to anyone who wants to pursue an MBA from a prominent university. You will receive unparalleled personalised attention that several other renown but commercial admissions consultants might not give you.

DSA and Arvind will most definitely not let you down.

I heard about Mr. Arvind (Dream School Admit) through the GMAT-club forum. I had surveyed a couple of the available consultancy services and found Dream School Admit to have a more student-oriented approach and also be an affordable choice.
I reached out to Mr. Arvind in the first week of January 2022, during the R3 of ISB admissions. I hardly had 3 weeks to submit my application. Initially, there was a concern that it’s going to be tough to come up with an effective application, especially given that I had a GMAT score of 690 and that I was a re-applicant, but once Mr.Arvind went through my profile he said that he was confident that we can make a decent attempt by the deadline ie., Jan 30, 2022. Having gone through my profile, Mr. Arvind first asked me to detail some of my experiences that can be used for the essay prompts. I shared a few of them with Mr. Arvind and he was quick to identify those experiences that could portray me in the best light. He worked extensively on the drafts for the essay prompts, coming up with multiple versions for each of the drafts. Simultaneously, he had me working on my Resume to bring out appropriate achievements. Coming from a very technical background, he helped me frame my job responsibilities in a way that AdCom can relate to. With his continuous guidance and support, I was able to finish the application well before the deadline. We were confident that I’d be shortlisted for the interview. So I asked him to share some common question prompts for the interview to start my preparations right away.
Once I was shortlisted for the ISB interview, Mr.Arvind shifted gears to help me in my preparations. He appreciated my answers but then also critically pointed out how each nuance can be used to re-iterate my personality and my career goals so that I can present myself in coherence with my application. He conducted a couple of mock interviews before my interview date. He always ensured that I was motivated and focused in my preparations through constructive feedback. Unfortunately, on the day of the interview ISB informed me that my interview was postponed to the next weekend. I grew anxious because of the long wait but he told me to stay calm and composed and take this as an opportunity to be more prepared for the interview. He graciously conducted another mock before my interview and was very sure that this time I’d be able to crack it. On the D-day, I had a very smooth and interactive interview with my panelists as Mr.Arvind covered all the bases. I was eventually offered admission in the next week by ISB.
I would strongly recommend the services of Dream School Admit/Mr.Arvind for anyone who is looking for a consultant who can spend time patiently with his student to understand their story and help them achieve their goals. His approach to the student is very professional and amicable. I was fortunate to have acquainted with him.

Posted from my mobile device

I did.
I was preparing for GMAT when I started searching for admission consultants online. I came across Arvind and then had a discussion with him over call. My target school was ISB.
Arvind went through my CV , and said I had a good profile but the gap could be a potential deal-breaker. But he said if I can manage to get an interview call , the chances of selection would be high. I decided to go ahead and started working on my ISB application with Arvind.

During the preparation Arvind was always very helpful. He would always respond promptly whenever I called or messaged. He was able to articulate his thoughts very well and beautifully portrayed my strengths in the essays and LOR.
Arvind also clearly portrayed the need for an MBA for me in the essays (also during interview preparation) by connecting my past experiences with my future goals.Arvind's humility, clarity in thoughts and ability to link the candidate's profile with the expectations of the Adcoms is commendable.

Towards the end Arvind had become more of a friend than a consultant - with whom I could discuss my goals in general. I got the interview call from ISB. Arvind also helped with the interview preparation.Two months after the interview I got the final admit from ISB Hyderabad.

I am thankful to Arvind for his constant support in this journey.

My MBA admissions journey started with quite an unpleasant experience with another consultant. With one bitter experience already behind me, this time around I ensured that I spoke to as many consultants as possible before deciding to onboard with another one.

I spoke to at least 7-8 admissions consultants over a week and then decided to go ahead with Arvind from Dream School Admit. What made Arvind from Dream School Admit stand apart was how approachable and easy-to-talk-to he was. He immediately made me feel at ease and gave me very clear and unbiased advice/thoughts on how to approach the entire admissions process. He also showed a lot of confidence in my profile that I immediately felt a boost to my own confidence level!!

The first college I worked with Arvind from Dream School Admit was IMD Switzerland. In the essay writing stage, I was immensely impressed with his insights on what the admissions committee is looking for in a candidate and his ability to bring the essay story alive. The brainstorming discussions on the answers were amazing. He kept pushing me to think in the right direction and the final output was a 1000x better version of my initial draft. He was also extremely attentive to the minutest detail on every aspect of the application – from every CV point to LOR to even the right picture to upload on the college portal – he hand held me at every step.

In the interview stage, he prepped me for every single question imaginable. I had numerous calls with him for getting the answers ready for the interview and he gave me invaluable advice at every step. He also proactively put me in touch with a few other candidates who had recently been through the process so that I could prepare myself in every way I can. I remember a night before the interview I was an absolute nervous wreck.. I appreciate the fact that he spent almost an hour just giving me the confidence to sail through the next day.

I didn’t just crack the interview but was awarded the Forte Women Scholarship – which is given to just 2 female candidates in the batch. I completely owe that to Arvind from Dream School Admit and couldn’t have done it without him.

Thank you once again , Arvind from Dream School Admit

Hi guys, I had a great experience working with Arvind on my ISB application. Throughout the process he was patient in understanding the nuances of my profile, its strengths and weaknesses, and suggested a strategy even before I subscribed to the service. He helped me craft my story, guided me on how to highlight certain key points and helped me give the overall profile a logical structure and flow. He was upfront about what would not work and along the way made me understand how to build a strong profile.

There are a number of things that stand out with Arvind. His response is quick and he spends an adequate amount of time with the candidate. He helped me immensely during my interview preparation also. He gave his honest feedback on my mock interviews and helped me structure my answers. I would highly recommend Arvind to anyone who wants to get into their dream business school

Yes, sign up with Arvind from Dream school admit. Do not hesitate. Arvind is one of the strongest arsenal you can have when you are applying for a B-School.

I was one of those clueless guys who did not know where to start when one is applying for a top tier B-School. I had just written my GMAT and my profile was all over the place. I was totally lost as to how to show a coherent strong profile to any admissions team. I had already spent countless hours on GMAT Club, Poets and Quants, and many other sites to learn as much as I can about the colleges and how to apply. But the insights that I got from Arvind was much more than any website could offer. I remember this proverb when I think of Arvind - " Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher." This is exactly what Arvind is ,a teacher who guides you through this perilous journey of getting into one of the best business schools in the world.

Arvind looked into my profile and made everything happen. He is aware of what a particular school is looking for and what skills do you have that can be mentioned in your profile for each particular school. He has up to date knowledge about most of the B-schools and chances are that he helped someone recently get through the college you are looking for. He guided me through my essays, interviews and scholarships with absolute finesse. Two things I absolutely admire about Arvind are his calmness and clear thought process.

I got accepted to IE Business School with a scholarship of 10,000 Euros. I think I have gained more from him than he has from me in all possible ways. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is applying to any top tier B-Schools.

I worked with Arvind after talking to a couple of Consultants. I thought Arvind had a good Game plan and made sure that i understood what i was doing. I wanted to rush through my process so that i didnt miss deadlines. But he told me the practical issues and made me plan effectively. Loved his professionalism. Applied for 3 T15 Programs. Got into all the three of them with Scholarships. He was patient. Made my application pop. And did a proper post mock interview analysis. From a current student to a future student, You sometimes need professional help to crack into the best programs. I thought Arvind was good.

Got into Booth, Ross and Fuqua.

Yes I took services from Dream School Admit in 2021 (started my MBA in 2022).

I wanted a consultant who would guide me more like a mentor and less like a professional essay writer who would charge for every hour and every word, and that’s where Dream School Admit stood out for me. In the very first call, Arvind listened to my entire life and career journey very patiently and asked me to write it down in my own words. As the process started, he encouraged me from the get go to aim for only the top bschools with his help. He was honestly so excited about my prospects and my story that I somehow started to believe that despite my rejections in the past, I am capable of aiming for the very best!

Arvind made sure I wrote all my essays for both Harvard and Wharton in my own words and that I had done my own fair share of research for the materials. I believe that is the hallmark of a good consultant: they help you do your best and guide you without intruding in your own process. He was patient whenever I had a different opinion or wanted to write a material in a different way. The HBS essay was edited back and forth more than 5/6 times and Arvind was patient every time I added something new or changed a part of it.

When I got rejected from HBS in R1, I wanted to aim for a T-10 school. Arvind encouraged me to not lose heart and aim for another T-3. If it weren’t for his confidence in my story, I honestly wouldn’t have believed that I had a shot at Wharton. I applied for Wharton in R2- just a few days after my delivery, and was accepted!

A great admissions consultant helps you craft your unique story in a way that nobody else can, and in that aspect, I believe, DSA is a hidden gem in the MBA admissions industry and I would highly recommend them all throughout.

Yes, I'm glad I did.

I got an admit to USC Marshall School of Business Full Time MBA with a Full Tuition Scholarship and this wouldn't have been possible without the support of Dream School Admit's team, especially Arvind.
There is a myth about good GMAT scores. I had a 770 on GMAT with 4 GPA in my undergrad and 4+ years of industry experience but none of that helped me crack through a good school even with the help of an experienced consultant. I struggled for an entire application year with immense spends and no credible outcome. I was demotivated and confused about the strength of my profile since I didn’t have any Big 4 experience or standard background in finance, consulting or accounting.
Following the sheer disappointment, I did research around consultants, attended multiple webinars and interacted with numerous professionals which is how I finally connected with Arvind. He was the only one who entertained all my queries twice for longer than 30 minutes each time before taking me onboard. In fact, I was waitlisted at UCLA when I initiated my discussion with Dream School Admit and Arvind encouraged me to convert that by reaching out to the university instead of pushing me to get onboard with him for any help. He guided me through the said process without any consultation fee. Moreover, he shared a few insights about the way Adcom thinks about profiles and those greatly helped me understand where I should channelise my efforts. Most importantly, he boosted my dying confidence in the uniqueness of my profile.
After getting onboard with Dream School Admit, I focused all my efforts towards Round 1 applications for 2022 intake, taking a 5 school package. I managed to convert 2 interviews out of 4 with the final outcome of one with full tuition from USC Marshall. I met all my application deadlines way in advance without being harrowed to the last minute to hit submit. Arvind’s turnaround time on all shared material was less than 48-72 hours. He was prompt in his response to any queries I had and made sure my experience was hassle free even though the application process can be quite exhausting.
In my opinion, Dream School’s requisite of the personality draft questions to understand the background of a candidate not only benefits the consultant but the applicant as a whole. It helped me introspect a lot about my experiences and my journey thus far. By the time I started with my essays, I was aware of my strengths in a much better way.
In all, I highly recommend working with Dream School Admit’s team to make it to your dream school. Their guidance towards the entire outlook of education abroad and career further is extremely insightful and ideal for an individual looking to pursue a life beyond home borders.

MBA admission processes are very tiring and one can easily lose their way if there isn't a dedicated person who knows the process inside out. I had contacted many consultants for help but no one was as friendly as Arvind from Dream School Admit was. While many consultants are only approachable by email, only Arvind was the one who used to be always available on calls and texts. The way he handled my apprehensions, my doubts and my concerns during the whole process was so inspiring. I still remember his pep talks and I want to give credit to his patience. Every time he took less than a day to get back to me with the edits and gave pointers on how to make it better. I also don't think I would have been so confident in my interview if it wasn't for his mock interviews. It really helped make a difference and even the panelists were shocked by my level of confidence. I would like to thank him for all his effort and support during the whole process. I am glad I chose to work with Dream School Admit for my MBA applications.

The application process was so memorable, all thanks to Arvind from Dream School Admit! I got into 10 universities with over 750K in total scholarships! All amazing universities that were just a dream not too long ago but here I am confused, overjoyed and extremely grateful. The admits from UNC Kenan-Flagler, Kelley, UCLA Anderson, Michigan Ross, Cornell Johnson, CMU Tepper, Tuck, NYU Stern, USC Marshall, and Chicago Booth could not have been possible without Arvind’s guidance, help and mentorship.
It is extremely important to pick the right consultant as your entire future depends on how well you portray yourself in those compact 300-500 word essays. I called numerous consultants desperately looking for someone to help me with the daunting application process. I made lists with the positives and negatives of each consultant but when I spoke to someone who had worked with Arvind before, I knew Dream School Admit would be the right choice for me because of the gratitude and confidence with which she spoke about Arvind, assured me that I had nothing to worry about and told me that I should just go ahead with Dream School. Just like her, I can assure anyone with 200% confidence that if you’ve stumbled upon Dream School Admit, you’re extremely lucky, you can immediately stop your search and blindly trust them with your application process and your future.
The questionnaire that Arvind asks you to fill out at the start of the process is extremely crucial in my opinion. This gives him a full picture of who you are as a person outside your grades and that is what the admissions committee is looking for too. I had so many calls with Arvind, in the beginning, to brainstorm and come up with content that was true to me. Arvind puts his heart and soul into the brainstorming sessions. He has excellent suggestions and he knows exactly what works and what doesn’t. He is always ready to do as many edits as needed until you and him are completely satisfied with the final version. He is available any time you need him. I have asked him really stupid questions about the application in the middle of the night when I couldn’t sleep due to the stress. He is always there to answer anything. His editing is amazing and he always sends the edited versions in a day or two at max. He has a very systematic approach and it makes your life a whole lot easier.
I can’t express how nervous I was about the interviews. The first time I practiced with Arvind, I didn’t know half the answers. Arvind makes sure you’re ready and fully confident and he also connected me with numerous alumni from the different schools I was applying to so that I could have a call with them before my interviews. He got me so prepared that I was off scheduling two back-to-back interviews in one night.
Arvind understands and sees your true potential, the potential that we ourselves often don’t realize. In him, I have found a lifelong friend who will always reply to my worried texts any time of the day and keep pushing me to achieve my dreams. I am forever grateful to have found Dream School Admit and Arvind in this crazy MBA journey and I hope many more get to experience this too.
