Has anyone taken services from Arvind from Dream School Admit ??? : Ask Admissions Consultants - Page 3

Yes I have and I will share my amazing experience as well.

Think of all the disadvantages that an application can have and I had most of them, if not all. I was applying in R3 (a week before the deadline) where already a substantial number of seats have gone and along with a waiting list pool, I had a less than 700 gmat score, I had lesser years of work ex in comparison with the average applicant pool, I also had a gap year. When I spoke to Arvind from Dream School Admit about all this, he was honest with me, which I appreciated the most. He said my chances were low, but we still had a shot. Arvind’s honesty and being detail-oriented will be evident throughout the application journey, if a point on your application or your interview is not upto the mark, he will let you know about it and will not settle until you come up with your best. Arvind is extremely professional, hardworking, patient and someone you can reach out to at any point. And trust me, you would want to have multiple conversations with him as it either reassures you or helps you think differently. But for me the most important thing was, I came to Arvind confused about my goals, all I gave him were things I had done in my workplace, school and college, and he was able to string it all into a story that fit together. He was able to bring direction, clarity and structure to my application, which ISB is always looking for. I did get into ISB and I am so grateful to DSA. I highly recommend it.

Yes, I have.

Arvind was an exceptional mentor and guide throughout my months-long admission process. Proved to be my biggest cheerleader, a sincere critic, and a massive knowledge bank, from GMAT prep days to the loan and Visa process post-admit.

With Arvind's help, I received an admit from Columbia Business School on my first attempt, despite having an average GMAT score for my demographic. Before working with Arvind, the consultants I spoke to were either too optimistic or negative about my candidature for CBS. However, from the first call, Arvind struck me as someone who was both realistic about managing my expectations and willing to put in the effort to reach those objectives. He quickly made my goals his own, and his commitment to my application was a testament to that.

For your consultant selection process, perhaps the most crucial thing to remember is the time spent brainstorming your career goals.

With Arvind, this bit significantly improved my resume and essays. It also gave a much better structure to my overall story, which was critical for my interviews, applications to other schools, and scholarship applications. I hadn't appreciated the value of a brainstorming call before working with Arvind and looking back, I'm happy to know that an admit from CBS is just a small part of the overall value I derived from these sessions.

I would highly recommend Arvind to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking, and knowledgeable mentor, career coach, and MBA admission consultant who is also a pleasure to work with.

I took services from Arvind from DSA and I cannot thank him enough for being my guiding light in my MBA application journey. Hands down, he is the most genuine MBA admissions consultant that you will remember for the rest of your life.

After talking to a few consultants and doing a lot of research, I spoke to Arvind. Since then, he has been my sounding board, a great mentor, and a friend for life. His positive attitude, passion for his profession, and crisp understanding of the entire process made the journey a lot easier. It is his genuine interest in knowing you and treating your application as his own, that sets him apart from the rest.

Right from understanding my background to brainstorming events to neatly binding together all the loose pieces, he has been a constant guide. His eye for detail, story-telling skills, and pragmatic approach brought out the best in my application. Often, we went through multiple iterations, and he provided constant feedback and pointed out the gaps clearly to me. He has always been available for any discussion or clarifying my questions, no matter what hour of the day. Throughout the process, he was patient and deeply invested in my application journey. For every school I applied to, he took a customized approach and mentored me to present who I am rather than to showcase what I just did professionally, and I think it made all the difference.

During interviews, he helped me with how to answer instead of what to answer, and that improved my confidence. It was the result of his efforts and faith in me that I received admission offers from NYU Stern, Darden, and ISB.

In the process, Arvind became a mentor whom you can look up to at any stage of life. Upon getting admitted, you will find yourself reaching out to him with a lot of questions.

I wholeheartedly recommend Arvind to all those aspirants who are serious about their application and have even the slightest doubt in their abilities to sail through this journey. Working with Arvind will certainly be transformational and in him, you will find a trusted mentor.

I am extremely grateful to have had Arvind from Dream School Admit by my side throughout my application journey. I didn't have an extra-ordinary GMAT score given my applicant co-hort but Arvind still urged me to apply to great schools and guided me expertly on school selection as well.
His detail-oriented approach to reach the core of my story from pre-school to pre-MBA and connecting the same with my post MBA goals was absolutely pivotal in me scoring an admit from my target school - Carnegie Mellon University (Tepper).
Arvind's iterative process for MBA Application Essays is also immensely helpful and easy on the applicant. Even though I reached out to DSA a bit late for Round 1 applications, Arvind's deliberate approach made sure nothing was rushed and he was always reachable at all hours patiently listening to and resolving every query I had, big or small.
I strongly endorse choosing Dream School Admit if you're applying to Business Schools and need someone who will go above and beyond because he is just as invested in your success as you are.

I’d been working in consulting for over 3 years and wished to pursue my MBA to transition into full-time consulting in future. After weeks of thorough research and conversations with admission consultants, Arvind from Dream School Admit caught my eye. Within minutes of our very first communication, he not only suggested to me the various schools I could apply to in my target country – Canada, but also alleviated my fears on whether I could make it to my dream B-school with a common Indian profile and a GMAT score of 710. He was so certain and assertive in his opinion that I shouldn’t settle for anything less than the top 2 schools!

Arvind was very patient throughout the whole process, even when I missed our mutually discussed deadlines due to a high workload. I was impressed by his poise and structure of communication while writing the essays; he ensured that I gave my essays a personal touch even if they were just 250 words long. Further, his mock interviews trained me for the worst and trickiest of questions such that all my anxiousness and nervousness faded away – the confidence that he showed in me kept me motivated and helped me project my best self to the interviewers. I cracked Rotman – the first and the only B-school I had applied to, with a scholarship of CAD 30,000 and a Forte Fellowship (which I didn’t even aim for and didn’t even know about!), and it wouldn’t have been possible without Arvind’s guidance. Not only that, he went beyond his role and also mentored me on how I could add more value to my profile, post receiving the B-school offer. He is simply brilliant at what he does!!

I recommend Dream School Admit to everyone embarking on this journey of selecting and applying to a B-school. Arvind’s promptness and critical analysis of your profile and interviewing skills will make sure that you stand out amidst hundreds in the rat race.
