“I learned about Amit through a friend when I was looking for an experienced consultant with a good M7 success rate. Amit’s motivational style and honesty during our introductory call made me go with him. In hindsight, it was my best decision during my application process.
From day 1, Amit was very structured in the process. We started with charting out 30+ of my life stories. In our initial calls, he laid out the different stages of the process and the high-level timelines involved for each stage. This visibility and structure not only boosted my confidence but also helped me plan to juggle my work responsibilities and application deadlines. The tailored Career Narrative we crafted made me stand out and make very strong case in front of the Admissions Committee. For INSEAD, Amit worked very closely with me for 3 days before the application to make sure that the near impossible deadline is met.
Amit, not only, helped me for the essays and applications, but also, made sure that I am prepared with every kind of interview process – be it interviews by alumni, admission committee or group discussion process of Wharton. We spent a lot of time on my resume, too. He was never shy of starting from scratch if we were not satisfied with a particular draft. Amit helped me polish my application to make it more precise and compelling.
Going beyond Applications, Amit also guided on Pre-MBA internship options to make the most of my time at Business School. He explained in detail what I could expect from recruiters coming on campus for internship hiring and how doing the right Pre-MBA internship would make a huge difference. He also explained Post-MBA career paths and the strategic choices I should make to set myself up for my dream job.
What sets Amit apart from other consultants is the motivation which he provides to his candidates. Applying to universities is a long and tiring process. Amit makes sure that he acts as a friend who guides you during each step of the process. I am confident I’ll be in touch with Amit and keep getting guidance from him long after I’ve finished my MBA.”

It was only because of his guidance and encouragement I was able to build confidence in my profile and able to apply and get admitted to some of the top-ranked schools.

“I connected with Amit through an email notification I received from m7admit. I was convinced that I should work with him right after our initial discussion, mainly because of his in-depth knowledge specific to each program and his incredibly easy-to-talk-to personality. From the very start, Amit helped erase all my doubts, reassuring me step by step with a dedicated interest in helping me succeed. Working with Amit bolstered my confidence and provided a larger sense of context regarding the applicant pool. He also constantly pushed me to aim for better-ranked schools.
Amit knew exactly what we had to do with all the information and personal/professional stories I was sharing with him. There were weaknesses that we had to address, but Amit helped me develop a strategy that made my strengths as strong as possible. He also used several anecdotes to position my FinTech background and swimming experiences in a way that they greatly added to the uniqueness of my candidacy. I had no idea that we could use stories from various parts of life to build such a compelling overall strategy! Overall, we maintained a productive rapport that also felt quite casual, as Amit in-formalized the whole process and made sure that my applications and essays reflected a strong personal narrative.
I am thrilled to have been admitted to my target school - Michigan Ross. I consider this as a “life-changing opportunity”, and I’m certain that it’s one that I never would have had without Amit’s help.”

“It was great working with you Amit. My experience during the process not only helped me get one of the dream schools i was targeting but also helped me approach story building and thinking about reader's perspective. I distinctly remember one of the instances where i was stressed and had no clue on what to highlight in one of the difficult essays. After your counselling, eventually that essay turned out to be one of the best and helped me crack the school. Appreciate your devoted time, our lengthy chat sessions, streamlined approach and valuable resources. Thanks again.
