August Academy's MBA Admissions Blog

Jitesh: Banking/Marketing Communications -> Columbia

I began my conversations with Karthik with an introductory phone call, and as someone who was looking for a ‘2nd MBA’, what struck me was the optimism in his tone which was positive but at the same time, quite realistic.

I eventually worked with Karthik for multiple applications and was interviewed by a good number of the Top 10 schools and also waitlisted at a handful.

Karthik was quite incisive with his feedback and helped me craft ‘my story’ and did not ever looking at tailoring my essays into a standard Box. It was all about presenting the best coherent narrative of myself across the applications.

After some gruelling work and constant guidance from Karthik, I’m glad to be headed to Columbia Business School with a partial fellowship.
