August Academy's MBA Admissions Blog

S: Oil and Gas Industry -> Ivy League University

Above all, Karthik is an excellent person. He has guided me through my difficult decisions and continues to do so even after the application prep is over.

I availed August Academy services for admission cycle 2017-2018. I am happy to say that I applied to 3 B-Schools, got an opportunity to interview at 2 Schools, and got admitted to my top priority school (result from one school is awaited).

Karthik has been a mentor and guide since day one of my application process. Even though the entire process is extremely consuming and time taking, Karthik has a highly methodological approach and navigates the work in a systematic manner. He gives personal attention to all aspects of the application : starting from defining career goals (suggested me to read the best known management books first), identifying strengths and weakness, shortlisting and setting target schools, refining the resume in detail (he put in commendable efforts in doing so) , brainstorming the essays, preparing for video essays etc. He defines deadlines and strictly abides by those timelines.

One of the key aspects of his working style is his guidance on the ‘essay writing’. He identifies your story depending on your strengths, helps you mold it into a compelling story while ensuring that the essay comes directly in the applicant’s own words. He would never write your essays, rather push you to write in your own words!

Above all, Karthik is an excellent person. He has guided me through my difficult decisions and continues to do so even after the application prep is over.

P.S.: Karthik manages every task detail through Asana (web application to track work progress). Another trait of his systematic way of working!

I owe a big part of my success to Karthik and would recommend him as the first choice for any applicant looking for a sincere, dedicated admissions consultant.
