I came in contact with Mayank Srivastava at Experts Global after I scored 720 on my GMAT in my first attempt seeking guidance for my journey ahead from there as I had no idea about which school to apply , which program is best for me , should I retake the GMAT and improve my Quant percentile and other millions of questions like these.At first , I thought that I will get all these answers all by myself and google and I was such a strong believer of this that I made fun of my friends who got paid consultancy seeking help in their MBA application journey last year .Then I realised that you can convince yourself of anything with data on internet , If you start a search to find that Android is better than IOS – you will definitely get convincing data to support the fact and if you start the search to find the opposite you will get equally compelling proof.Same applied for the search relating to schools , programs etc. , its just what you want to believe you can get data or stats to convince yourself then in such a scenario how do you actually get answers??? That is where I got all the help from Shailesh who was my mentor at Experts Global . He has himself been through this journey and helped so many students that he always knows what is best for you and stupid questions are going on in your mind.He helped me shortlist colleges according to my previous work /Gmat score/future ambitions /chances of getting in among various other factors .One of the most important things that he helped me with was to make me understand what are the things in my work journey or for that matter my journey of life till now that I should highlight in my Essays / interviews etc so that my personality is actually communicated to the Addmission committee of the schools and believe me the things I thought were completely irrelevant for my profile became the highlight of my profile when their importance was explained to me by Shailesh.He helped me with mock interviews pointing out my weaknesses , my strengths ,what I am doing wrong ,what I am not doing and should be doing , tiny details which you can never prepare without professional help.He was always prompt in replying to my queries in his own humorous ways which always made me feel stupid to have asked the same but he always encouraged to ask them no matter how many times.Finally , I got into few schools of my choice and decided on joining Questrom School Of Business ,Boston University with approx 80% tuition Scholarship for which I was ready to pay the whole fees and was one of my first choices.The point from where you realize you want to start preparing for GMAT to the point of actually joining a B-School is a beautiful journey full of adventures , excitement , success , failures , late nights , early mornings , restlessness , anxiety , waiting , bad information , good information and I can go on but you definitely need an expert to guide you through it and I found mine in Shailesh and Experts Global Team.Although I am not done with him and I will continue to extract info and advise from him for all my life but his role in my MBA journey cannot be missed.SO , I recommend everyone for his excellent mentoring services.Cheers Guys!

History

In 1881, the California State Legislature authorized the creation of a southern branch of the California State Normal School in downtown Los Angeles to train teachers for the growing population of Southern California. In 1914, the school shifted to its new campus on Vermont Avenue in East Hollywood. In 1927, it was renamed as the University of California at Los Angeles. UCLA opened its new campus in 1929 with four buildings- Royce Hall and Haines Hall in the north, and Powell Library and Kinsey Hall in the south. The UCLA graduate division got established in 1934. The School of Management was established in 1935 and the MBA degree was authorized by the Regents four years later. In 1950, the School was renamed as the School of Business Administration. The name changed to Graduate School of Business Administration five years later. In 1970s, the School’s name was changed to Graduate School of Management. The School was renamed in honor of John E. Anderson, who endowed the school with a huge fund.

I was looking only for direction for my essays from expert’s global when i signed up with them. Once i did sign up they gave me this direction in the form of a self assessment document which would help them understand me & my perspective better. This was all I needed from them and the self introspection inspired me to write my own MBA admission essays. My mentor did write me some essays. They were written well and answered every question asked but were definitely run-of-the-mill. My interaction with my mentor was at a minimum because I had already understood what I wanted. That being said, I have to credit Expert’s Global for pushing me to self introspect (with the self assessment document) myself which led me to join my dream school, Babson College.
