I enrolled with Experts’ Guidance Program in 2009 (I am writing this piece in 2013). The material was simply superb, it covered, in an organized and selective way, almost everything that is worthwhile in the GMAT world. However I couldn’t beat the GMAT beast and couldn’t score more than 610 in my multiple attempts. Crucially, Experts’ Global stayed with me and trained me repeatedly with newer strategies over my attempts. Then, the real magic Experts’ Global did was with my application package. They helped me select schools suitable to my profile and worked great deal on the essays. I was discovering so many un-noticed factors about my profile, which certainly helped me build up my confidence. Also did a few very useful rounds of mock interviews over the phone. My whole application process was cakewalk, thanks to Experts’. Finally, only with 610 GMAT, I got acceptance from Babson College (which in fact was my dream school), Uconn and Thunderbird. Many thanks to Experts’!

History

In 1919, 27 students enrolled into the Babson Institute and the first classes commenced in the former home of Roger and Grace Babson on Abbott Road in Wellesley Hills. Roger Babson emphasized more on practical learning than theoretical and hence, the entire curriculum was designed to foster the application of business concepts in real-world setting. Group projects, field trips to factories, class presentations and networking with top business managers and executives are some of the things that have been part of the institute’s curriculum since its inception.

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.
