I know hearing about the experience of candidates who worked with me is incredibly important to you. To provide that, my candidates first submit their testimonials on Poets&Quants. To verify them, the P&Q team requires each candidate to show their letter of admission - so you can always be sure these are real reviews from real admits.
MBA ABC truly is the best value proposition in MBA Application consulting. The amount of support and feedback relative to the cost is astounding. I believe I got more feedback and face time with Petia through MBA ABC than many people do with one-on-one consultants for a fraction of the price.

Read MoreI could immediately tell Petia believed in me and my pursuit of “options.” I had looked into other admissions consultants but had not felt that they were the best fit. Since I believed myself to be a strong writer, I wanted someone who would go beyond grammar edits and make the process joyful.

Read MoreWhile I had several positive conversations throughout this process with different consultants, Petia really stood out because I could see that she was really invested in her clients, as she spent a lot of time in our conversations trying to understand some of my intrinsic motivators and influences that had inspired some of my biggest professional decisions to date. For someone like me who is over-analytical at times, I found this perspective refreshing, and believed (correctly) that this level of insight could elevate my essays.

Read MoreIn a world where most applicants write what they think admissions committees want to hear, authenticity is what truly stands out. Thanks to Petia’s guidance, I was admitted to three M7 schools (two with significant scholarships) and two T15 schools (also with significant scholarships). I am certain I wouldn’t have achieved this without her help. Every penny I invested in working with her has paid off exponentially.

Read MoreOne immediate difference compared to a few other folks I had chatted with and even interacted with in part of Forté’s MBA Launch program was how warm and personable Petia was. Others felt too transactional or too spread across multiple different candidates but Petia was a breath of fresh air.

Read MoreIf I could give Petia a six-star rating, I would not hesitate. After an initial round of business school applications guided by a renowned consultant that led to no interview invitations, despite being positioned for the M7, I was at a loss. Not even the schools considered lower in rank extended an offer. Then, right as round two deadlines, I was introduced to Petia, and it turned out to be the highlight of my application journey.

Read MoreI met Petia towards the end of July, 2023 when our 15-minute free consultation naturally transpired into an hour long session.

Read MorePetia’s commitment to helping her clients is unmatched. I know that consultants have to toe a fine line between managing candidates’ expectations and helping them put their best foot forward – but Petia made it look easier than many other consultants I spoke with, worked with, or observed my friends working with. Her experiences as a Dean of Admissions enabled her to provide clear and grounded advice about these schools without creating unnecessary anxiety about my ability to get in.
