Arush and Inspira were absolutely integral to my success and helped me get accepted to Stanford GSB. Arush guided my application process from start to finish, from the high-level big picture thinking about the best way to frame my story to the nuts and bolts of the application itself. Arush and his team's experience in the actual MBA admissions offices was invaluable and definitely helped me feel more confident. I always had an insider's view into how the process works and what traits to highlight at each school where I had applied. He is also a generally lovely person, and I always looked forward to our phone calls. Thank you, Arush!

Coming from a non-traditional background, I felt pretty overwhelmed by the whole MBA application process, and was initially hesitant to get any type of consulting help. Looking back now however, getting Kamir's help was the best investment I could've made. Throughout the several months process, Kamir coached me on how best to share my story in a way that stuck true to who I am and where I want to go, while simultaneously keeping me organized/on track and even growing my writing skills. On top of that, I truly feel that I now know myself better both personally and professionally, beyond just for MBA applications, and have a strong idea of where I would like to go next. He is extremely insightful, knowledgeable and personable, and his vast experience in both MBA admissions and creative writing was invaluable to me as he helped me see how exactly the different bits and pieces of my story connected together in a coherent way. Additionally, he is extremely responsive and always willing to talk/answer any (big or small) questions along the way, which is incredibly helpful during such a stressful period. I got into Kellogg and Booth. Ended up dedicing going to Booth

I got an interview at Wharton and Inspira helped me prep for it. I had questions about the team discussion and my consultant helped me elaborate my thoughts around my answers. I was pretty scared because Wharton was my dream school and I wanted to make sure I was as ready as possible. I also did the group interview prep and it was a great simulation of what actually happened during the real interview.

Just wanted to let you know that I received a call from Kellogg a few weeks back and I've been admitted to the evening program starting this Fall! My first choice - I'm thrilled! Thank you so much for your help throughout the process. It was a truly invaluable and personally enriching experience. Thanks for caring so much and becoming vested in my success. It really means a lot. Yayy!

Kate was a great sounding board and helped talk me through how I wanted to convey my background and experience in my applications. She was always ready to chat and was really proactive about checking in on my progress. Her feedback was almost immediate and working with her felt like a very personalized experience. I felt like she knew me really well by the end of the process and that my applications truly reflected who I was and why I wanted to go to business school.

Really impressed and satisfied with the Inspira team. I din't think that I would receive offers from top three business schools. But Inspira helped me to realise the strengths in my experience and share my story in a way that I had not thought of before. The team was also always there to support me and answer any questions I had.

I first connected with Inspira Futures in December. At that time, I was still in the process of shortlisting colleges and writing the requisite examinations like GRE and TOEFL. It was my first attempt ever at filling Masters Applications abroad. My consultant, within a very short span of time, transformed into a genuine stakeholder to my success. His availability far surpassed anything that I had ever imagined: whether it was odd hours or last minute rectifications, he was always ready to help. Added to that was the fact that he knew the nuances of what the specific schools look for and how to not only structure an amazing application, but also to keep me motivated during the process. I got into my dream school at Anderson (UCLA), exactly 6 months after I first wrote GRE. This wouldn't have been been possible without Inspira Futures.

I'm a woman working at an investment firm. It was fairly late in the cycle when I decided to apply to business school. I was introduced to Helen through a friend who worked with her and got into HBS. From our very first call, Helen had my absolute trust! It couldn't be any clearer to me that she was someone who was truly dedicated to her job, and she was extremely experienced and knowledgeable. I actually interviewed five other admission consultants from top firms, and she was by far the best - there was no comparison. Unfortunately I was too late in the process and Helen was booked up for the start-to-finish package, and wasn't able to take me on. So I somberly settled for my second pick at a competing firm. Unfortunately, my second pick full-time consultant regularly missed deadlines which weakened my trust in him along the process. Although Helen was booked up, she graciously agreed to work with me on an hourly basis - even though we were so close to the deadlines. We worked together for about 6 hours, including essay reviews and interview prep. Through the process, Helen encouraged me to dig deeper and reflect more on each of my experiences. She really helped me transform my essays: we removed all the cliche statements and the final product was much more unique and reflective of me as a person. Even once my purchased hours were up, Helen was still available as a resource and answered my emails generously in her own time.

Another thing I would highlight is that Inspira Futures has a two-day turnaround policy, and they do not miss deadlines. I initially didn't realize how important this would be. But remember that applying to school is a very stressful period, and you should work with someone who is reliable and who will be there for you when need.

At the end, I ended up getting into both my top choices - HBS and GSB, and I'm very grateful to Helen for her help. Not only she helped me with my application, but also she was absolutely there for me along the process.

I wouldn't have been admitted to GSB without Arush's help and support. Arush was a true mentor and guided me throughout the process with extreme patience. His insights were super valuable and on point. He shaped my story so well and helped my application stand out. Was a total priviledge working with him.

You think you can do it without a consultant. You think, ah that's expensive, I'll just do it myself. Well.....bad idea. The extra money you spend on Inspira's help, which will ultimately help you get into your dream school, is a drop in the bucket considering all the costs associated with B-school and the opportunity cost of not getting into a top school.
Arush is a mix between an editing guru and a psychologist. He helps you narrow down what you want to do in life and mold all the experiences into a compelling story. His customized schedule is perfect for someone, like me, who is working full time and trying to get all different aspects of the application not just done on time, but executed professionally.

My favorite aspect of working with Arush and the Inspira team was how well they prepped me to begin writing my essays. Their MBA Action Plan assessment helped me recognize my areas of strength as well as my areas of weakness. While I had short and long-term plans, they helped me crystallize these ideas and articulate them in a manner that was cohesive and engaging, which is critical for any application. They also helped me identify aspects of my background that would be useful for some of the less traditional essays (e.g., Kellogg and MIT Sloan). I got into all the 4 schools that I applied to.

Arush acted both as a life-coach, spending hours introspecting on my life-story, and as a talented writer, helping me bring my stories to life. He was a master at navigating both the big picture and drilling down into the nuts and bolts. He forced me to keep my essays crisp, concise and to the point, while effortlessly adapting the style to fit both Harvard and Stanford.

I only have great things to say about Botong and team at Inspira. Amazing attention to detail, best story tellers and people who will put relationships above everything else. I admire and appreciate how much you cared about my success.

I worked with Inspira Futures for over a year on my b school applications. They provided excellent service while being easy and enjoyable to work with.

I was pretty unfamiliar with the application process and really didn't know what schools looked for in applications. I have an unusual work experience- 3 completely different industries in multiple geographies. They helped me wrangle my personal and professional experiences and craft them into a compelling narrative. They were prompt in responding to all my questions and providing feedback on my essays. With their help, I was able to secure a 30% scholarship to Stanford GSB!!!!

Apart from receiving excellent service from Inspira Futures, they were extremely friendly and easy to work with. I always looked forward to my weekly or bi-weekly call with my counselor. And in the emotional peaks and valleys of the process, I always felt like I could be open with my Inspira team and rely on their guidance.

I worked with another consultant before engaging Inspira. Inspira is way way better. The team is super encouraging and really cares. I was so nervous and stressed going into my interview but my Coach spoke with me for 2 hours the night before giving me confidence and calming my nerves. I'll never forget that. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Gabriel is a true professional who has been in this business for over a decade. He knows what he is doing and he will work with you one-on-one throughout the entire process. His expertise will give you an extra edge in your application that fully justifies the cost - and then some. For some background on my experience, I am a non-traditional applicant. I needed help giving my profile credibility. I wanted the adcoms to know that I could succeed in business school and that I would be able to get a good job afterward. I believe that Gabriel helped me successfully get that message across. I was accepted to all schools to which I applied, one with a full-tuition fellowship. I decied to go to Kellogg because of its focus on marketing.

When I first considered using a consultant, I was hesitant to commit to the price of a comprehensive package without truly understanding what working with a consultant would be like. The hourly option with Inspira Futures was a relatively low-risk way to start the process and gave me the flexibility to choose how I wanted to proceed thereafter. I was worried that in using a consultant, I would lose my "voice" trying to fit into some consultant mold, but the outcome was quite the opposite. The Introspection process forced me to think about how different experiences in my life have shaped me personally and professionally and to examine post-MBA career options that fit with both my experiences and aspirations.

My counselor helped me identify themes across these different goals and experiences. The upfront work I did with her laid the foundation for my application strategy, kept my story grounded, and was directly applicable to several essays and even interview questions. It also helped guide my conversations with supervisors when I asked them to write my LORs. For me, the hourly option was a great way to "try out" working with a consultant while still moving the ball forward on my applications. I did end up upgrading to a 6 school comprehensive package.

The Inspira Futures folks were great resources throughout the process and gave quality feedback on essays and interview prep. The application process is a grind, no matter what. There really aren't short cuts. But for me, it was helpful to have a knowledgeable sounding board/resource throughout the process. I overall had a great experience working with Inspira Futures, and I am excited to be attending a MIT Sloan this fall.

There was an army of folks working around my schedule. My coach stayed up till 11:30pm one evening because I got pulled into an important meeting at work. There were so many times she rescheduled our check-ins since my work schedule would keep changing. One of Inspira's adcom members provided feedback on my application on short notice since we were only a week away from the application deadline when I got done. I got in Sloan, Booth, Johnson, and Yale SOM, which was a dream come true. Super appreciative and grateful for the Inspira team's help!

Really satisfied with the quick turnaround, quality of edits, and the caliber of Arush and his team. The communication was incredible. He patiently explained all the changes to me and also heard my perspectives. I could clearly feel how invested he was in helping me get accepted at my dream business school.

Inspira Futures helped me get into my dream school - STANFORD and made the application process as stress-free as possible! My counselor took the time to get to know me, my background, and what I was hoping to gain from an MBA, and she helped me narrow in on the schools that would be the best fit for me and highlight my strengths through my application. I really appreciated how she provided guidance and suggestions that helped me take my essays and applications to the next level but never tried to change my writing style or the essence of what I wanted to portray. She was so supportive throughout the process, provided an achievable timeline, and was a calming presence as I submitted my applications and prepared for interviews. She has a thorough understanding of schools and the application process, and she provided valuable insights that I never would have known without her. She made the application process enjoyable, and she even helped me learn more about myself that I will carry with me beyond business school. She was always quick to respond and accommodated my schedule for calls and prep. I am so thankful to her for all of her amazing guidance and would highly recommend working with Inspira Futures!
