How should I prepare for the first meeting?

Don’t overthink it. The consultation isn’t an interview, and there’s no right way to show up. If you’ve taken the initiative to book a call, you’re already ready for this first conversation.

If you have a preliminary school list or a target round, bring it. If there are specific concerns on your mind — a low GMAT you’re weighing whether to retake, a career gap, a previous ding you’re still processing — name them upfront. We’d rather spend the time on what actually matters to you than walk through generic overviews you could get by scanning our website.

Use the time to dig in. Ask real questions. Pressure-test your assumptions. Get something genuinely useful out of the conversation.

And if none of that is ready, come anyway. Plenty of our most productive consultations begin with nothing more than “I think I want to do an MBA but I’m not sure where to start.” That’s a completely valid place to be — and one we’re very comfortable working from.
