How do your prices compare to other MBA admissions consultants?

It depends on who you’re comparing us to — and what you think you’re actually paying for.

Some firms charge dramatically more. Are you getting more? Sometimes you’re getting brand legacy, layers of overhead, or the comfort of an ultra-premium price tag. Many of the most expensive shops quietly select for the easiest candidates, then market pristine success rates built on that filtering. If that model appeals to you, that’s a rational choice.

We take a different approach. Our clients range from hyper-competitive candidates targeting only HBS and Stanford GSB to unconventional profiles that other firms won’t touch. We don’t screen for safety, and we don’t price based on optics. We price based on what it actually takes to do this work well.

MBA admissions consulting is labor-intensive, and genuinely strong consultants command real market value. Below a certain price point, either the talent isn’t there or the attention isn’t. Above a certain point, the value starts drifting toward “expensive because expensive.”

We sit where the value is real. Our consultants clear a hiring bar that eliminates roughly 95% of applicants, based on blind evaluation of work product — not résumé pedigree. Every engagement pairs a lead strategist with a dedicated essay specialist as the standard, not an upsell. The pricing reflects that caliber of thinking, that depth of process, and that level of sustained attention.

If you’re looking for sharp judgment and serious work, put us up against anyone. We’re comfortable there.
