Although my documents were nearly perfect by the end of our time together, the final review was the cherry on top to pull my documents together. I can’t wait to embark on this new journey, and besides my own hard work, I have Inspira’s guidance to thank – I’ll definitely be recommending them to my friends thinking about going to b-school! "

Hear From Inspira Alumni

"Inspira has such an extensive network of former adcom members and current interview panel members that their advice and intimate knowledge of the inner workings of business schools is a gold mine of information. Their team worked extensively with me to position each application in a way that met the specific criteria of each business school. Also, there were no restrictions on the number of edits or calls that I could ask for. This created such an open environment to discuss new ideas rather than being worried about the time on the clock."

“The Inspira team are really skilled storytellers and can find a way to create an intriguing narrative for even the most stereotypical candidate. I studied economics in undergrad at Yale, spent two years in banking, and now work in PE. I struggled to write a story that differentiated myself from my peers (who I knew were also applying to the same schools) and did not know how to make my path seem more unique. When I began working with Inspira, they spent a whole week just learning about my story and asking questions that got me to think in new ways about my life decisions. They used these conversations to create a persona doc, where they outlined my own personal history but in a way that was distinct and showed a clear path of professional progress. This really helped reframe my perspective of my own experience and enabled me to write application documents that showed why I was a unique applicant and why I was a good fit for my top schools. Their help with storytelling was a game changer for me!”

"No marketing, no salesy bs. Inspira is a pure results-oriented admission consulting firm. I worked with them on applications for 4 schools and was so impressed with their honest approach. Their advice on school selection was spot on and was backed by data and sound reasoning. The team that helped me with my applications included a former adcom member from HBS, a writing expert from Wharton, and my graduate coach, who has an IB background like me. No other firm has such a strong team and this was clearly reflected in how good my application turned out to be. Their inside information was incredibly helpful, and many of the questions that the HBS interview panel asked me were the same ones that Inspira had prepared me for. I was so impressed by their insights into the business schools."

"I was originally working with a different MBA admissions group, but ended up switching to Inspira Futures only five weeks before the Stanford deadline. It seemed risky at the time, but I ended up being so glad I made the change! Inspira went above and beyond, even working with me on weekends and evenings to ensure that my application was perfect. We went through multiple rounds of revisions and the Inspira team was always willing to hop on a call to brainstorm ways to include new anecdotes or ways to rephrase the experiences on my resume. They created such a friendly environment that I never worried if I was asking too many questions or asking for too much support in such a short time frame. Thank you so much guys!"

"As an international student from China, I was completely new to the MBA application process for US B schools. I really liked Inspira’s onboarding process which helps candidates like me get familiar with what different business schools are looking for. They also matched me with a consultant who perfectly understood what I needed. My consultant had work experience in China (and even spoke Mandarin!) and went to school in the US, so he was able to quickly identify differences in Chinese versus American application processes to make sure I didn’t make any of the mistakes common for international applicants. My consultant even helped develop a guide for my recommenders, who had limited experience writing the types of recommendations that schools like HBS expect. With their help I was able to frame my international experiences in a way that the HBS committee would not only understand but see as an asset for their incoming class. I would not have got into Harvard without his help!"

“I would not have gotten into Harvard Business School without help from Inspira. I went to a non-target undergrad and my work experience was at a non-blue chip company, so I did not think that I had a chance at a top school. But Inspira’s team has such a well-structured process that they made the stressful MBA application feel straightforward. They helped me decide which schools to target, showed me how to look at my history to find the best stories to use in my essays, and even shared advice on how to pick the best recommenders. Each phase of the journey was catered to serve my needs. I am so thankful for the Inspira team!”

“I was initially hesitant to get a consultant and spend that extra money, but on a whim decided to speak to an Inspira consultant for the 30 minute free consultation. I was really impressed by their deep knowledge of the MBA admissions process and their ability to talk me through my history in order to quickly identify accomplishments and anecdotes to highlight on my application. I ended up applying to six schools through Inspira, and got into all of them! Looking back, the investment was worth it because I don’t think I would have been able to get into my top choices without their help and I would’ve regretted not giving the process my all. I’m so excited for my next steps and am so grateful for the help of the Inspira team!”

"I spoke with 12 MBA admission consultants. Each firm used the “free 30-minute consultation” to sell their services and urged me to wire $10,000, whereas Inspira's call focused only on my background and the "Why" behind my decision to pursue an MBA. On top of that, unlike every other firm, Inspira DOES NOT ask for full upfront payment. They only charged me on a per-go basis which allowed me to manage my cash flow. They were incredibly flexible with my hectic schedule and the quality of their work was top-notch. I got into Wharton with a $92,000 scholarship!"

“I spoke with a bunch of admission firms before deciding to work with Inspira. The Inspira team seemed uniquely well-qualified, dedicated, and truly passionate about ensuring their candidates get into their dream schools. The consultant I worked with understood my professional background so well that just through the introductory call she was able to give me pointers on how to craft my story - all before we even started a formal engagement. I found that the biggest difference between Inspira and other groups is that the Inspira team is made up of former adcom members and senior industry professionals from relevant industries who can craft a compelling story based on my work. My background is in management consulting, so I really appreciated getting to work with a former Parthenon EY consultant who knew how to articulate those experiences on my application. I think this help was crucial in getting into Booth, where I will be going this fall!”

"I started with Inspira in order to review an application for one school and thought that all I needed was a quick review for structure in order to calm my nerves about the process. Once I started with Inspira, I realized I could really take all of my applications to the next level. My team was able to dissect my ideas in a way that I hadn’t been able to see and they connected the dots between my experiences so that I was able to present a coherent story in my application. My consultant really took the time to understand what I was trying to convey and tag teamed well with former adcom members on Inspira’s team to provide me a real life evaluation angle. I also loved the way that the team did not hesitate to push me. They demanded perfection but stayed supportive and encouraging. I am certain that I would not have received a scholarship to Columbia if it was not for their help. Working with Inspira was the best decision I made through the whole MBA process!"

FAQ's

image of arrow down

When should I start working on my applications?

Business school applications are long - you need to create a resume, essays, short answers, and support recommenders for each institution. Getting to perfection takes time.

The exact time to get to the end state depends on several factors, including which schools you’re applying to (every school has a different application), your writing and editing proficiency, and your personal commitments.

We have worked with successful clients who have spent four weeks on an application and we have worked with those that have spent four months. That said, based on what we have seen in the past with applicants’ work schedules and writing styles, we recommend starting at least three months before the deadline to maximize your chances of success. We start working with candidates as early as February.

image of arrow down

How do you help with scholarship support?

Our scholarship application support helps clients maximize their ROI; since the average scholarship awarded to our clients is over $90k, and the average fee is $10k for all-inclusive support, you receive 9 times the return on your investment. Getting into a great business school can lead to an additional income opportunity of $7 million to $9 million over a lifetime.

image of arrow down

I only need help with one or two aspects of my application. Can you help?

We understand that not all applicants need help with their entire application. We’ve broken down our all-inclusive offering into different phases of the application lifecycle, such as best-fit school selection, resume editing, essay editing, and more for applicants who need support with only one or two aspects of their applications. Learn more about our hourly support programs here.

image of arrow down

Will you guarantee my admission to a business school?

Acceptance decisions are made by admissions committees and are dependent on many factors which can’t be controlled by any applicant or consultant. Anyone guaranteeing admissions is either lying or engaging in an unethical activity. That said, here is what we guarantee – when you hit the submit button, you will not regret the quality of the application you submitted. Our job is to make sure that you present the best, most comprehensive version of yourself through your documents.

image of arrow down

What do you mean by a 90%+ acceptance rate?

It means that 90%+ of the applicants we work with got into at least one of the schools they applied to. Although this means you have the best chance of getting accepted at your dream school by working with us, it does not mean you will definitely get into Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Columbia, or any particular school, for that matter of fact. Business school applications are competitive.

We help candidates create a personalized strategy that includes applying to dream, competitive, and safety schools. That does not mean we will force you to apply to a school you don’t want to attend. We help you create your school selection strategy, but the final decision to apply to an institution is yours and yours alone.

The schools that fall in each category depend on your profile, background, and test scores. Our acceptance rate is based on which schools candidates actually applied to, not which ones we thought they should apply to.
