Who We Are: mbaMission Reviews

I contacted mbaMission relatively close to my round 1 application deadlines based on a suggestion from one of my recommenders. I was seeking someone to review my resume and essay drafts on an hourly basis and selected Christine due to her strong healthcare experience and Stanford MBA. Working with Christine was the best decision I made during my application process. She put immense effort into understanding my background and goals, was highly responsive even while I was traveling internationally, and cared deeply about my success. Christine taught me how to translate my specialized technical experience into a compelling application story. Each round of feedback helped me reflect more deeply on my accomplishments and purpose. She is a perfectionist with meticulous attention to detail. I was ultimately admitted to multiple M7 schools (including one from HSW) while receiving several significant scholarship offers.

Working with Christine was one of my best decisions during my R2 MBA application journey. From the moment we started working together in November, she became so much more than just an advisor. She was a coach, a thought partner, and a source of calm and encouragement that helped me push through tight deadlines with confidence.

Christine’s sincere and honest feedback helped me discover dimensions of my story I hadn’t seen in myself. She had a great ability to connect dots I hadn’t thought to link, often revealing deeper themes that made my essays come alive.

She also personally invested in my success in a way that went far beyond what I expected. Whether it was turning around drafts in record time (including over the Christmas holidays!) or jumping on calls to help me find clarity under pressure, she always showed up with empathy, focus, and invaluable insights on the admission process. Her dedication was unwavering, and in moments when I was running on fumes, she brought the energy I needed to keep going.

What makes her an absolute rockstar is how deeply she cares. Throughout the months we worked together, she believed in me and always encouraged me to stay authentic, pushed me to dig deeper, and always made sure my voice remained at the center of everything I submitted.

I began the application process without the intention of hiring a consultant, but looking back, Christine’s guidance was invaluable and definitely played a key role in my admission into my top schools: HBS, GSB, and Wharton.

If you’re considering working with her, don’t hesitate. Christine isn’t just a great consultant, she’s a game-changer. I can say with complete confidence: she’s the real deal.
