Story Of mymbacircle.com

What is MyMBACircle?
MyMBACircle is a community of second-year MBA students and alumni of top business schools that helps MBA applicants with their applications (GMAT prep, mba essays, mock interviews, mba resume, and school-specific insights). Mentors are highly curated from the best MBA programs such as Harvard (HBS), Stanford, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Kellogg and Columbia, and from the most prestigious companies (McKinsey, BCG, Google, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, etc.)

 

Why did we create it?
We realized that for a majority of the business schools students, the MBA application process is one of the most daunting times in their lives. Meaningful access to students and alumni from top MBA programs is limited and admission consultants are extremely expensive. We wanted to pay it forward and help those aspiring to get into top MBA programs. We designed bite-size service with coaching and customized prep materials that provide the same edge as a top admission consultant but at an affordable price.
