Accepted at: LBS
Industry Exp: Computer Related, Engineering, Technology, Telecom
Gender: Male
Background: Israel
 
Mentor Details:   I am 2011 class admitted student of LBS (and 3 other top US schools). Coming from diverse background including embedded SW team manager, army commander and counselor for international education organization, I bring unique view on leadership and excellence in business education. With average GMAT (starts with a 6 :)) score I had to work really hard to develop my essays strategy. Now I will apply the lessons I've learned from this process to your application! Here is what one of the guys I helped after I got accepted had to say about our work: "As an international, with an Engineering background, totally unfamiliar with MBA application process, is was important for me to leverage the knowledge of someone who already mastered this MBA application process. No doubt, Alex exceeded my expectations. He provided a extremely detailed feedback, making sure I will "fit in" the school, while "standing out" in the applicant pool. His insights allowed me to crystallize my essays, and present a the best possible package."

Start a project with Sam! Mentor:
Sam
Accepted at: Wharton
Industry Exp: Computer Related, Entrepreneurship, Government, Military, Non Profit
Gender: Male
Background: United States
 
Mentor Details:   Believe it or not, AppMentor helped me get accepted to my first choice school! Now I am on the staff to pass along to you the guidance they gave to me. In my opinion, when writing b-school essays, it is imperative one follows six key guidelines. Tell a story. Be concise. Showcase your strengths. And three other vital concepts. I will ensure your essays follow these guidelines! I have a varied background and therefore will be able to bring a unique perspective to any person's essays, but especially someone with a non-traditional career path.

I scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of the GMAT and I consider myself a grammar nazi. I will find every one of your grammar mistakes.

I spent 7 years as a military officer flying fighter jets. I have also worked for a small software company, for both US and foreign government non-profit sectors, and for two different technology/research organizations. I have a bachelors in Computer Engineering and a masters in International Affairs, and I lived overseas for over three years. I look forward to guiding you and critiquing your essays in your quest to attend ANY top b-school. I am here to help you get accepted!
