Poonam, you did an amazing job reviewing and refining my essays. I am accepted by Haas.The questions you raised during our phone conversation and your comments on my drafts greatly helped me to think with respect to the expectations of a reader. When I look at the first draft and the final version, I could see how the stories have gradually but surely evolved.
You helped me identify the content that was not adding value to the essay but just increasing the word count, fill the gaps in my stories by asking right questions and ensured smooth flow of information all thru the end. Your knowledge of what B-schools look for aided me in concluding the essay with a striking note. As the author of the essays, I wouldn’t have caught most of these pitfalls without your help. The length of the essays was one thing I was worried about since the day one I started writing the essays. You alleviated my worries and encouraged me to develop the content first and think about the length later. It was amazing to see how you rephrased my sentences again and again, and was able to squeeze the content down to the allowed word limit.Overall, I was very happy with your service. You are very professional. Your turn around time was excellent and was always within the agreed deadline. It was almost like you were working only on my essays. Thanks so much for your help.

Poonam made me feel as if I was interacting with a friend, rather than a consultant, throughout the process.I signed up for my essay review services because I was impressed with the reviews given in GMAT club and also the service is affordable. And the testimonials in the blog made me choose MER. Her suggestions about sentence structure resulted in more clarity which is the first and most critical aspect Ad Com would look for while evaluating the essays. I never took tension about word-limit because Poonam asked me to come up with story/content without worrying about word-limit. It was she who took care about trimming the essays without compromising on the story. Her modifications and suggestions about sentence structure had totally changed the look and style of my essays. She made them look professional. Initially, grammar correction was one of the primary reasons for taking hers services. And I was completely happy with the grammar of essays after review.
Poonam was very particular about turn-around time for essay edits. I used to get edited drafts in less than 24 hours for all of my essays. Because of her strict timelines, I was able to submit my application before the deadline. Poonam made me feel as if I was interacting with a friend, rather than a consultant, throughout the process. Thanks Poonam Jee for your guidance and support.

With your help, I got accepted into SMU. Your services were great!Poonam first understood who I was, reviewed my drafts, provided guidance on who and what the readers would be looking for. With the information on my background, she was able to hone what strengths I should focus on. Poonam made sure I stuck to the question being asked and responded to that. She was able to draw out of me what where the important points to incorporate in the essay. Then, she told me what the outline should look like. She not only did an excellent job in making sure I adhered within the word limit, but also made sure all the key points were still there. She found grammar errors that I didn't in writing my essays. I was under extreme turnaround times. Poonam clearly articulated when I was to send my essays, and when she would respond back to me.
I would highly recommend Poonam to work with you on developing your essays and editing

There are mostly three types of consultants.You had combined the best features of 2 and 3 type consultants.I had earlier talked and got feedbacks about a few essay consultants. There are mostly 3 types of essay consultants as what I have noted:
Consultants who charge hefty fees ($2000 and above) and cover whole essay package for a school. I have no idea how they work.
Consultants who just work on the content- They do not advise on what should go inside and how. They are helpful to check the grammar and making a good English presentation. Consultants who comment on the content, but do not give an advice as what should exactly go in, citing specifics. They are helpful, but need a lot of introspection from the candidate.
You had combined the best features of 2 and 3 type consultants. You not only edit the essay content, but also first work with the candidate to come up with the best story. You never forced me on away, but had given your feedback, as what would be an appropriate option. After the first call, you advised as how to narrate the stories, and make an attractive presentation. You have helped to create the natural flow from one incident to other in the best possible way. You had been always cautious about the word limit, and for every edits, you mentioned the word count, which helped to keep a look. You had also removed un-necessary repetitions.

Debasish- 2013 EMBA candidate, waitlisted by HAAS
Looking at the transformation of the essay with awe I realized your grasp of the language and your infinite vocabulary is what makes you an exceptional consultant.Your approach was always of a teacher not just giving the solution but showing the direction and letting me go through the motion to build my own stories.
I was applying for EMBA and was looking for someone with more depth and perception of how to present a candidate with years of experience’s in an effective way. I was really impressed by your blog and reflection and decided to give a try. The initial conversation confirmed that I made the right choice. You could understand the difference in the essay style for an EMBA to a full time MBA and it was reflected once we were done with all the essays. The best essays are those which reflect the stories about you. Not everyone is good at self-reflection. The guidelines helped a candidate like me to put my thoughts in perspective and then express them in stories.
Secondly some stories bring strong emotions and character and the guideline help to highlight those stories for the essay. It worked really well for me. The first draft of my essays was just chronological representation of the event happened in my career. I did not realize the essay need not be full of big words but more of thought process to show the real you. The structure and framework she provided helped me to put my chronological events in a manner to showcase my candidacy in the best manner to the school.
When you start an essay you are thinking will I be able to meet the word limit, once you are done you are wondering is it real. Did I really write all this and now I need to shrink it to meet the world limit? It was always a big challenge for me to stay within the word limit. You were really amazing replacing sentences with the word so that it still conveys the same meaning and achieve the word limit constraints. Looking at the transformation of the essay with awe I realized your grasp of the language and your infinite vocabulary is what makes you an exceptional consultant. Here I would like to quote your My Reflections blog “American English vs. British English”. I know English is English but I guess it is still different how we have learnt it. You have mastered the difference and able to understand the background, that my style portrays more of British English than American which helps in providing correct suggestions.
You were really punctual and made sure once the essays are submitted to you the response is provided within 24 to 48 hours. This kept me on track since you were expecting same kind of response from me. It’s mutually beneficial so that we don’t lose the sight of completing the application on time. Although you were a paid consultant to provide input on the essays, the services went above and beyond in making sure all of my needs were met in timely manner. You were more worried about keeping me focused on the deadline than myself. Your approach was always of a teacher not just giving the solution but showing the direction and letting me go through the motion to build my own stories. If needed, I will use your services again and will also recommend you to anyone who is applying admission to a graduate program.

Thank you, Poonam for the great service! I know I am a strong candidate for medical after working with you!My situation was difficult as I had a character limit and not a word limit, however you were able to meet the character limit without losing any key ideas.
Your editing services were excellent in all areas i.e. sentence structure, word choice, style, punctuation and grammar. I absolutely loved how quick of a turnaround your edits were! While they were quick turnarounds, it was obvious you put a lot of time into each edit! Very impressive!

Siddhartha- 2012 Med School applicant to UofA of Tuscon
“Amazing experience with myEssayReview Services”I first came to know about myEssayReview in a forum of GMAT Club. I went through the testimonials of many people, who were greatly benefited by the services that they received. The success rate was really high and looking at the success stories of people who made it to their dream schools with the help of these services, offered by Poonam ma’am, I found hope. Also, when I went through the profile of Poonam ma’am, I was really impressed and was confident that, I’ll surely be in good hands if I take the help of someone who is so experienced and great at her job, like Poonam ma’am.
I first requested for free consultation meeting. The half hour discussion gave me knowledge about things I didn’t know till then. Poonam ma’am reviewed my resume, provided her honest assessment of my profile and encouraged me to pursue my dream of getting an admission in my dream school. The free consultation was an enriching experience for me.
We started working and Poonam ma’am scheduled a skype call to discuss the essays and résumé. Even though the initial scheduling of skype call didn’t work in my favor due to power cuts at my place, Poonam ma’am was patient with me and re-scheduled the meeting twice. She clarified all my doubts very patiently. Also, this was the time I put my trust completely in Poonam ma’am. I would rate this session as a 5/5 as it really provided me valuable insights.
I had trouble with choosing the right content, as I didn’t have much exposure in writing essays that have an impact. I was scared in the beginning. But Poonam ma’am, very kindly, advised me, encouraged me and boosted my confidence. The sample essays were a great help initially, as they helped me to write the essay in a proper and valid framework. I was not up to the mark in telling my story, Poonam ma’am’s suggestions helped me dig deeper and brainstorm ideas to present an improved draft next time. Poonam ma’am’s edits after every draft transformed my essays into something that spoke for themselves. Whenever I had difficulty in dividing the content into paragraphs, she offered very helpful suggestions and made my essays more effective.
Also, following the word limits was the most difficult part for me. The content which I wrote was always out of the word limit. Poonam ma’am, patiently went through all the details, and then identified the key points that could stay in the essay. The other details were paraphrased very wisely by her, so that all the important details were present in the essay by the end of the editing process.
After the final editing was done, I was really impressed and amazed at the final version of my essay. It was greatly polished with rich vocabulary and proper grammatical sentences. Poonam ma’am did a great job in making the essays more effective and impactful with the right words at the right places, also making sure that the essays were within the word limit. Poonam ma’am never took more than two days for getting back with the edited version and valuable suggestions. The editing process was quick and efficient.
The overall experience with Poonam ma’am was really enlightening and positive. All through the process, I felt that I was in great hands. The help I received is priceless. Throughout the process, Poonam ma’am has been a wonderful coach and a mentor who went above and beyond to ensure my success at my dream school.
