I decided to sign up for MER services because I wanted personalized support and expert guidance throughout my MBA application process. The reputation of MER, along with Poonam's expertise, made me feel confident that I would receive quality advice tailored to my profile.
Resume Building: The counseling session was productive and gave me clarity on how to structure my resume to highlight my strengths effectively. Poonam's approach helped me see areas where I could showcase my accomplishments better. Poonam helped me refine my resume content, focusing on achievements and the impact of my actions rather than listing responsibilities. She guided me on making each bullet point more impactful and results-oriented. Using the STAR method to structure my accomplishments was a fantastic suggestion. It helped make the resume clearer and more concise, providing concrete examples of my skills and contributions. The final edit trimmed down my resume while maintaining all the key points, ensuring it was clean, effective, and within the 1-page limit.
Essay Help: The counseling session for the essays was crucial. Poonam helped me brainstorm and select stories that aligned with the themes of each school’s prompt, ensuring my essays were impactful. She helped me select stories that not only fit the essay prompts but also showcased my unique qualities and experiences. She provided excellent feedback on how to position my story for maximum impact. Poonam’s guidance on structure was essential in ensuring that each essay had a clear narrative flow.
Poonam’s editing was meticulous. She refined my sentence structure, corrected grammar and punctuation errors, and ensured that my essays were concise, well-written, and adhered to word limits.
LOR Guidance: Poonam was instrumental in guiding me through the Letter of Recommendation process. She provided valuable feedback on how to approach my recommenders, what to ask them to highlight, and how to ensure that the letters aligned with the themes in my application.
Answering queries/Turn arounds: Poonam was incredibly responsive throughout the application process and always willing to answer my questions. She always met deadlines and was punctual in providing feedback, which was crucial, given the tight timelines of my application. Her timely responses allowed me to stay organized and confident throughout the entire process.
Working with Poonam was a fantastic experience. She is professional and deeply committed to ensuring her clients’ success Her expertise in the admissions process, attention to detail, and personalized approach were invaluable in getting me admission offers from all the 4 programs we collaborated on, two with scholarships - UCI (35K ), USC (20K), UCLA, and Berkely Haas. I have decided to join Haas.
I would highly recommend MER’s services to any prospective applicants who are serious about crafting strong, competitive applications. I’m grateful for her support.
