Coming from a non-traditional… Coming from a non-traditional background, I felt pretty overwhelmed by the whole MBA application process, and was initially hesitant to get any type of consulting help. Looking back now however, getting Kamir's help was the best investment I could've made. Throughout the several months process, Kamir coached me on how best to share my story in a way that stuck true to who I am and where I want to go, while simultaneously keeping me organized/on track and even growing my writing skills. On top of that, I truly feel that I now know myself better both personally and professionally, beyond just for MBA applications, and have a strong idea of where I would like to go next. He is extremely insightful, knowledgeable and personable, and his vast experience in both MBA admissions and creative writing was invaluable to me as he helped me see how exactly the different bits and pieces of my story connected together in a coherent way. Additionally, he is extremely responsive and always willing to talk/answer any (big or small) questions along the way, which is incredibly helpful during such a stressful period. I got into Kellogg and Booth. Ended up dedicing going to Booth

I would not have got into HBS without Inspira I would not have got into HBS without help from Arush and the team at Inspira. Having gone to a non target undergrad and with work experience at a non blue chip company, I had no idea where I would land. But Inspira’s team has such a well structured process that they made the seemingly stressful MBA application feel like a cakewalk. Right from which schools to target, to how to look back at my history and pick up the right stories. Really thankful!

My favorite aspect of working with… My favorite aspect of working with Arush and the Inspira team was how well they prepped me to begin writing my essays. Their MBA Action Plan assessment helped me recognize my areas of strength as well as my areas of weakness. While I had short and long-term plans, they helped me crystallize these ideas and articulate them in a manner that was cohesive and engaging, which is critical for any application. They also helped me identify aspects of my background that would be useful for some of the less traditional essays (e.g., Kellogg and MIT Sloan). I got into all the 4 schools that I applied to.

Raquel is a coach with a heart! Raquel is a coach with a heart. My interaction with Raquel started during my first half-hour consultation with Inspira Futures. I had no expectations of Inspira then, and was undecided in signing up for a coach. But within the first few minutes of our call, Raquel’s warm and friendly persona drew me in like quicksand. There was never a mention of business sale. Our conversation was personal and authentic. It was at that point I knew engaging Inspira Futures was the right move for me. Raquel played a very important role of a coach and a pseudo mentor and friend throughout my MBA application journey. She checked up on me every other week to see if I was doing well, giving me support and guidance to navigate through the gruelling 3-month process and life in general. She was genuine in getting to know me as a person person, including my personality type and values, and was tremendously prompt in answering my queries (+my occasional need for emotional support). I believe that Raquel’s care for people comes from a place with a high level of empathy, which is rare today. Her support is pivotal to me realizing the importance of happiness in life, which led to me express this in my writing, and gaining acceptance into Stanford GSB and Columbia Business School. If you are looking for a coach who cares for you regardless of your background, has strong credentials and experience and has a genuine heart to see you succeed, look no further – Raquel is the person for you.

I got a scholarship! I got a scholarship at my dream med school (Duke), which was something I never thought was possible. What's more is that Inspira's team told me about scholarships that I had no idea even existed. The dedication and love they have for their applicants is heartning. I've already recommended Inspira to over 20 friends applying to med school and will continue to do so in the future.
