I am in at Haas with a full tuition scholarship! I was also accepted at Tuck but Cal’s offer was impossible to refuse. I was an active member of this forum during my GMAT prep days. I just wanted to thank the founders of this forum and also tell the members about my experience with Stacy Blackman Consulting.

Choosing weather to use a consultant and which one to use was a very difficult decision for me but I found a gem!!! My experience with Stacy Blackman Consulting was nothing short of spectacular. My consultant was not only supportive and insightful throughout the entire process, but she also took a genuine interest in getting to know me. I would not be where I am today with out my consultant. In addition helping me accomplish my goal of gaining admittance into a top MBA program, my consultant has helped me develop my career vision along with my writing skills. I wanted you all to know that the consulting fees were some of the best money I have ever spent. The services I received from SBC far surpassed my expectations.

Feel free to send me a message with any questions.

Congrats! I plan on applying to Haas as well. Can you please elaborate on the admission process. I'd like to know about the gmat score that qualified you, and also admission essay, work experience, interview etc.

thanks

Thanks! My profile: M/25/730/4YR WE Investment Banking/Corporate Dev. I think Haas, along with many other schools, has a very holistic process, I met fellow admits with 650 and 780 GMATs. If I was in your shoes and applying to Haas again, I would be sure my XC's aligned with my passions and that my passions aligned with my career vision. Have a cohesive story and be sure to speak to how your career vision will not only aid your personal success, but also benefit society. Haas is huge on social impact stuff, but some basic web research should have uncovered that. Feel free to post any specific questions as well. Best of luck to all.

WOW! Full ride to Haas is quite incredible. Best of Luck. I was strongly considering Stacy Blackman but their price tag is a bit on the expensive side compared with VeritasPrep and some of the other well known consulting firms. For ex. Veritas offers a comprehensive 3-school pacakage for $3900 while the same costs $5500 at SB. My primary goal in the next couple of weeks is to find out if the $1600 premium is worth the returns. Any assistance you can provide on this matter would be great. congratulations again!

p.s - Ofcourse if i won the BTG scholarship all this wouldn't matter much Wink
