Admitted at IE & ESCP
With a score of just 640 in GMAT and still getting into these prestigious colleges explains how much value MIM Essay added to my application. With MiM-Essay, admissions to one of your dream colleges are guaranteed. It is the right place to approach since all the counselors have gone through the application process and have knowledge about the process to give inputs. Overall my experience was outstanding with MiM-essay.
Admitted to LBS & LSE
Even though I decided to apply in the last days of submission, my consultant was available for my questions all the time and the answers were always helpful. He knows really well which parts you should highlight and which ones to get rid of. I believe I wouldn’t get accepted without MiM-essay help. Even if you think you wrote your application really well. I am sure there is always something to improve that MiM-essay will notice.
Admitted to ESSEC (with Scholarship)
I would say, do not think twice about it and GO for it. It is a worthwhile investment and will go a long way in helping you secure a place at your dream college. I not only got into my target colleges- HEC & ESSEC but even won a 20,000 euro scholarship! Their personalized help and guidance were the highlight of the whole process; these are both crucial points when preparing a MiM application.
Admitted to LBS
Taking the essay and interview pack was one of the best decisions I made during the journey, not only is their profound knowledge about business schools very helpful but also their constant support will keep you motivated. I am very happy with the service they propose. I truly believe it gave me a strong competitive advantage and helped me present a polished image of myself in front of the LBS panel, ultimately getting me an admit.
Admitted to LSE & LBS
MiM-Essay puts in its best efforts to understand the profile of the candidate in-depth. Another amazing service that is offered by the team is multiple edits till you get the best. No limit on edits. They make sure to create the Best Profile!! Edits are done to back up the points with convincing background stories. They focus on this aspect the most to chalk out the best draft.
Overall, It was an amazing experience.
Admitted to ISB YLP & Duke
Professional, personalized, understanding are some of the immediately visible traits that you notice about their service. They know we are worried. They know we want to do our best. So, they do everything possible to make the best happen without us getting too worried. The most value that MiM-essay adds is that they believe in experience-based answers and moreover highlight the learning in each experience.
Admitted to NUS & SMU
Sometimes you can get caught up in the fantasy and other consultants may even promise something they can’t deliver but the MiM Essay team helped me align the right school with my goals. They took the time out to understand my motivations and experiences and helped me build a profile that was true to myself. Also, I would really appreciate all the notes and mock interview sessions MiM-Essay helped me out with.
Admitted to HEC
The MiM-Essay team can significantly improve your essays and increase your chances of getting into your target programs.

An admit from HEC just proves the worth of their services
