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.

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.

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.

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.

Also, I would really appreciate all the notes and mock interview sessions MiM-Essay helped me out with.

The MiM-Essay team can significantly improve your essays and increase your chances of getting into your target programs.
