I offer end-to-end Admissions Consulting services – Career Planning, Application Essay Editing & Review, Recommendation Letter Editing, Interview Prep, assistance in finding funds and Scholarship Essay & Cover letter editing.
From the many heartfelt thank you notes, I have framed these reviews in my office. It captures who I am and the service that we offer:
"It feels like a dream. I would have never imagined to even target Harvard MBA if it was not for Atul's encouragement. A true champion of the applicant" - Harvard MBA
"What I like the most about Atul's Editing is his willingness to listen and consider my words before suggesting alternatives. Most consultants give recommendations with no room for debate. The crazy hours he puts into making the essay perfect is another quality that makes F1GMAT different. I went back and forth with him for nine versions of the Stanford Essay. I didn't pay anything extra for the additional edits. Highly recommend the review service. Ask for the three school bundle service" - Stanford and MIT Accepted (Stanford MBA)
"The extensive evaluation of my profile, along with intense debate on the possible career paths, made discussions with Atul an enlightening experience. He knows what he is saying and uses data to support the case. The Q&A for the impact table is another part of the service that opened my eyes to a couple of career paths. But the most useful service is the editing. After writing and self-editing the Wharton MBA essay, I couldn't shorten the length. Atul cut the words without losing the storytelling qualities of my essay." - Wharton MBA
"The Responsiveness of Atul's Editing, the IMPACT table and the color coded comments were the differentiating value proposition I experienced while receiving help for my essays.The process made my writing and editing much easier" - Columbia & Booth Accepted (Chicago Booth MBA)
"Atul is a brilliant strategist and editor. He recognized my weakness and communicated them in an honest way without ever putting me down. The balance of practicality and encouragement helped me set the right expectations and focus all my efforts on European schools as my post-MBA goal had much better recall when we quoted opportunities in the UK and Germany." - LBS MBA
"I am an aspiring Entrepreneur who found Yale's Integrated curriculum to be the best preparation for the complexity of a fast-paced global market. While communicating my drive for entrepreneurship in the essay, I couldn't encapsulate who I was and the biggest commitment I made. An event from childhood that Atul brought out from me became the opener that completed the missing piece for my story" - Yale MBA
"Thank you for breaking down the culture at Haas for me. It really helped me approach the essays with fresh eyes. Your editing style is much appreciated as I was apprehensive that my voice would get stifled with each edit. You took my best phrases, put the magic of your words and created a pitch that the Haas MBA admissions team accepted!" - Haas MBA
