About Us
"Runner-up: The Good Idea Competition 2008, London Business School"
MBAvolunteers won 2nd place out of 30+ submissions in coming up with an innovative (non) for-profit idea
Welcome! MBAvolunteers provides feedback on your MBA applications in exchange for a donation to a non-profit organization. Our "service" is meant for those who don't have family or friends with MBA admissions experience to turn to for feedback and who at the same time don't want to use admissions consultants for financial or ethical reasons.
Starting with the 2010-2011 application season, MBAvolunteers also provides re-applicants with a "Ding analysis" of previously rejected applications, helping re-applicants understand how to craft a stronger application next time.
Once you reach the interview stage, we now also offer interview preps. Again, all services are provided in exchange for a donation to a non-profit organization.
A little bit about ourselves: We have diverse backgrounds ranging from management consulting to investment banking or technology and are current or former students of top business schools such as Carnegie Mellon (Tepper), Columbia Business School, Harvard Business School, Emory (Goizueta), INSEAD, Kellogg, London Business School, MIT (Sloan), Stanford, or UCLA (Anderson). In addition, we were accepted at Chicago (Booth), Cornell (Johnson), IESE Business School, and Tuck School of Business. Whether or not the school you are applying to is listed here, we can give you competent feedback. Since our founding in 2008 we have reviewed almost 90 applications, thereby raising over $12,000 for charities across the globe while helping applicants gain admissions to top MBA programs. If you want to find out about statistics on our service, client feedback, and recent developments please visit our News page.
