I came to Experts’ seeking help on my applications with 680 on GMAT. It was September and I did not have time to improve my score. However, I was guided to prepare for GMAT as the help from Experts’ eased the applications burden on me. While I achieved a 750 on GMAT with the Experts’ Global Guidance Program, my applications were also almost completed. I still applied everywhere in Round-1 and achieved multiple admits with great scholarships!

History

The University commenced in 1794 by the name of Blount College. Post the death of the first President Samuel Carrick in 1809, the school struggled to acquire funding that led to its shut down. The partnership with Knoxville’s Hamden-Sydney Academy fetched enough operating funds for the school to reopen in 1820 as East Tennessee College. The partnership went for a toss in 1826, and the college moved to what is now better known as, Hill. In 1840, the name changed back to East Tennessee College with the inclusion of agriculture and mechanical arts in the curriculum. The university was forced to shut down again when a civil war broke out in the country and disrupted the smooth functioning of the College. President Thomas Humes worked towards reestablishing the College, and his efforts bore fruits when the classes resumed in 1866. In 1879, the university acquired its present name- University of Tennessee.

I cannot thank Experts’ and Mayank enough for helping me give my best towards getting an MBA from a top school. When I joined Experts’, I was given an honest reality check and counseled to defer my application process by one year. During this span, I received continuous guidance for GMAT Prep as well as profile building. After following Experts’ material and sticking to the study plan religiously I saw my GMAT scores rise significantly! I did not need any other material and I would not recommend using any other material either. I followed what Mayank suggested and stuck to it. Most important i saw results. I was one of those people who wanted to apply to HBS/Stanford, and Mayank was the only person (among the many I talked to) who did not brush it off as just another guy unrealistically dreaming of HBS. He said he would help me put the best possible application, and he did. Interviews with Stanford and Duke are testimony to that. He helped bring out my true self in the essays and that contributed to a stellar application. Both Mayank and Anand spent time helping me prepare for interviews and conducted multiple Mock interviews. All said, I was very happy with the personal attention and have recommended Experts’ to many of my friends.”
