UBC Sauder Essays Writing and Editing Support


I reached out to experts global after securing a decent score on the GMAT. 680 was not a great score if you are from India. However, I was confident that with the right kind of help I will be able to get into my target schools. I spoke to Shailesh Otari over the phone and over a couple of weeks, we came to a consensus regarding my target schools. I had given extensive information about my career plan as well as my background to Shailesh. I recieved my essays on time for the first deadline for all the schools. The essays were simple, elegant and bang on the money. They were simply great. I had applied to BYU Marriott, Sauder UBC , Katz and Great Lakes. I was delighted to get an interview call from all the schools that I applied to. Just when I thought the difficult part was over, I realized that the interview requires meticulous preparation as well. Once again Mr.Shailesh was instrumental in helping me pick the right stories and present them in the best way possible in front of the adcom. I grew in confidence as my second mock interview was completed. Two months later, I am happy to let you guys know that I have an admit from 3 out of 4 schools that I have applied. And I also received a 2000$ scholarship from Sauder and a 3500$ scholarship from BYU Marriott. Even though the interview pattern was different for the school in Canada, the school in the US and also the one in India, I was able to handle them well and secure a seat
