GBI had such a great experience working… I had such a great experience working with Ryan's team. They were so supportive and helpful every step of the way and are really true experts in the field of business school admissions. I love their strategy of making sure that every consultant only takes on a few clients at once to ensure that clients are treated like gold. Phenomenal experience, phenomenal results. I was accepted to both schools they helped me with. Looking forward to attending Booth next year!

GBAdmitted to three MBA programs As an international candidate, I had a lot to learn about the business school application process. I was extremely happy that a friend and former coworker recommended me to Ryan! He provided fantastic guidance through the entire application process, always gave great and candid advice, and was very patient with me. He made me feel confident in my candidacy, even when I had some doubts, and was always willing to give me a pep talk when I needed one. He was so patient, and has an amazing strategic mind and so much knowledge about MBA applications. My results were unexpected to me: I got into Kellogg, Haas, and Cornell with a $50,000 per year scholarship, even though my GMAT score was below the average for these schools. I can't wait to move the United States and start business school in the fall! I could not have done it without Ryan, I'm certain!

GBI can't say enough about my great… I can't say enough about my great experience working with Ryan Barba and team. They provide super high-quality, attentive service and I don't think I would've gotten into a top-notch business school without them. They are direct and clear with their guidance and always available to answer any questions you have throughout the process. They're clearly vested in doing everything possible to make you successful. I was accepted to MIT Sloan, Tuck (Dartmouth), and Haas (U Cal Berkeley) with their help.

GBSuccess story! Admitted to HBS, Sloan, Tuck I worked with Ryan on my MBA applications in 2023, applying round 1 (September) and I had a fantastic experience working with Ryan. I dreamed of being accepted to a top school in the Boston / New England area, and I was accepted to Harvard Business School, MIT Sloan, and Dartmouth (Tuck) - all 3 schools I worked on with Ryan! Of course, I couldn't have been more excited with these results! Ryan is super credible, filled with school-specific knowledge that equipped me to create high-quality applications that really spoke to what what each school looked for, and even gave me clarity around my career goals and how to position myself uniquely and articulately. His advice was invaluable. Working with Ryan was actually fun (not what I expected for the MBA admissions process). He always made our calls enjoyable and collaborative, and he wasn't above giving me a little "pep talk" when I doubted my candidacy and background - I came from a non-traditional background and had doubts that my application would be competitive. Ryan really knows his stuff, and I never would have been as successful in this process without his guidance and mentorship!
