GBAccepted to HBS and Booth :) Thanks to Ryan and his team I was accepted to 2 top programs - HBS and Chicago Booth!! I can't possibly recommend them more highly - professional, attentive, and highly-knowledgeable about the top programs and how to appeal to them. They're also expert consultants - they know how to plan ahead, keep you on track, and monitor your progress so that you're staying on top of things. Thanks so much!

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.

GBBest MBA consultant out there! Ryan was AMAZING to work with. When I first started navigating the MBA process, I wasn’t sure how to approach it. Ryan spent some time getting to know me, what my ambitions were, and helped me select schools to apply to that would best meet my goals. My application and essays went through multiple edits, and Ryan gave me valuable feedback with each draft which greatly enhanced my application. He only takes a few candidates per year, so he can dedicate valuable time to each candidate, which is awesome. I was accepted to 3 schools: HAAS, Johnson (Cornell), and Kellogg and received $40K-$60K scholarships at Cornell and Kellogg. This could not have been possible without Ryan’s support. I’m so grateful to him.

GBRyan is an admissions expert! Ryan is incredibly knowledgeable of the admissions process. I enjoyed working with him on my applications and found his guidance to be paramount to my success. Ryan cares deeply about his clients and works extremely hard to help them accomplish their educational goals (as he did with me). His passion and belief in me gave me the extra push to work harder under his guidance. I now hold an MBA from a Top-25 B-school and gained an offer from a prestigious consulting firm. Without Ryan, I would still be working a 9-5 job instead of passionately pursuing my long-term career goals and aspirations. Thanks again, Ryan!

SGGreat Admissions Consultant! Ryan was incredibly helpful, insightful, and a great resource for me to rely on to get through the process. He helped me identify key areas to focus on / strengths of my experience and helped craft essays (and a resume) that put my best foot forward to the admissions committee. His interview prep and mock interview were also very helpful in preparing for any and all questions that would be asked during the interview so I wasn't blind sided at all. I was well rehearsed without sounding robotic. Acceptances: Yale SOM NYU Stern UVA Darden Cornell Johnson (18k / year scholarship) UCLA Anderson (30k / year scholarship)
