I would like to thank Anubhav sir for his guidance throughout the application process. He pushed me to do better every time I talked to him by not sugarcoating the truth. He helped me tremendously with my essays making sure that every line was well thought out. Most of the interview questions he helped me prepare for turned up in one form or another during the actual interviews. The constructive feedback provided by Shivku sir after taking mock interviews was really valuable as well and helped me prepare for specific questions that I had not thought of. My overall experience was very positive and I am thankful to the entire team at Career Launcher.

Thinking about the factors that contributed to my admission at Johnson (Cornell), I cannot overstate the importance of a solid score on the GMAT. Coming from a non-STEM background (law), I was nervous about performing well on the GMAT. Enrolling in Career Launcher was one of the best decisions I made. Because of Career Launcher, I was able to secure 720 in my very first attempt, after a couple of months of preparation. In my view, Career Launcher is the one-stop solution for anyone looking to secure a 700+ score. From the very first day, Career Launcher set an achievable plan for me to succeed on the GMAT, identifying my strengths and weaknesses, and setting relevant actionables which helped me make leaps of progress in my practice tests. Shashank single-handedly helped me build the foundations of Quant. His classes were extremely well structured, thorough and strategic. He was always approachable and actively invited students to seek him outside of class to address doubts. Mayur’s approach to the Verbal section on the GMAT was impeccable, exactly what one needs to traverse the nuances of the tricky reading comprehensions and sentence correction questions on the GMAT. All in all, hats off to the team of Career Launcher. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any one who is preparing for the GMAT and is looking for professional help and guidance.
Thank you for giving me such an experience

Career Launcher helped me take the next step after writing my GMAT exam and achieving a 99 percentile. I knew I had chances in the top tier colleges, but only 4 years of work experience meant I needed to craft my profile accordingly and not jump the gun on wishful thinking. This is where Mr Anubhav from Career Launcher helped me immensely temper my profile and aid me in thinking from a managerial perspective. Anubhav provided much-needed help in building my profile and tailoring my essays. There were numerous iterations of draft essays until the final versions transpired. The mock interviews also simulated real-time interview experience and helped me work on my drawbacks and loopholes. The result exceeded my expectations. Not only did I successfully get admission at ISB, but I also made it through to IIM Ahmedabad's PGPX course and other world top 10 B schools in HEC Paris and IE Spain etc. I can only thank Career Launcher for their holistic approach and continued support in transforming my dreams into reality.

I am grateful to Career Launcher for helping me secure admissions to my dream schools in the US. I was consulted by Mr. Anubhav Seth, who helped me throughout the application process to identify my career goals and apply accordingly to programs that fit the best with my current skill sets. I applied to the Master of Business Analytics program at MIT Sloan School of Management, Columbia University, and Georgia Institute of Technology, and I was fortunate enough to secure admission offers from all of them. His advice and suggestions helped me a lot in iteratively refining the application essays and videos. For the interview preparation, Mr. Anubhav helped me with multiple mock interviews with subject matter experts that helped me gain confidence and get prepared. The whole personalized counseling experience was tremendous and helped me secure admissions to all the schools I applied to in the US.

It was a very focused, and deliberate, support from my Mentor at Career Launcher that laid the foundation for me to ace the admission process in Yale SOM. My NIFT background meant that I was arguably in need of Math support, which came through as a default and in addition, I also learnt a lot from the counseling support I received from my Mentor. He ensured that at every point of time during our sojourn, I was working to lift my profile up from a star performer to a holistic superstar (in the eyes of the ad-com). Thanks indeed!

I wanted to pursue a MIM from any of the top 10 programs of the world right after my undergraduate degree. My low GMAT score and engineering background got me to doubt my chances of getting into a top B school. I was always in touch with consultants of Career Launcher throughout the year with my queries and hence decided to take their help with my applications. From the journey of shortlisting the B schools to receiving the admit letter, they have strived continuously to get me into my dream B school. I do not think anybody puts as much effort into helping students to personalize their SOPs and essays along with constant guidance. They know how to portray a student's endeavors in the best possible manner to bring out a compelling essay. The interview sessions were of great help, and I learned how to deal with any questions. The result was the conversion of my applications to admits in top B schools such as ESSEC and ESCP Europe. I would suggest Career Launcher to anyone who dreams of getting into the best.

The admission consulting experience with CL has been remarkably smooth and rewarding. I was guided in every step of the way: from choosing the right schools to preparing for GMAT and IELTS. The counselors were not only knowledgeable; they were also good listeners. They were all ears whenever I was in a dilemma regarding my career choices, and they also elucidated about the possibilities that lie ahead for me, thanks to their experience in counselling students from Tier-1 engineering colleges. I'd recommend everyone considering a career in management to get in touch with CL. It'll clear the clutter viz a viz the complex admission process and would let the candidate get insights about life post-B-school.

My application shone because of a lot of microscopic reviews & magnificent support from my Mentors! The support I received from Career Launcher Mentors was unstinted and always top class. I felt really relieved after meeting my Mentors because they helped me bring a solidity to my Verbal performance, given that I am from an Architectural background. In addition, my sister's experience with them also helped me be convinced about CL as the place to seek admission consulting support from!

When I started looking for admission consultants before round 1 of full-time MBA applications, I talked to a couple of Indian consulting agencies and got to know about their process. Last year, a couple of my friends had applied for MBA abroad and received guidance from other consulting agencies. I had heard a couple of bad reviews from them, hence I was very skeptical about whose guidance I should take so that I won't have to regret later. When I spoke with Bharath Sir from Career Launcher, I was quite convinced that he would rightly be able to help me in the entire process and decided to go with Career Launcher. After discussing the initial process, Anubhav Sir helped me with all my essays. My initial list of schools was very different from the schools to which I actually applied. We discussed in detail and he made me understand the factors on the basis I should be shortlisting schools. I received fair advice on every school I selected. We used to discuss essay prompts and he guided me to identify the right incidences in my life that could represent best of me in the essays of schools. On the deadlines, he used to be awake till late night to help me with applications. During the mock interviews, before every school’s interview, he took 3-4 mock interviews of mine and gave me feedback. I could see my application process was as important to him as it was for me. He pointed me in the right direction and mentored me really well throughout the process. Finally in round one, I could apply to 5 business schools, landed in interviews of 3, waitlisted in one post-interview and converted 1 with a scholarship - Tepper business school.

FAQ's

In almost all cases, Ivy League schools demand a GPA of 4.0, which amounts to more than 90%.

Although it is true that Ivy League graduates are often drawn to finance jobs because of the close proximity of these prestigious schools to financial centres like New York City, it is important to note that many of them also venture into the tech industry. In fact, they frequently find themselves in fields such as product management, software engineering, and data analytics.

In terms of overall reputation, each Ivy League school has its strengths and specialties. As per usnews.com, Princeton ranks the highest at number one position in the USA, followed by Harvard University and then Yale University. Remember that all Ivy League institutions are renowned for their safety and security measures, ensuring a secure environment for their students. However, it is important to note that safety is subjective and can vary based on individual needs and preferences. It is recommended to thoroughly research each institution's safety policies and resources before making a decision.

Applying to all Ivy League schools takes time, effort, and money. Thus, choosing universities that match your ambitions is essential. Focus on interest, not prestige. Applying to Ivy League colleges should match your academic goals and career objectives, not just their prestige. Consider factors like curriculum, professors, campus culture, and extracurricular activities. Furthermore, as Ivy League admissions are difficult, a well-balanced list of Ivy League and non-Ivy League schools guarantees a careful approach to college applications, improving your chances of finding the ideal match for your academic and career path.

Ivy League schools usually expect high SAT scores, but there is not a fixed number as it varies each year. A good score is typically in the range of 1500-1600.

To make an informed decision about which Ivy League university is the best fit for you, consider factors like the university's location, campus culture, academic programs, extracurricular opportunities, and the overall atmosphere. By considering these aspects, you can determine which Ivy League institution aligns most closely with your interests and goals.

Attending an Ivy League school can certainly provide valuable networking opportunities and enhance one's profile. However, it is important to note that success in life is not solely determined by the institution one attends, but rather by one's dedication, hard work, and ability to seize opportunities. Many individuals thrive in their careers having attended other reputable institutions.

Admissions to Ivy League schools are highly competitive. While a high SAT score is important, it is not the sole determining factor. Admissions committees consider a holistic view of each applicant. Therefore, it is possible to get accepted to an Ivy League school even with lower SAT scores, provided that the rest of your application showcases your unique strengths and potential.

The average GRE scores of Ivy League schools vary, but they generally have high standards for admissions. Generally, competitive programs require applicants to have higher scores. Science and technology programs tend to have higher expectations, placing greater emphasis on Quant scores, whereas arts, humanities, and social sciences programs often prioritize verbal scores. The average GRE scores for applicants admitted to IVY LEAGUE schools typically fall between 155 and 166 for the Verbal section, and between 155 and 170 for the Quantitative section.

Ivy League schools have rigorous academic standards, but with proper dedication and support, students can succeed. However, the workload and expectations can be challenging. Students at Ivy League schools are constantly pushed to excel in their coursework and participate in extracurricular activities, which can be overwhelming at times. The competitive environment also adds to the difficulty of graduating, as students are constantly comparing themselves to their high-achieving peers. Despite these challenges, the prestige and opportunities that come with an Ivy League degree make the hard work and effort worthwhile for many students.

Some Ivy League schools recommend or require SAT Subject Tests, but policies vary. Check the specific requirements of each school you're applying to.

Getting into Ivy League schools is tough, with only 3% to 7% getting accepted. To boost your chances, you should not only demonstrate exceptional academic ability but also showcase your personality in college essays and display your initiative and leadership skills through extracurricular activities.

While awards do help, they do not determine admissions decisions. Admissions officers might also be impressed by outstanding traits shown via other areas, such as academics, extracurriculars, and personal narratives.
