I enrolled with Fortuna admissions to help with my applications for INSEAD and LBS. I found their consulting service very professional and organized. My assigned coach worked with me on my applications over a period of 3 months. She was especially approachable and is a very passionate individual. She made it very easy for me to work with her, allowing flexible timings for our meetings and with a quick response time. She was very persistent in getting the best efforts out of me in terms of the right stories and in organizing and structuring the content for essays to suit the admission criteria of the school. My coach gave very honest feedback on the application and was in full control of all the aspects from resume to interview prep. Yet another positive aspect is that she went the extra mile to pull out information and reference materials that helped with the application. Overall I am very pleased with the coaching provided to me and with the services of Fortuna Consulting.
It has been a great experience working with Fortuna! With thier help along the way, I got into my dream school with a GMAT that is 20 points below the average. My coach was always very professional and went beyond her way to help me during the application process. During the six month process, we had regular communication about my concerns, rewrote my essays countless times and discussed what the best strategy was in certain situations during the process. As an ex-admission officer herself, my coach had tremendous insight into the schools that I applied to and was always willing to share these. Big thanks to Fortuna Admissions!
Fortuna uses its intimate knowledge of the business school admissions process right from the moment they match you with a team of two admissions consultants who have once been "insiders" at your dream schools. Fortuna consultants are incredibly generous with their time and attention at every step of the process. Their help is particularly invaluable in terms of deciding one's "positioning" and the specific hook on one's essays. I will be attending Wharton this fall with an exceedingly generous scholarship!
I decided to work with an admissions consultant because I wanted to be fully informed about the admissions process, and I only wanted to go through it once. I worked with Fortuna for eight months in what I found to be a very personalized process. From the start, Fortuna helped me prioritize the correct activities, which gave me confidence knowing that I was making the best use of my time. I also really appreciated how responsive Fortuna was, particularly closer to deadlines: they answered my questions almost immediately, returned edited documents within only a few hours (and sometimes even overnight), and I could schedule calls within 24h and at my preferred times.
From start to finish, my Fortuna coach was a great sounding board, helping me think about how to structure the thoughts and messages I wanted to put across within my applications. She was always readily available and really proactive in checking in on my progress. Her feedback was almost immediate and working with her felt like a very personalized experience. I felt she knew me inside out by the time applications were due and will always be thankful for her guidance and suggestions - no stone left unturned!
I decided to work with an MBA admissions coach 12 weeks before the HBS Round 1 application deadline. From the first minute of my 1.5h application kick-off call with Fortuna’s HBS expert, I felt that she shared my desire to win. She clearly considered my application her Full-Time job. Thanks to her excellent essay editing skills and her continuous availability, we managed to come up with a picture-perfect essay in less than four weeks. She shared extremely valuable HBS insider tips that no one else (e.g. HBS alumni) would provide me. Working with my Fortuna coach – who knows HBS inside out – really made the difference. Five months after I started working with Fortuna, I can call myself a proud HBS admit, and I don’t know how I would have done without Fortuna’s help.
Fortuna was absolutely integral to my success at getting into Stanford GSB. My Fortuna coach guided my MBA process from start to finish, be it in big picture thinking about the best way to frame my story to the nuts and bolts of the application itself. My coach and her team’s experience in the actual MBA admissions offices were invaluable and definitely helped me feel confident I had an insider’s view into how the process works and what traits to highlight at each school to which I applied. My coach is also a generally lovely person, and I always looked forward to our phone calls. Thank you, Fortuna!
As a film producer with a background in PR, I knew setting my sights on the top MBA programs in Europe was going to be a challenge. Working with Fortuna is the single best decision I made before applying and I would strongly encourage anyone looking to apply to an MBA to choose Fortuna. Their collective experience working on the inside of the world’s top business schools, their keen insight into the specifics that will make candidates stand out, and their meticulous process in crafting applications, is truly a winning combination. For me, it resulted in the best possible outcome.
Having gone through the application process unsuccessfully the previous year I am able to especially appreciate the constant support and guidance that I have received from Fortuna throughout my application journey this year. Looking back, I do not think I could have asked for a better guide. Going to business school is a significant investment of time and money and is probably one of the most important decisions I have made. I am glad to have had Catherine's advice, encouragement and support during this journey and could not recommend her and Fortuna highly enough.
I really cannot thank Fortuna enough for helping me get into a top school. I was a prospective student with a low GMAT score initially. After starting to work with Fortuna, I ended up delaying my application. This was because we decided I needed to get my GMAT score up in order to apply and get accepted into a top school. They could've pushed me to just apply the first time around because it was easier, but they guided me toward the longer, harder road. Because I delayed and restarted my application the next year, they essentially worked with me twice. They were so supportive the entire time and really pushed me to get my story straight. Each of our sessions was like a therapy session to dig deeper and bring out my true story.
