Inspira Futures

Inspira Futures helped take my essays from solid to stellar! My first draft felt a little stiff and too much like my resume – my consultant provided feedback I could use to improve it, one edit at a time. It helps that the communication was always regular and friendly!

I came to Inspira to help with all parts of my application, but I found the mock interview preparation especially useful. Understanding what admissions committees are looking for and how to talk about myself without stumbling was key to my success! 10/10.

The four-school package was really all-inclusive – from school selection to interview prep, I always felt well-supported. The interview preparation is what I needed the most help with. My consultant gave me great advice on how to regulate my pitch, maintain eye contact, and hold myself with confidence!

My consultant helped me work through my application documents in a systematic way so everything was ready before the deadlines. When I received an invitation to interview at Kellogg, I was nervous that I wouldn’t be as articulate as my application documents had been. We ran through interview simulations until I was confident without being “over-rehearsed.” It paid off! Can’t wait to start at Kellogg.

School selection was the main thing I struggled with when I came to Inspira – all the American business school options sounded like they would fit me. My consultant helped me determine which factors mattered to me most to finally decide on the four schools I wanted to apply to. I’m excited to continue my journey at Wharton!

The team at Inspira Futures is compassionate, and their insider knowledge is unmatched. My consultant helped me frame my application in a way that would appeal to Duke’s admissions committee. The project tracking is also very fleshed out – I enjoyed throwing ideas back and forth.

Despite the time zone difference, I was amazed that my consultant made the time and effort to connect with it was most convenient for me. They helped me prepare for Wharton’s group interview format, a style that I was unfamiliar with and intimidated by. The feedback I received 100% helped me perform my best on interview day!

Changing careers at any point in your life is a BIG step, but I’m happy I had Inspira’s guidance to help me through the MBA application process. My consultant answered all my questions about what top schools are looking for and how I could tailor my documents to share what my acceptance would bring to the class. Getting into the Haas School of Business will help me move from engineering to my next venture!

When I signed up to work with Inspira Futures, I was mostly concerned about how I would pay for my MBA. Through their team’s guidance and expert scholarship application building support, I was able to secure $120K in scholarships to fund my MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business!

I purchased the six-school package because I knew I needed to do everything I could to position myself as an ideal applicant. My consultant’s can-do attitude and their approach to finding my most impactful experiences and personality traits to highlight were so important to my success.

I was in a little bit of a time crunch to have my documents ready for Round 1 deadlines, and my consultant launched into action immediately after I signed up. The project tracker shared with me showed me precisely when we’d work on documents, so everything was ready by the deadline.

Inspira Futures helped me get into two of my top three schools! The available 24/7 element they advertise is true; I never had to wait too long for my consultant to answer my emails or offer to jump on a call.

I was amazed at the level of detail that was put into ensuring my MBA resume was uniform, impactful, and clear. Inspira Futures helped me write in a way that made sense of my experiences in the context of my application.

I knew I needed someone who would give me honest opinions and feedback on my application documents ahead of Round 1, and I found what I wanted in Inspira Futures’ end-to-end MBA program. My consultant went above and beyond with quick turnaround times and meticulous editing of all app parts, from my resume to my application essays.

Inspira Futures guided me through the whole process: school selection, resume/ essay development, and interview preparation. The team was always available to jump on a call which helped me feel supported and less anxious about the state of my application. They helped me build a great application narrative I used to boost my profile. There’s no question that I received multiple scholarships and acceptances to the United States’ top schools thanks to Inspira Futures.

I have Inspira Futures to thank for my acceptance to Harvard Business School. My consultant was always ready to hop on a call at any time to walk me through my application documents or questions I had – this type of all-inclusive service was a pleasant surprise. I felt like my consultant really cared about the outcome of my applications. The feedback I received from the final review was invaluable in giving my writing a last-minute boost.

I purchased the three-school package and was blown away by how friendly and driven my consultant was to support me through the MBA process. The prospect of such a monumental life change was intimidating, but I felt like I was in good hands with Inspira Futures’ consistent support.

Applying as an international student isn’t easy, so I was happy to receive support from Inspira Futures. While I knew I wanted to go to school in the U.S., their team helped me pick schools that aligned with my interests and explained why they would be a great fit. I was accepted to my first-choice school and couldn’t be happier with my MBA journey!

As an international reapplicant, I was worried that my chances of admission to my first-choice school would be low. My MBA admissions expert’s methodical and compassionate approach helped me understand how to strategically position myself through my essay writing (writing isn’t my strongest skill). Futures doesn’t cut corners, and I never felt rushed while we worked together. They worked with me despite the time zone difference, which I was worried would make getting together more difficult. Very grateful to the whole team - the final panel review really helped.

My consultant was the best! Transitioning from the military to an MBA program is something I’ve wanted for the past two years, and I finally decided it was time to take the plunge. The team helped me manage my transitional period and better understand each piece of the MBA admissions process. I’m eternally grateful to the Inspira Futures team for the responsive, compassionate support at every step – I’m so pleased to have been admitted to The Wharton School (with scholarships to boot)!

I would not have got into HBS without help from Arush and the team at Inspira. Having gone to a non-target undergrad and with work experience at a non blue chip company, I had no idea where I would land. But Inspira’s team has such a well structured process that they made the seemingly stressful MBA application feel like a cakewalk. Right from which schools to target, to how to look back at my history and pick up the right stories. Really thankful!

There was an army of folks working around my schedule. My coach stayed up till 11:30pm one evening because I got pulled into an important meeting at work. There were so many times she rescheduled our check-ins since my work schedule would keep changing. One of Inspira's adcom members provided feedback on my application on short notice since we were only a week away from the application deadline when I got done. I got in Sloan, Booth, Johnson, and Yale SOM, which was a dream come true. Super appreciative and grateful for the Inspira team's help!

You think you can do it without a consultant. You think, ah that's expensive, I'll just do it myself. Well.....bad idea. The extra money you spend on Inspira's help, which will ultimately help you get into your dream school, is a drop in the bucket considering all the costs associated with B-school and the opportunity cost of not getting into a top school.Arush is a mix between an editing guru and a psychologist. He helps you narrow down what you want to do in life and mold all the experiences into a compelling story. His customized schedule is perfect for someone, like me, who is working full time and trying to get all different aspects of the application not just done on time, but executed professionally.

Very appreciative of all the work that Amy and rest of the Inspira team has done! The MBA process has been so tedious and complex, that without an experienced counsel it is hard to get into the top schools. I am elated to be interviewing with HBS and Wharton!!

Arush acted both as a life-coach, spending hours introspecting on my life-story, and as a talented writer, helping me bring my stories to life. He was a master at navigating both the big picture and drilling down into the nuts and bolts. He forced me to keep my essays crisp, concise and to the point, while effortlessly adapting the style to fit both Harvard and Stanford.

I worked with Arush and his team at Inspira and thought the experience was worth every penny. I got into both the schools I had applied to (INSEAD and Columbia Business School). He was very responsive, gave excellent feedback and gave me as much time as I needed. I do not think my essays would have been as sharp without his help. He also helped me brainstorm ideas on how to make my story most impactful.When it came to interview rounds, it was helpful to do mock interviews. In short, Arush was available throughout the process for anything I needed. I definitely recommend working with him.

Really satisfied with the quick turnaround, quality of edits, and the caliber of Arush and his team. The communication was incredible. He patiently explained all the changes to me and also heard my perspectives. I could clearly feel how invested he was in helping me get accepted at my dream business school.

Coming from a non-traditional background, I felt pretty overwhelmed by the whole MBA application process, and was initially hesitant to get any type of consulting help. Looking back now however, getting Kamir's help was the best investment I could've made. Throughout the several months process, Kamir coached me on how best to share my story in a way that stuck true to who I am and where I want to go, while simultaneously keeping me organized/on track and even growing my writing skills. On top of that, I truly feel that I now know myself better both personally and professionally, beyond just for MBA applications, and have a strong idea of where I would like to go next. He is extremely insightful, knowledgeable and personable, and his vast experience in both MBA admissions and creative writing was invaluable to me as he helped me see how exactly the different bits and pieces of my story connected together in a coherent way. Additionally, he is extremely responsive and always willing to talk/answer any (big or small) questions along the way, which is incredibly helpful during such a stressful period. I got into Kellogg and Booth. Ended up deciding to go to Booth.

My favorite aspect of working with Arush and the Inspira team was how well they prepped me to begin writing my essays. Their MBA Action Plan assessment helped me recognize my areas of strength as well as my areas of weakness. While I had short and long-term plans, they helped me crystallize these ideas and articulate them in a manner that was cohesive and engaging, which is critical for any application. They also helped me identify aspects of my background that would be useful for some of the less traditional essays (e.g., Kellogg and MIT Sloan). I got into all the 4 schools that I applied to.

I got an interview at Wharton and Inspira helped me prep for it. I had questions about the team discussion and my consultant helped me elaborate my thoughts around my answers. I was pretty scared because Wharton was my dream school and I wanted to make sure I was as ready as possible. I also did the group interview prep and it was a great simulation of what actually happened during the real interview.

My Coach helped me realize that the application was about more than answering a series of challenging questions. The application was an opportunity for me to search within myself and identify with the accomplishments, failures, stories and values that I hold dear. It was an opportunity to transform those experiences and thoughts into a mosaic of words that conveyed why I was a special individual and deserving of a seat at HBS.

The Inspira team is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and overall great to work with! I had very little experience and prior knowledge about the MBA application process, and Inspira helped me navigate it every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with my experience and highly recommend Inspira for any MBA applicant.

I started off working with an automated platform and thought I won't need help with storytelling. But omg, the process is so taxing and stressful. I felt very lost after 11 iterations of my GSB essay (especially what matters most to you, and why?) and I worked with Sam on an hourly engagement. I booked four hours with him initially and ended up booking four more. It was such a good investment. This was the first time in the process when I felt like I was not alone. Got into GSB and boy am I happy I had Inspira's support.

Unsure of the differences between the European and the US business schools, I first reached out to Inspira for guidance on where to apply. From the initial school selection strategy to being admitted in the school of my top choice, the team at Inspira was invaluable. Most impressive was the guidance on the letters of recommendation. London is incredible and LBS is a great experience.

This was definitely one of the best investments of my life. There is no way I would have been able to go through the application process myself. I am currently at GSB and am immensely grateful to Inspira Futures for the support.
