Case Study 1: Caucasian New York Female working in Fashion Industry

When I met with my EXPARTUS® advisor for the first time, what I lacked in time to spare before my first application deadline I made up for in determination – and raw materials, i.e. my background.

But these materials that collectively comprised my educational, professional and personal past did not necessarily follow a single path or form a clearly directed resume. Specifically, I jumped from one job to another – to a third – in the little over four years I had been out of college, and the jobs ranged from financial to creative in nature.

I could boast good grades from a well-respected undergraduate institution and a solid GMAT score, but so could most of my competition. I had some extracurricular activities to speak of, but none that were particularly out of the ordinary.

The Challenge: When I met with my EXPARTUS® advisor for the first time, what I lacked in time to spare before my first application deadline I made up for in determination – and raw materials, i.e. my background. But these materials that collectively comprised my educational, professional and personal past did not necessarily follow a single path or form a clearly directed resume. Specifically, I jumped from one job to another – to a third – in the little over four years I had been out of college, and the jobs ranged from financial to creative in nature. I could boast good grades from a well-respected undergraduate institution and a solid GMAT score, but so could most of my competition. I had some extracurricular activities to speak of, but none that were particularly out of the ordinary.

The EXPARTUS® Solution: Enter EXPARTUS®. In an impressively short period of time, my Brand Advisor uncovered more about me than many people ever could, and we immediately set to work to fit all of my experiences into a single, powerful and unique brand. This EXPARTUS® method of “branding” enabled me complete a consistent application in which all of the elements of my story reinforced one another and all supported a central theme – my brand. Working with EXPARTUS® forced me to look within myself more than I ever could have or would have on my own. The result was an application that was 100% genuine and written from my heart; a quality that I am confident came through to the admissions committee in a subtle, almost inexplicable way.

The Outcome: The final outcome was an acceptance to my top choice MBA program, something I don’t think I could have achieved without my advisor’s expertise. Her insight into the admissions process, coupled with her ability to brand clients, is unmatched. Her warm and rich personality is simply an added bonus, and her level of commitment to you as a client is top-notch. I would sum up my overall EXPARTUS® experience with a few main sentiments: motivationally challenging, intriguingly introspective, and sweetly rewarding. As I embark with great excitement upon this next chapter of my life, I feel added confidence knowing how hard I worked to earn my acceptance and knowing that my “coach” will forever be a mentor to me.
