From school selection to refining his story and acing Wharton’s team-based interview, GyanOne guided him every step.
His journey proves that with the right support, ambition turns into admission.
Goldman to Global:
Vishal’s Fast-Track to Wharton Lauder
GMAT: 740
School Admits:
Wharton Lauder MBA/MA Joint Degree
Vishal Soam, a Senior Analyst at Goldman Sachs, set his sights on the Wharton Lauder MBA/MA program. With global experience and fluency in Japanese, he had the profile—but needed help navigating the dual-degree application. We stepped in to shape his narrative, align his strengths to Lauder’s values, and guide him through every detail. Our support played a key role in his admit to Wharton Lauder and his leap toward a global business career.
Data, Drive, and a Columbia Admit:
Srilekha’s Leap from Goldman to CBS
GMAT: 750
School Admits:
Columbia Business School (CBS)
Srilekha, a data strategist from Goldman Sachs, had the numbers but needed help turning her technical wins into a leadership story. She lacked global exposure and confidence in interviews which were two big hurdles for top B-schools. We stepped in to craft her narrative, prep her for Columbia’s video interview, and position her as a high-impact future leader. The result? A well-deserved admit to Columbia Business School.
From Jitters to Jackpot:
How Harsh Cracked Kellogg (and More)
GMAT: 710
School Admits:
Kellogg, Yale, McCombs
Harsh had the profile, but the pressure of Kellogg’s interview process shook his confidence. We stepped in with a focused prep plan that encompassed mock interviews, profile deep-dives, and Kellogg-specific coaching to help him find his voice and strategy. His final interview was far from perfect, but solid prep won the day. The result? Admits from Kellogg, Yale, and McCombs. Proof that the right support turns nerves into wins.
Rejected, Rebuilt, Admitted:
Tushar’s Comeback Story to Kellogg
GRE: 329
School Admits:
Kellogg
Tushar, a seasoned marketer from MakeMyTrip and Freshworks, faced rejection from Kellogg in his first attempt, even with a solid GRE and standout profile. But he didn’t quit. We helped him rework his entire application, reframe his story, and prep with clarity and confidence. In just 8 months, juggling work, recovery from COVID, and a second shot at Kellogg, Tushar nailed the interview and secured his dream admit. His journey proves that resilience, the right strategy, and expert support can turn any “no” into a powerful “yes.”
From ZS to Kellogg:
Varad’s Strategy for Success
GMAT: 740
School Admits:
Kellogg
With a solid GMAT and sharp consulting experience at ZS, Varad had the raw material—but limited work years and niche industry focus made Kellogg a stretch. We helped him shape a broader story, refine his goals, and prep strategically for interviews. The result? An admit to Kellogg and a leap toward his dream of breaking into strategy consulting. His story proves that with the right guidance, even “narrow” profiles can land big.
From Code to Kellogg:
Tania’s Career Switch with a Story
GMAT: 740
School Admits:
Kellogg
From software testing at Amazon to shaping strategy at Kellogg—Tania made the leap. Unsure if her tech-heavy profile fit an MBA, she worked with us to sharpen her goals, tie in her artistic passions, and showcase her growth. We helped her reframe her story for Kellogg’s theme of inspiring growth, turning doubts into a powerful, purpose-driven pitch. The result? A seat at Kellogg and a whole new career chapter..
10 Countries, 10+ Years, 1 INSEAD Admit:
Saumya’s Story of Grit
GMAT: 720
School Admits:
INSEAD
With 10+ years of experience and no global work stints, Saumya’s INSEAD dream was a bold one. We helped her turn personal resilience and a rich, non-linear journey into a powerful narrative that resonated with the adcom. Despite the odds, she made it to INSEAD, proving that lived experience, when framed right, is just as powerful as international exposure.
From Google to London:
Divya’s LBS MBA Breakthrough
GMAT: 710
School Admits:
London Business School (LBS)
With roles at Mu Sigma and Google, Divya had a strong resume—but short leadership stints and limited exposure to broader business areas raised concerns. We helped her own her story, highlight her impact, and position her goals with clarity and purpose. With tailored essays and interview prep, Divya earned her place at LBS, ready to shape sustainable, inclusive products at a global scale.

Oxford, Cambridge, LBS –
Prasham Did That
GMAT: 700
School Admits:
Oxford, Cambridge, London Business School (LBS)
With experience at McKinsey, Deloitte, and Indian Oil, Prasham had range—but needed help tying it all together. We helped him shape a compelling, purpose-driven narrative that highlighted his adaptability, leadership, and cross-sector impact. The payoff? Triple admits to Oxford, Cambridge, and LBS. Proof that with the right positioning, even a 700 GMAT can open elite doors.
