Think of admissions consulting firms like shoes.

Yea, Nike is a reputable name brand. They make quality shoes but also some shitty ass shoes too.

At the end of the day, the specific shoe you get is much more important than the brand name.

The same goes for admissions consulting. SBC has some great consultants, has some shitty consultants. Hard to qualify for the entire company. Individual fit way more important, brand name means nothing. Talk to friends, do free consultations, research before signing up for anything.

After all, just like shoes, you’re working with an individual, not the company.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?
