Harvard Business School

“WE ARE GOING TO PUSH YOU OVER THE LINE THIS YEAR”
These were the words I heard from Neha when I shared with her my responses to her thoughtfully-crafted “Getting to know you” questionnaire. As a reapplicant to the top business schools in the world, her words became my ray of hope and yes, she indeed helped me realize my dream!

Neha is someone who knows what it takes to bring out the best version of yourself into the B-schools essays. She was immediately able to understand each and every piece of my journey, and while staying authentic to myself, helped me draft a story that would be impactful enough to get me into Harvard Business School ????

She helped me with every part of the application, from the resume to the small in-application questions and post interview reflection, always working with a smile and sharing edits at light-speed! When in doubt about the culture and opportunities available at a particular school, she even helped connect me with alumni and also organized coffee-chats with top B-schools.

My most favorite part of the process was the extensive interview training with Neha! We did multiple mocks, where she came up with new questions each time, challenging me to break outside of my comfort zone. I am still in awe of her immense knowledge of the business world, which I personally got to learn a lot from. She made sure I was well prepared for any curve-ball that came my way.

Neha will be the professional yet personal guide to you, who you can trust blindly in this roller-coaster ride. She will motivate you through the tough times, make sure you stay on schedule and be as invested in your application as if it were her own.

I’m glad I worked with her in this mad process!

From Harvard, Wharton and Booth admit

As someone who likes to do things on their own, I was looking for a consultant who would coach me and bring out my voice rather than influence me to fit into a defined profile. When I talked to Neha, I knew right away that she believed in authenticity more than anything else – not trying to change a person into an “ideal” version but bringing out their unique strengths in a way that speaks to others.

Neha takes the time to get to know you – from what inspired you as a kid to what you learned in college to what kind of impact you are trying to create at work. She is an excellent resource in helping you connect the dots and do some deep introspection – laying the groundwork for the entire application.

Where her coaching distinctly stood out for me was the interview preparation – she went deep into why I had done the things I did – my motivations, my approach to decision- making, and my hope for the future. She asked me the “big questions” and helped me communicate my thoughts so I would feel comfortable doing so during the interviews – always focusing on enhancing my unique style. When I was worried or anxious, she urged me to trust myself – reminding me of all I had accomplished so far and helping me stay positive.

Neha is a terrific coach. She will always tell you the truth no matter how hard it is to hear sometimes. She will support your goals and will not dismiss anything as impossible (difficult, yes, but not impossible). Getting accepted into the schools I was aiming for would have been much harder without the training and support I received from Neha.

You don’t stand a chance”.

India’s top-ranked P&Q-rated consultant told me as I expressed my desire to apply to GSB.

I was dejectedbut not delusional, I knew my chanceswere limited but not 0.
A consultant in the industryrecommended Neha. This was the first time I heard one top- rated consultant saying such great things about another. I was intrigued.

During my first conversation with Neha, I learnt why.
Neha also knew my chanceswere slim but instead of changing our destination, she adjusted the sails and taught me how to steer.

The journey is the reward, and it truly was for me. Exploring events from my early childhood days till the presentation I made to my team yesterday, and taking a 30K ft view of it helped me understand myselfbetter. This elevatedself-awareness has helped me address my biases and challenges better.

Neha is not just another consultant; she is a true coach
MBA admissions is a very draining process;make sure you pick the right partner;make sure you pick a coach and not a consultant

Harvard Business School

Happy to share that with Neha’s support I got into multiple schools including HBS! I had spoken to multiple Consultants in India and abroad and realised that Neha would be my best at shooting my HBS shot and I’m so grateful for deciding to work with her. If you’re applying to Harvard or other top schools look no further than Neha.

Every applicant to these schools needs to stand out and find their core themes/USP. Neha is adept at asking probing questions and helped me uncover the deepest most visceral emotions that drive me! Best part was that even though I worked with her on only 3 schools, I could leverage these insights for multiple other schools and she was ready to help me prep for my interviews from these other schools too! I interviewed with four M7 schools and found HBS interview to be a completely different beast altogether.

I would not have been able to have such an incredible HBS interview experience without Neha’s support. She helped me go deep into each and every resume bullet point and bring to life these stories by sharing more context, actions and impact in a easily understandable and compelling manner. For my HBS interview prep she took out an extraordinary amount of time (even when she was on vacation!) to ensure that I’m fully prepared and confident. Her intense HBS interview preparation support helped me breeze through all sorts of in-depth questions asked in my HBS interview and helped me have extremely wonderful interviews with other schools as well. Immensely grateful to Neha for all her support and cannot recommend her enough to other HBS/T10 aspirants!

Before choosing a consultant, I had done an elaborate exercise, probably speaking to all the consultants that exist. For every consultant I considered workingwith, I spoke to atleast 5 students who had worked with them – including those who didn’t get their desired outcome. Everyonewho had workedwith Neha in the past had the same thing to say about her – she is like no other – and now at the end of this journey I can truly appreciate why.

She starts the process by helping you understand yourself better, finally clawing deep inside you to create a storyline that will be so unique to you, and yet so real. I am not exaggerating one bit when I say she is an extremely intelligent individual, and having her on my side was truly game changer for me. Her selfless passion to help me succeed, even when it meant spending more time with me, was what made all the difference in my result.

The time she puts in upfront getting to know you, also makes her an insightful and empathetic interview coach. She put her heart and soul in helping me prepare for the final lap of the HBS interview – playing the role of a coach, friend, teacher and a true well- wisher – helping me overcome my insecurities, nervousness and sometimes even imperfect professional knowledge.

Finally, be ready for some strict feedback, which you betterlearn to appreciate, for your own good 🙂

Harvard Business School

Neha is NOT a typical admissions consultant. I can’t stress this enough to prospective B-School applicants. From the very first conversation, she has been an amazing mentor, thought partner, and most importantly a ‘motivator’ through my application journey. Applying to Business School is an extremely grueling process – involving many months of soul searching and personal reflection, countless drafts of essays writing and gearing up for those 30-60 minute interviews that pose the final hurdle to the gates of the dream MBA. Neha’s unique, personalized and structured approach helped me navigate through each step of the process with extreme confidence. With her guidance, I was able to not only articulate my experiences and aspirations in an effective manner but also apply to all my target schools without any last minute panic! Sharing my application journey with Neha has been a great experience and she has undoubtedly played a critical role in my successful admits. Thanks a ton Neha! I’m heading to my dream school this fall and I look forward to having you as a friend and sounding board even in the years to come.

MIT Sloan

I got Neha’s reference from a good friend. After talking to her on phone, I was convinced that she was the right person to guide me in my business school applications. I wanted to apply to only top 5-6 business schools in the U.S. and therefore, wanted to work with someone who is absolutely best at what they do. Needless to say, Neha exceeded my expectations.
She diligently worked with me on understanding my life experiences, the decisions I have made, my motivation behind those decisions and many other nuances that can easily be missed. She handled my entire application process personally and was very attentive to small details. I was most impressed with her ability to extract a compelling story out of my entire experience, which formed the basis of all my b-school applications. I was myself surprised to see how significant my achievements were, and how compelling my personal and professional story was. I looked and became a much stronger candidate through the lens that she provided.

Her expertise and efforts directly helped me get interviews from Stanford, MIT, Wharton and Berkeley. Eventually, I received admission offer from MIT, and I’m awaiting positive results from Wharton and Berkeley. It was a pleasure to work with Neha and I couldn’t have achieved these results without her help. She deeply understands the subtle differences in how different business schools look at candidates, and helped me tailor my applications accordingly.

Columbia Business School

The MBA application process seemed particularly daunting to me because of my non-traditional political background. However, I was able to identify the programs that would benefit me most and gain admission into Columbia Business School thanks to the support and expert help I received from Neha Kamani and Seven Hats Consulting. Neha’s process required me to conduct a comprehensive analysis of my goals, background, skills and even childhood memories. As a result of the thorough and introspective tools provided by Seven Hats Consulting, I was able to craft an MBA application far more meaningful, passionate and comprehensive than I would have been able to otherwise. I received motivation and guidance every step of the way, from program selection to interview preparation.

Neha went the extra mile to connect me with alumni, organize coffee chats with admission committees and make sure that I was informed about the intricacies of every program that I applied to. I felt prepared at every step, and I am grateful for Neha’s hard work. The MBA is a transformative experience, and at Seven Hats this journey began with the application itself. I strongly recommend Neha Kamani’s Seven Hats Consulting to everyone who wants to maximize their potential and achieve their MBA dreams.

Columbia Business School

Hi Neha here you go:

“In my MBA journey, Neha was not just my consultant, but also my friend, mentor, and biggest cheerleader. She guided me through the various anxieties that arise throughout the process, always without judgment. Every conversation with her left me feeling energized, and working alongside Neha transformed the entire application process into something enjoyable and exciting with many possibilities.

We delved deep into my story, which allowed me to see myself in a new light! Her emphasis on uncovering and showcasing what makes me unique felt genuine and authentic, and boosted my confidence in my applications. Working with Neha went beyond merely applying to an MBA program; she focused on shaping me into a well- rounded individual. With her help, I was able to clearly articulate my goals, passions, and what motivates me. Moreover, she generously shared her extensive network and recommended relevant resources to help me deepen my interests and expertise. Her creativity in crafting essays and preparing for interviews enabled me to present my story in a compelling and concise manner. She consistently pushed me, ardently believing in me, especially when I did not so myself.

Furthermore, Neha doesn’t chase brand names; instead, she focuses on finding the school that aligns best with your personality and personal and professional aspirations. I am immensely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Neha, and I cannot recommend her enough. “

Neha was the only consultant I spoke to before embarking on the process for MBA admissions. While I had heard positive reviews from close friends who had been accepted to HBS, my first conversation with her strongly reaffirmed my thoughts- her focus was not on force fitting frameworks or solely defining potential as per traditional schools of thought, it was on whether I will be able to introspect and navigate the process through an authentic lens.
The Seven hats approach of systematically first understanding my life story in depth was a key differentiator according to me. We spent hours discussing each milestone and moment of my life, small or big, and Neha would ask just the right questions to make me question my beliefs and get to the truth. She also made the process very comfortable for me, which helped me share my story, even parts that I would have shared only with friends, with her. Before we had even begun writing first drafts, I knew that we were on the same page and more importantly felt very confident about the direction we would take.

The process of writing, editing and re-editing is very gruesome for any candidate, but Neha was very supportive throughout and very patient with me. She motivated me in times when I was tired of the process and ensured we fine tuned it till we both were completely satisfied with the output. Had it been for me, I would have stopped at version 10, but Neha made sure we got to the best output till version 20! When we had to change my essay days before the deadline due to life updates, which needed to be incorporated, she was more patient and calm than I was and helped me re-piece everything together.

Neha also helped me prepare for my interviews for each school, even if I had not applied for those schools with her. She gave valuable inputs on how to approach each interview format and helped me calm my nerves before some of them! She was a true partner in the process for me, I always felt like she had my back.

I was able to independently apply to multiple other schools in a very efficient manner because of the Seven hats approach. I overall managed to get into Stanford GSB and also got admits from Kellogg and Chicago Booth. I would highly recommend her to future B-school aspirants and suggest getting on a call with her to see if you are ready to take the plunge with the Seven Hats approach.
