why work with Sarfraz?

Unique Combination of GMAT & Admission Consulting knowledge

Sarfraz is one of those rare individuals who is as adept at GMAT tutoring as he is at the admission consulting process. This unique combination allows him keep the big picture in mind while coaching you for the GMAT – he would know exactly how your GMAT prep is progressing and the kind of scores you want to be looking at given your unique profile and your target schools.

This helps take some of the pressure off you and allows you to channel your energies in more productive pursuits, such as strengthening certain weaker aspects of your application rather than retaking the GMAT multiple times.

Conversely, if he feels that you haven’t hit the GMAT score that he thinks you are capable of getting, he will keep encouraging you to retake. This kind of practical insight no other tutor or consultant can provide you.

Makes you Punch above your Weight

Sarfraz believes in encouraging applicants to punch above their weight, even when their GMAT scores are not stellar. He consistently motivates them to apply to top-tier MBA programs, including the M-7 schools, alongside other reach schools. This approach has led to numerous success stories where students with lower-than-average GMAT scores have gained admission to programs with significantly higher median scores. By strategically showcasing their unique strengths and potential, Sarfraz helps applicants achieve what might initially seem out of reach.

Worked with Applicants from Multiple Countries

While we are based in India and work with many Indian students, Sarfraz' approach to admissions consulting is truly global. He has successfully guided students from diverse countries, including the USA, UK, China, France, and even smaller nations like Ukraine and the Philippines. This broad experience allows him to tailor his strategies to different cultural contexts and educational backgrounds, ensuring that applicants are well-prepared for the unique challenges of the admissions process.

Strong Personal Connect

Given the paucity of time at his disposal, Sarfraz only works with about 30 students for each B-School application cycle. This selective approach allows him to dedicate the time and attention needed to thoroughly understand your unique profile, strengths, and aspirations. With this in-depth focus, he can tailor his guidance to your individual needs, helping you craft a compelling application that truly stands out.

Extreme levels of hand holding

We provide an unparalleled level of handholding throughout the entire B-school admission process, understanding that it can be complex and overwhelming. Our students have direct access to Sarfraz at all times, ensuring that every question is answered promptly, without the need for booking appointments or waiting 48 hours for a mail’s response. This accessibility and responsiveness are core to our approach, allowing you to navigate the admission process with confidence and clarity.

Strategic Approach to Applications

Sarfraz' approach to admissions is highly strategic, tailored to maximize each applicant's chances of success. Whether it's advising a student to apply in Round 3; strategically spreading applications across Rounds 1 and 2; or considering January versus September intakes, he carefully assesses all aspects of applicants' profiles and goals, correlating these with each school's acceptance rates, program specifics, and other criteria to craft a cohesive, customized plan. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every application is strategically positioned, giving our students the best possible shot at gaining admission to their target programs.

Admits from all top B-Schools

Sarfraz has successfully guided students to gain admission to the most prestigious business schools worldwide, including Harvard Business School, Stanford, Wharton, Chicago Booth, Duke, Ross, Cornell, London Business School, INSEAD, and more. His deep understanding of what these top programs seek in candidates, combined with his tailored approach, has consistently helped our students stand out and secure spots at their dream schools.

He makes you believe in the Impossible

"I approached Sarfraz Sir for help with my GMAT preparation, particularly because while my math was strong, I had always struggled with English. Sarfraz Sir's teaching was exceptional; he introduced me to several strategies that significantly improved my accuracy.

Despite scoring 700+ on practice tests, my nerves would get the better of me on test day, and I could only manage a 640. I was demoralized and felt inadequate, but Sarfraz Sir never lost faith in me. He consistently encouraged me, believing in the strength of my profile beyond just my GMAT score.

He literally coaxed me to apply to some top schools, including Oxford, and to my surprise, I was admitted. This was just the beginning—his encouragement led me to apply to more prestigious schools, and I ended up getting admits from Rotman, NYU, and ESADE. Although he urged me to aim even higher and apply to INSEAD and LBS, I was more than happy with my offers and decided to join Oxford.

I owe all my admits to Sarfraz Sir, but more importantly, he taught me the importance of perseverance and never giving up. He is truly an inspirational mentor."

Sarfraz sir is the Best!

"I had previously worked with Sarfraz for my undergraduate applications, so naturally, when it came time for my MBA applications five years later, I didn't even consider any other consultant. My focus was solely on applying to the M7 schools in the US and LBS outside the US, but with a GMAT score of 700, many people on online forums warned me it wouldn’t be enough.

Sarfraz was the only person who assured me that my score wasn’t a problem. He emphasized that we needed to sell my profile and story effectively, especially given my family business background, which often isn’t favored by admissions committees.

Sarfraz’ immense contribution was in crafting and presenting my story. He is not only a brilliant writer but also an exceptional strategist. He conceptualized my entire narrative cohesively, ensuring there were no loose ends or question marks.

I vividly remember how he reassured me after my HBS interview, which I thought I had bombed because it focused on an obscure topic. He explained what HBS was trying to ascertain through such an interview and was proved right when I was admitted to HBS, Kellogg, and LBS, with a waitlist at Stanford.

Sarfraz has worked with more than a dozen people in my close and extended family and friends circle, and everyone only has great things to say about him. His strategic insights and ability to craft compelling stories are unparalleled, making him an invaluable partner in the admissions process."

Extremely Knowledgable about the Strategic aspects of Admissions

"I believe I was a difficult case. As a reapplicant who already had an MBA from ISB, I had worked with a popular admissions consultant the previous year but didn’t even secure an interview invite from any of my target schools. Sarfraz came highly recommended by a close friend, so I set up an initial discussion with him. In that very session, Sarfraz managed to identify several red flags in my previous application that I, and my previous consultant, had overlooked, which was quite enlightening and reassuring.

Since I was a reapplicant, I couldn’t completely change my goals or other key information that I had already provided to the schools. However, Sarfraz still managed to find enough areas to differentiate my current essays from my previous applications while subtly addressing each of the red flags he had identified. As a result, I received interview calls from Wharton, Columbia, Duke, and Ross and eventually got admitted to Columbia.

In hindsight, what helped me tremendously was how Sarfraz tailored his deep experience with the admissions process to the specific requirements of the business schools and linked those with key aspects of my profile, filling in any gaps we identified. He knows exactly what he is doing, and you would do well to just trust his process and let him work his magic. Sarfraz was a real lifesaver for me, and I strongly recommend his services to everyone, especially reapplicants."
