In today’s day and age, 1 in 5 business school applicants hire an admissions consultant and this number is set to increase. While it is just 20% at present, given the competitive pool of applicants it makes sense to consult one in your application process. A good consultant will ease the process while providing insight into each business school’s requirements. (Also read: Why should you hire a consultant). Now that you have some idea about the importance of a consultant, the second step is deciding which one to go for. While you have to answer this question for yourself, we will ease the process for you regarding which questions you should ask to finalize your decision. Here are some pertinent factors to consider: 1. How many years of experience do you have?The proof of the pudding is in the eating! If a consultant has enough years behind them, they have the required industry experience. Experience also means they are thorough with the industry trends and can go beyond what Google offers. There is no single answer about the number of years a consultant must have before being marked credible, but it should be enough to convince you about appointing them as your consultant and trusting them with your application. 2. Are they comfortable working with you?Each person has a unique personality, so it is necessary to figure out if you gel well with your consultant. It is always important to see if they have dealt with a candidate from your background, academic, and work profile. Given that you will be working with each other for at least a few months if not a year, your values should align, and there has to be a mutual understanding, comradery, and connection. If there is persistent friction and disagreement, then it will only increase the difficulty of an already challenging application process.
