In short
After repeated rejections applying on his own with ChatGPT, Dalai — who wanted a premium MBA without leaving his job in India — worked with GAP to shortlist right-fit schools, refine his story, and apply strategically. He converted all three target GEMBA programs — INSEAD, Cambridge and IE — each with a scholarship.
The problem
Dalai faced repeated rejections applying independently (using ChatGPT for MIT, Stanford and Kellogg) and was confused about which right-fit global MBA would let him keep working in India.
How GAP helped
Strategic school shortlisting around his 'premium MBA while working in India' constraint.
Story refinement into a sharp, school-aligned narrative.
End-to-end, ROI-focused mentorship through essays and interviews.
The result
- Converted INSEAD, Cambridge and IE — all three targets.
- Scholarships at each: 20% (IE), 18% (INSEAD), 10% (Cambridge).
- A premium MBA path without pausing his career.
In their words
“Before finding Global Admission Prep, I tried applying on my own using ChatGPT for schools like MIT, Stanford, and Kellogg – but unfortunately, nothing converted. I was also confused about which schools truly fit my goals. What I knew for sure was that I wanted a premium MBA degree while continuing to work in India to avoid a high opportunity cost. That's when Global Admission Prep stepped in. They helped me shortlist the right schools, refine my story, and guided me end-to-end through the process. With their mentorship, I converted all three – IE, Cambridge, and INSEAD – each with scholarships. Their clarity, strategy, and personal support made all the difference.”
