ARLee Consulting Reviews 

Alex was an incredible coach throughout my MBA application journey, and I’m certain I couldn’t have achieved the same results without his help. From the start, he made the process, which can feel overwhelming, much more approachable and manageable with his consistent support and expertise.

Even during the stressful moments of applying to competitive schools, Alex was always available to answer my questions and provide valuable advice. His calm and supportive approach helped me stay focused and confident at every step.

What sets Alex apart is his ability to adapt his guidance to each individual. He took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, helping me craft a story that felt authentic in both essays and interviews.

I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for structured and reliable support during their MBA application process.

After a lot of searching I came across Alex. Here’s what you really need to know:

1. I can attest Alex’s support is what got me offers (with scholarships) at INSEAD, LBS, Oxford SAID, and Cambridge Judge.
2. I had a GMAT score of only 625 and a competitive but unremarkable CV with several issues needing addressing.
3. Alex works with you directly - no hidden fees, no inexperienced consultants, no bs - only results.
4. Alex will support you end to end: essays, questions, concerns - he has got you.
5. Alex is very experienced: he’s connected to the industry and is very up to date with all developments. His finger is on the pulse and he’s seen it all. You want this from an expert you are hiring.
6. Alex doesn’t money chase - he will tell you how much you owe, give you instalment plans; and time to pay. He’s a real human - and he wants you to win. His pricing is ridiculously reasonable for the results. I have not regretted a penny spent.
7. Alex will tell you if you have a chance or not. He won’t take your money if he knows there isn’t a chance and doesn’t make promises he cannot keep. He will be very real with you.
8. At the end Alex and I just became good friends than a transactional relationship. I would genuinely say he’s someone I will keep in touch with 10-20 years later. I am not sure how many consultants you can say that about.
9. Alex won’t do it for you or resort to ‘gimmicks’ and he will work as hard as you put yourself into it. Response and turnaround times are incredibly fast.
10. Take the process seriously, follow his instructions and guidance and you will gain admission.

Alex - could not have done it without you. We fought hard, won big, and celebrated well.

Thanks to a brother, friend, and guide.

Working with Alex was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my application process. Alex helped me gained an admit to the LBS GMiM programme, the only programme I applied for.

I decided to seek the help of a consultant because I was unfamiliar with the business school admissions process and I have non-traditional career goals and background, so I was looking for someone who can guide me in the right direction, help me structure my story, and help me understand what the school is looking for. I had a great first impression of Alex, because firstly, he was very quick to respond to my initial enquiry email, and secondly, during our initial call, he took the time to really understand my background and to understand what I was personally looking for.

It was a pleasure to work with Alex. Alex was always very easy to reach and was very quick to respond. Whether it is an essay draft or just a simple question, throughout the application process, he would always respond very quickly with well thought-out feedback or answers, which was something I greatly appreciated. For the application essays, Alex was really great in helping me structure my essays clearly and concisely, in a way that best presents my story and goals. He was really honest in highlighting which parts he liked and which parts he didn’t, which was exactly what I wanted. I also really appreciated his attention to detail, such as noticing spelling and grammar mistakes in my CV and essays for example. Alex’s experience as a former HR head and as a current alumni interviewer was also a great plus, and his advice and feedback during interview practice gave me a lot of confidence.

Overall, I think the best part of working with Alex was how much more relaxed he made the application process feel. Alex was always very genuine and positive, and it was genuinely enjoyable talking to him. Having an expert like Alex ensuring that I was going in the right direction took a lot of the stress away, and we ended up having a strong application that I was very happy with way ahead of the deadline. I would highly recommend working. I am very thankful for all the support he has given me, and I cannot recommend working with him enough.

10/10. I am thankful to GMATClub and Poets&Quants for introducing me to ARLee. Alex has been extremely helpful in understanding my ambitions and setting realistic steps towards achieving the same. Alex, being from INSEAD, as a student, alumni and interviewer, provides the best advice throughout the journey. With quick turn arond time, Alex ensures you have a solid plan and progress. His guidance has helped me put my best foot forward. The best aspect about ARLee services is that Alex sets the ground reality first and then motivates us to do our best.
