mbaMission Offers $100 Ding Reviews for Round 1 HBS Applicants

Did you apply to Harvard Business School (HBS) in Round 1 and were released from further consideration, otherwise known as “dinged”? 

If so, we want to help you improve your chances for the coming application cycle.

Now through October 18, 2022, we are offering re-applicants the chance to enter to win a “ding review” for a fraction of the typical cost. If selected, our comprehensive ding review service (regularly starting at $700) will be available to HBS applicants for just $100. That’s a savings of over 85%

What you will get: If you are selected, the consultant conducting your ding review will reach out to ask you for a copy of a complete application (letters of recommendation included, if you have them.) Within two weeks of sending your application to your consultant, you will have a phone call with that consultant, who will review strengths and gaps, offer suggestions, and answer any questions you have about the review or about your strategy for your reapplication.

What’s more: Those among the selected applicants who sign up for an mbaMission Complete-Start-to-Finish Package service following their ding review will have that $100 credited to the package price. That’s right – your ding review service will be free! 

If you are interested in entering to be considered for the $100 ding review service, simply complete this form by October 18, 2022.
