How IBS Helps
01.
Research
The most important aspect of a successful application is research about the right programs, their admission requirements, their deadlines and how your personal story makes you unique per their preferred candidate profiles
02.
Narrative Building
For programs like MBAs, a student’s personal profile and their unique life experiences become an unmatched advantage when framed within the leadership and resilient capabilities most programs and graduate schools seek. We help you position your story for application success.
03.
Application Tracking
We help you piece together all required documentation for each application from essays to compelling statements and witty responses to supplemental essay questions.
04.
Letters of Recommendation
While recommenders mean well, they don’t always translate your contributions into admission-worthy letters. With our guidance, we make sure they advocate better for you.
“As a first-generation student who grew up in Ghana, applying to MBA programs at Imperial College and Warwick both excited and frightened me. But working with my assigned consultant, Naa, helped me see how powerful my experiences had been and how they were relevant to my desired program. I work at Goldman Sachs now & my MBA offer was instrumental. “

The Next Offer Letter from Your Dream School Could Have Your Name on It.
“Students underestimate the work involved in putting together a successful grad school application. From selecting schools that are a good fit for reach applicant to ensuring applications are submitted by their priority deadlines, the process can be stressful. We help with that.”
“A personal statement should describe your skills, experiences, academic achievements, and motivation.”

Personal Statements
The personal statements, otherwise also described interchangeably as motivation letters or statements of purpose (they aren’t the same thing), are an integral part of the university application process. More than just telling your story and sharing your experiences, they are also important documents that demonstrate that you are a good fit for your program of choice.
The Challenge
With Ivy League and other Ivy Plus universities receiving thousands of applications, grades and test scores are the first filter. While some schools remain test-optional, most Ivies and top schools like Stanford and MIT, now require strong standardized test scores.

Frequently asked questions.
IBS is positioned to deliver premium outcomes without the inflated overhead of large firms. You get a multi-reviewer team-based model and a structured process, not a single advisor working alone. Our focus is depth, speed, and accountability with clear scope and pricing upfront.
Yes. We offer family and group pricing for multiple students in the same household or cohort.
We also offer a loyalty discount structure for clients booking multiple standalone services. After four services are booked, the fifth service is offered at a reduced rate.
If you need support beyond your package scope, you can add:
• Additional schools
• Additional revision rounds
• Hourly support blocks
We will flag when you are approaching the limit of what is included in your purchased and share options before any extra work begins.
No. IBS packages are valid for one admissions cycle only. If you choose to defer your applications to a future cycle, we will provide a new quote based on scope and timeline.
Post-admission support varies by tier but typically includes decision strategy and guidance on funding conversations. Assistance beyond two funding or assistantship opportunities is billed separately due to the amount of customized work required.
