THE IVY GROUPE DIFFERENCE
Most MBA admissions consulting firms assign you to a team.
At Ivy Groupe, every engagement is led personally by Shaifali Aggarwal – a Harvard MBA who has spent nearly fifteen years helping applicants craft authentic, compelling stories that earn admission to the world’s best business schools.
No handoffs. No junior consultants. Just deeply personal, high-touch guidance.
This is boutique consulting at its highest level – and it makes all the difference.
WHO I SERVE
Ivy Groupe works with ambitious professionals who have built impressive careers but struggle to step outside their own story – and who understand that the right guidance can make the difference between a strong application and a truly memorable one.
Clients come from finance, consulting, technology, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and beyond – including international applicants and re-applicants.
What they share is a commitment to telling a story that feels true to them, and the judgment to know they need the right partner to help them find it.
RESULTS THAT LAST
Ivy Groupe clients have earned admission to the world’s most selective MBA programs – including every M7 program and leading global schools such as INSEAD and London Business School.
Many have also received significant scholarship awards.
But the results go beyond admission. The clarity, confidence, and self-understanding developed through this process shape what clients do next – in business school and beyond.

“For anyone fortunate enough to work with Shaifali, I can assure you – it’s a transformative experience. Her guidance goes beyond consulting; it’s a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Shaifali is not just an exceptional consultant; she’s a mentor, a strategist, and a trusted partner in your MBA journey.”
MY APPROACH TO MBA ADMISSIONS CONSULTING
At the heart of Ivy Groupe’s philosophy is a simple truth:
-
If you want want to stand out, you need to be true to yourself. Admissions Committees are not evaluating a resume – they are trying to understand the person behind it.
-
If you want to differentiate yourself, you need to go beyond what you’ve done and articulate why it matters – what has shaped you, what drives you, and how your experiences connect.
-
If you want to be memorable, the human element must come through.
I believe the MBA application process is more art than science. It requires strategy, but also reflection, empathy, and the space to uncover what matters most.
Together, I help you:
-
Clarify your MBA goals and career vision
-
Connect the dots in your professional journey
-
Craft an application that is powerful, personal, and unforgettable
