Ivy Groupe is a leading boutique MBA admissions consulting firm founded on one clear belief: your authentic story is your greatest competitive edge.

 

Since our inception, we’ve helped hundreds of clients gain admission to the world’s most selective MBA programs, including Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton. Recognized by Poets & Quants as a top boutique MBA admissions consulting firm, and named a top admissions consultant by Business Insider and Poets & Quants, Ivy Groupe is trusted by ambitious professionals in finance, consulting, tech, and beyond to deliver strategic, story-driven MBA admissions guidance that gets results.

​

But what truly sets us apart is how we help you get there.

​

We listen deeply, challenge thoughtfully, and partner with you to uncover the throughline in your journey – so that every part of your MBA application reflects who you are and where you’re headed next.

 

At the heart of our MBA admissions consulting philosophy is a simple truth:

​

• If you want to stand out, you need to be true to yourself

• If you want to differentiate yourself, you need to approach the application process with your heart

• If you want to be memorable, the human element must come through

​

We believe the MBA application process is more art than science. It requires strategy, yes – but also reflection, empathy, and a safe space to uncover what matters most.

 

That's where we come in. 

 

Founded by Shaifali Aggarwal, a Harvard MBA and former finance professional, Ivy Groupe brings over a decade of experience in MBA admissions consulting to help clients shape authentic, high-impact applications.

 

With a deep love of the written and spoken word, Shaifali has personally guided hundreds of applicants and built a trusted reputation for helping candidates develop powerful narratives, strong resumes, and MBA essays that get results.

 

Today, Ivy Groupe is a collaborative team of MBA admissions consultants who work closely behind the scenes to ensure every client receives high-touch, strategic support. Each Ivy Groupe consultant holds an MBA and undergoes a rigorous vetting process, including writing, storytelling, and feedback evaluation.
