Student Testimonials
Below you will find a few unsolicited testimonials we have received: Admissions Consulting Services:
Thanks a lot for your thorough support throughout the application process! I just got HBS offer. Without your help, I probably wouldn’t have been able to turn around the application package over the last 2-3 weeks while working full time.
-Ying (This student used our Elite School MBA admissions package)
I cleared my interview and have been offered admission to the Indian School of Business. Your review of my essays and the mock interview contributed significantly to my success.
-Akshay (This student used our Mock Interview services.)
Thanks again for your help on GMAT prep and my application to the Wharton West EMBA program. Just wanted to let you both know that I have been accepted and begin class in about 6 weeks.
-Sarah (This student used our Elite School MBA Admissions package)
I wouldn't have even known about the WEMBA program if you hadn't taken the time after class to explain what an EMBA was and why you selected it for your MBA. The program is perfect for me and your teaching and coaching were invaluable! Thanks again guys.
-Richard (This student used our Essay Review services)
I just wanted to give you my first feedback about working with Tom for the admission to B-schools. I have submitted my application now for Harvard and Wharton. Without Tom I would have never been able to achieve this within such a short period of time. He was very helpful, responded quickly to my questions and definitely helped me in getting the max out of my candidacy. Great experience.
-Rahel (This student used our Essay Review services)
As for Tom, I was very satisfied. He showed a great understanding of what I wanted to convey vs. MBA's expectation, proved to be efficient and very prompt at coming back to me, correcting my essays, commenting my answers. I highly recommend his services.
-Natalie (This student used our MBA admissions services and took our GMAT crash course.)
Thank you very much for your help throughout this long and arduous process. I submitted my last three applications this week. In sum, I applied to G-town, GW, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and NYU. I guess all I can do now is wait it out and hope for the best. Nevertheless, I am extremely satisfied with the final product. I like to consider myself an extremely humble person and even I think that at the very least, my packets will get a second look from the various admissions committees. Again, thank you very much and I'll be in touch once I hear anything.
-Kyle (This student used our Essay Review services)
I just wanted to let you know that I have been accepted by the business school which I applied for in June. I am sure that one of the key success factors was the essay. I am aware that my essay got only to the level of quality through the very professional and rapid feedback from your staff members. Thanks to the team of Manhattan Review for making this help available quick and with high quality!
-Dagmar (This student is based in France. We offered our MBA Admissions feedback within 3 days of request.)

Manhattan Review's help in my preparation for the GMAT exam was nothing short of priceless. I would suggest to anybody sitting the GMAT exam that taking classes are not just advisable, they are an absolute necessity. Although the GMAT exam is very tough, there is a knack to it and my tutor's help was excellent. I have since sat the GMAT and I have been accepted into Harvard Business School. There is no doubt that I would not be in this situation if it was not for the help of my tutor at Manhattan Review.
-Gordon (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
Just wanted to let you guys know how the GMAT went yesterday. I went from a 660 to 710 and since I was looking to break 700 I'm very happy with that. My Verbal percentile fell from 97 to 95, probably because I didn't look at verbal at all since the last time I did the GMAT. My math on the other hand went up from 48 percentile to 72, for which I must thank you all.
-Adeel (This student took advantage of our private tutoring service.)
I attended a crash course run by Manhattan Review two and a half weeks before my GMAT. The teacher on the course was fantastic and managed to focus on the needs of individuals despite the class setting. I also thought the materials were absolutely first rate. I managed to score 760, exceeding my GMAT goal by 60 points. I was absolutely ecstatic!"
-Chris (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I wanted to let your team know that I am going back to Europe this fall as I am accepted to Oxford University MBA. Thanks for all the help.
-Siret (This student took our New York GMAT intensive course.)
Just to let you know, my overall score jumped 100 points from 640 on my first attempt to 740 after completing the course. Overall, I am very happy with the results I was able to achieve by taking the Manhattan Review course.
-Freddie (This student took our New York GMAT long course.)
I am happy to report that I aced the GMAT with a scaled score of 760. The methodology you provided me with was essential to achieving my GMAT aim.
-Mona (This student attended our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
Excellent course! Great instructor! I really liked the live online teaching.
-John (This student took our Online GMAT long course.)
Great Course! Exceed my expectation. Kevin is knowledgeable and does a good job explaining the material. He also goes to the difficult stuff really quickly and forces you to follow closely.
-Emmanuel (This student took our Online GMAT long course.)
I was very happy with my score. Thanks for a great review.
-Cheryl (This student took our New York GMAT weekend crash course.)
I'll definitely recommend you to my buddies looking at getting into b-school.
-Matthew (This student took our New York GMAT weekend crash course.)
It was surprisingly better than I thought and I received a 690, so I'm very happy with the result. Thanks for the preparation.
-Armin (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
My total score was 740 (percentile 97), which I am extremely pleased with. I will recommend your tuition to any of my friends or colleagues who plan to sit the GMAT.
-James (This student took our London GMAT long course.)
I needed to improve my quantitative score from 55 to 70% within a month. We met for 10hrs. I just took the test this past Saturday and scored within the 72%ile, and will be attending Cornell in the fall. I'm psyched! Dan was very professional and prepared for all meetings. He was able to give me a lot of test-taking tips and set up an aggressive study strategy.
-Rachel (This student took advantage of our private tutoring.)
I actually took it today and you will be pleased to hear that I got a 740. I was very pleased with the result and wanted to let you know.
-Lucy (This student took advantage of our private tutoring.)
I took the GMAT yesterday in Vienna and got an unofficial score of 710! I am more than happy. Many thanks to Manhattan Review!
-Markus (This student took our online GMAT long course.)
I took the GMAT yesterday and . . . scored 80 points higher than last time. Thanks for all your help and the excellent weekend classes. Thank you David, the course was outstanding!
-Bruno (This student took our London GMAT long course.)
I sat my GMAT today (30th May) and managed to score 720. I am pleased with the result and wanted thank you and the team at Manhattan Review for all your help. I found the crash course and the materials (including the online tests) very useful.
-Darshan (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
On the verbal sections, I would have struggled to perform this well had I not been coached by Chris on understanding the 'real meaning' or 'purpose' of passages and quotes. During the course I completely turned around my way of reading, from a superficial skim of the general line, to understanding the essential facts leading to the message, a key skill for GMAT.
-Deborah (This student took our Amsterdam GMAT crash course.)
I took the GMAT today and got an unofficial score of 720 (47 quantitative / 42 verbal)! I'm quite satisfied, given the short time I had to prepare.
-Martin (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
I am happy to report I took the GMAT on the 18th of December and received a score of 750.
-Dan (This student took advantage of our tutoring services.)
I just wanted to write to let you know that I took the GMAT yesterday and got a 710. I'm very happy with my score - I even beat my personal goal of 700!
-Laura (This student took our New York GMAT weekend crash course.)
...Thanks so much for you help! The 80 point improvement was fabulous! I wished I had hit the 700 mark, but 680 is around the 90% mark, so it should be okay...
...The Manhattan Review course not only focuses students upon solving complicated quantitative and verbal problems, but also prepares students for a range of cognitive failures that the GMAT exploits and few books address...
-Sahil (This student took our London GMAT long course.)
Since I took the GMAT preparation course with you approx. six months ago, I wanted to inform you that I got accepted at Kellogg and would like to thank you for your support.
-Fabian (This student took our Munich GMAT weekend crash course.)
I took the GMAT yesterday and got......680 (unofficial score). Needless to say I am delighted, if somewhat stunned. I never thought I'd score 100 points higher than last time around. My maths improved the most (from 32nd percentile to 56th percentile) and I was in the 95th percentile in my verbal. If I'd had a few more weeks I'm sure I could have improved my maths score even more, but I'm happy with 680. Thanks for all your help and the excellent classes. They really were invaluable and worth every minute.
-Mathew (This student took our London GMAT long course.)
I took the gmat yesterday and my unofficial score is a 680! Hopefully, this score will be enough to get me into one of my programs of choice. Thank you for all of your help, your knowledge of the gmat and assistance definitely helped me improve my score.
-Michael (This student took our New York GMAT long course and private tutoring.)
I just wanted to let you know that I scored 750 in the GMAT first time around. Thank you very much for your help.
-Florian (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT weekend crash course.)
I took the GMAT and scored 750 (Q50 V41). I found the Manhattan Review Crash course extremely useful in brushing up concepts and common mistakes, the small class size ensured private attention and the timing suited my hectic schedule. It's a quick fix to cracking the GMAT. Thanks Manhattan Review!
-Nitin (This student took our New York GMAT weekend crash course.)
Yesterday - exactly one month after the weekend crash course - I took the GMAT and got an unofficial score of 710! That's really great! Thank you for all your support and help.
-Thomas (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT weekend crash course.)
I just wanted to let you know that I took the GMAT yesterday and got 700. Thanks for your help.
-Simon (This student accessed our online recording library and is based in Italy.)
Did my GMAT again today and scored a 720! So Manhattan Review course contributed to a 80 points increase in my score (first time I scored 640).
-Steven (This student took our Amsterdam GMAT crash course.)
I got a 730 (unofficially). A 44 quantitative and 47 verbal. Interestingly, my score on the verbal side went up on each practice exam and the actual exam, while my math score was exactly the same every time, even though I studied much harder for the math because I found it more difficult than the verbal.
-Ian (This student took our New York GMAT long course.)
I have just finished taking the GMAT, and I received a score of 720 :) Thank you for all the support and help.
-Abdullah (This student took our New York GMAT long course.)
I was able to raise my maths score significantly from 28 (25%) to 43(71%)... So in total I raised my GMAT score from 490 (36%) to 580 (64%). The AWA score was 5.5 in both tests…I got into one of my two first choice programs. Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you again!
-Stephan (This student took our Munich GMAT crash course.)
I talked with my friend about this after every class. The consensus was that we both were charged after coming out of your classes. It was the type of feeling where if I had the time I would have study for a good 12 hours. I hit a 47 for an 82nd percentile on the math...Verbal went a touch better at 48 for 99, leaving me with a Total scaled score of 760 and knocking me into the 99th percentile….I also received 6 out of 6 on my AWA.
Thanks for all of your help.
-Eric (This student took our New York GMAT long course.)
At the end of March I took one of your weekend GMAT courses in Frankfurt. I just wanted to let you know that this investment has paid off!!! I took the test two days ago - and my total score is 730! I’m so relieved... Thanks a lot to all of you.
Kind Regards,
-Anja (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
Now I am preparing for my GMAT tests. The course books Turbocharge Your GMAT and Official Guide For GMAT are very helpful. I think the combination of these two books is very good. What I like the most about Turbocharge Your GMAT course is Vocabulary lists. The other books don't provide such lists, but for me as a foreigner it is very important to learn the words that may appear in GMAT. For example, I was afraid not to understand a task in math section or to misunderstand it, and not to give correct answer to relatively easy question just because I didn't understand the data or the question. But after I learned Math Vocabulary list I very seldom misunderstand a task. Now the hardest GMAT task for me is Reading comprehension, because my vocabulary sometimes is not enough to understand a text, especially if it is historic matter. So now I am learning words from Vocabulary lists. Now I study hard every day, because I realize I am at a disadvantage in comparison to test takers, whose native language is English.
-Natalia (This student is based in Russia.)
I got a 670 on the GMAT and I am very happy with that result. I find it difficult to have enough time after work and on weekends for all the things (GMAT, TOEFL, Essays) that are necessary for a business school application. Therefore I am glad that I took your GMAT course because it saved me a lot of time in the GMAT preparation.
Thank you again and best regards
-Max (This student took our Munich GMAT crash course.)
I attended a weekend course with Manhattan Review, the perfect timing for me while working. We managed to cover a lot of ground very quickly and I ended up with 760, just what I needed for the Sloan program at London Business School that I will be starting later this year.
-Rupert (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I took the GMAT recently & got a score of 690 (91 percentile). Although, I was aiming for a score over 700 I am quite satisfied with it, since I have a very busy schedule and I had very little time to prepare. I believe Manhattan review's weekend course and the mock tests really helped me maximize my score within a short time frame. Further, the classes gave me an opportunity to interact with fellow test takers which was very useful since I learnt from their experiences in preparing for the test and taking the test.
Thank you & regards
-Raja (This student took our Berlin GMAT crash course.)
I took the GMAT crash course last year in August in Zurich (it was the weekend of those terrific floods in Switzerland...), and I remember the instructor telling us to let you know how I did. Sorry it took so long! I got a 680, which was good for 90th percentile, and it got me an 80% scholarship at the school that was my first choice. Thanks so much for the assistance. On more than one occasion I heard my instructor's voice in my head during the exam. It helped immeasurably! The strategies, tactics, and the overall mindset he prescribed made all the difference. Thanks again! Please pass on my thanks and appreciation to my instructor.
-Chris (This student took our Zurich GMAT crash course.)
This is just to let you know how I did in my GMAT. I got 710 overall, with my essays collectively graded at 5.5. I was quite pleased with my result. Please pass on my thanks to our instructor. I thought he was an excellent tutor and I enjoyed his approach to teaching the (invariably dry) subject matter.
-Daniel (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
Today I scored 610 for my GMAT. This is 70 points up from the first time I took it. The Manhattan Review crash course certainly helped me to improve my score!
Cheers, Saskia (This student took our Amsterdam GMAT crash course.)
I took my GMAT today and, as promised, am now reporting my GMAT score to you. 770. Not shabby, eh? Thanks for all of your help! I got a 47 on verbal, which was 99th percentile. 49 on math (90th percentile), overall 99th percentile. I am, to say the least, a happy camper.
-Jen (This student took both of our New York GMAT long course and private tutoring.)
I just got back from the test. Here's the result. 670 overall with 48 on the math and 34 on the verbal. Thanks so much for your help!
-Mika (This student took our New York GMAT crash course.)
I just wanted to let you know that this weekend's course in Barcelona was superb. I found really useful and the instructor was extremely efficient, with both a very good knowledge about the topic and an impressible ability to communicate with the students and explain! Wonderful, I would strongly recommend it to anyone preparing for the GMAT without hesitation. I also wanted to thank you for all your administrative support!
-Marta (This student took our Barcelona GMAT crash course.)
You asked that I send you my GMAT score, so here you go: 680 (unofficial).I'm pleased and relieved. Thanks for your help.
-Dave (This student took our New York GMAT crash course.)
I attended the December 2005 weekend GMAT course and would just like to pass my thanks to my instructor. I only had time to do about 5 hours self study so found the Manhattan Review course critical to my success. I took the GMAT for the first time last Friday and scored 690. Many thanks to the team.
-Jonathan (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I did the GMAT and unofficially scored 730!!! I never expected such a result, because I did not have much time to practice (approx. 1 week). I just gave it a try... That’s maybe the best attitude towards taking the test. The prep course with Manhattan Review helped a lot to achieve that. Thanks all for the great course!!
-Andreas (This student took our Munich GMAT crash course.)
I took the GMAT this past weekend in Manhattan and got a 680. I'm quite happy with the score - a bit frustrated as I wanted a 700, but still pleased. The course was helpful. The best part I feel was the time spent drilling - and answering our questions on specific problems.
-Mike (This student took our New York GMAT crash course.)
I attended your GMAT course in Munich, which was fantastic, I regard it as a great help!
-Andy (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
I attended one of your preparation courses and now got a GMAT Score of 710, which is quiet good, so thanks for your help!
-Daniel (This student took our Germany GMAT crash course.)
Just did my GMAT and got 720 score! Very pleased with that, your course was an excellent start for the preparations. Many thanks.
-Maarten (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I have recently attended this weekend session of the Manhattan Review's GMAT course in London. I had hoped the course would be valuable in improving my mathematical and critical reasoning skills. Instead, the course exceeded all my expectations. I mentioned my observations to a group of fellow attendees and we all agreed we had learnt more in one day from this course than in our final year of secondary education!
-Christina (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I really found the course to be extremely useful, especially in helping me remember math that I learned back in the 9th grade and learning short-cut techniques to cut through grueling calculations.
-Jason (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I took the test yesterday…and got a 710! I am really pleased with that result, and want to thank you Laura for all of your help during the Manhattan Review weekend. I definitely am glad that I took the course :)
-Lauren (This student took our Frankfurt GMAT crash course.)
I got my GMAT score up to 740. Thanks again for all your help and, hopefully, I’ll see you next year as a student.
-Tapiwa (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
The math part was excellent in reviewing algebra. The review of English grammar was superb and I honestly feel more confident. I would certainly recommend this course to my friends. I was also happy with the English sentence correction review. Prior to coming for the course my score was really poor in the sentence correction section and now I am making tremendous progress. I feel I will be ready to do the exam in the first week of March as I am busy working for the moment as a junior doctor in Edinburgh.
-Ikol (This student took our London GMAT crash course.)
I took the class with Joern in August and scored a 760 in September. Thanks for your help!
-Mark (This student took our Germany GMAT crash course.)
Thought you’d like to know…I scored 770 (unofficially) on the test Monday morning in Twickenham.
-Alan (This student took our GMAT crash course.)
Thanks for all your help, and the solutions you sent. I just thought I would let you know that I took the GMAT exam today and scored 720. I am thinking of going to INSEAD for a 1-year course beginning January 2003. I thank you for your help and wish you all the very best for the future.
-Michael (This student took our GMAT crash course.)
Overall went well - 730. Thanks for your help. My performance on sentence corrections really improved thanks to your dissection of those examples in class. Give my best to Joern as well. I hope to either see you at INSEAD or Joern at Columbia if all goes well.
-Gerry (This student took our GMAT crash course.)
I thought you may like to know my GMAT score. I sat for it on Dec. 17 and got a 730.
-Eric (This student took our GMAT crash course.)
Just to let you know that I got a 690 on my GMAT. Not what I aiming for (700) but quite OK given the time I put in. Thanks for all your help and maybe see you at INSEAD!
-Filipe (This student took our GMAT crash course.)
I am very pleased to report back that thanks to the Better Score Guarantee and the helpful Manhattan Review staff, I was able to retake the GMAT on 12/19 and improve my score by 60 points, from 620 in June to 680. I am extremely grateful for all of your assistance along the way and am looking forward to taking advantage of some of your career and admission consulting services as I apply to schools. I will surely recommend Manhattan Review to friends and colleagues who plan to sit for the GMAT in the future.

-Chelsea
Funny, made things clear and related things to real life. The course was very helpful, I don’t think I would’ve improved my reading skills without it. This course also gave me strategies to break down a reading.
-Niaema
He helped us relate new vocabulary words with words we use everyday. I learned some excellent SAT tips and new vocab.
