I cannot recommend Austin GMAT enough for anyone embarking on the journey to business school! I am incredibly grateful for the support I received during my entire journey to business school. Elaine and Dr. Amar went above and beyond to assist me with both my exam preparation and the application process. Their expertise was invaluable in helping me craft strong essays, prepare for interviews, and achieve a great score. However, what truly made the experience exceptional was the constant encouragement and availability they provided. They were always there to help me with any question or concern, and their personalized approach made all the difference. Thanks to their guidance, I felt confident and well-prepared every step of the way. Elaine and Dr. Amar truly care about their students' success, and their dedication went far beyond what I could have ever expected. I am so thankful for their unwavering support. If you're looking for a team that will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Austin GMAT!

I started tutoring with Dr. Amar 2.5 weeks before taking GRE for the 2nd time. I am very happy with his services and cannot overstate how much I recommend Austin Elite Prep. My first GRE quantitative score was 150. After tutoring with Dr. Amar, my quantitative score increased to 159. If you're looking for a GRE prep that will provide you with the knowledge and strategies to succeed on this test, choose Austin Elite Prep!

I had an overall excellent experience using Austin Elite Prep services for my MBA application. There are a vast amount of options that one has when it comes to preparing for and applying to MBA programs, and picking the right option is a decision no one takes lightly. After extensive research and several client testimonies I decided Austin Elite was the right fit. For reference, I was a transitioning Army Officer with about 6 years of experience and had done no previous prep work with any service when I began my MBA application process. I initially elected to do just the GRE prep program with Dave Lyon on a trial basis before adding any other options. I called Dr. Amar, and he helped me decide which prep option to enroll with. I decided it would be helpful to do the "math bootcamp" in conjunction with the GRE prep program. The next GRE prep session started in 5 days, and he overnight shipped all the materials, and sent me digital copies of everything to make sure I had all required materials. For me, what was the deciding factor towards selecting Austin Elite for the GRE prep was the "in-person" zoom sessions that was offered with Dave Lyon versus many other competitors who offer pre-recorded lessons. This "live teaching" aspect allowed me the flexibility to go through my thought process and figure out sticking points in some of the tougher quantitative and verbal questions. I saw a major jump in my testing scores from the beginning to the end. Admittedly, I did not retake the course later on but it is of note that Austin Elite allows its students to retake the course within 1 year of enrolling (in case certain topics require additional attention later on). Based on my outstanding experience with Dave, I spoke with Dr. Amar regarding continuing to use Austin Elite for consulting through the application process. From there I began work with Elaine Conces. I had my initial meeting with Elaine approximately 3-4 months prior to Round 1 applications due dates. She was very detail-oriented and got to know me, my story, and my intentions with applying to business school. Within a week or so, she built me a roadmap towards success with specific milestones to meet by each calendar month, along with several revisions of my resume. Elaine worked tirelessly with me for the next several months reviewing essays, short answer responses, and interview prep to make sure that I was accurately and effectively conveying who I truly was to the Adcoms. Working with her was an excellent experience as at times the admissions process can seem extremely overwhelming, and at times, daunting. Having her on my team allowed me to focus on what was important, and she always took the time to answer all my questions with her vast experience with business school admissions processes. Overall I had a stellar experience working with the Austin Elite team. I am heading to Tuck School of Business this Fall, and I am not sure I would be headed there without all the help and support from their team. I highly recommend Austin Elite to people from all walks of life that desire admission to an excellent business/graduate school.

I was a student who began working with Austin Elite Prep for the GRE since the beginning of the first semester of 2022 to enter my MBA program in Fall 2023. Through the preparation, I began taking classes with Dr. Amar. I wouldn't be where I am today without his help. He assisted me with all my questions, comments, and gave me recommendations for processes when needed. He was helpful every time I needed. After obtaining my desired score, I began working with Elaine Conces to define my target schools, essays, and interviews. She was always wonderful when giving me recommendations and advice from beginning to end of my application process. I would definitely say that Elaine was a huge part of my success in my application process. I would definitely advise everyone who's going to take the course to be 100% into it. Most of it depends on whether you take the classes seriously. If so, you will be successful in your application process. Dr. Amar and Elaine know all the steps you need to take to enter the top schools in the US. I'm happy to have been accepted to 5 of the top schools in the United States for the Full-Time MBA program and finally decided to attend Georgetown McDonough. I couldn't be happier with my decision and thankful to Austin Elite Prep.

I highly recommend Austin Elite Prep for both standardized testing prep, and MBA admissions consulting. After taking the GRE with minimal preparation and getting a mediocre score, I signed up for the GRE prep course with David. The virtual classroom environment was extremely engaging, never moved too fast, and always ensured everyone understood the concepts. Due to my busy, and unpredictable work schedule, I was invited to sit in Dr. Amar’s GMAT classes if I needed to make up a GRE class. I also received 1-on-1 tutoring for Dr. Amar, who is not only extremely smart and kind, but is able to break down concepts and problems in such a way to ensure I understood how to solve the problem. He also always made himself available at times which worked for me even if late at night. Between the course and Dr. Amar’s help, I was able to raise my GRE score 12 points in only 2 months. Working with Elaine as my MBA admissions consultant was truly invaluable. She is a wealth of knowledge and was able to guide me throughout the whole process. She truly cares deeply for each of her clients, and that can be seen in the time she invests in you through research, linking you in with past clients, and effort she puts into any product or question you give her. She helped me understand what my goals were, and used that to help shape my narrative for the right schools. She knew how to translate my military experiences into resume that would help highlight my skills and experiences to admissions. Through a lot of back-and-forth she was able to help me craft strong essays that all helped me go 4/4 on interview invitations. Her interview prep is unparalleled. We spent probably 12 total hours preparing and because of her thoroughness, I came out each interview knowing I was 100% ready for that interview. I got into my #2 program with significant scholarship, and was waitlisted for my #1 school, which is a top 5 program. I would not have had this success without the help of Austin Elite Prep.
