Origin Story - Why did we start TopMBAPro?
We founded TopMBAPro because in our decades-long service as MBA mentors and consultants, we've observed that Chinese-speaking MBA aspirants often lack the resources and networks that are critical not only for getting into the best business schools, but also for getting the most out of their business school experiences.
For this reason, we aim for TopMBAPro to become the "one-stop-shop" that helps Chinese-speaking MBA aspirants obtain the best possible preparation and guidance for their MBA journeys.
