Kellogg Future Leaders – Deferred Enrollment Program

I’m so glad that I had a consultant like Adam for my deferred MBA application. Deferred MBA’s are more competitive than a traditional MBA due to the limited number of seats available, and that only M7 and a select few colleges have a deferred program to begin with. Given that my profile didn’t really stand out too much compared to some of my peers, I didn’t expect much. Case in point, I was actually rejected by a lot of consultants that I didn’t really stand a chance, and should look to apply 3-4 years down the lane. Then, I approached Adam, and we instantly hit off. More than anything, he made me believe that I had a strong chance. For the five months that we did work together, he was monumental in being able to bring out the best in me, in my application. From having initial brainstorm sessions and essay reviews, to being a strict interviewer who showed no mercy on me, Adam prepared me really well for all scenarios. Adam is, in my opinion, a “No B/S” coach, which is something that was necessary for me.
Apart from the coaching, he would connect with me personally after every call. We would discuss various topics and that would make me feel at ease, especially after a grueling discussion, ensuring a healthy balance of emotions. He isn’t just a coach. He is an exemplary mentor who knew me even better than myself. Choosing Adam was the best decision I made, and I would 10000% recommend him to anyone who’s reading this.
