Adam clearly made a difference in the outcomes of my MBA journey.
He helped me sharpen my story, clarify my goals, and present my background in a way that felt both strategic and authentic.

What stood out most was his support during an unusual interview situation.
After my first CBS interview did not feel like a fair reflection of my candidacy, Adam helped me think through the situation carefully, communicate with admissions professionally, and stay focused on facts rather than emotion. That approach ultimately led to a rare second interview opportunity.

For the retake, Adam helped me rebuild my preparation, refine my messaging, and enter the interview with much more clarity and confidence.
I was later admitted to Columbia Business School and Kellogg with scholarships,  and I truly believe his guidance played a meaningful role in that outcome.
I am grateful for his absolute honesty, judgment, and commitment throughout the process.
