Having applied to MBAs a few years ago with another consultant (unsuccessful results), I was first skeptical about admissions consultants in general — but Adam was different. With his help, I got 5/6 M7 interview invites and 3/6 M7 admissions + HKS. I have referred several of my friends and colleagues to him and I strongly recommend his service to anyone seeking hands-on, critical and constructive advice.
During brainstorming sessions, Adam refrains from giving an easy answer as it might alter your originality. He encourages you to create your own unique story by examining your past achievements, present work and future aspirations together. It takes time, but these sessions will help you lock down a unique, interesting core story. Having submitted one strong application with much investment, my other applications only took about a week to complete.
When Adam looks through your written material, he is straightforward and time-efficient, which I found very effective. He does not sugarcoat his comments just to make you feel better but rather gives useful, critical and insightful comments. You will need to put in the work from your end as he is hard to please, but once you get a ‘go’ signal from Adam, you know your application is as ready and strong as it can be.
Definitely prepare at least one interview with him and he can also refer you to other talented consultants for an interview experience with someone who doesn’t already know you.
Thanks Adam!!
