I thoroughly enjoyed working with Adam through a long and demanding application process. As a re-applicant, I started the entire process afresh and overcame crucial weaknesses thanks to Adam’s guidance. During my first conversation with him, he told me that my ‘dream of studying at a top business school’ would be over if I did not improve my GMAT. As painful as that sounded, he was right. I ended up retaking the exam and improving my score, something that tremendously improved my odds of getting in. I was invited for interviews by 3 of the 5 top-ten US schools I applied to. I will be joining CBS this fall and I owe Adam a ton of gratitude for that.

 

Adam’s professional, methodical and no-nonsense approach helped me understand where I stood in an overrepresented applicant pool I belonged to. Having worked with another consultant prior to Adam, I was immediately impressed by the superiority in his knowledge, abilities and network from the very beginning. His top-quality insight into not only schools but also a variety of careers and cultures helps him understand his clients better. At his disposal, he has the depth of knowledge, resources and network to give you the edge you will need during the application process.

 

If you’re a working professional juggling a million things and need highly qualified and precise advice in a limited amount of time, Adam is your guy. He will neither waste your time nor his own. He will not shy away from tearing your essay into pieces hours before a deadline if he does not think it will get you through. His ultimate objective is to get his clients into their top school, not to maximize his hours. He is great guy personally and professionally and genuinely enjoys getting to know his clients. If you’re planning to work with an admissions consultant, I very highly recommend working with Adam. Book him early else you may regret not working with the ‘McKinsey’ of B-school consulting.
