He’s a no-nonsense advisor with a vast wealth of tailored insights for each and every B-school. Adam is brutally honest with his feedback, and he knows exactly how to draw out the most impactful stories by asking the right questions. He asks these questions because not only does he deeply understand what each school is looking for, but he also has the expertise and experience to grasp complex subject matter (whether it’s technology, finance, or other fields). He challenged some of my ideas about Artificial Intelligence, which ultimately helped me communicate my stories with greater clarity and impact. His breadth of knowledge across a variety of topics gave me a more nuanced perspective, which enriched my overall application.
I initially approached Adam after following his blogs for a while, and once you go through them, you realize how generously he shares deep-level insights with the community – literally open-sourcing his knowledge.
In terms of engagement, Adam is extremely responsive, fast, and flexible (even with time zone differences) while maintaining a high level of professionalism. For interview preparation, he made sure I was well-prepared and also tapped into his network to bring in others who offered valuable advice. Adam brings incredible structure (for example, ordering which schools to work on first) to what can otherwise feel like a daunting process, making everything far more efficient.
Beyond the outcomes, Adam helped me grow as a person. I learned how to think critically and communicate effectively – skills I will carry with me throughout my life. I’m truly lucky that Adam agreed to work with me.
