I worked with Adam in a previous application cycle and again in 2020 as a reapplicant. Having worked with both Adam and a large consultancy offering packages in the previous cycle, I can say with full conviction that Adam is (i) someone who provides a critical and constructive opinion that really helped me move my applications forward; and (ii) by far more experienced any junior consultant staffed by a large consultancy (in my opinion, akin to paying Goldman to sell your company and finding that your main point-of-contact is an analyst fresh out of school).
Several things to highlight are that Adam is highly responsive, experienced and knowledgeable about the ins-and-outs of individual programs. I especially appreciated his no-nonsense and practical approach that improved on my own ideas and helped me frame my story cohesively. I found applications very challenging and I was tempted at times to push my application to R2 because I felt that my essays would not be good enough by the R1 deadline; however, Adam’s responsiveness and ability to accurately identify weak points really helped me meet the deadlines. Interview preparation was targeted, comprehensive and extremely helpful for the actual interview/TBD.
All in, I am extremely happy with the advice Adam provided and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trusted advisor for their applications.
